Eric’s Review: Contracted (2013)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★
A brutal and difficult to watch examination of a young woman laid low by a necrotic wasting case of VD. Emotionally rough and viscerally horrifying, this is not one for the weak of heart or stomach.

★★★ out of ★★★★★
This oddly creepy Japanese Golem movie has some great individual moments, with a treatise that art can be so bad that it will devour its creators.
Eric’s Review: Blue My Mind (2017)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
Two great tastes that go great together: Teen coming-of-age movies and body horror. Blue my mind explores a Swiss girl’s transformation into a mermaid while trying to win over the cool kids at her new school in a cycle of self-destructive behavior.
