Mara (2018) – By Baron Craze

There are two schools of thought when making a directorial debut, either go with gusto, or play it relatively safe, of course it deals with the budgets, crew and content, hence no clear cut rules layout before the aspiring filmmaker. Herein is Clive Tonge, making usage of the nightmares in sleep as the main subject…


An Hour to Kill (2018) – By Baron Craze

Lately, in the horror genre, comes the interesting trend of increasing distribution of anthology themed films, and often not every story gets a grand slam, but Aaron K. Carter served as producer, director and writer, aided by Ronnie Jimenez as co-writer to create a series of stories along with a wrap-around story involving two hitmen….


Butterfly Kisses (2018) – By Baron Craze

First, this film contains no connection to director Rafael Kapelinski’s dramatic film of the same name released in 2017, rather as many others state, and I agree, is a documentary inside a documentary inside a documentary found footage horror film, which makes it hard to review without exposing many spoilers, therefore be forewarned it might…


The Toybox (2018) – By Baron Craze

Possession stories always find a special place with the horror fans, often enough it’s a house, cabin, or another type building, and then again, the vehicle in the horror flick, is just that, such as The Car [1977], The Hearse (1980), and Christine [1983]. Sometimes the tales do get cheesy for example Haunted Trailer (2014)…


Blood Child (2017) – By Baron Craze

Blood Child is a creepy horror film about loss, pain, and the supernatural real Southeast Asian rituals that involve the raising of ghost children, sounds fine, if one stops right there, however it doesn’t rather it adds the now tiresome phrasing ‘based on a true story’ oh please, whether it is or not, the words used…


Live Evil (2015) – By Baron Craze

First, this movie is not remake or reboot, and contains no connection to director Jay Woelfel’s movie of the same name released in 2009. In the land of low budget horror films, exists both the rotting corpses and those filled with ambition sometimes a tad too much but director and writer Ari Kirschenbaum (Fabled [2002]) presents…


Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) – By Baron Craze

This flick is not a direct reboot of the first movie from the Puppet Master Franchise, that originally started in 1989, rather it takes place in a parallel universe, where Andre Toulon, instead of an opposing force for the Nazis and the Third Reich is now shown as one them, and the puppets as a…


Hell’s Kitty (2018) – By Baron Craze

When one hears the phrase “microbudget” to describe a massive sigh comes washing over them, mainly because this film is a true passion driven creation and with Nicholas Tana no difference, as his film is a moving but strange trippy tribute to his pet cat. The flick comes from both an adaptation of a 17-episode…


Show Yourself (2016) – By Baron Craze

It’s often interesting what the independent filmmakers present on limited funding, but Billy Ray Brewton, serving as both writer and director, brings a crafty tale about sorrow and pain, wrapped inside of weird ghostly flick, while making sure to ground in personal self-examination of beliefs. Well perhaps the last part a bit of a reach…


Sleep No More (2018) – By Baron Craze

Director Phillip Guzman, known for Dead Awake (2016)  creates another sleep theme nightmarish tale set back in the 80s, originally entitled 200 Hours, rather than Sleep No More (which, sounds eerily similar the themes carried over from A Nightmare on Elm Street), released by RLJE Films. One aspect for not using the 200 Hours, likely…
