It seems fitting that the first set of reviews would be bunched together in one post, considering I watched both films within the same week and haven’t been the same since.

SoH Reviews: My Bloody Valentine (1981)

SoH Reviews: One Dark Night (1983)
On a whim, I decided to watch this film on Shudder. Well, really because it was less than 90 minutes and that’s all the attention span I had Tuesday.
