THE SCORNED (2005) is notorious for three reasons- We're discussing perhaps the worst film ever covered on ScreamQueenz in our entire sixteen-year history.

So buckle up, because we’re about ...

But in order to survive, they must not only conquer the demon they released but also the demons they hide within themselves. Despite the provocative title, PORNO (2019) isn't really about explicit nudity, sex and exploitation. At its core, it's a surprisingly thoughtful morality play about faith and ...
