Then It’s Not a Real Giallo

All the Colors of Giallo Review

All the Colors of Giallo Documentary Review

Growing up in a large [and loud] Italian family, I remember my excitement when I first learned of the huge influence the culture has had on the horror genre.

The Badger Game Review

The Badger Game | Repulsive Reviews | Horror Movies

Have you ever been traumatized so badly by a film that you try to avoid anything and everything that even remotely reminds you of it in the tiniest bit?

I’m not traumatized because the film was ‘so shocking,’ like many articles have claimed, but because the damn thing was so awful, painful to sit through really.
