By Melissa Antoinette Garza There was a time when people were less skeptical of the world around them. They were less cynical and believed more readily what they were told. Maybe, it was before 9/11 or prior to the 24-hour news networks creating topics to talk about and providing more […]

Happy Camp (2014) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Horror has been in this found footage holding pattern for some time. They are easier to make and take less thought than any other sort of film. Put a bunch of people together, make small talk, and then have the money shot. In HAPPY CAMP we have […]
Shallow Creek Cult (2012) – FOUND FOOTAGE HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I get a lot of submissions for review and the two most popular sub-genres are zombies and found footage and most of the time, they are terrible. Found footage is the most common and it is typically just an example of lazy filmmaking. You have an ad-libbed […]
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (2007) – Horror Movie Review
By Chris Summerfield Have you ever been woken by loud noises? Heard creaking doors, bumps and bangs, ruling it out as nothing more than an over active imagination or just perhaps denying you had heard anything, but have you ever had that creeping doubt that perhaps you are not alone, […]
The Last Exorcism Part 2 (2013) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Without question, there are so many classic horror productions that have spawned inferior sequels.

Hollow (2011) – Horror Movie Review

Grave Encounters (2011) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Traditionally, I am not a fan of found footage films. There are exceptions to the rule, but by now I think they are overdone and rarely good. The tales tend to be simple, the characters are undeveloped, and the plot-holes or unanswered questions are explained […]
Cloverfield (2008) – Found Footage Monster Horror Movie Review
By Geno McGahee “Whatever it is, it’s winning.” – Lead Officer (Scott Lawrence) When I was younger, I loved Godzilla movies. Watching the guy in the green suit walk around and destroy the miniature city was a lot of fun. In 1999, a great film came out called “The Blair […]

By Chris Summerfield While on my recent shopping trip to Nottingham, l popped in to the, “Save and Trade,” better known as, “CEX” and while hunting through the many titles they have in there I came across this movie, and what persuaded me to purchase it was the fact the […]
The Legend of the 5ive (2012) – BLAIR WITCH/LAST BROADCAST HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I am a very big fan of the original BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and THE LAST BROADCAST, two found footage flicks that came out in the late 1990s. Since then, there have been countless found footage films, with PARANORMAL ACTIVITY being the most notable recent entry. It can […]
