Strange, Weird, and Wonderful – off-the-beaten-path movies you should see
I have been consuming movies since I was a wee little monster and to say I have seen some weird movies, some wild movies, and some off-beat movies is to put it mildly. I have seen some stuff. In that spirit, I thought Iād recommend some off-the-beaten-path films I have seen over the years that… Continue reading Strange, Weird, and Wonderful – off-the-beaten-path movies you should see
THE OUTWATERS – found footage review
If I have ever learned anything from found footage it's never to go on an excursion with friends. It never goes well. Like, at least don't film it. Maybe that's the key. Yeah, DO NOT FILM YOUR VACATION! That's just courting disaster. I gotta be honest with you...I can't quite tell you what THE OUTWATERS… Continue reading THE OUTWATERS – found footage review
The Bottomless Dark – 8MM and HARDCORE movie reviews
Some of the fun of being a movie fan is making your own pairings that make sense for thematic reasons, or the same actors are in them, or same director, or whatever else you can think works. For me, I paired the films 8MM and HARDCORE and am shocked at how well they work together… Continue reading The Bottomless Dark – 8MM and HARDCORE movie reviews
THE FLASH – film review (ahhAHHH!)
There is something that feelsā¦ghoulish in watching the last handful of DC movies because they are, for lack of a better term, dead films walking. They are holdovers for a previous regime and, good, bad, or mediocre, the odds are slight that theyāll have any impact on what is to come save for souring moviegoers… Continue reading THE FLASH – film review (ahhAHHH!)
V/H/S/ 99 – found footage review
I have been a fan of the VHS found footage series since it first hit the scene. The concept is amazing - found video cassette tapes with footage of horrific events on them - even if the films didn't really fully take advantage of the conceit. Each of the films has been a mixed bag… Continue reading V/H/S/ 99 – found footage review
John Carpenter’s GHOSTS OF MARS – review
Latter day Carpenter is hard to get your head around. He's one of many modern day filmmaking geniuses that lost favor in Hollywood and after a point his films show that. He and Romero had similar careers in that neithe stopped being good directors, they just lost the funding and support of a system that… Continue reading John Carpenter’s GHOSTS OF MARS – review
THE MIRROR – found footage review
You know me by now. I love found footage. Itās a fascinating subgenre that embraces everything from big budget studio fare to movies made by friends on a weekend. Itās a type of movie that allows you to make the scariest movies seen if you have the right idea and the passion. Thatās pretty cool. … Continue reading THE MIRROR – found footage review
DEPRIVATION – found footage review
Itās fascinating to note trends in something like found footage, which tend to be so connected to the moment that they give a view of what the culture is like at that moment. Sure, itās not 1:1 but itās a good representation of where the culture is at. Most modern found footage is centered on… Continue reading DEPRIVATION – found footage review
LOVELY MOLLY – review
So this is a review for an older film. Sue me. It got some buzz when it came out but isnāt talked about a lot anymore so I wanted to talk about it a little. Thereās a tragedy with horror films in that they are so disregarded unless itās āprestigeā horror that when actors and… Continue reading LOVELY MOLLY – review
PARANORMAL FARM – found footage review
Man, talk about a tease! This film gives you visions of possessed pork, hellish horsies, demonic donkeys, and maybe even malevolent moo cows and all we got were clowns(!) of all things. This was made in 2017, and since that's pre-Covid I can't recall if that was during Clownageddeon or not, I think it was,… Continue reading PARANORMAL FARM – found footage review
THE BOOGEYMAN – 2023 review
There is something about the darkness that is as compelling as it is repulsive. Something primal and vibrant about the fact that in that empty space of black could be anything or nothing. It is the box of possibility both full and devoid of all things. We fear the dark because it takes away what… Continue reading THE BOOGEYMAN – 2023 review
THE WHISPERING MAN – found footage review

This time around we have a paranormal filmmaker with a serialized program online that inherits some things from his grandmother and among everything is a painting called The Whispering Man, cue the spooky music - DON'T CUE SPOOKY MUSIC, THIS IS FOUND FOOTAGE! The… Continue reading THE WHISPERING MAN – found footage review
