One of the crew, Kevin (Aaron Ashmore) sees that the house will be available, so he goes to the sister of the couple (who now owns the house) and makes an offer. Sometime later, he …
My love of family secrets stories--novels, movies, and documentaries--is what led me to 51 Birch Street, a 2005 documentary about Long Island siblings and what they uncovered about their parents after their mother died and father remarried. Okay, it was also the Long Island of everything because despite vowing to never live there again, I …

A couple of entries ago in this series, I wrote about coming across notebooks and journals and said that I would eventually figure out what to do with the journals. The answer came to me quicker than I thought it would. I was cleaning up and went to put something in the nightstand when I …

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... another demon movie. Anyway, this one's a little different because nobody's possessed; it's more like a demon has been let out and is feeding on people. It Lives Inside stars Megan Suri as Sam, an Indian-American high school student who has, over time, set aside or rejected a lot of her …
