Another day, another found footage review. Hey, as long as people are looking, baby, so am I. So let’s look. OH, hey, we’re looking at EYES IN THE DARK which sounds ominous but since you shouldn’t be able to SEE Most eyes in the dark it seems like that’s their problem not my problem. Unless… Continue reading EYES IN THE DARK – found footage review
WE ARE THE MISSING – found footage review
I am not sure if it’s refreshing that, with people putting their work on YouTube and other video-sharing platforms that there are more opportunities to get films out or if it shows how cutthroat the industry as a whole has become. While some filmmakers are shooting films with no greater desire than to have their… Continue reading WE ARE THE MISSING – found footage review
The Spooky Chris Podcast – 10 Years After the Crisis Started
Remembering ten years of living with the Flint Water Crisis and its legacy. A personal recollection. Theme by Ross Grimson
Memorialize
Before my daughter was born it occurred to me to create audio recordings for when she was older. It was during the lockdown of Covid and I liked the idea of capturing thoughts and family history. I got an external hard drive to put all of these on as well as photos and any videos… Continue reading Memorialize
The Spooky Chris Podcast – Too Much of a Good Thing
In this episode I talk about the wealth of media we have today between streaming and theatrical content and how hard it is to find the time to watch it all. Theme by Ross Grimson.
Bring on the Witch
If there’s a movie I reference a lot it’s THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT a film that, for me, nailed so much of what I love about movies. With an innovative marketing plan that stretched the bounds of the film past the screen and a deceptively easy premise, the film deserves the legendary status it (sorta)… Continue reading Bring on the Witch
HOME MOVIE – found footage review
I remember first seeing HOME MOVIE several years ago when I was first starting to get into found footage. A friend owned it and passed it on to me. I remember being shocked by it and intrigued. It was so different from BLAIR WITCH PROJECT but still fascinating. Since it’s been many years I wanted… Continue reading HOME MOVIE – found footage review
For the Children
In the charged socio-political climate everything is being weaponized by a very vocal minority. THE CHILDREN! THE CHILDREN! THE CHILDREN! They yell as if that both explains what they do and why. And if you dare to question them then you are said to be trying to corrupt these imaginary kids. We are living in… Continue reading For the Children
The Devil You Know
Looking at recent movie releases it’s clear that the devil is having a bit of a moment. Good for them. We all deserve our fifteen centuries of fame, don’t we? There’s something about the devil that is just an old standard at this point, a well that is returned to again and again for stories… Continue reading The Devil You Know
The Spooky Chris Podcast – It’s In The News
In which I talk about the death of journalism and why it's so scary. Theme by Ross Grimson
RESTORE POINT – review
Thrillers are a darn fun genre, but not one is easy to crack. The ‘90s were filled with them after SE7EN and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and there is always the occasional movie that breaks through and gets everyone’s attention on the genre again and we go through the cycle again. Serial killer thrillers have… Continue reading RESTORE POINT – review
THE BLAIR WITCH 2 – fan edit
Let me preface this by saying that I am not one to seek out 'fan edits'. To me, the movie that comes out is what was intended, or as close as we're apt to get. Movies evolve as they are made. Stories, change, focus changes, actors change, and the film goes through many different cuts… Continue reading THE BLAIR WITCH 2 – fan edit
So You Wanna Make a Found Footage Horror Film – Part 2 – Mocks and Docs
With the general found footage film rules out of the way I can now focus on the rules for the faux-documentary films/mockumentary films. The core rules are the same with both types of movies but there are a few specific ones that sit wholly with the faux-doc/mockumentary. Now, these are not always horror as movies… Continue reading So You Wanna Make a Found Footage Horror Film – Part 2 – Mocks and Docs
