Since I watch so many found footage films I figured I'd go offroad a little for the next two reviews. I decided to see what YouTube had to offer. I am looking for feature films as there are far too many short form found footage pieces on there to try to go through. I adore… Continue reading CASSETTE – found footage review

THE COHASSET SNUFF FILM – found footage review
This feels like another of those films that people will stumble across wondering…is this real? No, it’s not. That should be clear if you watch it but, if you happen upon it blindly and aren’t certain then your pal Spooky Chris is here to tell you to rest easy. It’s only a film. It’s only… Continue reading THE COHASSET SNUFF FILM – found footage review
DR. JEKYLL – Movie Review
Can I just start by saying how happy I am that Hammer Films is back? The legendary British film company was a monumental part of horror history as it took classic monsters and made them more visceral and terrifying. There have been some Hammer Films released in recent years and it’s good to see them… Continue reading DR. JEKYLL – Movie Review

THE BLUE HOUR – The Disappearance of Nick Brandreth – Found Footage Review
There is a subtle art to the mockumentary (LORD, how I hate that term). If the filmmakers don't take the subject and the film itself seriously then it becomes parody or worse. The best ones walk the line so tightly that you'd be hard pressed to know it wasn't real if you walked in on… Continue reading THE BLUE HOUR – The Disappearance of Nick Brandreth – Found Footage Review
Broaden Your Horizon
This is a fun time of year for cynics. For folks like me, we get to frown and gnash our teeth at all of the entertainment we love that is not recognized with awards. The movies, the music, the books, and everything else. We insist it isn't fair, we decry a system that's against the… Continue reading Broaden Your Horizon
WE FOUND SOMETHING – found footage review
As someone who has made short films before I have a ton of respect for anyone that gets their film made. ESPECIALLY on the deep-indie level. My first short I lost a chunk of my cast after shooting about half of the movie. I had a long moment where I wanted to hang it up… Continue reading WE FOUND SOMETHING – found footage review
Keep Getting Physical
I suppose if I were to declare a religion it’d be for physical media as that’s the subject I preach about most these days. It isn’t that social and political issues are less important, clearly, but that screaming into the void of the internet won’t do much to change those things. Obviously. WHEREAS I hope… Continue reading Keep Getting Physical
The Spooky Chris Podcast – My Favorite Horror Movies of 2023

Yet MORE Movies You May Not Have Seen – part three of whatever
Well, hello! I am not sure anyone else gets much out of these posts but darn it, I do, so that’s all that matters. I figured though that I have a lot of movies and love a lot of movies folks haven't seen and with video stores gone and not everything streaming there are a… Continue reading Yet MORE Movies You May Not Have Seen – part three of whatever
Tease Me
If you’re like me then you hate to see movie consumers treated as if we’re pumpkin-headed idiots who need to be treated like we’re not bright enough to pick up plots or themes. The film has to be explained fully in a trailer. Everything has to be laid out. We see this in games as… Continue reading Tease Me
