Posted in Horror Reviews on July 15th, 2010 by Fatally*YoursReview by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier Screamplay has got to be one of the most unique films I’ve ever seen. It is filmed like a washed-out, grainy black and white movie from the silent era mixed with sparse, geometric set design of German Expressionism and all pulled together by a murder mystery.

Posted in Horror Literature on February 23rd, 2010 by Fatally*YoursReview by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier I started reading Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter right after seeing Young Victoria (what can I say, I’m a sucker for period dramas!) and was delighted to find that this book parallel the film in many ways.
