THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 31: Martyrs (2008)
31. The Best Horror Film Ever Made You Haven’t Seen Pascal Laugier went through a depressive episode before he made this; it may be one of the most Catholic movies ever made. It’s a movie about pain that so upset audiences that many walked out. It’s not an easy watch; it’s also a movie I’ve […]

THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 25: Project Metalbeast (1995)
25. A Horror Film That Has a Good Review on The Schlock Pit Website I love The Schlock Pit so much, and if a movie is good enough for them, it’s good enough for me. 1974: Special ops soldier Donald Butler (John Marzilli) is inside an island castle where he finds a werewolf, which he […]
