Took a chance on a blind rental on iTunes called Freaks. This is not a remake of the classic horror film… and shame on them for using the same name for what is ultimately a horror film of sorts (but … Continue reading
Rented a very bad movie on iTunes called Radioflash. The premise and angle was interesting so I gave it a blind watch… which was a big bad mistake. So a Radioflash is another name for an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) … Continue reading
