About Meaghan Clohessy
Meaghan Clohessy was once told by her father that she would watch five hours of some guy sleeping as an excuse to go the movies. After finding such a film at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, she agreed he was right. Currently a senior Chatham University, she has spent the last two years writing movie reviews for the school newspaper "The Communique." This is Meaghan's first time taking her reviews to an online audience. She'll cover new releases, mainly horror and action/thriller.
