Reviews of movies and books.
The post discusses the nostalgia for 80s cinema, highlighting both notable films and the lesser-quality ones. It focuses on "FRANKIE FREAKO," which blends 80s influences with modern sensibilities, resulting in a quirky, sincere, and charming film. The unique characters and practical effects create a refreshing experience, appealing to fans of the era.
CANNIBAL MUKBANG explores the intersection of romance and horror through Mark, a lonely man who meets the secretive Ash, a popular mukbang personality. The film balances humor with intense moments and offers a unique perspective on connection in a dark world. Its conclusion, however, stretches credibility despite strong chemistry and engaging themes.
The new 4K release of Romero's THE DARK HALF is a revelation.
CONSECRATION - movie review It’s been interesting to see how religious horror has made a bit of a comeback in the past few years. While these films haven’t been setting the world on fire, they are being made regularly and are clearly making enough to keep them coming. As I have said before, the thing… Continue reading CONSECRATION – movie review
The reviewer shares mixed feelings about the film "SACRAMENT," which combines real and fictional elements to form a faux-documentary. Following three journalists uncovering unsettling truths about a cult, the film explores themes of blind devotion and manipulation. While still disappointed, the reviewer appreciates the acting and haunting imagery, rating it 3 out of 5.
Call this a mix of REC and END OF WATCH, as it mixes those two films far more effectively than you’d guess. Watching it, I was struck at how few found footage films are done with police. There are a few, but not as many as you’d think, considering that many are wearing live cameras… Continue reading LIVE ESCAPE – found footage review
The film "CEREMONY" explores a documentary filmmaker's investigation into a contemporary Egyptian cult. As he interviews former members, he discovers unsettling truths related to a past lover's involvement. While the film presents an intriguing premise and proficient acting, it ultimately misses depth and horror, resulting in a confusing and shallow narrative.
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.
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
There is something about British humor that hits differently. British humor, while it can be just as juvenile as American humor, doesn’t feel the need to explain or dumb itself down. A joke may not land, but that’s fine because there’s another one. American comedies often overexplain things and feel like they are holding your… Continue reading Time Travel is Dangerous – movie review
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
