The X Trilogy

Oh Ti West… I love your work and yet, I get disappointed at one of them and it’s devastating! At least according to my ratings on Letterboxd. From the title, you can kind of guess what kind of post this will be about but not. I enjoyed the X Trilogy overall but I definitely felt... Continue Reading →

Art Direction vs Cinematography

I don’t know how or why or where this topic came from to be honest. With all the movies I’ve watched so far this year and just taking notes of how fun and innovative and exciting horror has been lately (it always has been, even in lull periods) and I just wanted to acknowledge some...
