WoHos!!Mac helped me kick off this mini project where I'm dipping my toes into the frigid and weird waters of classic international horror. This time it's David Cronenberg's RABID from 1977. I celebrate the guy's entire catalogue, but Mac wasn't super keen on this one. We both conclude, though, that this is "a mess" [TM].

Hey WoHos!This week we looked at DREAMHOME from Hong Kong and discovered that zip ties serve a variety of purposes!This movie takes the housing crisis in Hong Kong in 2007 as the backdrop for a psychotically-driven woman whose only ambition is to own an apartment with a harbor view.
