UK Thrashers Acid Reign are back with a new album 'Daze of the Week'. Writer and director Damian McCarthy is also back, he, with his latest movie 'Hokum'. I can think of nothing better than mashing up the two of them into a fantastical English/Irish folk horror thrash assault. This is the result.

I get to watch every single David Cronenberg directed movie and then rank them from worst to best. That's right, EVERY ONE! Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 5. A slew of also rans. Some awesome guests. Several pints of beer and over 5 hours of running time split over 4 episodes. This is David Cronenberg, A Lifetime In Movies.
