“All of the darkness looks alive.” A Review Rodney Ascher’s “The Nightmare” Documentary.

While the idea of watching a documentary about sleep paralysis doesn’t seem that thrilling, Rodney Ascher has the ability to capture each sufferers moment of horror and somehow bring it to life for the viewer in his newest film,“The Nightmare.” Now, horror documentaries have a tendency to turn into mocumentaries, often spoofing classic horror films, however, this is not the case. “The Nightmare,” concentrates on 8 separate individuals, men and woman from all walks of life, all across the globe, who suffer from similar episodes of phenomenon known as sleep paralysis. While most modern day horror films are pure movie magic, these are REAL subjects, these are their REAL lives, REAL encounters, REAL experiences. Each interviewee shares multiple episodes throughout the film and while the victim is sharing their story, the film cuts back and forth to reenactments. These reenactments themselves are terrifying, and it is very clear form the first episode that Ascher does not want you to feel

A review of Terror Films “Trace”

Terror Films presents “Trace,” a supernatural thriller that follows a group of friends experimenting with a specific type of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). After trying to make contact with a sprite at a party, the friends get a lot more than they bargained for… Soon the friends realize that they have opened a door to a realm that the living were never meant to see. Now, they are in a race against time to destroy the transmission in order to save themselves and prevent a demon from entering our world. ‘Trace” stars Nick Fink, August Roads, Jesse Pepe, Samantha Lee, Maddie McGuire, Jerod Meagher, Jeremiah Benjamin, Mike Capozzi and Herion Mustafaraj, and the cast is great! From the first time we see the large group of friends, we instantly get a sense of who these characters are simply by their “look” and attitude. With that said, the main cast is so large, it was sometimes confusing at times to concentrate

Eli Roth’s Psychosexual Thriller, “Knock Knock”

It has been over seven years since the world has seen a directorial feature from horror director Eli Roth… However, in 2015 Roth released TWO, yes TWO, feature length films, “The Green Inferno” and “Knock Knock.” This review is about the later of the two. “Knock Knock” centers around a devoted husband, Evan Webber, played by Keanu Reeves, who just so happens to be home alone when two beautiful young woman unexpectedly show up on his doorstep. What sounds like a relaxing weekend for Evan, turns into a nightmare pretty quickly. Even though Reeves has some lackluster moments, I will say that pacing is beautiful and not once in the film are you kept waiting. Just 15 minutes into the film and we have already met the two leading ladies. Of all the modern day directors to use digital cinematography, Roth has somehow mastered it. He uses colors to play off emotion and drive the story forward… The lighting and

The Walking Dead May Be Getting Its Own Theme Park Attraction

The Sally Corporation revealed “The Walking Dead: Battle for Survival’, a potential theme park attraction at the International Association of Amusements Parks and Attractions convention, in hopes of finding an interested party. According to the convention the ride would be “…mixed media ride featuring familiar settings and characters from the TV show using a combination of live animations and effects with projections.” Studios like Universal are capitalizing on the popularity of shows and movies and building theme parks, like the new ‘The Hunger Games’ park being built in Georgia, and who can blame them? Studios would have to be crazy not to jump on ‘The Walking Dead’ band-wagon, with it being one of the highest ranking shows on TV. A video clip from the convention that gives us a look at the type of animatronics we could expect to see.
