Rabid (2019) – By Baron Craze

As many readers recall my views on remakes are often negative, however one should clarify this a bit, if you tell the same story without any variation then its dull Psycho [1998] and an uninviting viewing of The Wicker Man [2006], but if one takes the time to change many aspects then a new story…


The Haunting (1999) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (AKA 3C)

Baron is always talking about the original movie The Haunting from 1963 and that the remake doesn’t live up to the original so when I saw it EPIX I thought I would watch and review it. The movie came out in theaters in 1999 from DreamWorks based off Shirley Jackson’s novel and was directed by…


Wrong Turn (2021) – By Baron Craze

When you sit down to view this latest installment from the Wrong Turn franchise, expecting mutant hillbillies, then you are sadly mistaken, I was a little disappointed, but then I looked upon it in the same vein as Halloween III: Season of the Witch, how so, allow me a moment to explain.

Remaking Horror by James Francis, Jr. Book Review – By Baron Craze

Before I embark on this review, it needs to be stated a misconception regarding my views on remakes, I don’t dislike, I just don’t agree doing them on stellar movies or well-known ones in the industry.

The Sand (2015) – By Baron Craze

Their story provides first time director Isaac Gabaeff…

Day of the Dead: Bloodline (2018) – By Baron Craze

When this movie started making the rounds with critics, reviews in advance found themselves barred or privately listed, the interviews welcomed, and finding a positive remark equal to finding a pin in pile of sewing needles, and so soon after Romero’s demise. As horror fans know some movies absolutely do not need to be done…
