“I don’t wanna hurt anybody. I don’t enjoy hurting anybody. I don’t like guns, or bombs, or electric chairs. But sometimes people just won’t listen. And so, I have to use persuasion.

Come the end of the year, I’m going to have the hardest time whittling down my Top 10 list. I loved The First Omen and maintain it’s the best franchise horror movie of the past decade.

Exhuma was another sensational addition to the
