Aftershock is a preposterous movie, but the genius thing about it is that it’s so totally in on its own schlocky premise that it approaches being good. Definitions of “good” obviously vary from person to person and so forth, but … Continue reading ?

It happens to the best of us, and while I can honestly say it’s an extreme rarity for me personally I’m still more than a little ashamed on the occasions where it happens. Show More Summary

Since then, critics seem to be having fun with it, so I sent Bloody’s Evan Dickson in without warning to see if he could survive the violent Eli Roth-produced thriller. While he did enjoy it...
