The film "CEREMONY" explores a documentary filmmaker's investigation into a contemporary Egyptian cult.

FROGMAN – found footage 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

EVERY SINGLE SOMEONE – found footage

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

Are You A Monster?

Are you a monster? We all have a bit of the beast in us. Some more than others. ARE WE MONSTERS is a collection of short stories about monsters, mostly beyond imagination but some too real to want to believe. It's available in paperback and on Kindle.

HUGGIN MOLLY – found footage review

First, and foremost, Huggin Molly is a real-live folk-myth. She’s said to be a witch that prowls the darkness looking for children who are out after dark, who she then hugs and screams into their ears.  Why? WHO KNOWS? Witches be like that.  I just wanted to state that first, as I happened to look… Continue reading HUGGIN MOLLY – found footage review

BAGMA  – found footage review

As someone who has made a couple of short films I understand how hard it is to get the stars to align and make anything. There’s a reason why the great directors are so revered and it’s because they managed to catch a tiger by the tail and then ride it into glory. Even with… Continue reading BAGMA  – found footage review

THE BABY IN THE BASKET – movie review

Religious horror is having a moment.  It’s interesting because horror is cyclical. We’ve seen religious horror—ala possession films, films about demons, and movies about the devil—come and go. Each decade has its spate of them, and we are definitely in the middle of ours.  It makes sense in that the fear that an outside intelligence,… Continue reading THE BABY IN THE BASKET – movie review

INSIDIOUS – The Further You Fear (show description)

Judging from the interest my review of the INSIDIOUS stage production received, there are clearly folks who wanted to know more about it. I understand that people wanted the trainwreck view, but there are clearly plenty of those statements out there. What’s sad is that there are write-ups about it that are just straight-up lazy… Continue reading INSIDIOUS – The Further You Fear (show description)

GAME CAMERA – found footage review

As a non-hunter, the idea of game cameras fascinates me and freaks me out. I get why people use them for hunting, but man, they freak me out. The idea that you’re leaving a camera in a remote area and could capture any number of things feels inherently creepy. I get that you’re likely to… Continue reading GAME CAMERA – found footage review
