“Black Christmas is a great Canadian film — a powerhouse of horror that pioneered the ‘slasher’ genre. Most importantly, it carried a very powerful message, especially for the 1970s: BELIEVE WOMEN.”

#WakeUpDeadMan is the most Scooby-Doo-esque entry in the Knives Out franchise
"Of all the directors working for Netflix, Rian Johnson has figured out the perfect formula: fun, clever films with all-star casts that deliver the goods."

The memory of the mass femicide at Polytechnique is still painful.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Montreal massacre, where 14 women — students at Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique — lost their lives in a mass shooting motivated by misogyny.
