Blood of the Vampire (1958) – By Baron Craze

In the vast horror cinema, there’re likely over 30-subgenres with films crisscrossing and crossover these genres, however there are two that often find themselves overlooked primarily due to their obscurity; namely those are lost films, such as The Redeemer: Son of Satan [1978] and Anglo-horror. The second named group might seem very foreign to many,…


The Boonies (2021) – By Baron Craze

Often filmmakers will pay homage to the films that inspirated them to venture into filmmaking, or to give a nod to another artist, but it’s truly a fine and delicate line between the realms between this and blatantly ripping films in general, and sadly this falls flatly into the latter grouping. Director Lance Parkin who…

Kirksdale (2007) – By Baron Craze

Stumbling across this movie again, I looked up previous reviews and notice one thing – so many dead links, and while it is common, it’s tad alarming, therefore why not take the time to venture back and show some care for this flick. I recalled seeing this movie at the Terror Film Festival (now defunct)…
