     I review everything as long as it's horror.  Hell, I review some things that isn't horror just because it caught my eye but horror will always be my go to genre.  I love so many sub-genres of horror and can pretty much name several movies from each that I truly love and admire.  However, some of the sub-genres are not always fun for me to explore.  One that I don't really care for is the found footage/mockumentary style films.  There is a few that I dig but most of these films are not that entertaining.  Their dedication to authenticity makes it difficult for me to finish most of these films.  Several weeks back I was asked to check out J.M. Stelly's Within Madness: Chapter 1 - The Sacrament of Bondage.  I had reviewed several of Stelly's films previously and decided to check it out but didn't realize it was one of these types of films until I was already deep into it.  Regardless, I want to thank J.M. for sending this one over.
     The film follows two serial killers, one is a filmmaker and the other a sadistic man just as demented as his partner, who are arrested for multiple murders. 
     I'm going to be honest about this one.  I was really excited to check this one out.  I liked the artwork and the poster that was sent over with this one.  It really had me curious and I couldn't wait to check it out but it was quick to show me that it was the kind of film that I typically stay clear of.  I'm not saying this is a bad film but I am being up front and honest when I say that this is the kind of movie that I will not watch willingly.  The acting in this one is uneven for me.  The whole interview/talking directly into the camera thing is extremely awkward to watch for me.  A lot of the performances are very underwhelming because of that fact but I got chills when Jared Bankens spoke.  God damn do we need a horror film with this man being unhinged.  The story for this one reminded me a lot of Amerikan Holokaust meets The Final Interview.  We follow a pair of serial killers who are caught where recordings, remains, and pictures are found connecting them to dozens of murders.  Honestly, I dig the story but I'm not really a fan of how it was told.  The interview and self-recorded aspect that the two killers reveal their heinous acts really turn me off to the film.  Realistically, I would have enjoyed this one a lot more if it unfolded like a typical horror film where we could watch the two do the acts instead of just talk about them.  I know a lot of genre fans that dig these style of films but it doesn't work for me.  Finally, we have some great make-up effects and some blood but it's not anything gruesome or as memorable as I would have liked.  We follow a film about two sick killers yet the deaths we do have are easily forgettable.  Overall, Within Madness: Chapter 1 - The Sacrament of Bondage is a fantastic idea but the execution just didn't do it for me.  I went into this one really excited and found myself wishing it was so much different.  It's not a bad a movie but it's not one I can get behind.  If it sounds like something you might enjoy then please, check it out.

     I always try to watch as many horror and Halloween centered films as I can during my annual October horror binge.  I prefer Halloween-centric kids movies like Double Double Toil and Trouble, The Midnight Hour, R.L. Stine's Pumpkinhead, and so on.  However, I'm always going to be a fan of horror and can't go an entire month without it.  Back before the month started I was contacted to review the film I See the Demon.  The title and poster really stirred my curiosity and I agreed to check it out.  In fact, I thought this would be a perfect addition to my October watch list.  
     The film follows Lucy (Zollicoffer) who returns home to find several friends, her husband, and her family's synth servant has planned a birthday party for her.  What should have been an unforgettable evening with friends turns sinister when she starts seeing the unexplained.  As she tries to figure out what is real and what is in her head, she learns that her life is not as it seems.
     I went into this one expecting a certain kind of film and what I found was a story that I was not expecting along with a cast of characters that I did not like.  My excitement for this one quickly dissipated and the film was difficult to finish.  I hate writing negative reviews for films sent my way but I have to be honest.  I seriously wanted to like this one but it was not for me.  The acting in this one is not bad.  I want to clearly state that before I dive into it.  The cast does a solid job with the roles they were given.  However, the characters are not written that well.  The cast doesn't have a lot to work with and I found myself wishing that if there was demons in the film then they would get ahold of most of these characters.  I did enjoy Zollicoffer's performance once the film picked up and her character is not as insufferable as the others.  The story for this one is a horror heavy sci-fi film centered around a woman who has been drugged and her memories rewritten by her piece of shit husband and the family synth.  This could have been a pretty solid sci-fi horror film if it really embodied the synth angle and explained more as to why this was happening.  Instead, the film is mostly watching a young woman have a mental breakdown as her pretentious friends talk about their bullshit lives.  The dialogue is very forced which makes the film feel longer than it actually is.  Finally, the film has a few moments that utilize lighting and fun camera tricks to make a scene chilling but those looking for a high body count and amazing effects will surely be disappointed.  Overall, I See the Demon could have been fun and even memorable if it would have embraced it's story while giving us some answers to the questions we have.  I seriously wanted to like it but it just wasn't for me.  I get where the title comes from but it is very misleading and disappointing especially if you dig religious horror.  It's very middle of the road and I can recommend at least a dozen other films I've reviewed this year that are more enjoyable than this one.

Rapture in Blue

     I've been on Instagram for sometime now and I've been fortunate to meet a lot of cool and talented people during my time there.  Many years ago I started following filmmaker, musician, and model Kacie Marie when I found a random horror post from her.  She has shared some seriously fun genre pictures since then and I know she is a huge fan of horror which is why I was not surprised at all when she reached out to me to review her horror short.  Someone as creative and passionate about the genre was bound to make a film eventually and I'm glad she allowed myself and Horror Society the opportunity to check out her short Rapture in Blue.  I'd like to take a moment to thank Kacie for sending this one over.
     As you may have noticed, I skipped the synopsis portion of this one because it would be damn near impossible for me to describe.  The short is truly an experimental film with some stunning visuals without a coherent story to be found.  At least, if you are as stupid as I am.  I did enjoy it but if it was much longer then I would have struggled to finish it.  The film has an extremely small cast and traditional acting is not really seen here.  We have some narration from underground director and actor Adam Ahlbrandt and Emmett O'Connor with the film's director Kacie Marie serving as the film's visual representation.  The film's soundtrack is also from Marie as well showing just how creative she truly is.  The story for this one is not one you can follow in a traditional sense.  However, the film uses beautiful imagery, lighting, and set design to pull the viewer it.  I'm sure there is something else to be said here but I'm just not intelligent enough to see it.  Finally, the film has a little blood as we near the short's conclusion but rabid gorehounds will be very disappointed at the film's lack of memorable deaths.  Overall, Rapture in Blue was a beautifully shot short that surprisingly held my attention.  While it may not be something that I can rewatch over and over without getting tired of it, I still enjoyed it for what it is.  I highly recommend it.

The Otherkind


Director - Mary C. Russell (Give Me an A, The One I Feed)
Starring - Marc Anthony Samuel (A Man on the Inside, The Merry Gentlemen), Rebekah Kennedy (That Damn Cat, V/H/S/Halloween), and Lestonja Diaz (Grunge, Play Dead)
Release Date - 2026
Genre - Horror
Format - Streaming (Online Screener)

Rating (out of 5):


     I truly never know what is going to show up for review.  I get such a wide range of films in my inbox.  I see no budget slashers, decent budget zombie flicks, theatrical pop horror releases, indie sci-fi, exploitation, and even sexploitation from some of my favorite boutique label.  Sometimes I will get something a bit different than your run of the mill cliched horror film that leaves me thinking about it days later.  Several weeks back I was asked to review the indie horror flick The Otherkind from director Mary C. Russell and starring Marc Anthony Samuel, Rebekah Kennedy, and Lestonja Diaz.  The title didn't really peak my interest but I did like the poster attached to the press release so I agreed to check it out.  I'm glad I did because I absolutely loved it.
     The film follows a small lakeside town where some of the locals begin acting lethargic before becoming extremely violent.  A cop trying to piece together his life after a tragic accident and a young woman trying to navigate her own path in world soon uncover that there is a woman in the lake and those that come in contact with the water become extremely violent.
     I went into this one blind which is my favorite way to review a movie.  I try to avoid spoilers and typically will skip reading the synopsis and watching the trailer if I plan on reviewing the film.  I really liked the poster for the film and knew I would be reviewing it eventually so I ignored most of the press release on purpose.  I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed this one.  The acting in this one is a bit uneven but it's not bad.  A good bit of the characters in this one a very unlikable.  The cast does a decent enough job with bringing these characters to life but several of them have horrible personalities which makes it damn near impossible to feel any sort of sympathy for.  With that being said, there was a few scenes where the dialogue deliver was extremely flat.  I don't know if it was from inexperience, lack of direction, or what but the dialogue just flies out of their mouth with zero conviction.  It doesn't make the acting bad but it does throw the tone of the film off a bit.  The story for this one really pulled me in.  It almost felt like a beautiful blend of Tommyknockers meets Mayhem.  I really enjoyed a new spin on the infected sub-genre without it being a zombie flick.  I would like to see more backstory about the woman in the lake and where she came from but it's fine just the way it is.  Finally, the film has some blood and light make-up effects but the kills are not that memorable.  The kills could have been a bit ore original but they do fit the film fairly well.  Overall, The Otherkind is a solid film that does something a little different.  The characters are difficult to like but I still had a lot of fun with it.  I highly recommend it.

Tagline - "It feeds on more than just fears"
Format - Bluray (Personal Collection) (Screener)

Rating (out of 5):


     Unearthed Films has made a name for themselves releasing some of the most brutal and violent horror films around.  Some of the most controversial genre releases are from Unearthed Films and owner Stephen Biro.  While I may not always like what they release, I respect the hell out of Stephen Biro and company for their dedication to depravity on film.  Sometime back I received a press release for the 2023 horror film Bakemono making it's blu debut from Unearthed Films.  I had never heard of this one before but the artwork really made my imagination work overtime.  I couldn't wait to see it and a few days later I received the blu release in the mail from my friends over at MVD.  I would like to thank Unearthed Films and MVD for sending this one over for review!
     The film follows an apartment, or airbnb, in Tokyo where several different people rent it looking for a cheap place to stay only to become victim to a horrible monster residing there.  
     I went into this one completely blind with my mind racing about everything that the poster had to offer and found myself a bit underwhelmed.  Don't get me wrong, it's a solid movie with some seriously insane practical effects but the story was lacking.  The acting in this one is solid but the characters don't really stand out.  The film doesn't give the cast a lot to work with in regards to creating characters.  The people we see are just fuel for the fire so to speak.  Everyone is meant to die so we don't have any characters that have memorable personalities.  I would have loved to see what the cast could really do instead of blending into the background.  The story for this one is is pretty fucking clever and makes good use of a modern trend but it does date itself by doing so.  A monster living in an apartment, or airbnb, and eating those that enter it reminded me a lot of the film Barbarian but this was made a few years before it.  I do like the idea and can appreciate the use of social media and technology in a horror film.  However, the movie is a bit repetitive and could easily be a short.  Finally, the film has some great effects.  The beast is the thing of nightmare and every death outdoes the last one.  The film really is a vehicle to get as much blood and gore out to the viewer and it succeeds here.  Overall, Bakemono is decent for a first time watch.  The kills really stand out but everything else is very underwhelming.  Fans of Unearthed and underground cinema will dig it but the everyday horror fan may become bored with this one.

Death O' Lantern 4: Summer Slaughter


Director - Chris Seaver (Mulva: Demon Ass Kicker, The Weirdsies)
Starring - Billy Garberina (Deathbone, Johnny Z), Marcus Robertson, and Mae Weeks
Release Date - 2026
Genre - Horror/Comedy
Tagline - "The fourth ghoulish movie in the neo-sexual trilogy"
Format - Streaming (Online Screener)

Rating (out of 5):


    I love having a new Chris Seaver film ready to watch during my October horror binge.  I've been a fan of his for sometime now and I try to sneak in a few of his films during my annual binge but it's not often that I have a new one to watching during my Halloween season.  A few months back he announced that he was selling copies of his newest film, Death O' Lantern 4: Summer Slaughter, on blu.  I reached out to him and he was kind enough to send over a link for me to review it.  I knew Halloween was fast approaching and decided to hold on until now.  I want to thank Chris for sending this one over for review.
     The film follows the descendant of Stingy Jack who accidentally ingests pumpkin spice.  She is highly allergic and violently shits in the yard before returning home to rest.  This pumpkin infused shit resurrects Stingy and he once again goes on a murderous rampage.  
     I went into this one knowing what to expect from a Seaver flick and was given exactly just that.  Fans of Seaver know that his films feature dialogue all their own while delivering crude humor and horror cliches.  I absolutely fucking love his movies and while DOL 4 was really fun, it doesn't stand out some of his other films.  The acting in this one is exactly what I expected from Seaver and his usually suspects.  The cast uses humor to cover inexperience and it works.  It's a lot of fun to watch especially with all the chemistry and fun they have on screen with each other.  The fun dialogue and energy makes these films so memorable in my opinion.  The story for this one is pretty much the same as the previous films.  However, I laughed for far too long at how Stingy Jack was resurrected.  I love Seaver's sense of humor which does cover up the fact we are getting the same story again.  Finally, the film features a killer in a cheap rubber mask and some fake blood.  The kills are not that memorable but they fit the film and offer up some more cheap laughs.  Overall, Death O' Lantern 4: Summer Slaughter doesn't really bring anything knew to the series but it still scratches that itch for a new Seavage flick.  I enjoyed it and highly recommend it to other fans of Seaver.  Check it out.

     Anthologies really excited me.  I grew up with what I would consider some of the best horror anthologies to ever exist.  Films like Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, From a Whisper to a Scream, And Twilight Zone: The Movie.  These are fantastic films with strong segments that do a phenomenal job bookending the film.  Several weeks ago I was asked to review the indie horror anthology Echoes from the Void from director Robert W. Filion.  Like I said, I love horror anthologies and quickly added this one to my October horror binge.  I want to thank Robert for sending this one over.
     The film follows a doctor who is sent to interview a prisoner.  He tells her that he is a self-proclaimed master storyteller but doesn't tell his stories to just anyone.  After a round of introductions he clarifies that they are now friends and can spin his craft for her.  The first story follows a young woman struggling mentally and kills several therapists before she is able to wrestle her demons.  The second story follows two men.  One is obsessed with a woman who was struck down sometime ago by a drunk driver.  The other is a man trying to reclaim his life after a drunk driving incident.  A little black magic brings the woman back where she kills the man who resurrected her because his obsession is the reason she was hit by the drunk driver.  The third tale is about an old man who is hiring a young woman to rob his elderly ex-wife but he doesn't reveal everything to her before she visits her home.  The final story is about two siblings on a getaway when their parents disappear.  Alone and low on supplies, they try to find out what happened to their parents but it's too late.
     I'm a bit more critical of horror anthologies than I am other sub-genres because they have so many chances to deliver between the wraparound segments and the shorts included.  Typically, if an indie horror anthology has a weak wraparound segment then it's a weak anthology but that's not always the case.  Echoes from the Void doesn't really deliver on the wraparound segment but still has some fun scattered throughout.  The acting in this one is great.  I really enjoyed the acting in the wraparound segment.  Jaysen Buterin and Amie Henry's performances are top notch.  They work so damn well together and I loved how their characters clashed on screen.  The other segments are solid for the most part but there was a few instances where the dialogue was a bit flat with little to no conviction behind the delivery.  The stories for this one are a bit inconsistent but I did enjoy some of them.  The wraparound segment may be the best acted segment but it's not that enjoyable from an anthology point of view.  An inmate telling stories is nothing new.  In fact, the telling stories angle has been done so many times before now with some of the classics like From a Whisper to a Scream, Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, and many more using it as a way to tie everything together.  As for the segments themselves, the first and last story are the weakest in the film with the second and third tale being phenomenal.  These two shorts made the film for me.  I don't want to go too deep into without giving stuff away but these two segments are absolutely phenomenal.  Finally, the film has a little blood and some light make-up effects but that is about the end of it.  We don't have the most graphic deaths and practical effects to enjoy.  The film clearly has a small budget and it looks like very little went into the kills.  Overall, Echoes from the Void may not be for everyone.  I stuck with it and found myself really enjoying it but there was a few moments where I questioned my decision.  Check it out if you dig anthologies and imaginative deaths are not your thing.

     I try to save some of the more interesting horror films sent to me for review during my annual October horror binge.  During the month I try to review all things horror and Halloween while trying not to review every movie I watch.  Some Octobers in the past I've been able to squeeze in close to 100 films and reviewing all these films is not feasible.  However, I try to work in some movies that I'm really looking forward to watching along with those that fit the Halloween aesthetics.  Back during the tail end of summer I was sent the 2025 horror thriller Hellcat for review.  This was a Shudder original release and I absolutely loved the artwork for it.  I knew it was getting released near that date but decided to hold off on the review until now.  Holy fuck, what a movie.
     The film follows a young woman who wakes up in a pull behind camper moving down the road when the driver tells her through the speakers that she was bitten by something and is infected.  She doesn't believe him and suspects that he is some sort of serial killer taking her to her final resting place.  We soon learn that she does show signs of being infected by something.  The driver is a conspiracy theorist who believes in the supernatural and thinks he knows of someone that help.  However, the radio show he put his faith in turns out to be a hoax forcing him to reconsider his plan.
     I went into Hellcat completely blind.  I knew this had nothing to do with Dodge or their cars but the title made me giggle a bit thinking about it.  Anyway, I went into this one completely blind and found myself fucking loving it.  It did take a little time to get going but once it does it delivers.  The acting in this one is great.  The cast is small but the performances are not.  Dakota Gorman carries the film.  She's solo for most of the film and does a wonderful job.  She goes through a wide range of emotions and everyone is genuine.  Todd Terry does a great job as well but he is only seen for a short time.  He does a great job at conveying emotion with just his voice and when he does make an appearance he nails it.  The supporting cast is great as well but these two do an amazing job.  The story for this one is not one that I saw coming and I love how the whole "twist" is literally handed to you on a silver platter at the beginning of the film.  The whole werewolf thing is nowhere to be found on the poster and unless Hellcat is another name for lycanthropy that I'm unfamiliar with, then this movie does a fantastic job at hiding it.  However, the movie itself is quick to tell you about it pretty early on but it is done is such a way that the viewer doesn't believe.  It even ends on a what if angle.  It's a brilliantly written movie that may just rub some horror hipsters the wrong way.  Finally, the film has some blood and some decent make-up effects but those wanting insane gore and memorable deaths will be very disappointed.  Overall, Hellcat is one of those films that I'm thinking about days later.  I don't think it would have the same impact on me if I revisited it anytime soon but I would love to revisit this one in a year or so.  I loved it and highly recommend it.

Video Vixen



Director - Victor Bonacore (Thrust, Amityville Aliens)
Starring - Erin Brown (Screaming Dead, Vampire Vixens), Allison Egan (Spookie Dookie, R.I.P.: Rest in Pieces), and Scott Gabbey (Gator Green, American Guinea Pigs: Bouquet of Guts and Gore)
Release Date - 2026
Genre - Horror
Tagline - "It's New Year's Eve in a small, influencer town... and everyone's 10 seconds of fame are up!"
Format - Streaming (Tubi)

Rating (Out of 5):


     I've been a fan of Victor Bonacore for sometime now and I've been really excited for his films after he started paring with indie film legend Erin Brown who made a name for herself under the moniker Misty Mundae.  I collected as many of her films as I could in my high school and college years and seeing her appear in these indie horror flicks in recent years has really made me appreciate her acting skills.  Several weeks ago I received a press release for his newest film Video Vixen and how it was premiering on Tubi.  I quickly added that my watch list to save for my annual October horror binge.
    The film follows content creator Kitty Video (Brown) who is known for making faux-snuff style fetish videos.  She lives in a small town that has recently seen an influx in content creators trying to make their mark on the internet.  Instead of getting lost in the sea of influencers, Kitty decides to start killing the competition and filming it for her sick audience.  
     I knew absolutely nothing about this one outside of the fact that it was directed by Bonacore and starred Brown.  The movie itself was not what I was expecting but I enjoyed it for a first time watch.  The acting in this one is every uneven.  Brown does a great job as the film's lead and so does the small role from director Bonacore.  They both deliver solid performances and carry the film for most of it's run time.  I also enjoyed Allison Egan's performance.  I think she's a phenomenal actor and hate that she's not appearing is as many films as he used to.  She's fantastic here and I really loved her character.  With that being said, a lot of the supporting cast is inexperienced and extremely stiff.  The dialogue is very flat with no emotion behind it whatsoever.  The story for this one is a fun idea that I could really get behind but it's a bit too repetitive to be a feature length film.  Maybe making it a short or switching it up and having the killer be unknown to the viewer would have made this one a bit more enjoyable.  Don't get me wrong, I really dig the idea of a fetish content creator killing influencers for views but after the second death I was ready to move on.  Finally, the film has several kills with some blood.  The deaths are quick and the effects work great for the kill but they are not that fun.  They don't really stick out or are that imaginative.  Some memorable deaths would have taken this one to the next level.  Overall, Video Vixen feels like it was possibly a rushed film from Bonacore and Brown.  His previous films are modern classics that deserve to be seen.  While I did enjoy this one, it just doesn't kick as hard as his previous films.  If this sounds like something you would want to see, be sure to check it out on Tubi.

Confessions of a Lunar Werewolf


Director - Alexis Ramirez (Hybrid Hazards, Fury Blade)
Starring - Courtney Jacoby (Evil Lives Here, Canvas of Death)
Release Date - 2023
Genre - Horror
Format - Streaming (YouTube)

Rating (out of 5):


     Honestly, I never know what is going to be sent my way for review but I'm always grateful for anything sent my way.  Several weeks ago I was sent an email about checking out the short Confessions of a Lunar Werewolf.  I love a werewolf flick and quickly agreed to check it out.  I couldn't get to it right away and decided to add it to my annual October horror binge where I watch as many horror movies as possible.  I want to thank Alexis Ramirez for reaching out!
    The film follows a young woman who undergoes a self-inflicted werewolf transformation.
     I went into this one expecting a little bit of werewolf mayhem and was not greeted with that at all.  The film runs for around 3 minutes so there is not a lot of time to get anything established and, sadly, has no real meat on the bone so to speak.  I seriously wanted to like it but it's over before anything happens.  The acting in this one is a bit stiff.  It's a one woman show with Courtney Jacoby looking extremely comfortable in front of the camera but her performance as a young woman undergoing a transformation is a but underwhelming.  The story for this one is very straight to the point and done effectively would have made great use of the 3 minute run time.  However, just watching a woman snarl with yellow eyes and fangs for 2 minutes is not that enjoyable.  Finally, the short doesn't have the best effects.  As I stated earlier, we get some yellow contacts and plastic teeth and that is the extent of it.  Anyone looking for a fun transformation will be a bit disappointed.  Overall, Confessions of a Lunar Werewolf is not something I could recommend.  It's not much of a confession and the werewolf doesn't show itself.  It's a cool idea but budget and ingenuity keep it from reaching it's potential.  Skip it.
