I was rather surprised and pleased by this horror/suspense film. I didn’t expect much going in, that’s for sure. It’s a film in the “city folk go out into the country and run afoul of the rubes” movie mixed a … Continue reading
In that there’s an actual Skyline film franchise is a bit of a surprise. I saw the original Skyline and thought it had some interesting visuals and ideas but was ultimately not a very good flick. To my surprise, seven … Continue reading
