I remember Mission to Mars and Red Planet seemed to come out around the same time, and I found myself more interested in the De Palma film because it had to do with the ‘face on mars’ and the possibility of life on that distant planet. And who doesn’t love that idea? Red Planet, despite…

Vampires vs. The Bronx (2020) – Oz Rodriguez
Vampires vs. The Bronx feels like a bit of a throwback to those teen/young audience horror films that were springing up during the 80s.
