One of the posters self-advertises this movie as "The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience." And actually, I think they earned the right to call itself that.

Hubie Halloween Movie Review
Even the eight-year-old within me cringed.

Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith Book Review
The Escape from Furnace series did something to me. I read it several years ago but I still think about it all the time, and it stands out on my bookshelf as a series to look up to and try to one day be on the same level as. Alex Sawyer is the prime example... Continue Reading →
