“She Kills” – A Girl and Her Satanic Vagina Seek Revenge
Written by Brian Linsky
She Kills is a 1970’s style grindhouse sexploitation film at its finest. By finest, I mean the most offensive, distasteful, and demented film I’ve seen in a while, and I recently reviewed Night of Something Strange.
Written and directed by Ron Bonk, She Kills is an adventurous ride down a dark and dangerous path of vulgarity and gore.
The action picks up when young newlyweds Sadie (Jennie Russo) and Edwin (Kirk LaSalle) have their outdoor rendezvous crudely interrupted by a member of the Touchers, a violent gang of shit-kicking sexual delinquents.
Following the confrontation the couple checks into a motel for the evening thinking they’re finally going to be romantic for the first time. After changing her clothes Sadie exits the bathroom to find the whole gang of Touchers in their motel room terrorizing Edwin.
The Touchers are lead by Dirk (Trey Harrison), a devious character with a ridiculous mustache, and an intentionally cheesy persona.
While the gang is in the midst of sexually assaulting Sadie, they suddenly pause and begin acting like a pack of savage gorillas. The crazed animals continue to brutally go to town on Sadie, before turning their attention towards Edwin and ripping him apart.
Though She Kills offers plenty of violence, this low budget film is clearly meant to be comedic as well. The gang’s animalistic behavior was allegedly caused by Sadie’s vagina, which she later learns is possessed by Satan.
Following the death of Edwin, Sadie confides in a friend and learns to use her demonic vagina as a weapon. She embarks on a rampage of retribution against those who had wronged her, letting her nefarious vagina do her dirty work. One by one she hunts down the gang members and painfully dishes out her unique brand of justice.
The absurd plot and over the top characters make for a humorous experience, but will also make you wonder what the hell you are watching. You’ll obviously need to have a sick sense of humor, and a love for cheesy special effects to fully appreciate She Kills.
Other than Sadie, The character of Dirk steals the show with his purposely exaggerated and over-dramatic dialogue and mannerisms. Also because it’s impossible to look away from the horrendous looking mustache.
She Kills is raunchy, vulgar, and filthy, and will probably make you question your sanity but somehow I managed to enjoy the freakshow. This is a wildly entertaining bloodbath that combines the bride from Kill Bill with the plant from Little Shop of Horrors.
This revenge minded love story may not be suitable for everyone due to its shocking content, but if you’re looking for something bizarre, freakish, and eccentric, She Kills is the film you’ve been searching for.
She Kills is currently streaming on demand. You can view the trailers below, and visit their official website for more info.

New Body Horror Film ‘The Substance’ Releases Teaser
We haven’t seen Demi Moore in a movie since The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent back in 2022. She has been busy though, she had a part in Ryan Murphy’s latest Feud chapter and now she is contemplating altering her body to make it more youthful in the body horror film The Substance.
Apparently, according to the official synopsis, there is a newly developed beauty regimen that “generates another you. A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect you. And there’s only one rule: You share time. One week for you. One week for the new you. Seven days each. A perfect balance. Easy. Right? If you respect the balance… what could possibly go wrong?”
A still from the film (used in out header) suggests that this new technology requires a lot more than dabbing it under your eyes or administering a sticky mask. The film premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and was bought by Mubi. No US release date has been announced.
The Substance reminds us of another FDA nightmare, The Stuff (1985) in which a commercially marketed whipped treat turns people into zombies. That film is a dark comedy about consumerism and gluttony. While Deadline reports that The Substance is humourous as well as gory, they don’t say how rooted it is in satire.

Airbnb Scareprank Pits Influencers Against ‘The Strangers’
The Strangers: Chapter 1 was released this week. This is the first part of Renny Harlin’s trilogy which appears to be a retelling of the 2008 original. Early reviews are passable, but many have said it is not as scary as the original and hope this first installment is just a taste of what is to come.
However, social media influencers got the scare of their lives after they were invited to an Airbnb for a special screening. As they watched the film masked home invaders visited them and their reactions were recorded.
The stunt was put together by actor/executive producer Madelaine Petsch and producer Courtney Solomon. You can watch how it played out below.
Soloman was recently interviewed by iHorror and attempted to clear up some questions about how this trilogy fits into the Strangers universe:
“The one thing that seems to register confusion amongst the OG ‘The Strangers‘ fans is that we remade the movie, or that it’s a prequel. Not really. What we did is we took the DNA of the original setup, and wanted to use that because you really can’t do better for a setup, we’re using that as the jumping-off point. Our characters are different. Our scares and our beats are very different. It’s all setting up a bigger story. You’re following these characters, and you will really get to know the protagonist and antagonist, and as they go through, it’s like they almost know each other.”

New ‘Insidious’ Movie Scheduled For August 2025 Release Date
Get ready for another chapter in the Insidious universe. Variety confirms today that another movie is in the works and it could be in theaters as early as August 2025.
Unfortunately, the cast has not been revealed, nor how this entry will fit into the series overall. That means series regulars Patrick Wilson, Leigh Whannel and Lin Shaye haven’t been confirmed as returning actors.
Variety also stated that this isn’t the spinoff Thread: An Insidious Tale, starring Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani that Deadline announced in 2023. They also point out if this newly announced title releases before Thread, it would be the sixth chapter in the franchise.
Insidious has been a hot property for Blumhouse. Initially created by James Wan, the movies have done very well at the box office. Although the last one, Red Door got mixed reviews, it managed to rake in $189 million worldwide, a hefty haul considering the film only cost $16 million to make.
Jason Blum is cited as saying after Red Door the series would take an extended break, “It may not be a forever rest, but it’s certainly going to be a very long rest. … There’s not a plan — as there has been with every prior ‘Insidious’ movie — there’s no current plan in place for number six.”
