Before I start, just so we're clear - this is a movie. This is not real. There is no serial killer filming victims and these are those tapes. Let me break it down. No family would agree for that sort of footage to be released. Could the killer release it online? Sure, but it'd be… Continue reading AUDITION – found footage review

THE LOST VLOG OF RUBY REAL – found footage review
Man, if someone hadn't invented woods there'd never have been found footage movies. That's my biggest revelation at the end of 2023. Think of it, from BLAIR WITCH on there have been dozens of found footage films made in, around, and about the woods. Those big old spooky places are just too fertile for creepy… Continue reading THE LOST VLOG OF RUBY REAL – found footage review
REBEL MOON – Part One – A Child of Fire – review
It's a strange time in Hollywood fandom when someone like Zack Snyder is as derided as he is cheered. His fans think everything he does is genius and the rest act as if he's the worst thing to happen to movies. It's not even a matter of the truth lying in the middle as much… Continue reading REBEL MOON – Part One – A Child of Fire – review

SAFARI – found footage review
Any time I come across a found footage film that does something a little different I have to stop and admire it. In a sub-genre that's become full of movies desperate for the path of least resistance, telling stories in haunted buildings or spooky woods and shaking the camera about a bit and yelling as… Continue reading SAFARI – found footage review

More Under the Radar Movies You Should Check Out!
A few months ago I wrote a blog about a few movies that I dig that are a little under the radar and deserve more attention and love and I thought I’d make another list of some films that don’t always get the love they deserve. THE BOOGENS This early ‘80s romp was a regular… Continue reading More Under the Radar Movies You Should Check Out!
Get Physical
As more and more of us turn to ‘streams’ to get our entertainment - and information - content there has been a stronger and stronger pushback from the creative and collecting sides of things. What was once looked at as a great convenience, to turn to a stream for movies and shows, has become the… Continue reading Get Physical
V/H/S ‘85 – found footage review
I have to say, there is something brilliant about the V/H/S brand and it’s that even when there’s an entry that’s a bit of a clunker - and only one or two have been outright dogs - they can win you back with the next one. It takes some new ideas, new directors (or returning),… Continue reading V/H/S ‘85 – found footage review
HELL HOUSE, LLC ORIGINS – The Carmichael Manor – found footage review
There are movies that come out and it's almost like they surprise everyone at how good they are, even the filmmakers. Not that they thought their movie wouldn't be good but that they hadn't necessarily expected it to get the reception it does. When that movie blows up the first thought is...franchise. FRANCHISE! The thing… Continue reading HELL HOUSE, LLC ORIGINS – The Carmichael Manor – found footage review
THE DARK TAPES – found footage movie review
I watch…a lot of found footage. You noticed that right? I mean, it’s not like, a surprise? It’s not SURPRISE, I AM A WEIRDO AND LOVE FOUND FOOTAGE…LIKE I AM LIVING IN 2000! I love the stuff. Unabashedly. POW. Saying that, I have seen slight variations on the same stories and themes and can guess… Continue reading THE DARK TAPES – found footage movie review
Remi Milligan: Lost Director – mockumentary review
I always have a hard time calling things ‘mockumentaries’. The word ‘mock’ catches me. In my head, I hear it as if it’s mocking a subject or style. Not imitating it but making fun of it. Pseudo-documentary feels better but is a lot of goop in the mouth and it doesn’t sound better. I shall,… Continue reading Remi Milligan: Lost Director – mockumentary review
