Home Sweet Hell Trailer Features Blood-Splattered Katherine Heigl Brandishing a Samurai Sword

Home Sweet Hell doesn't look like it'll be winning any awards for subverting dominant cliches about women or mental illness (though trailers can be deceiving), but dang if Katherine Heigl isn't compelling as a woman who takes all the self control of her Stepford Wife Life and turns it to murder most foul after being the butt of a major betrayal of that Stepford illusion. And the combination of dishwashing gloves and a katana sure doesn't hurt.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
