Octavia Spencer Chillz And Thrills In MA.

The new Octavia Spencer horror film MA is awesome. I loved it…. Maggie a teenage girl played by Diana Silvers moves with her Mom (Juliette Lewis) into a new home. She’s the new girl at school and Maggie quickly gets swept up by a fast crowd. One day after school, Maggie and her pot smoking …

Arsenal

If you are looking for a formulatic action thriller, then Arsenal is not it. The new film directed by Steven C. Miller feels more like an indie experiment. And that’s just fine. Shot in just thirteen days, Arsenal is a fast moving, blood soaked thrill ride that asks “How far would you go to save your …

The VV itch

I’ve read countless glowing reviews about the new horror film The Witch – this is not one of them.

Their lyrics; an honest reflection of issues faced as inner-city youth. As popular as they became …

The music alone is creepy enough, but what’s unusual about this film …
