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 – found footage review

THE BEFORE TIME – found footage 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 – found footage review
AWAKE IN THE WOODS – found footage 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 – found footage 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
#SCREAMERS – found footage review
Found Footage Review - not the older sci-fi creeper. Are you old enough to remember the weird 'screamer' videos that were all the rage for a few months years back? This is around 2000 some time. Let me refresh your memory - the biggest one of them was seemingly a car ad. We see a… Continue reading #SCREAMERS – found footage review
MURDER IN THE HEARTLAND – THE SEARCH FOR VIDEO-X – found footage review
Found Footage review. Oh man, a pseudo-doc that is a companion piece to a found footage movie. Oh SNAP! I am in. This is a really fun idea and way to expand this story and the world of VIDEO-X. Let's see what we have. MURDER IN THE HEARTLAND is presented as a documentary investigation into… Continue reading MURDER IN THE HEARTLAND – THE SEARCH FOR VIDEO-X – found footage review
BLACKWOOD EVIL- found footage review
Found Footage Review (well, technically a pseudo-doc). As I said in an earlier review, when done well, a pseudo-doc can be really impactful and powerful. The air of legitimacy it can bring in creating a small semblance of believability is fantastic. It can't be easy to pull off but, when it is, it's great. POUGHKEEPSIE… Continue reading BLACKWOOD EVIL- found footage review
THE BLACK WATER VAMPIRE – found footage review
Ooooh, a pseudo-documentary. I love those. It's such a great, efficient way to marry POV footage with an examination into that footage to give it context and framing. Doing the pseudo-doc thing though adds pressure to the film because it's a lot harder to create that sort of believability as opposed to just putting a… Continue reading THE BLACK WATER VAMPIRE – found footage review
UNKNOWN VISITOR – found footage review
Found Footage movie review Oh, man, security cameras are a boon for found footage films. As well as helping protect our homes from invaders and bigfeets they also provide a great vehicle for found footage movies. So many times we scream out why are you still filming during movies when any sane or normal person… Continue reading UNKNOWN VISITOR – found footage review
BAD KITTIES – found footage review
File Under - No, this isn't for real life. This is a movie. There ya go. OK, confession, this is not a movie about kitties. I know that may be a disappointment but, well, I feel like I need to be honest, here. I mean, there's like, a cat in the movie, but this isn't… Continue reading BAD KITTIES – found footage review
FOUND FOOTAGE – found footage review
A Found Footage film review. Oh, goody, a slashy-slashy found footage film to review. We've seen a few of these since the release of MAN BITES DOG and while they are all pretty disturbing in their way - how are they not disturbing when it's a POV movie about someone torturing and killing people, eh?… Continue reading FOUND FOOTAGE – found footage review
SHE WALKS THE WOODS – found footage review
FOUND FOOTAGE SIGN! I guess I never knew there were so many Manly Man Nature shows out there, which, if you trust found footage movies, they're all over the place out there. Maybe they are, out there on YouTube and streaming platforms hoping to get picked up and big. Maybe. I dunno. There's plenty of… Continue reading SHE WALKS THE WOODS – found footage review
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
