Movie Review: Death of a Vlogger (2019)

YouTube vlogger Graham (Graham Hughes, who also wrote and directed this putrid picture) is having a bit of a slump, as his ha-ha vids are pretty much tits up as far as his viewership is concerned. Lucky for him, he captures one of those paranormal events that are all the rage with blonde women between the ages of 23 and 47, and broadcasts it for all of the world to see! Graham continues to record his eerie existence, but while most vicious viewers eat this supernatural shit up with a sinister spoon, there are those that find Graham’s new material a lil’ bit hard to swallow and set off to prove that this new arcane approach is a load of bollox! Comprised of a heady blend of found footage and faux documentary, Death of a Vlogger presents the full spectrum of paranormal activity, to those that desire to debunk said events… and all points in-between, in a fantastically immersive bit

Movie Review: Immortal (2020)

What would you do if you found you were immortal? That’s the premise of the horror anthology Immortal. Featuring four segments directed by Tom Colley, Jon Dabach, Danny Isaac, and Rob Margolies, Immortal reveals twisted tales of people discovering that they can’t be killed. In the first segment, we meet a teacher (Dylan Baker) who lives a double life, during his day job as a teacher he’s kind, supportive, and caring. But after the last bell rings, he enjoys his hobby, hunting humans. He’s met his match with his latest victim (Lindsay Mushett), one of his students, who isn’t so easy to kill. This is my favorite segment. Dylan Baker never disappoints. Aside from the horror aspect, Baker delivers a ton of dark humor and an interesting character. This tale also features the most action. The next installment involves a man who is ready to die in a staged accident to guarantee that his wife and baby have a better

Short Film Review: #NotAllGhosts (2020)

A woman (Amy Ciupek) debates how to eject the toxic dude in her life which isn’t going to be easy considering he’s a rather nasty tempered, abusive, ghost! Filmed with the new Optical Radiance technology that makes film color look vintage without any post-production color correction (read more about the process right here), #NotAllGhosts looks like a million beastly bucks for sure, with bright, eye-popping color… but that isn’t all the visual splendor this bite-sized trip into our beloved horror biz has to offer! You know that ghoulish guest I mentioned up yonder? Well the visual representation of said spirit is a psychotronic fever dream involving, but not limited to, bubbles, possessed televisions, skeletons, smoke, and haunted photographs that reveal private details of how our heroine spends her down time. Speaking of said heroine, Amy Ciupek (who also starred in Distiller, which was directed by this film’s director Andy Schroeder) is pretty damn fantastic as our pseudo-fifties housewife character, and
