Can you believe it’s been almost 20 years since M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense (1999) came out? Man, I feel old. I remember seeing this in the theatre, before the advent of the internet spoiler. Those were the days, … Continue reading →

Hail to the King Vol. 18 – The Dark Half

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on August 31, 2018 by Dan PollittAugust 31, 2018

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on August 23, 2018 by Erin ThompsonAugust 23, 2018

It’s going to be fall in about a month. You know what that means – pumpkin spice everything! Unless if it’s pumpkin pie, I can leave it – I’m not a latte fan. However, the advent of fall also means … Continue reading →

The End Is Nigh: Masters of Horror: The Screwfly Solution (2006)

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on July 25, 2018 by Erin ThompsonJuly 25, 2018

“I’ll assume you want to kill me and I’ll fight back with all I’ve got”: Battle Royale (2000) and the Current State of Things

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on June 20, 2018 by Erin ThompsonJune 20, 2018
