It was disgustingly difficult for Oiwa to look at her father's dead body. It was the only thing that had ever been able to make her break free from her abusive marriage to samurai Iemon. And now, even as her husband and brother-in-law vowed to find the killer, she was stuck in her unhappy home with just Kohei, the household servant, to see her anguish.

The Strange Bridge That Kills Dogs
Scotland is a pretty quirky place, filled with oddities and mysteries. Imagine a land where people use a word that's normally a bad one as a term of affection, where a strange dish made from sheep's stomach is considered a delicacy, and where the national animal doesn't even exist. If you venture north of Hadrian's Wall, you'll find yourself in a land of ancient castles, misty valleys, and dark, mysterious lakes with something lurking beneath the water. And if you happen to visit the village of Milton near Dumbarton, you might stumble upon a weird, gothic bridge where dogs keep doing something incredibly strange.

3 Iconic Horror Movies That Haven't Aged Well
I might be a bit of a modernist, but I'll always give credit where it's due. In the case of so many of history's most famous movies, sometimes a story can truly endure through the generations (The Shining, Alien, the best episodes of The Twilight Zone).

'Pet Sematary: Bloodlines' - A Cinematic Offbreed Fit to Its Name
I might've been fashionably late (by several decades) with my first Pet Sematary review. Being a 90s child, though, I suppose I have my excuses. But there's really no reason I couldn't at least grace the world with my thoughts on the 2019 remake before a pandemic swept the world. And for that, I owe you all an apology, and a promise to do better.

The Intrinsic Terror of 'Pet Sematary' (1989)
Of all of Stephen King's stories, perhaps none is more innately chilling than Pet Sematary. Where Stanley Kubrick's The Shining terrifies the viewer with its slow-rolling and measured portrayal of isolation in the sprawling Overlook Hotel, what director Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary provides is utterly visceral in its simplicity. Where The Shining opens to a car slowly winding its way up a desolate mountainside, Pet Sematary's introduction to the characters is marked by the abrasive passing of a speeding tanker. Pet Sematary is devoid of the subtletly that defined the Kubrick horror classic.

The 'Halloween Trilogy': Because 10 Halloween Movies Weren't Enough
Watching the new Halloween Trilogy is funny when you know Jamie Lee Curtis - not as the veteran actress who made her acting debut four and a half decades ago as Laurie Strode in the original 1978 Halloween movie - but as the rigid, hot dog-handed, mixed martial arts-trained, self-stapling tax attorney from Everything Everywhere All at Once. Even with a list of credits that stretches back to the days of Jimmy Carter's presidency, it's hard to unsee her for her role in that famously bizarre, interdimensional odyssey of a film.
