Longlegs (2024)
I was planning to cover something political and trashy in the wake of… you know, but that didn’t manifest in time. But you know what I did watch last week?

Evilspeak (1981)
Man, for an early ’80’s horror movie, I honestly expected more. It’s not super campy, not violent or sexual to an almost cartoonish degree, and it’s just… fine. It’s fine. Everyone in it was fine.
