With Bad Impulse, Michelle Danner delivers an absolutely thrilling commentary on contemporary society’s obsession with technology that makes us question whether “we are no different than animals in the jungle in the jungle.” Exploring family dynamics, the analytical thriller horror elevates the vibrancy of the storyline by keeping every detail in the audience’s hand, but
Mother Superior, which Marie Alice Wolfszahn wrote as well, starts with character credits displayed as files and logs.

Just recently, I talked at length with one of my colleagues about the significance of mystery in the horror genre. There is an element to the story that neither of us appreciate, and that is how every detail is revealed. Not only my co-worker, but myself included, find this quite unappealing, especially when the explanations
For me, it’s not the act of death that frightens me. What is truly horrifying is the pain involved in getting there.

“All of us do what needs to be done so that we can pass except for Marc. He is panicking trying to complete his final paper, and the only solution is pulling an all nightery in the library, cramming. When he woke up, Marc was shocked to realize that his paper was missing! Now alone
