Reviewed by Shannon Hilson You’d have to be living under a rock not to have experienced the ubiquitous hype surrounding the recent Valentine’s Day release of Fifty Shades of Grey, the film adaptation of E.L. James’s erotic novel of the same name. Maybe you’re of the camp that sees Christian Grey as a brooding, romantic figure to fantasize about. Maybe you see Fifty Shades as disgusting, misogynistic trash that glorifies troublesome (but all too relevant) horrors like domestic abuse, stalking, and brainwashing. Whichever camp you hail from, it’s more than a little likely that you have strong opinions about the film, the characters, and the way the storyline addresses certain themes. That’s exactly why I was intrigued when I …

So, today there’s a knock at the door, and an envelope sitting on my deck, and this evening, I pop it in. And this is just terrible. Terrible, I tell you. Terrible that …

‘TUSK’ Review
By Robert J. Thompson II MoreHorror.com Let me start by saying that when TUSK first came out, there wasn’t a theater within an hour, and forty-five minutes, from me, showing it. As a huge Kevin Smith fan, this was disheartening. Every time I planned to drive, to see it, something came up. I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to catch it until it came out on DVD/VOD. Then a stroke of luck, and our little local indie theater, Cinema Center, got…
