About

Hello, we're The Snarky Cats of Ulthar, digital comic book creators and bloggers. This started out as a spin-off from our main blog and its original tagline was All the Weird Shit That Doesn't Fit in the Other Blog. While that's somewhat accurate, it makes it sound as if it's just a pile of trash assembled by a mad raccoon - it's not. There are 5 categories of posts, which can be seen on the sidebar along with our social media links and other websites.


- The Apocalypse (reviews of apocalyptic narratives, from books to movies)

- Horror Reviews (film and TV reviews of religious-themed movies)

- Bible Snark (humour about religion)

- Peter Thiel (reviews of Thiel's essays, speeches, and more)

- đŸ¤” (humorous theories about stuff meant as jokes and not to be taken seriously) (really, they're JOKES)


None of this is good enough for Google Search Console, which considering all the crap one usually finds online, it may actually be a compliment. So, thank you for ignoring us, GSC!



You can follow us on:

We still have an Instagram account, but we don't really post there anymore, and due to the Meta AI training crap, we won't be posting any images from our books on Threads apart from the covers.

Film Review: Smile (2022)

Welcome to Smiling Demon Double Feature! I already reviewed Truth or Dare (2018) Director’s Cut  and now I’ll be reviewing Smile (2022). Warning: SPOILERS . Dr Rose Cotter, a psychiatrist dealing with her own trauma, finds herself haunted by a smiling entity after a terrified patient kills  herself in front of her. As she tries to find out what’s happening to her, she learns that she’s not the first person to go through this and that it always ends the same way - death. The premise isn’t exactly original - It Follows (2014) has a similar concept and Truth or Dare (2018) has a similar demonic look - but the beginning was promising with Laura’s story, her gory suicide, and first glimpse of the titular smile. However, the rest of the movie never fulfils this promise. It was a wise move to add smile-free hallucinations to the entity’s very limited bag of tricks, because apart from Laura and later a nonexistent woman at Rose’s nephew’s birthday party, the demonic smiles that signal the e

Film Review: Sister Death / Hermana Muerte (2023)

Sister Death | Hermana Muerte (2023) is a Netflix prequel to Spanish supernatural horror movie VerĂ³nica . I know I’ve watched that one, but I don’t remember much of it save that it may have involved a Ouija board session gone wrong. It doesn’t really matter, though, because most of this movie takes place in the 1940’s and it’s only in the very end that there’s a short scene that serves to link it to VerĂ³nica . Warning: SPOILERS . The year is 1949, and Sister Narcisa is a novice who arrives at a convent to teach poor girls. A decade earlier she became famous for being at the centre of miraculous events, but now that she’s about to take her vows, she’s beginning to have doubts. As she struggles with her lack of faith, she becomes aware of a dark presence who’s been haunting the convent. The other nuns may not believe it, but the children know that if you play one of the hangman’s games that turn up scribbled on the walls and your name appears on the black board, you’re next… The conven

The Cellar (2022)

I’ve recently watched The Cellar (2022) and decided to write a review. Warning: SPOILERS . A family moves to a weird-looking house with suspicious symbols engraved everywhere. It doesn’t take long for things to get spooky and one of them disappear in the creepy cellar. Even spookier? The exact same thing happened to the family of the previous owner… People really should start being more careful about suspiciously cheap houses. Especially when they look like that. Sure, it’s not as bad as the Crimson Peak manor, but it’s still obviously a place where weird shit happens. And that’s before Ellie and Steven find a strange recording on a gramophone that was hidden in a secret room. Oddly, their parents don’t seem to have a problem with that, nor do they explore the house in search for other secret rooms. However, that’s nothing compared to the sequence in which Keira insists that a terrified Ellie go into the cellar with only a flickering candle and her mobile phone for light to check th
