Welcome to my strange world of Blogs, Books, Movie Reviews, Podcasts, Stories, and Art!
The article critiques a found footage horror film set in a haunted hotel. It comments on the oversaturation of paranormal reality shows and films, noting that while the premise offers potential scares, the execution falls flat with tired characters and predictable scares. Ultimately, it lacks a compelling narrative, earning a low rating.
Recently, some friends and I came together for the release of our anthology book, "A New Liberty." This book of protest poetry and stories was created and conceived after the re-election of Donald Trump to the presidency and was our response to it. All proceeds from the book will go to Planned Parenthood of Michigan.… Continue reading The Great Change reading
Two quick hit review, friends. SNOW WHITE (2025) I have a kiddo and I like the movies, so the two things collided as we took her to see this film. I admit that I am not keen on musicals and didn’t have much interest in the film but the deluge of petty hate the film… Continue reading Movie Review Quick Hits – SNOW WHITE (2025) – CAPTAIN AMERICA: Brave New World
Before I jump in, I have to plead with filmmakers - please, please, PLEASE when you are mixing your films make sure any music you have in the mix that it doesn’t drown out the dialogue. There, that feels better. OK. It’s always fun to find a sort of found footage film I haven’t seen… Continue reading LUNOPOLIS – found footage review
I think a lot of people have been surprised at how quickly the Trump regime has gone from a clown-show to a full-blown fascist regime. A lot of people supported him and his views and ideals, it’s true, but many never took him seriously enough. Too caught up in their own lives and escapes to… Continue reading You Can’t Ban the Imagination
It’s rainin’ frogs, hallelujah it’s rainin’ frogs. Amen! I have to say, when it comes to throwing me a curveball, this one fits the bill. I did not expect to see a found footage movie about a froggy man cryptid. The film fits in with similar films of someone obsessed by something they want to… Continue reading FROGMAN – found footage review
Fair warning going in. This is not your average found footage horror film with a ghost or boogeyman. This is more akin to MAN BITES DOG and, as such, is more “real.” The real in this case means that you have some very incel-ish behavior, and if you are someone who is upset by violence… Continue reading EVERY SINGLE SOMEONE – found footage
Are you a monster? We all have a bit of the beast in us. Some more than others. ARE WE MONSTERS is a collection of short stories about monsters, mostly beyond imagination but some too real to want to believe. It's available in paperback and on Kindle. Cover photo and design was by me. https://www.amazon.com/Are-We-Monsters-Chris-Ringler/dp/B09JVKDJPJ
Hey there, my name's Chris. This is my podcast and this episode is about me and the podcast. Hot potato!
First, and foremost, Huggin Molly is a real-live folk-myth. She’s said to be a witch that prowls the darkness looking for children who are out after dark, who she then hugs and screams into their ears. Why? WHO KNOWS? Witches be like that. I just wanted to state that first, as I happened to look… Continue reading HUGGIN MOLLY – found footage review
As someone who has made a couple of short films I understand how hard it is to get the stars to align and make anything. There’s a reason why the great directors are so revered and it’s because they managed to catch a tiger by the tail and then ride it into glory. Even with… Continue reading BAGMA – found footage review
Religious horror is having a moment. It’s interesting because horror is cyclical. We’ve seen religious horror—ala possession films, films about demons, and movies about the devil—come and go. Each decade has its spate of them, and we are definitely in the middle of ours. It makes sense in that the fear that an outside intelligence,… Continue reading THE BABY IN THE BASKET – movie review
