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
FOUND : An Anthology of Found Footage Horror Stories – Found Footage Book Review
The found footage subgenre is an interesting one because it existed for years in other forms before it made its way to film. One could posit that ANY film that featured a first-person perspective could lean towards that but it’s the idea that it is footage that captures something almost forbidden and then discovered later… Continue reading FOUND : An Anthology of Found Footage Horror Stories – Found Footage Book Review
BOOK REVIEW – NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ‘90 – The Version You’ve Never Seen
It would seem safe to assume that most horror movie fans have at least HEARD of the seminal classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, the film that modernized how the living dead were captured and presented in pop culture and media. The crazy thing is that as influential as that film was the makers of… Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ‘90 – The Version You’ve Never Seen
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
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
AUDITION – found footage review
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
Mister Howl – by T.W. Burgess – found footage book review
You read that right, a found footage book. Crazy. And brilliant. I had discovered this book via a post on a horror blog (I don’t want to venture a guess which and get it wrong) and headed over to the Kickstarter page and chipped in to help it along. The idea of a found footage… Continue reading Mister Howl – by T.W. Burgess – found footage book 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!
