There have been so many films and stories about vampires over the years that it’s always intriguing to find one that has a novel take. That’s where the new film, LandLord, has its hook: its central baddie is a vampire who doesn’t need to be invited in, as he owns the homes where his prey live.…

As I’ve said in my review for F1, I’m not particularly into sports or sports movies. However, couple that with a psychological horror bent, and you have my interest.

I’m brand new to The Toxic Avenger franchise and Troma films in general. I wasn’t exactly interested in some of their over-the-top sexual material. But this reboot of The Toxic Avenger pulled me in! One thing that The Toxic Avenger does, as Jeremy Jahns says in his review, is fully give you the experience that…
