We are now coming up upon our second Friday the 13th of the year and once again we get a horror remake sure to get within our souls. First of all there is a little comedy and probably partial nudity in Miss March. Dwayne “Don’t Call Me The Rock” Johnson joins the Disney express en route to Witch Mountain. But for those looking for a freaked out good time should check out the remake of Wes Craven’s first film, The Last House On The Left. Don’t let me down remake gods…don’t let me down.

Miss March – Starring Zach Cregger, Trevor Moore, Raquel Alessi, and more.
