I have to be honest with this one, this is a short film, not a feature. It’s a longer short film, for sure, but it’s not a feature. The crummy part here though is that this COULD have been a feature. Pretty easily. It’s a two person show, doesn’t really rely on expensive effects of… Continue reading THE HOUSE AND THE WHITE STRING – found footage review

Dashcam – found footage review
REVIEW! Hey you, it’s a review. I don’t rhyme often, until I do. That totally ties into this movie and this review. I SWEAR IT! Anyway. There are movies that are sit down, think about, contemplate, and question your life movies. Those are great. They are amazing. They open your mind to the world around… Continue reading Dashcam – found footage review
FIRESTARTER (2022) – review
Firestarter is not one of the books most King readers point to as their favorite book of his. It’s also not one of the books that, upon mention, people moan over and gnash their teeth about. For me, I have always loved the book. Seen 100 yards away, it’s interesting that his early work featured… Continue reading FIRESTARTER (2022) – review
The Widow – review
Oh, you wily little movie, you. You almost had me. Well, OK, let’s be honest, you did have me. I went into this film thinking it was Found Footage. I was on my endless trek through the wonders of the found footage subgenre and happened on this import. It was dubbed, but that was… Continue reading The Widow – review
FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM: The Secrets of Dumbledore – movie review
Two Housekeeping notes before I begin – that’s the sort of thing they say at meetings, so this is like we’re at a super important meeting about butter or some such. Can we just talk about how silly it is for creatives/studios to declare at the outset of a film coming out – OH, well… Continue reading FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM: The Secrets of Dumbledore – movie review
DEAD VOICES – found footage movie review
The hardest thing with so many of these found footage movies I am realizing is that, as sincere and well intentioned as many of these films may well be, that’s just not enough to make them ‘good’ movies. And by good here I mean successful. GOOD is a relative term. I love PLENTY of… Continue reading DEAD VOICES – found footage movie review
SHADOW OF THE MISSING – found footage movie review
Oh hey, look it’s a faux-umentary, or a ‘mockumentary’, as the cool kids call them. I don’t call them that, but I was never considered cool. Well, other than mom. Mom thought I was pretty cool. I think. ANYWAY… As I have said before, I love faux-umentary films. When done right, it pairs the… Continue reading SHADOW OF THE MISSING – found footage movie review
THE SUPERDEEP – review
Can I just say that this is the dumbest name for this movie? I feel like somewhere along the line it had a better name but, to dumb it down for world/American audiences it was changed to just…tell you what it’s about. Yes, this is about a hole that is SUPER DEEP but geez,… Continue reading THE SUPERDEEP – review
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY – NEXT OF KIN – review
Found-ish Footage Review Can I tell ya that we are in a weird time when a movie from a successful horror franchise just sorta pops onto a seconday streaming service and outside of the hadcore genre press doesn't get much notice at all. Super weird. Not surprising when this is a reboot of a modern… Continue reading PARANORMAL ACTIVITY – NEXT OF KIN – review
THE LAND OF BLUE LAKES – review
Found Footage Review I am just gonna say it now, it's super weird watching/reviewing a Russian film right now but the thing I need to remember, that we ALL need to remember, is that the people of a nation don't always reflect the idiots in charge. So, here we go. This is one of those… Continue reading THE LAND OF BLUE LAKES – review
THE BEFORE TIME – review
Found Footage Review Oh hey there, and we're back. Back with another found footage movie found on good old Tubi. Oh, Tubi, you really are a boon for found footage. This time around we have THE TIME BEFORE, a professional looking found footage yarn that forces together two local newscasters as they try to get… Continue reading THE BEFORE TIME – review
AWAKE IN THE WOODS – review
Found Footage review And then there are the myriad of movies that are shot on video and look like they were shot on video. I am always a bit surprised at this. It can work, for sure, if you are framing it as - hey, we are shooting with a video camera and want it… Continue reading AWAKE IN THE WOODS – review
EATEN ALIVE – review
Oh hey, a cannibal movie review. If you are of a certain age – OLD – then you recall that cannibal movies were a, well, a thing. There was a sort of a fad in horror with cannibals running wild. It seems like an offshoot or answer to the American grindhouse horror of the ‘70’s… Continue reading EATEN ALIVE – review
