The Seventh Sign (Review)

Blair Witch 2016 (Review)

Posted on March 14, 2017 by OGR

It must have been hard to justify a remake/reboot whatever of Blair Witch, the first 90s viral property that took a single idea and spun straw into box office gold. It must have been hard to find someone to rework … Continue reading →
