This is the MeFi Horror Club pick for April 17. More about MeFi Horror Club hyeah.

I make no warranty as to whether this is any good. It's been on my list, and I was going to screen it after getting the MHC pick to make sure it was up to snuff, but then I got a touch of the bubonic plague (or norovirus, whatever) and haven't had the chance. I'll be watching it right along with you fine people.

Never heard of it but I'm going to watch just to see if Sean Bean keeps a good head on his shoulders.

Etrigan, so you're the one who passed me the plague. I never knew it was possible for a person to cough so much and not lose their lungs.

Nope, I had a different organ trying to expel itself via the mouth.
