Martyrs (2008) | Martyrs (2015) | Horror Movie Review (Rant)
As the 2015 remake starts I notice that it's by Blumhouse and so I know it's going to not just be low budget, but straight up cheap.
Then when the movie opens with the little girl running, it's just as I predicted all the impact of that little girl running has been removed. That stunning image has been ruined! This is what the girl in the opening scene of the 2008 version:

Over the past few months I've been getting into some great projects. whatdidijustwatch.com is up. I am still loading more movie reviews and working on the formatting. You can book mark it now if you like, but when I've finished, there will be a redirect from here to the new site. Feel free to tweet me and let me know what you think of the new site. I'll have reviews posted there soon for The Taking of Deborah Logan, The Den, Dead Snow: Red vs Dead and more than I have time to list.
I am launching a What Did I Just Watch? movie review series on Friday February 13th, 2015 on YouTube. I will be reviewing older horror movies, new horror movies, B horror, extreme horror, foreign horror, indie horror, sci-fi, and thrillers too. The week prior I may release some sneak preview videos. If you are following me on Twitter, G+ or Facebook you'll be the first to know when they publish.
I have also been doing my costuming thing. Here are some examples of what I do when I'm not watching horror movies or writing about them. I have been making horror, sci-fi and fantasy inspired costumes.
Many of the people who order costumes from me wear them to Comicon, Megacon, Spooky Empire and other conventions. I was asked to make something for a superhero themed section of a fashion show, and I chose Babydoll, Alice, and Daenarys "Khaleesi" Targaryn inspired looks.
Now I am working on the victorian nightgown the Bathsheba witch character wore in The Conjuring.
This is the preliminary draping. You'll have to wait until convention time to see the finished product.
If you are interested in a custom made costume, feel free to contact me at:
