POLTERGEIST (1982) – Youth Sacrificed to the Beast

Jay Dyer

Following the success of the 1974 extreme shock and awe horror Texas Chainsaw Massacre, director Tobe Hooper was recruited to direct a Spielberg project called Poltergeist that would be as much of a game-changer for the horror genre as Chainsaw.  Texas Chainsaw Massacre, however, was an innovation in the genre that pushed the limits of what censors were willing to tolerate.

TOXIC CULTURE: ‘Suicide (Skank) Squad’ Film

Jay Dyer
21st Century Wire
Suicide squad is who they call to counsel the people leaving this vapid movie.  Possibly the worst superhero film yet, it even rivals the likes of SpawnCatwoman and Ghost Rider.  At least there was Nic Cage, but here, only a confused and garbled CGI wasteland that is as messy as the single mom tats emblazoned every scene.
