DEAD LIST EXECUTIVE BLURB: Leah's a complete gem and a huge inspiration to any and all. I've been a fan of her writing for a long time, particuarly because of how hard she swings for the fences. I was so happy to see her tapping into this sexy, bloody world in a no-holds-barred, female-forward kind of way. The script has a shaky liberation to it that reminded me of watching Stoker. I love how she allows her heroins to fuck up and not apologize for it. She never gets too bogged down, she's able to keep the story rolling. She understands how to play on the audience's expectations. When she wants you to laugh, you laugh. When she wants you to scream, you scream. And just when you think she can't surprise you any more, she does. While Insatitous is not for those who get squeamish at the sight of too much blood, or too many orgasms, it's so perfectly balanced between the sex, the gore, the comedy, and the heart-pumping horror, that it hits its target audience dead centre. — Creative Executive Shauna Joy
