Hunter Trailer Review from @kleffnotes

Hunter is a horror/thriller film that won’t be a releasing until next year, but I had the opportunity to check out the trailer a little bit in advance. Set in the streets of Chicago, Hunter has been homeless since the deaths of his mother and sister roughly 10 months before the start of the movie. While just a murder could lead someone to feel lost and alone, this murder was even more diabolical than anything you could expect. Continue reading “Hunter Trailer Review from @kleffnotes”

Fangirl Freakouts: Lez Bomb from @kleffnotes

I am a bit late to the party with Lez Bomb, but this holiday film took a bit of planning for me to watch. There are so few queer movies that also fit within a holiday theme and Lez Bomb is a Thanksgiving focused story that shows us one woman’s attempt to come out to family that just doesn’t seem to be listening. I share my thoughts on this movie in this week’s Fangirl Freakouts. Continue reading “Fangirl Freakouts: Lez Bomb from @kleffnotes”
