Once Bitten (1985) – By Baron Craze

Many cinema fans look to the IMDb website to discover who directed or wrote a script for a film, however often the real backstory is often an uncharted path for a flick to be conquered. Therefore, let’s sink some fangs into this unbelievable mess, first the original story was entitled ‘Nightlife,’ which led to writing…


Bats (1999) – By Baron Craze

When it comes to the subgenre of animal attack films there are plenty to examine and a few which are highly enjoyable, some of them have the ferocious beasts and others are so tiny they own the creepy ‘it’ factor to give one the heebie-jeebies. Every decade since the 60s has at least one and…


The Invitation (2022) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

I was asked to review two vampire movies for the month of October to celebrate Halloween, I’ve chosen this film as one of them. I first saw The Invitation with my husband when it came to theaters in August 2022 and now again on HBOMax. This film was directed by Jessica M. Thompson and screenplay…


Vampire Killers (2009) – By Baron Craze

Most screenwriters develop a story first and build from that starting with the title is a working one not the first, they don’t often attempt to make it define the plot. However, writers Stewart Williams and Paul Hupfield did that and the absurd commercial title that could have been so much more with a callback to the…


Cut (2000) – By Staff of The Horror Times

***Note to readers: When Baron had encountered medical issues, I the owner of this site thought why not have Baron dictate a review into a voice recorder and we’d type it up – easy. BIG MISTAKE! We will never ever do that again; cause Baron gave us all a huge headache and a constant nightmare….


Ozark Sharks (2016) – By Baron Craze

CHOMPFEST 2025 In 1916, an infamous series of attacks occurred in the riverbanks in New Jersey from a shark, the made for television movie Ozarks Sharks uses that story as inspiration for their film. This was a refreshing maneuver on behalf of the filmmakers, no parody of the locals or wacky shark tales just a…


Open Water (2003) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

CHOMPFEST 2025 My participation in this year’s Chompfest is probably one of the most boring shark movies called Open Water directed and written by Chris Kentis (Silent House [2011]) from Lionsgate. Of course when I think of shark movies I think of Jaws [1975] and nothing can compare to that film but you would think…


Shark Zone (2003) – By Baron Craze

CHOMPFEST 2025 First, Shark Zone is the unofficial fourth installment into the Shark Attack series; however, you do not need to have seen the previous movie which was about a megalodon, and this one is not traveling down that vein. Danny Lerner director and writer of the film, who interestingly went on to direct Raging…


Dinoshark (2010) – By Baron Craze

CHOMPFEST 2025 Roger Corman designed the title and premise of the storyline, after Syfy rejected a sequel for his movie Dinocroc [2004], as the channel thought audiences enjoyed original productions rather than seeing a part two; a decision they later flip-flopped on with future programming. The film is an over-the-top remake of Up from the…


The Nun (2018) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

The Nun is the 5th film in the Conjuring Universe and is considered a prequel to The Conjuring [2013] and The Conjuring 2 [2016]; the character of the Nun is introduced and used in the story of the second film so it’s understandable that the producers especially James Wan (Saw [2004]) would want to visit…
