Dead Lover review go-for-broke grotesquerie promises fragrant filth in full Stink-O-Vision

Dead Lover's heroine is odorous by trade, a lovelorn gravedigger of indeterminate age and origin. Glowicki's accent, roaming between Canada, Canvey Island and Canberra, becomes part of the fun—she's driven to extremes after her verse-spouting poet sweetheart perishes in a shipwreck. Part-Burke and Hare, part-Victor Frankenstein, she salvages what she can of the corpse.

He Created One of the Best, Most Inescapable Viral Videos Ever. Now He's Back With a Great New Movie.

Paul Rudd and Jack Black's Anaconda Remake Is a Ridiculous but Heartfelt Gag Gift: Review

It's a good thing Anaconda isn't meant to be a horror movie, because the few times it tries for such moments, it's not great at it. The first reveal of the titular giant snake feels like an afterthought. The jump scares, while certainly startling in the moment, are pretty well-telegraphed in advance. However, the end result is a movie far less scary than its campy 1997 predecessor, but far funnier - on purpose.

Queens of the Dead star Margaret Cho sums up why queer people love horror so much

In a world that so often feels as though it's stacked against us, queer folk find solace in escapism. Sometimes, that looks like a wild night out in the crevices of some underground queer bar, spilling drinks while watching drag queens lip sync for their lives. Other times, that might be laying at home under the covers, getting lost in the horrors of another world, watching someone bashing brains out in movies, or slay monsters in video games.
