The instantly grabbing element of Oh Jeff! is actually a formalist one. This isn’t a side-by-side horror venture: there’s no guts, no run and gun, no horror show with screaming victims… but there is plenty of comical performance here, and a post-modern and very social contextual idea that surrounds the main structure of the film.

Red Pill by Tonya Pinkins

With It’s Here, horror is stumped up as a delightful 2minutes 30seconds event. It’s got that CryptTV factor: fantastic horror elements, […]
