When animals attack! This is a fun sub-genre of horror, where they take a type of animal and make it bigger, scarier, and more dangerous than than animal would be in real life. Jaws, Cujo, Anaconda, and Piranha are a few examples. It's often very effective as there tends to be natural fears of these animals already. Razorback is an Australian movie about a…
Im not changing much from my preseason picks. (Go Jags!) AFC East - Bills (4-1)Weve known all season that the Bills can put up serious points on just about anyone they want. The question was, can they stop a good offence? Well, after Sunday nights shutdown of the Chiefs I think we have our answer. AFC North - Ravens (4-1)Its going to be interesting…

When he touches someone's…
Watching as many horror movies as I have, it is pretty rare for me to yell at the characters or kick at the TV screen. A Quiet Place Part II had me doing both a lot more than I care to admit. The movie started with a little bit of back story surrounding the Abbott family right before the blind alien creatures arrived and…
