The Edge of Fear by Maura Beth Brennan #RRBC #Thriller #Review
The Edge of Fear is about a couple who lose their child to revenge kidnapping because the kidnapper thinks he’s owed because she’s his ex-wife.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) #Reboot #Horror
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) stayed in my Netflix cue for a while before I finally watched because I was afraid it wouldn’t be good based on my experience with some of the dreadful sequels.

Reading the short description in the app only told me it was a new take on Hansel and Gretel. OK, so this should be interesting. I didn’t realize that […]

There’s Someone Inside Your House (2021) Not Your Average #Teenage #Horror
When Netflix pops me a message saying they have a new film I’m going to love, I always roll my eyes. So when There’s Someone Inside Your House (2021) came in the email, I gave my usual response, but I added it to my list. And, of course, I thought, I can turn it off […]

A Quiet Place Part II (2021) #HorrorMovie Review
Sometimes movies have incredible hooks that suck me in and chew me up, leaving me terrified; other times, they don’t. Let me tell you that A Quiet Place Part II (2021) had the hook. The thing that I never understood from the first installment was the how, and this one filled in those blanks. The […]

The Altar Boy: A Dark Tale of Comedy Sorrow and the Catholic Church in the 1960s by Phil Stephens #Book #Review #RRBC
The Altar Boy is one of those stories that I had difficulty putting down as I wanted to know what would happen next. I related to Carl with his fears of the dark field and creepy people in his hometown and a few of his other experiences. Phil did a fantastic job taking me back […]
