  • Mortuary 1983

    ★★★ Watched 24 May, 2013

    It's rare when you can't tell where a movie's going. It happened to me, though, with MORTUARY, a horror time capsule from the 1980s with weird seances, gross embalming scenes, roller skating, and of course, the God that is Bill Paxton.

  • Excision 2012

    ★★★★½ Watched 18 Oct, 2012 1
