    The Late Shift

    The Late Shift

    Ever wonder what the dead might have to say when they are alone with each other? It turns out that the dead are neither comical nor menacing. They are just tired and lost and in search of peace. They are people like you and me who want to rest now that their work is done. The problem is, the system wants to continue to exploit them even beyond death. It’s a grim proposition but the logical extension of our society when a sinister company reanimates corpses in order to provide free labor for the late night shifts in stores and garages.

    Reincarnal

    Under hypnosis at a party, hip young artist Nora Chaney becomes Heather, a high school girl attending a prom in the heavy metal eighties, where – making love in the parking lot with her boy friend – she is butchered by a sexually-deranged serial killer. Is the party game just Nora’s vivid imagination running away with itself, perhaps fueled by her own hang-ups? But when Nora begins having vivid dreams that foretell current crimes by that same serial killer – still active all these years later – she joins with an investigative reporter to find and stop this madman...and avenge her death in a prior life.

    A Good Head on His Shoulders

    A Good Head on His Shoulders

    In Chicago, in the early thirties, gang wars are an everyday occurrence. Mobster Louie Carboni is used to such violence. But what can the hideous decapitation murders of seven college professors, courtesy of a maniac dubbed the Mangler, have to do with the mob? And what does the mob’s personal doctor – Dr. Stein – have to do with the murdering Mangler? The answer lies in the Mangler himself – a monster who once was a man – as well as in the true identity of Dr. Stein, who has a very illustrious if infamous heritage. And by the end of this lightning-streaked, stormy night, gangster Carboni’s status as head man in town will be brutally challenged.

One star too many

Did the (no doubt male) writer(s) actually use the word, “slutty”, to describe a high school-aged girl in ep 10 : Mercy. I What is the 90’s? Old, misogynistic, tired and beyond played out. Do better.
