Your honor, people of the jury, the evidence reads "I have made my fire and have seen the horses, they are all dead." There is no direct evidence tying the death of the horses to my clients. The area is known to be inhabited by wolves, who are likely suspects. If the death of the horses occured it was due to negligence, which is due to Van Helsing not my clients. In fact it would be in their rights to dispose of the trespassing horses anyway as caretakers of the County in Count Dracula's absence, although they are invoking their right to silence in this matter.

As far as their hostile utterances towards the male intruder found in their bedchamber, these were not acted upon and thus must be considered impassioned statements, an emotional expression of their dismay at the illegal and remorseless violation of their privacy.

Master Ken. Ameri-do-te. Learn those words, they will save you in a street fight.

aw yeah she's a total badass as done by Moore and O'Neill.

I think the character in the movie was kinda cheesy but I don't remember.

Yeah fam, I dunno about Wicca, but in Zen Buddhism they say that work can be a practice too!

Nice. I gotta figure out how to make a meme of this.

This is a youtube video, and I run an adblocker so I dunno if it has mid-video ads or not, but I think it'd be kind of funny if it does.

for some reason I have a link to a copy of that free online: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x97sxja I think it was being considered for a monsterdon watch party at some point...

I just re-watched it, and that score is undeservedly low. Looking over the IMDB (4.6/10) reviews, a big chunk of them were expecting a horror film (apparently it was marketed with a "Blumhouse's..." prefix, and they make horror films?) and were disappointed. Another big chunk don't like it bc it was too "woke" -- well, look around, you don't have that problem any more. There's another bunch that don't like the "loose ends" and underdeveloped characters -- they have a point. This movie could have used another 20 minutes to accomodate more info about the characters, and still been under 2 hours. So if an audience member likes to have everything spelled out for them (which, fair enough; this woulda made a great miniseries) then they have a legitimate gripe. Personally I think it gives just enough info for you to figure out the details, and focuses solidly on the coming-of-age / discovery of self-identity storyline.

@Gullible@sh.itjust.works -- in addition, this was released almost towards the end of covid. I wonder, what did you think about it?

Thanks for the tip, looks like Lords of Illusion is free at Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/546980/clive-barker-s-lord-of-illusions (uBlock Origin adblocker seems to work on it too.)

Yeah, The Craft is definitely a time-and-place kinda thing. I think it was kinda like the "Wednesday" miniseries is nowadays in introducing kids to the idea of "dark culture" and maybe some people look into it deeper. And The Craft was made before Buffy and Hunger Games etc and back then they weren't really thinking of making things for YA girls/women. But it's still an imperfect though entertaining movie, and Fairuza Balk in particular did an outstanding job.
