Read more: Wendell & WildIt’s award consideration season, so here’s my consideration.

Author:
Read more: The Not Quite #5: The Devils (1971)I love shit about repressed female sexuality. Take nuns. They’re a bunch of wretched, feeble-minded cowards, women who cling to a fantasy deity and starve themselves of Earthly pleasures because they’re ashamed of their pussy. Now The Devils may well appear to be about religion and politics in 17th century France, but it’s more to…

All the information you need to decide if Violent Night is worth your money is right there in the movie poster. It’s like Sharknado.
