DOA Review: 5-Headed Shark Attack (2017) – By Baron Craze

Well this month, and the 30th Anniversary of Shark Week, felt it was only proper to venture down to the coast that borders one side of the DOA graveyard, to the other side there’s swamp, however not going to tell what else surrounds these wretched grounds. Hence I located another hideous creation, masking itself with…


Escape From Cannibal Farm (2017) – By Baron Craze

This film from director and writer Charlie Steeds is clearly influenced by the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, earning release on Video on Demand via High Octane Pictures, and thanks to Dark Temple Motion Pictures production isn’t overly reliant on gore, but delivers on some low-level thrills while attempting not to foreshadow too much.  Steeds shows…


The Devil’s Well (2017) – By Baron Craze

An interesting spin in the crowded found footage movies, this time embarking on the tale of visiting a supposedly haunted basement in an abandoned building, okay not an original location, they can’t all be Eastern State Penitentiary. However, writer and director Kurtis Spieler (Sheep Skin [2013]) delves into a paranormal and Satanism, and actually contains…


Heidi (2014) – By Baron Craze

A low budgeted offering of a creepy doll named Heidi as one already knows it’s a vindictive and thoroughly possessed doll, but not in the sense of Chucky, rather more guarded and eager to inflict harm than just wanting to play. This is a found footage horror film produced by Neon Mirage, written and directed by…


DOA Review: Platoon of the Dead (2009) – By Baron Craze

CASE NUMBER: #108 Once more, venture down the overgrown path into the land of DOA, where wretched discoveries await, the movies so dreadful that even the rescue squads couldn’t aid in recovery. This month’s its Platoon of the Dead written and directed by John Bowker (the last movie he directed) , a low-budget zombie film, which forgot…


VooDoo (2017) – By Baron Craze

While I did review this film as a screener in April of 2017 for Rogue Cinema, it now has accomplished an official DVD from Wild Eye Releasing, with new artwork, featuring the common body manipulations of demonic themed creatures. In addition, it’s available on various VOD carriers such as Amazon Prime, hence I decided against…


The Jurassic Games (2018) – By Baron Craze

Sometimes knowing and expecting what a film is, makes it a tad more enjoyable, and hence The Jurassic Games, a campy B-movie, the filmmakers know it too, and never excels past that standpoint, yet strives to entertain. While it hints clearly from other sci-fi flicks, Wedlock (1991) which starred Rutger Hauer or Fortress (1992) from director…


Island Zero (2018) – By Baron Craze

Well-known for her Rizzoli & Isles series of novels (then television series), Tess Gerritsen (retired medical doctor) knows how to make people’s spines tingle lives in Maine, a state where the King of horror novels Stephen exists. In 1993, she wrote a screenplay for a thriller entitled Adrift, and taking that first step into the horror realm…


Vidar the Vampire (2017) – By Baron Craze

Usually, vampires are seductive, excluding the glitter ones, or they go the other extreme as bloodthirsty monsters, either case the monster stars in countless creations in horror cinema, now from directors and writers  Thomas Aske Berg and Fredrik Waldeland who make their debut with their offensive version. First, this is a Norwegian film (formal title…


Clowntergeist (2017) – By Baron Craze

First, don’t expect this film to match the level of Andy Muschietti’s It movie, besides the are different realms of financial backing, this movie, from writer and director Aaron Mirtes serves as his debut feature film, and leans clearly to low-budget horror while generating a few scares. This doesn’t mean Aaron is without merit, he’s…
