These Don’t Go Together
“Shadows of the Dead: A couple contracts a deadly disease [...] after their car breaks down in the woods.”
“I Heart Huckabee’s: An existential tale of love, philosophy and [...] Shania Twain.”
“Annie the Nannie: A family’s new English nanny turns out to be [...] an orangutan.”
“Cornered: Three distant men are re-united [...] for an underground boxing match.”
“Samhain: A disfigured mutant hunts [...] students on a class trip.”
“Cosmic Rescue: Young men and woman live [...] on the moon.”
“Les Daltons: Unsuccessful outlaw brothers steal [...] a magic sombrero that makes them invincible.”
