SO HERE’S THE PITCH: Guppies
We’ve had Jaws, we’ve had Piranha, now it’s time to get ready for… GUPPIES. So you know those spas where you can stick your feet in the pools and little fishies just eat all the dead skin off your toes? Well, one night, one of these spas has a terrible accident and someone dies after…Read more
Late Night with the Devil: A B-movie that is exactly what I needed
Let’s be real, this movie is not going to be for everyone. But for a certain kind of person in a certain kind of movie watching population… this is going to be exactly what you wanted. Late Night with the Devil is a B-movie in the best possible way. It was obviously made on a…Read more
Sante Sangre: Wait, is this accessible Jodorowsky?
Hang on. Did I like this movie? I am biased here. I don’t have the greatest relationship with Jodorowsky’s work. His most lauded works come from an era when people were very In Touch with Spirituality. There is usually a whole lot of Symbolism happening, and while I can understand it on an intellectual level,…Read more
A Beautiful, Terrible Thing: Mad God review

It’s spooky season, so have a spooky text game I found
So I found this little number browsing text games on itch.io the other day… https://litrouke.itch.io/please-answer-carefully I’m not going to spoil anything, but this is some extremely simple psychological horror. It’s a very simple set up and it telegraphs the outcome. Normally I’d be iffy on this kind of broadcasting, but it really worked out well…Read more
