Fist of Jesus (2012) – By Baron Craze

This is a 15-minute short film I found on YouTube and also saw at the Horror Happenings Film Festival back 2014, it’s a Spanish gore film from Adrián Cardona and David Muñoz, which has since earned 76-awards for their relatively unknown flick. It clearly delivers a vast amount of gore, blood and laughs; a parody…


Snuff: A Documentary about Killing on Cinema (2008) – By Baron Craze

Director Paul Von Stoetzel’s documentary analyzes the history behind the snuff film myth and tries to discover if there’s any reality behind it and in addition compares the relationships between war and serial killers to the snuff legends. His film does not directly answer the notion of the existence but rather provides a springboard for…


The Sinful Dwarf (1973) – By Baron Craze

Severin Films brought a bit of controversy to themselves by releasing the Blu-Ray version of the most exploitative movie, to some, that actually has sexploitation and dwarfploitation attached to the legendary status of this flick, which brings claims that are more outrageous and offenses with each passing year, and yet garnishes more viewers from the…


Infliction (2014) – By Baron Craze

In 2011, two brothers documented their murder spree in North Carolina, this is the actual assembled footage is the premise of director and writer Jack Thomas Smith’s newest film, that some deem as a found footage film, others as a horror film, though I believe it is a moralistic psychological dramatic movie.

Murder Set Pieces (2004) – By Baron Craze

Director and writer Nick Palumbo, known for his film Nutbag (2000) wore almost all the hats on the production of this film, which continues to grow as a cult film even 15 years after its initial release on December 24, 2004 in Hollywood, CA. This film, graphic in nature, tells the tale of a so-called…


Zombie (1979) – By Baron Craze

When it comes to discussing zombie films, just using the right terminology can cause an uproar, are they living dead, undead, virus created, or just zombies, however the debate goes further when it comes to George Romero’s creation of the dead slow motion to that of speed demon quickness. Then mix that with Lucio Fulci’s…


Hold That Ghost (1941) – By Baron Craze

First, a lot of criticism has befallen this film, perhaps most is unjustified, one must recall the time and place this movie enters into the cinema, and their films that proceeded it, namely Buck Privates and In the Navy, two war-comedy films, used to recruit and sell war bonds. In addition, the usage of musical…


Dracula’s Daughter (1936) – By Baron Craze

Dracula’s Daughter, director Lambert Hillyer went to wonderful great lengths to duplicate the look and feel of the original film, likely since it was very successful, and his customary genre had very little to do with horror as it was western films. Thereby using Universal Picture’s rights to Bram Stoker’s story, “Dracula’s Guest” as the…
