Kat and Kas’ Spooky October Horror Bonanza Night 13 Review: Midsommar

So Kas had seen this one and I hadn’t. Midsommar is a weird cult story that makes me wish my people (white vaguely Scottish/Irish people) had more culture and legend (or at least that I knew our mythology better).

Kat and Kas’ Spooky October Horror Bonanza Day 9: Immaculate

Kat and Kas’ Spooky October Horror Bonanza Night 1 Review: Late Night with the Devil

Late Night with the Devil is a highly stylized experience for the indie horror cinephile. While it’s not the scariest movie we’ve seen this year, it’s definitely a confident and well-told story that knows what it wants to be. It utilizes classic, practical effects (as well as digital effects) which fit the 70s aesthetic and
