I had been curious about seeing 2013’s WNUF Halloween Special for ages, especially after it kept turning up on “best Halloween movie” lists around the internet. Since it’s almost Halloween, and since Shudder recently added it to their platform, I figured now was as good a time as any. WNUF is one of those movies … More Movies: WNUF Halloween Special (2013)
Not too long ago, I did a massive mega-review of all five of the found-footage V/H/S films, which varied in quality but were mostly pretty solid (other than Viral, which I didn’t like much at all). Although I’m not the world’s biggest fan of found-footage horror in general, I was intrigued enough by the series … More Movies: V/H/S/85 (2023)
I know, I know. For someone who claims to not care all that much for found footage movies, I do seem to talk about them more than this seeming disinterest would warrant. But one thing I am very interested in is horror history and innovation, so it was simply a matter of time before I … More Movies: The Last Broadcast (1998)
I think I’ve written before about my ambivalence toward most found footage movies, so for the life of me I can’t remember why exactly I had this particular film on my radar for review, and why I placed it on my schedule. It was probably because A) someone recommended it; B) it was about the … More Movies: Devil’s Pass (2013)
In my recent discussion of the V/H/S series of films, I admitted that I wasn’t the biggest fan of found footage, but did concede that there were several examples of the subgenre that I quite enjoyed, including the one we’re discussing today, which I saw years ago but somehow never got around to reviewing. The … More Movies: [•REC] (2007)
In my recent mega-post discussing the V/H/S movie franchise, I mentioned that found footage horror wasn’t usually my go-to subgenre, though of course I listed many examples of it that I did actually really enjoy. Interestingly, right around the same time as I was planning the V/H/S video, a friend of mine in New York … More Books: Found: An Anthology of Found Footage Horror Stories by Various Authors
I will admit right up front that I’m usually not the world’s biggest fan of found footage movies. There have, of course, been several exceptions to that general opinion—Cannibal Holocaust, The Blair Witch Project, Creep and Creep 2, [REC], The Poughkeepsie Tapes, Troll Hunter, As Above So Below, One Cut of the Dead—but honestly, if … More Breaking Down All the V/H/S Movies
I had been itching to get around to seeing Ghostwatch for ages, since I had long noticed it on so many “Best Haunted House Movie” lists and since I had heard a little bit about the uproar it caused when it was aired. If you don’t know, Ghostwatch was broadcast by the BBC on Halloween night 1992, and it … More Movies: Ghostwatch (1992)
