This month will focus on found footage horror movies that hold up surprisingly well and deserve more recognition. I couldn’t think of a more better way to set the mood than with Creep(2014). A very unsettling film and really gets you to think of how psychopathic someone could be and you never would know it.

I heard a lot of chatter of how good and terrifying Talk to Me was. The directorial debut of Philippou Brothers had a strong box office opening as well. Both things enticed me to see what all the hype was about. I can fairly say that it deserves the accolades and to be talked about.

Oh, once again, we’ve returned to an infamous “Video Nasty” just for your (dis?)pleasure. Tonight’s offering is a hefty dose of necrophilia, depression, and bad romance. It’s coverage of these topics was so taboo that it was only released here in the United States (with an official release) in 2014. ‘Nekromantik’ tells the tragic love

A little while back I had heard a podcaster discussing his top 10 films of 2022, and among them he highly placed an independent festival film titled ‘Speak No Evil’. The podcaster was very vague with the details, but said that this film is “fucking evil.” He was not exaggerating . Two families – one

When the Found Footage craze was running on all cylinders, there were so many contributors that it was impossible to keep up. During a wave of the earlier part of those years, we received many different styles of found footage before they heavily relied on the supernatural for almost 80% of them all. But back

I went in blind and quickly figured out The Nanny(2022) was going to be one of those spooky visions predict the future sort of deal. But the way they went about it, you really have to feel bad for the titular nanny. The plot sees an immigrant woman who takes a nanny job to help
