It's been interesting over the years to note how "found footage" has infiltrated so many different types of media. To a degree, it was already there with ghost hunter shows, but with the growth of survialist television shows and monster hunting shows you saw more and more of the techniques of found footage and mockumentaries… Continue reading HIMALAYA – found footage review
In a time when everything has become weaponized. Everything is politicized. It feels dangerous to love. Oh, sure, we can do it, be bold, and loud, and love to spite those that hate, but loving is dangerous in times like these. My wife and I are IVF parents. The journey was hard, expensive, and dangerous… Continue reading The Call is Coming From Within the House

I sometimes forget that I have a YouTube page. It's true!I have short films on there, story readings, teasers for some of my books, and an event I did with some other authors to talk about writing. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/@grimringler
Full transparency, I know director Geno McGahee. I met him in a terribly embarrassing way. I reviewed a film of Geno’s years and years ago called RISE OF THE SCARECROWS and I slagged it in a really petty, mean-spirited way. He was good enough to reach out to me after to thank me for the… Continue reading SCARY TALES – Dark Walker – review

I have written over 20 books ranging from children's books to fantasy but what I love to write the most is horror. Haunted beds. Haunted people. Haunted places. Zombies. Armageddeon. Sometimes just the loss of one's self. Monsters. Folk… Continue reading Scares Here, Scares There, Scares Everywhere
It’s so interesting seeing how influencer culture has become such a prevalent part of found footage. It makes sense in that it has become such a huge part of modern American society. People wanting others to see their lives, acknowledge their lives, and follow their lives. Needing to be seen and wanting to turn our… Continue reading MILK & SERIAL – found footage review
I have talked about it before in other blogs but there’s a point with every creative where you ask yourself - why am I doing this? Most of us ask ourselves this about one thing or another. That self-assessment makes us examine the things we are doing and whether they are valuable in the end. … Continue reading You Do It Because You Have No Choice
When I write my political blogs, like this one is, I understand that I am writing them for myself. The people that agree with me already agree with me. Those that don’t are not going to be swayed.That’s how it works. I get that. Frankly, our beliefs and convictions should be strong enough that a… Continue reading A Deep Breath
The term elevated horror is the sort of silliness that only comes from embarrassed actors, directors, and production companies that don’t want their hands dirtied by a genre like horror. They love making their money from the fans but don’t want to admit to having made a dirty horror film. There have always been horror… Continue reading Broken Bird – movie review
