SAFARI – found footage review

Any time I come across a found footage film that does something a little different I have to stop and admire it. In a sub-genre that's become full of movies desperate for the path of least resistance, telling stories in haunted buildings or spooky woods and shaking the camera about a bit and yelling as… Continue reading SAFARI – found footage review

Weak

If there is something that is true about the human-animal it’s that we can all go through the very same things in the same ways and each of us will experience it differently.  The collection of us come from different backgrounds, different make-ups, and have different chemistries at work in us. While ‘nothing is new’,… Continue reading Weak

Mister Howl – by T.W. Burgess – found footage book review

You read that right, a found footage book.  Crazy.  And brilliant.  I had discovered this book via a post on a horror blog (I don’t want to venture a guess which and get it wrong) and headed over to the Kickstarter page and chipped in to help it along. The idea of a found footage… Continue reading Mister Howl – by T.W. Burgess – found footage book review

More Under the Radar Movies You Should Check Out!

A few months ago I wrote a blog about a few movies that I dig that are a little under the radar and deserve more attention and love and I thought I’d make another list of some films that don’t always get the love they deserve.  THE BOOGENS This early ‘80s romp was a regular… Continue reading More Under the Radar Movies You Should Check Out!

Get Physical

As more and more of us turn to ‘streams’ to get our entertainment - and information - content there has been a stronger and stronger pushback from the creative and collecting sides of things. What was once looked at as a great convenience, to turn to a stream for movies and shows, has become the… Continue reading Get Physical

V/H/S ‘85 – found footage review

I have to say, there is something brilliant about the V/H/S brand and it’s that even when there’s an entry that’s a bit of a clunker - and only one or two have been outright dogs - they can win you back with the next one. It takes some new ideas, new directors (or returning),… Continue reading V/H/S ‘85 – found footage review

HELL HOUSE, LLC ORIGINS – The Carmichael Manor – found footage review

There are movies that come out and it's almost like they surprise everyone at how good they are, even the filmmakers. Not that they thought their movie wouldn't be good but that they hadn't necessarily expected it to get the reception it does. When that movie blows up the first thought is...franchise. FRANCHISE! The thing… Continue reading HELL HOUSE, LLC ORIGINS – The Carmichael Manor – found footage review

THE DARK TAPES – found footage movie review

I watch…a lot of found footage.  You noticed that right? I mean, it’s not like, a surprise? It’s not SURPRISE, I AM A WEIRDO AND LOVE FOUND FOOTAGE…LIKE I AM LIVING IN 2000! I love the stuff.  Unabashedly.  POW.  Saying that, I have seen slight variations on the same stories and themes and can guess… Continue reading THE DARK TAPES – found footage movie review
