Set in the 1970s, Black Hole uses the tropes of that decade's best horror movies -- bell-bottoms, sex, monsters, drug use and murder -- and twists them in unexpected ways to explore psychology, symbolism and the weirdness of growing up. A sexually transmitted disease called "the bug" mutates its teenage victims in creepy, disfiguring ways, giving one an extra mouth, and another a little tail.

Joining a trio of hobbled freshman on the sidelines was co-captain Jessica Holsey, who sat ominously on the bench with a mystery injury that she sustained in practice on Tuesday. The team’s offensive leader and top returning...
...Technologies has its way. The privately held firm produces an antimicrobial material that gives anything in which it is embedded an enduring resistance to bacteria, yeast, algae and mold. AgION, which has raised $40.5 million in capital, works with manufacturers up and down the supply chain to incorporate its bug-busting stuff into everything from water filters to doorknobs and even the casing of a cell phone, the Motorola i870...
