I have mentioned it, oh, a hundred times or more, that there are unwritten rules to found footage films, things you should stick to in order to retain that tenuous faux-reality. Unlike traditional films, found footage movies are presenting themselves as if they are "real," and as such, they need to come across as at least a LITTLE believable. Sure, we know it's all fake, but going in, we are looking to BELIEVE this could be real, even though we know it isn't, even while going to see an "Avatar" film and not demanding the same.
"Noches de Corazones Negros" is a collection of dark short stories featuring menacing monsters and the unfortunate souls who confront them. The author aims to deliver haunting narratives that provide a literary jolt, reminding readers of the dangers lurking in darkness. It's an invitation to explore a world of malevolence.
"Heedless Reflection" explores the dark themes of grief, highlighting the intersecting lives of a grief-stricken teen and a monstrous man. Both characters are on perilous paths shaped by their loss, leading to a haunting journey filled with danger and promises that carry grave consequences. The narrative delves into the nature of haunting spirits and fates.
"In Roots of Ash" explores an ancient secret in the woods of Munsonville, Michigan, where a looming apocalypse is tied to witch trees and folklore. Originating from a short story, this collection wraps up Tilling Diem's saga while delivering captivating tales of folk horror, perfect for fans of spooky narratives.

It follows a child born from both Heaven and Hell, seeking their purpose amid the chaos caused by God's absence. This unique narrative blends elements of horror and spirituality, offering readers a profound and adventurous journey.
"This Beautiful Darkness is thirteen stories that reveal the darkness in the human heart. From a father teaching his son how to kill, to a woman who inherits a haunted bed, these are the nightmares living in the shadows.

"Road Kill": "A town with much to hide. A young man with nothing to lose. A past born of blood and built on bones.

"Roadkillers": "When it comes to family, there is nothing off limits, nothing too far, nothing that cannot be done in the pursuit of revenge and the truth. For Tilling Diem, there is no bottom, just down, down, down. In this rural gothic follow-up to ROADKILL, one man's search for his own justice will unite him with a power bent on bloody revenge at any cost."
"A Shadow Over Ever" follows Pete Anders, a troubled man seeking revenge on Halloween but unaware of the dangerous forces guiding him. Blending elements of fantasy and horror, the narrative explores themes of existence and power. This unique novel, born from a short story, reflects the author's eccentric personality and promises an unforgettable experience.
Over the past year, the author reviewed short films by an emerging filmmaker, particularly highlighting "The Amasol Project" and "NightBound." While both films exhibit Rios's growth and creativity, they suffer from reliance on dialogue and digital effects. The potential for improvement lies in reduced narration and more tangible scares. Rios's passion is evident.
"Cemetery Earth" depicts the end of humanity in a dark world reclaimed by the dead, driven by an unseen force. The author initially created a short story about a zombie attack during a war, which grew into a larger collection of interconnected tales featuring the character Hunter. The book combines elements of horror and resilience against extinction.
