ATTACHED: PARANORMAL – found footage review

Having made a couple movies with essentially no budget - the budget for the first one was the cost of the camera and that stuff, and any loose odds and ends. It wasn't really a budget. I used a friend's kids for actors, and their friends, and then some friends of friends and we did… Continue reading ATTACHED: PARANORMAL – found footage review

VIDEO X – THE DWAYNE AND DARLA JEAN STORY – found footage review

File Under - No, this isn't for real life. This is a movie. There ya go. So here's me the other day, uncertain what to watch and figuring that I'll browse the horror offerings on Tubi. I have watched stuff on there a few times but have never really dug deep into the library. Yikes.… Continue reading VIDEO X – THE DWAYNE AND DARLA JEAN STORY – found footage review

LAST RADIO CALL – found footage review

Have I mentioned that I really love the faux-doc style of found footage? I did, right Right? Sure. Sure I did. I really love them.

It's a form, and what the filmmakers… Continue reading THE POSSESSION OF MICHAEL KING – found footage review

THE THING INSIDE US – found footage movie review

Well, I wasn't GOING to review this movie because, as I stated in my THE WOODSMAN review I have no interest in slagging the hard work of someone, but, well, I can review the movie without slagging it so, here goes. Fingers crossed. THE THING INSIDE US is the story of a married couple trying… Continue reading THE THING INSIDE US – found footage movie review

THE WOODSMAN – found footage movie review

The thing I sort of love and hate about found footage films is that the difference between a good one and a bad one can be razor thin at times. It all comes down to a choice made by the filmmakers on which way to head things and which tact to take. I have always… Continue reading THE WOODSMAN – found footage movie review

GHOSTS OF CHERNOBYL – Found Footage Review

         I will spare you the ‘I Love Found Footage Movies’ soliloquy because I sorta say that in every review I do of found footage movies. I love them, we get it. I just can’t say ‘no’. Even after all the terrible ones I watch, I still come back. And boy are there some terrible… Continue reading GHOSTS OF CHERNOBYL – Found Footage Review
