WILLOW CREEK (2013): Review…Goal Line Fumble

Those of you wonderful folks who actually read this stuff I post on here with any regularity already know that I’m a fan of bigfoot films. You also know that I’m one o’ those folks willing to give “found footage” a fair shake; besides The Lost Coast Tapes (which was kinda marginal), I’ve only seen one […]

THE DEN (2013): Review…Who’s Really Out There?

The last time I visited an online chat room was in the 1990s, so I don’t know how different today’s chat rooms look from the text-only ones that I remember, and thanks to my recent viewing of The Den, I really have no desire to find out. The Den, directed by Zachary Donohue, also the […]

The Pissed-Off Sasquatch EXISTS!

Lionsgate has released the official trailer for Exists, the new film from Eduardo Sanchez and the hairy beast is upset, possibly because he’s been featured in yet another found footage horror flick. In fact, director Eduardo Sanchez is pretty much responsible for the found footage trend. There have been decent movies like V/H/S/2 since he […]

THE POSSESSION OF MICHAEL KING (2014): Review

Quick: what is the first demonic possession movie you can think of? For most people, I’m assuming it is The Exorcist.  For you, maybe it was The Last Exorcism, The Conjuring, Paranormal Activity, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, even Demons or [REC] 2—the list is endless. Regardless of the film you picked, odds are pretty […]

INFLICTION (2013): Review…What Is Justifiable?

I came to Infliction with the blurb on the poster being my sole insight as to what the film would be. I was anticipating some heavy violence and showcasing of a nihilistic viewpoint, likely in a very exploitative, “found footage” fashion. What I got was…a little different. Two brothers with an affinity for video embark on […]

AFFLICTED Second Opinion Review

Just when you might think there couldn’t possibly be another vampire movie made, another one comes along to prove you wrong. Such is the case with the recently released Afflicted, a feature-length debut from Canadian filmmakers Derek Lee and Clif Prowse, who have written and directed several previous shorts together. The film starts out charmingly […]

AFFLICTED (2013): Review…A Fresh Perspective

There are often times that I go into a movie with certain expectations, and am completely caught off-guard by what the film gives me.  More often than not, that’s a negative thing; I wind up being disappointed and soured because I’d believed a film would be better than it was.  However, there are those rare […]

HUNTING THE LEGEND (2014): Review…A Solid Effort

All of you out there that take the time to read these reviews o’ mine with any regularity know that, despite some opinions around here, I am not a hater of the “found footage” subgenre of horror.  I have, however, made it clear that I’m not a fanatic; the lion’s share of these films just […]
