I wasn’t planning on writing about Scott Schirmer’s Found. It’s been out for a while. It is a relatively unknown film. And, frankly, it’s not especially great. But, after watching it, I haven’t stopped thinking about it for the past few nights. What I keep coming back to are scenes or ideas in the film … More Found (2012) – REVIEW
Recently, while spending some quality time on Twitter, I replied to @KreepyLady Kristin’s tweet about Richard Raaphorst‘s Frankenstein’s Army telling her (unsolicited, natch) that I had been meaning to watch it for a while but hadn’t gotten around to it. That interaction inspired me to watch… Wolfcop! (you thought I was going to say Frankenstein’s Army, … More REVIEW – Frankenstein’s Army (2013)
I was in Montreal this past weekend. A weekend when, if I were in Chicago, I could have attended The Massacre, a 24-hour horror film marathon. Either Montreal was not having a 24-hour horror marathon, or I am inept at searching for such things among French language websites. I did find P=ωρ L’Energie Sombre (pronounced, P=omega•rho … More P=ωρ L’Energie Sombre (2015) – REVIEW
A while back, I saw the trailer for Summer of Blood. It looked like a funny, goofy vampire movie. It seemed like director/writer/star, Onur Tukel, would be playing a parody of Tim Heidecker’s character from The Comedy – an unambitious New Yorker. And he would be a vampire. My interest was piqued. I put it … More REVIEW – Summer of Blood (2014)
Let’s get that question mark up there out of the way, shall we. IMDB, which I’ve long considered the film info bible, has two entries for The Houses October Built. One is listed as a 2011 film and one a 2014 film. Both have the same stars, director, writers, and whatnot. 2011 has an additional … More The Houses October Built (2014?)- REVIEW
After reading The Wolfman’s awesome list of Netflix horror picks, I decided to make a point of watching the two films that I hadn’t seen yet – Honeymoon and The Houses October Built. I may not trust him personally (why’s he always hiding his face?), but I do trust that guy’s film recs. I watched … More Honeymoon (2014) – REVIEW
The Rasmussen Brothers, Michael and Shawn, are best known for writing John Carpenter’s The Ward – a film that has been collecting virtual dust in my Netflix queue for a very long time. (I’ll get around to it…eventually.) Descriptions for The Ward mention a ghost. Apparently, ghost stories are the Rasmussen’s forte (which, I’m told … More REVIEW – The Inhabitants (2015)
Simon Barrett and Adam Wingard are the creative team behind some great genre offerings from the past couple of years. Their segment in The ABCs of Death was super fun. I can apply the same phrase to You’re Next and add that it was also intensely thrilling. The same can also be said of The … More The Guest (2014) – REVIEW
Ritual is a relationship drama tucked into a occult sacrifice horror/thriller. Its director, Mickey Keating, has become something of a horror media darling (nailed it!) since the premiere of his film, Darling, at Fantastic Fest 2015. This earlier film offers a glimpse into the talent that would go on to make Darling (which, I have … More Ritual (2013) – REVIEW
Rec 4: Apocalypse further builds upon the story of a strange zombie-like outbreak in Spain that started in a small apartment building (see: Rec 1: The Rec-koning and Rec 2: Call the Pope) and fucked up a wedding (Rec 3: The Wedding One). (I made those names up, but you probably thought they were legit. … More REVIEW – Rec 4: Apocalypse (2014)
