The Black Demon (2023) – By Baron Craze

Chompfest 2023 It was inevitable that supersized sharks would devour the screens large and small, in fact as of August 2023 17-films feature this monster shark in the storyline, the worst was Jurassic Shark [2012] and closely behind Raiders of the Lost Shark [2015], but after The Meg [2018] the formula changed from centralized nature…


Blood Bite (2020) – By Baron Craze

Chompfest 2023 Here is the first entry into The Horror Times 2023 Chompfest, our version of Shark Week, but let’s say this fest lost its teeth and decided to keep everything very weak. In a time of the year where numerous shark movies begin surfacing and looking to exploit fears of swimmers and terrorize dynamic…


The Redeemer: Son of Satan! (1978) – By Baron Craze

This movie to some has been deemed lost however that is perhaps the incorrect terminology to use, it’s more of a forgotten and obscure film, with some vivid artwork, that most fans never knew of its existence, and while it’s a complete story there are many aspects that the ‘woke’ culture won’t like and some…


From a Whisper to a Scream (1987) – By Baron Craze

I feel anthology stories will always be a part of the horror genre for example one of the first was Dead of Night [1945], by the 60s the gain more popularity with such classics as Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors [1965] and Spirits Of the Dead [1968] a trend that extended into the 70s with…


What the Waters Left Behind: Scars (2022) – By Baron Craze

  Back in 2017, director Nicolas Onetti made his debut with a feature called What the Waters Left Behind spent in the aftermath of nature reclaiming the town Epecuén, Argentina through a massive flash flood in 1985, since the area has remained abandoned (appearing very apocalyptic) with parts still submerged; talk production values, the location speaks…


Blood Vessel (2019) – By Baron Craze

While this isn’t Justin Dix’s first time as director, that was the feature Crawlspace [2012] he primarily works with his career in special effects, hence is aware of the ebb and flow of a horror film, herein he’s venturing to a truly dark time in world history. This time it’s for an independent horror movie,…


Dead Heat (1988) – By Baron Craze

In the late 1980s a slew of ‘buddy cop movies’ flooded the marks among them Lethal Weapon (1987), Tango & Cash (1989), even a few with dogs such as Turner & Hooch or K-9 both from 1989, needless to say, it was a popular adventure, that involved comedic lines and plenty of action. All of…


Squeal (2008) – By Baron Craze

Tony Swansey’s directorial debut scores with an ominous looking cover art which harkens back early 80s, but sadly it’ll never graduate into a lasting mark in the landscape of THE low-budget horror genre. I recall seeing this film a long time ago, actually when it debuted on the fest circuit at the Terror Film Festival…


Death Spa (1988) – By Baron Craze

In horror cinema, there are plenty of subgenres, and some niche markets set within them, one of the most highly limited area deals with gym centers and make it their central theme is held by two movies Killer Workout [1987] and Death Spa. Though is equally true that other horror films do have a scene…


Croc! (2022) – By Baron Craze

I do enjoy environmental or nature attacks horror films as they can inflict more damage than one is accustomed to and there are few ways to combat it. There are some legendary films in the category The Birds [1963] or Jaws [1975] and plenty of fillers such as Grizzly [1976], Dogs [1976], Day of the…
