Since I liked co-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’s Heretic, I decided to check out their earlier effort, Haunt. I’d read mixed things about it and knew it was about a haunted house, but that’s about it. Since I am watching as much horror as possible this month, I figured it’s a good time to … More Haunt (2019) – REVIEW
My 21st film of the month is Sissy, a movie that I’ve had in my Shudder queue for what seems like ages. I’m pretty sure I put it in there because I saw some positive posts about it on social media. I don’t think I saw the trailer for this one. If I did, I … More Sissy (2022) – REVIEW
Jay Baruchel is perhaps best known as the affable friend to Seth Rogen in This is the End or the voice of Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon. But did you know that he directed a horror film called Random Acts of Violence? He did! And it’s my 11th (of 31) film of this … More Random Acts of Violence (2019) – REVIEW
(putting a SA trigger warning here just in case you need it) Number 3 of (hopefully) 31 for October of 2025 is Bystanders. Another movie that I knew nothing about. I found it in Tubi’s “Horror by Women” category. You’d think that category would be a wellspring, but it’s not. Several of the titles are … More Bystanders (2024) – REVIEW
When I saw the trailer for In a Violent Nature, the opening shots of a hulking brute with decayed skin, reminded me immediately of Jason Voorhees. I thought it was going to be a new F13. It’s not. But… it is certainly inspired by and/or an homage to those films. Before you get too excited … More In a Violent Nature (2024) – REVIEW
We’re almost 2 years into the US response to the coronavirus pandemic. Early on, I tweeted jokingly that we may as well get back to our blogs since, at the time, we were being asked to stay in our homes. We all had a good laugh about that (zero engagement/likes/retweets) and went back to doing … More Malignant (2021) – Review
My final, final review from the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival this year is for Tragedy Girls. It’s been fun and I hope to cover the fest next year. Let’s get into it, shall we? McKayla and Sadie are hellbent on building their social media brand by any means necessary. Their brand is murder and … More Tragedy Girls – REVIEW
Next up in my Fantasia Int’l Film Festival review series is Le Manoir. It’s French! So, it’s gotta be good, right? Let’s get into it, shall we? A group of teen archetypes (played by 30-year-olds) rents the titular mansion for a New Year’s Eve celebration. The place is old and creepy and in a … More Le Manoir (2017) – REVIEW
Here’s what I know about Dutch horror films – not much. Isn’t the guy who directed The Human Centipede (and its sequels) Dutch? Wait – does “Dutch” mean “from Holland”? Or is it Netherlander? Or Hollandaise? Yikes. I am not the global citizen I like to think I am. Suffice it to say, I’m … More The Windmill (2016) – REVIEW
If you’ve heard of Lake Nowhere, then you might be a bit surprised to see it here at NoRealDanger. “What are you doing reviewing a short film, idiot?!” you may be screaming at your screen. To that I say, “Whoa. Calm down. Take some deep breaths. Maybe have a cup of chamomile.” It’s true that … More REVIEW – Lake Nowhere (2015)
