MAN FINDS TAPE movie review | ©2025 Magnet Releasing

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Kelsey Pribilski, William Magnusson, John Gholson, Brian Villalobos, Nell Kessler Writers: Peter Hall & Paul Gandersman Directors: Peter Hall & Paul Gandersman Distributor: Magnet Releasing Release Date: December 5, 2025 MAN FINDS TAPE is a tale of literally knockout found footage – as in, the tapes sometimes render viewers suddenly unconscious. Written and directed by Peter Hall & Paul Gandersman, MAN FINDS TAPE is a fairly lively mix of horror subgenres: the one indicated in the title, a seemingly cozy small town with dark secrets, and another that adds a welcome spark of amusing insanity to […]Read On »

HOUSE ON EDEN movie poster | ©2025 RLJE Films

Rating: R Stars: Kris Collins, Celina Myers, Jason-Christopher Mayer, Barb Thomas Writer: Kris Collins Director: Kris Collins Distributor: RLJE Films/Shudder Release Date: July 25, 2025 THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was released approximately twenty-six years ago. Since then, there have been many (to put it mildly) other films inspired by or, indeed, imitative of its style and/or substance. HOUSE ON EDEN is one of the latest to follow in BLAIR’s ultra-low-budget, faux documentary footsteps. The irony here is that writer/director Kris Collins has come up with a fundamental mythology that’s intriguing but might have been better served by a regular narrative […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Lauren Carlin, Steven Entienne, Rotisha Geter, Tara Rule, Hank Santos, Sabrina Aiezza, Xavier Aiezza, Zack Carpinello Writer: Jenni Farley Director: Jenni Farley Distributor: Cineverse Release Date: November 12, 2024 (digital, VOD) DEVON was shot at Spring City’s Pennhurst Asylum, originally (per Wikipedia) an institution known as the Eastern Pennsylvania State Institution for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic. It opened in 1918 and was closed in 1987. Mistreatment of patients resulted in the legal Pennhurst Doctrine. These days, in reality, the establishment is used for “haunted house” tours and, in the case of DEVON, as the setting for […]Read On »

Dahlsbakken Director: Henrik M. Dahlsbakken Distributor: Dark Star Pictures Release Date: November 3, 2023 Making movies about making movies is a tricky proposition. Examples of the highs that can be reached when this is done right include THIS IS SPINAL TAP and THE FABELMANS. Examples of what happens when such highs are not reached include PROJECT Z (PROSJECT Z). To be clear, PROJECT Z is far from […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Bridget Rose Perrotta, Destiny Brown, James Liddell, Gideon Berger, Cayla Berejikian, Victoria Andrunik, Darren F. Earl II, Searra Sawka Writer: Stephen Cognetti Director: Stephen Cognetti Distributor: Shudder/Terror Releasing Release Date: October 31, 2023 HELL HOUSE LLC ORIGINS: THE CARMICHAEL MANOR is the fourth film in writer/director Stephen Cognetti’s found-footage horror HELL HOUSE franchise. For those (like this reviewer) coming into a HELL HOUSE for the first time (excluding the unrelated 1972 THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE), there are enough references to previous entries to suggest we’re missing some plot points. The good news is that CARMICHAEL […]Read On »

Not to put too fine a point on it, but HORROR IN THE FOREST is a variation on THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, which doesn’t stray too far from the path […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE OUTWATERS

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Angela Basolis, Robbie Banfitch, Scott Schamell, Michelle May, Leslie Ann Banfitch Writer: Robbie Banfitch Director: Robbie Banfitch Distributor: Cinedigm Release Date: February 9, 2023 On the plus side, THE OUTWATERS is a celebration of the natural beauty of California’s deserts and hills. It has good cinematography by director/writer/actor Robbie Banfitch, and a solid folk-rock score. THE OUTWATERS begins with a frantic 911 call that abruptly cuts off. Title cards tell us that Mojave Desert police found camera memory cards on February 22, 2022, of footage evidently recorded in 2017. We then see the footage. Musician Scott […]Read On »

Movie Review: MISTER CREEP

MISTER CREEP movie poster | ©2022 Silent Raven Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Amber Solis, Ali Alkhafaji, Shaela Payne, Brian Anderson, Judy McMillan, Marvin Ritchie, Thomas Burke Writer: Isaac Rodriguez Director: Isaac Rodriguez Distributor: Silent Raven Films Release Date: December 5, 2022 On one hand, MISTER CREEP doesn’t do much to stand out from the found-footage horror pack. On the other hand, the movie fulfills its mandate to be traditional horror on a tight budget, with characters who have understandable motives for putting themselves in dangerous situations, and enough weirdness to hold our attention for its contained sixty-seven-minute running time. MISTER CREEP begins with a videotaped interrogation session between […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Brandy Schaefer, Zack Andrews, Bobby Roe, Mikey Roe, Jeff Larson Writers: Zack Andrews & Bobby Roe Director: Bobby Roe Distributor: RLJ Entertainment Release Date (theatrical and on demand): September 22, 2017  The original THE HOUSES OCTOBER BUILT, released three years ago, was a modest but solid found-footage horror movie. Its premise was that five friends – Bobby Roe (who directed and co-wrote the script), Zack Andrews (also a writer on the film), Brandy Schaefer, Mikey Roe and Jeff Larson – set off during Halloween season to find and document extreme haunted house events. Since this is a […]Read On »

Movie Review: INNER DEMONS

Rating: R Stars: Lara Vosburgh, Morgan McClellan, Kate Whitney, Brian Flaherty, Colleen McGrann, Christopher Parker, Ashley Sutton, Susan Ateh, Richard Wilkinson Writer: Glenn Gers Director: Seth Grossman Distributor: IFC Midnight Release Date: October 3, 2014 While INNER DEMONS isn’t particularly innovative, it is at least a lot more coherent and thought-out than many in the found-footage horror genre. The acting is good, the progression works, and while the premise has been done before – is the main character addicted, psychotic or actually possessed? – it is handled here with verisimilitude. The premise is that a reality TV show called “Step […]Read On »
