Leo Hartwell

Leo Hartwell is our dedicated cinephile and the guy you want in your corner when debating whether the Supernatural finale stuck the landing. With seven years of writing about film and television under his belt, Leo brings a unique blend of academic insight and genuine fanboy passion to every review. He holds an HND in Film Production from the University of East London, a credential that means he doesn't just watch movies—he deconstructs them. His beat at ScorpioLikeYou.com is the intersection of fantasy, horror, and the kind of magic that makes you believe in other worlds. Leo is the resident expert on all things Guillermo del Toro, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter, and he has a soft spot for the low-budget genre flicks that most people overlook. Off the clock, Leo can be found haunting local record shops in search of rare fantasy soundtracks on vinyl—his prized possession is an original pressing of the Labyrinth score. He also organizes a monthly underground film club in his neighborhood, where he screens obscure cult classics for a small group of fellow enthusiasts. He's a quiet force, but his love for storytelling is anything but.
