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…


The Forest of the Lost Souls (2017) – By Baron Craze

An excerpt of a suicide note is how The Forest of the Lost Souls starts, from first feature director and writer José Pedro Lopes (World of Death [2016]), with his Portuguese flick done in black and white. This arthouse horror drama gives deep penetrating drama, depressive however, this movie simmers slowly, with a limited cast, as it…


Along Came the Devil (2018) – By Baron Craze

Before I begin this review, allow a moment to understand the concepts of both Religious Horror and Occult stories, both exist and have rightfully places in the horror genre, often enough the occult tales find themselves under the religious and yet crossing over into paranormal films. However, when mixing (demonic) possession movies, many times the…
