Movie Reviews

I have mentioned before that I am a big fan of found footage films. Jennifer Van Gesell’s Water Horse took me to another realm. A realm where found footage meets a dark back story. The style has been tried many times, but these movies are hit or miss. The style …

Kevin Lewis’s Misdirection lays down an obvious plot, or so you think. I don’t usually watch films with bank robbers or anything similar. If it isn’t horror or retro cartoons, I am not really tending to give it a chance. Misdirection has influenced me a bit to at least give …

Online dating is one of the more common ways for people to meet in modern times. With that parasocial presence comes a lot of uncertainty about the type of people that you’re liable to open yourself up to. That’s the story of Match, one of the newest Tubi Original horror …

Thor Moreno’s 2026 semi–found footage thriller Van Life presents a compelling premise that ultimately struggles to sustain its feature-length ambitions.

The story involves a group of miners who decide to throw their own Valentine’s …

Haunted attractions are my thing. I have been a scare actor for 6 years, and the movie hit a nostalgic spot. There aren’t really too many movies centered around the job I love, such as The Houses October Built or Haunt. They dare you to come witness the sights and …

The thing I loved the most about 80s horror films is that there were no rules. Writers could take their movie anywhere, even the horrible movies got attention. For some reason, today’s horror fans started way back in time, when there was a wild west feel. There were still icons, …
