Okay. You know how I wrote about The Blair Witch Project (1999) being an "early bringer" of the Found Footage genre? Well, so is The St. Francisville Experiment . It was released a year later, but not to theatres and hype and a scintillating website like Blair Witch. It went straight to VHS/DVD, which explains its relative obscurity. The St. Francisville Experiment opens with a producer outlining the experiment: four non-professionals are…
Joe and I watched The Psychic last night. It's a Fulci, so we
thought we knew what to expect. But we were pleasantly surprised! We
were glad to get into it. Lead actress Jennifer O'neill is stunning,
haunted and fraught. Her psychic visions are tantalizing, letting us in
on her mounting horror and providing glimpses of the approaching danger.
It builds tension, it teases suspense. And by the way, I found myself
exclaiming "Wa…
I
never hear about this one. Found Footage 3D, it's on Shudder. The
premise will resonate with some of you! A group of filmmakers want to go to a remote house in the woods
to make a found footage movie, but they don't want it to be same-old
same-old. So one of them gets the idea to shoot it on 3D cameras, and
procures a few. On Shudder it's not 3D, but I understand from a friend
of mine you can get it in 3D. 3D aside, it's …
Funny
thing. I chose Candlewood completely at random (Tubi) for an afternoon
movie. It just so happens to take place in a Connecticut town next to
where I lived as a kid, and where my family still lives. You'd think I would have heard of this one, if not from family, then from still-local friends. Then again, maybe not. This movie is a real stinker. There’s a lot
to say about how the town is presented, but there’s no point. Fact is, I
co…
Alright folks, this post is about a new movie, out this year: It Feeds. Now, every time I post in the Horror Facebook Group I'm in, first I do a Search on the title to make sure someone didn't already post about it. If someone did, then I just Comment on their post with my thoughts rather than start a new one... But funny thing about It Feeds...there IS a post already. In fact, there are six! Only thing is? There are no Comments! I figure…
I
randomly chose Exists from the Found Footage menu on Tubi without realizing that
it’s a Bigfoot movie. It came out in 2015. It’s no award-winner, but I
actually liked it! Therefore I was surprised to find it so thoroughly
panned online (Rotten Tomators, IMDB). The consensus seems to be dumb, annoying characters badly
acted, question about why it was even done as FF (no reason for a
camera in the hands a character), and poor writing and d…
This was a surprise! I just watched Evidence (2013) on Tubi. Don't confuse it with the 2012 movie of the same name. In this one, two detectives watch three hours of footage found at a crime scene on four different cameras. The Nevada desert crime scene is gory, and there are two survivors. It's kinda cheating to place Evidence in the Found Footage genre, because it's only when they're watching the videos that it's FF. But we …
Well. Where to start with The Mansfield Ghost. I must say that I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The build-up was very compelling indeed. Lilly has 100,000 Followers and wants more, so she’s branching out from makeup tutorials to ghost hunting . She gets paid to stay in a “haunted” house. She streams video at the house, for three days leading up to Halloween. The videos are entertaining enough I guess, and when I said “compelling” I m…
You
know what? I had no idea Azrael was a scary movie when I put it on—I
only glanced at the description. I registered the words
“post-apocalyptic” and pressed play. I was pleasantly surprised! I love a
woman featured as a badass, and Samara Weaving is a total badass. In
the movie’s universe, it’s like there’s a religious reason that people
don’t talk. Almost no dialogue in this one! One guy, driving a truck no
less, speaks Esperanto—his …
Oh
my God, can we discuss Dashcam? This one takes place during the
pandemic. Annie Hardy takes a trip from LA to London to visit her old
bandmate. What follows I can't even explain. Except to say that Annie is
the world's second biggest asshole. She's a Trumper, first of all. Red
hat and all. She is a pandemic denier, won't wear a mask. She even
steals her friend's car! All that being said...despite hating the
protagon…
On July 22, 2008 my friends started to lob "movie spoilers" at each other. Here's the list.
It was a sled.
It was earth all along.
He WAS Kaiser Soze.
He was dead the whole time.
He's actually Luke's father.
They shoot the dog.
She leaves Rick and escapes the Nazis.
It's people!
She's a dude.
His wife's head is in the box
It was really the Nihilist chick's toe.
He survives the zombies and is killed by a redn…
Joe asked me to make him a witch he could use as a prop for his short movie, "Don't Go In the Basement." Allow me to describe what I made. A seven-foot tall bony crone with long, scraggly hair, draped in black robes. This is who was always suddenly standing in the front room. "Jesus Christ on roller skates," I blurted five times a day at least, the whole time she stood there. I named her Christine for some reason. ⏹
You guys, Sondra Locke died. Sure, yeah, she was in all those Clint Eastwood movies and look what has happened to him. She did other stuff too. She directed and starred in Ratboy. Ratboy is the absolute 1986est thing you could ask for, and I mean that sincerely.
"Ratboy: It's so hard being different"
I hadn't seen The Thing in years. And all these years later, so many of my favorite creators call John Carpenter a big huge major influence, including the Ross and Matt Duffer, the Stranger Things guys. Of COURSE! Dude. D oes anybody else think the two stories dovetail so neatly that the thing in The Thing becomes the stranger things in Stranger Things? "We wanted something in the vein of the classic films we loved growing up," Ross …
It's weird that I didn't see it when it first came out. I mean, it's got Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford in the lead roles. One does trust A-Listers such as these to pick good scripts, doesn't one? After all, Pfeiffer and Ford have each been outstanding in everything, from comedy and adventure to dramatic roles. Moreover I can't think of a single clunker starring either of them, can you? And yet, w henever the conversatio…
The Conjuring opens in the apartment of two young nurses who are telling Ed and Lorraine Warren their story. Tearfully, they explain how they'd invited the spirit of a lonely little girl to inhabit a doll. "You did what? It was a big mistake acknowledging this doll," scolds Ed Warren. Lorraine Warren explains there was never any little girl ghost named Annabelle, but rather a diabolical non-human entity. "Demonic
spirits don&…
