IVE MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION!

Writer and Director Ana Lily Amirpour's first directorial debut feature film, A Girl Walks Home at Night has arrived and it's an entirely different kind of vampire tale than you're normally used to. I first heard about it because it got so much buzz at this year's Sundance Film Festival and then again when it came to L.A. for Sundance's Next Fest.

For the most part, it seems like a basic good vs. evil battle. Joss Whedon said he was going to make the sequel have a...

I don’t know about you, but before Twilight’s vampire craze, I already had a soft spot for those blood-sucking creatures of the night. I mean who wouldn’t?

It's a good one! ** Spoilers ahead ** I am not a horror film fan. I appreciate the genre but considering that my over-amped imagination will turn a sight of a little girl with long hair in ghostly white attire into a full epileptic seizure within me, I try to stay...
