Roger Ebert's review, DAWN OF THE DEAD (1979): "It is gruesome, sickening, disgusting, violent, brutal and appalling. It is also (excuse me for a second while I find my other list) brilliantly crafted, funny, droll, and savagely merciless."
My review, MANHUNT: See above.
Also, freaking brilliant.

Corey reviewed The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias
Review of 'The Devil Takes You Home' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Gabino Iglesias calls his work "barrio noir," which is an almost perfect term, but it lacks a certain supernatural element that weaves through this spectacular work. Maybe "barrio urban fantasy horror noir?" Nah, too wordy.
Whatever you label it as, this novel is a gem. A dark, disturbing, blood-spattered gem.
