Comedy in films often can be hit or miss with audiences however when it crosses over into another genre such as horror then it’s definitely dancing on a fine edge. While Blaine Thurier’s (Kicking Blood [2021]) feature creates some humor, mostly thanks to the cast, not all the comedy works effectively well, yet that doesn’t…
The Burning (1981) – By Baron Craze
Any true horror fan especially those that enjoy the beloved slasher subgenre, can name quite a few films that fall into this grouping, however one of the notorious few that didn’t become a franchise or even box office one-time hit is Tony Maylam’s The Burning, that’s even before its production garnished much attention in the…
Little Monsters (2019) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a film so I’d though I’d come back with Little Monsters from 2019; now this isn’t the one with Fred Savage, but a zombie film, rather I think a zombie comedy. I recently saw it on Hulu and enjoyed it very much; it stars Lupita Nyong’o (Us (2019))…
The Ghostmaker (2012) – By Baron Craze
Mauro Borrelli, who has worked in various positions on horror films such as illustrator on Dracula Untold (2014), takes the coveted director’s chair again for The Ghostmaker formerly known as Box of Shadows and co-wrote with Scott Svatos all for a tale involving a clockwork coffin designed to give time, only to collect in a…
7 Nights of Darkness (2011) – By Baron Craze
Allen Kellogg took on many roles for his first directing and written horror feature as a common trait for many independent filmmakers, and he stars in the film as the character Carter, with his creation lingering in the ghost genre, as well as dropping into the sub-genre of Found Footage. ***SPOILER ALERT*** “The film sets…
Watch Over Us (2015) – By Baron Craze
Supernatural horror films always remain a creative place for no to low budget productions to gain some traction in the market. Justified by looking at the first Paranormal Activity film, minimum money invested along bare elements of equipment, some inquisitive storyline, and luck, capture the creation of a new franchise. Hence ghost hunting in general…
The Plague of the Zombies (1966) – By Baron Craze
Hammer Film studios started to suffer from two major issues first the dullness of their stories and that lead to a lack of return on investments, which effected heavily trimmed budgets. However, a few skillful artists would deliver some strong performances and give fans a glimmer of gothic horror. Hence director John Gilling, who already…
Sanctuary; Quite a Conundrum (2012) – By Baron Craze
The director of Special Dead [2006] Thomas L. Phillips who also worked on the award-winning horror film Truth or Dare [2013] with director Jessica Cameron had some problems with his film, Sanctuary: Quite a Conundrum, which occurred in the earliest portion of the filmmaking process – the casting call. Thomas listed his film as a…
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…
