First and foremost, I have to say that this isn’t a feature film. It’s sort of like a novella for movies. It’s longer than most shorts but not a feature (which, for me, is at least 60/61 minutes). That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t recommend it, especially as it’s easily available (for now) on Tubi. I… Continue reading XIII – found footage movie review

V/H/S/: Beyond – found footage review
For a series that has become an annual event, it really is remarkable how solid this franchise is. The use of found footage as the way these short films are presented give everything a connection point and makes it so the films don't need to be big budget. The series is also a great place… Continue reading V/H/S/: Beyond – found footage review

VISHER – found-ish footage review
OK, this movie breaks the rules. I found it on YouTube and it claims to be found footage, but isn’t. It’s SORTA found footage. It uses a LOT of found footage, but also has shots of an actor that wouldn’t make sense to have a camera on him. It’s an angle that COULD be like… Continue reading VISHER – found-ish footage review

THEY ARE WATCHING – “found footage” review
In the title I have found footage in quotes because this isn’t QUITE found footage. It’s one of those movies that frustrate me to no end, the ones that have one foot in found footage and another in more traditional filmmaking techniques. There’s nothing wrong with mixing techniques and styles. At all. It’s not that. … Continue reading THEY ARE WATCHING – “found footage” review

CHILDREN OF THE PINES – movie review
One of the most powerful things about horror movies is their ability to examine heavy topics in a way that distracts you from the topic. It isn’t that they don’t want you to know what they are saying but that the filmmakers are wise enough to know that the best way to examine something, something… Continue reading CHILDREN OF THE PINES – movie review
NAME THE DEMON – found footage review
The supernatural is a tried and true topic for found footage films and horror movies, and with reason. It is our fear of not just our physical selves but our metaphysical selves that keeps many of us awake at night. The fear that not only could something happen to our body, but also to our… Continue reading NAME THE DEMON – found footage review
SCARY TALES – Dark Walker – review
Full transparency, I know director Geno McGahee. I met him in a terribly embarrassing way. I reviewed a film of Geno’s years and years ago called RISE OF THE SCARECROWS and I slagged it in a really petty, mean-spirited way. He was good enough to reach out to me after to thank me for the… Continue reading SCARY TALES – Dark Walker – review
