Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension

Sandy ended the evening by showing Terrified (2017), an Argentine horror film about three paranormal investigators who set up investigations in three different, nearby houses. Things...don't go well.

  There are surprisingly few monsters on the covers of Terror Tales, but man, there are lots of half-dressed (if that) beauties about to split in half by buzzsaws or have acid dripped on them or other grotesque forms of mayhem. And these are not covers where a heroic chap is bursting onto the…

No joke, I overslept. Off to work. See ya tomorrow. Watch Party tomorrow.
