Vampires Vs. The Bronx (2020)
“Sanguine”-trification! Using vampires as a metaphor for gentrification is a great idea. When injected into the right kind of film, be it a straight horror film or a blended horror/comedy, it has the potential to not only educate but entertain. In Netflix’s Vampires Vs. The Bronx, the idea is definitely present, but the film strugglesContinue reading “Vampires Vs. The Bronx (2020)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: The Watcher In The Woods (1980)

Murder! Boxing! Comedy! Abbott and Costello Meet The Invisible Man finds the popular comedic duo facing off with a man on the run for a murder that he didn’t commit.
