Customer Reviews
Great!
Really great stuff!!
Cherry Falls!!!!
I thought this movie was a fever dream from my younger days! I was obsessed with the tv version here shown in the US when I was younger. Never realized how gorey it was bc it was a TV edit!! Loved the episode and revisit!!
The Best Ever
Well, if you aren’t obsessed with Anna, you are wrong. I adore this podcast. Smart feminist analysis is so needed, and I love keeping up with these themes. Well researched, smart, to the point, funny, and highly entertaining. I thoroughly recommend.
I only got into horror a few years ago, and thanks to people like Anna, who form a core community of devoted film analysts who share their minds with the world, I’m a convert.
