Review by: Stacey

Goddamit, you guys.  That poster is pure shit.  PURE. SHIT.  Who approved this?  Who allowed this to be released to the public and represent the film?  Unfortunately, the poster is the least of the worst when it comes to 2016's latest addition to the ever-growing pile of supernatural horror- Satanic.  The name alone suggests a lack of effort from anyone involved.  Even though it's already out on VOD, I have yet to hear anyone else talk about it (hell, even IMDB only has 2 user/5 critic reviews); am I one of the only other suckers that watched it?

Regression (2015)

Review by: Stacey

Regression is actually less of a horror movie and more on the crime/mystery/drama side but here at To Avoid Fainting, we do whateva we want; and because it was directed by Alejandro Amenabar (if you haven't seen his Spanish thriller Tesis, drop what you're doing and go watch it now).  Coming from the same guy behind The Others and Open Your Eyes (which ultimately became Vanilla Sky) and with a cast that included Emma Watson and Ethan Hawke, I was sure this flick wouldn't let me down.  Well, readers, I'm here to tell you that, unfortunately, it did.
