DVD Review: The Amityville Moon (2021)
Down Amityville way, professional fuck-up Detective Kimball (Trey McCurley) takes the “Light Duty Highway” and is assigned to investigate missing woman at a church-run rehabilitation facility for wayward women. While there he meets the rag-tag denizens of that haunted half-way house, including new girl Mandy (genre mainstay Augie Duke), who is having none of this dreaded domicile’s bullshit… bullshit that includes an escalating number of missing persons. Now, just who is responsible for these vanishing acts? Could it be low-key beard-meister Father Peter (David B. Meadows)? How about hissing pop-eyed Sister Ruth (A nightmare on Elm Street 4’s Tuesday Knight)? Maybe professional papal weird-o Father Michael (Michael Cervantes)? Well whoever the fuck it is, it’s a hundo-P guarantee they are a mother fuckin’ werewolf! Speaking of werewolves… you know what always gets me about these particular creature features, the big transformation scene.

Movie Review: “Lair” (A Night of Horror International Film Festival)
You’ll rarely find a character that you can’t wait to see get his as much as you will with paranormal researcher/exploiter Steven Caramore (Corey Johnson) in the U.K. feature Lair. As if being responsible for his business partner Ben’s (Oded Fehr) slaughtering of his wife and child, Caramore then sets up shop in a London apartment building, outfitting one flat with allegedly cursed objects while rigging up cameras in a neighboring one to watch what happens to an unsuspecting family in the first flat. The vacationing family in question brings their own personal demons into the mix — lots of arguing, bickering, bruised egos, and teen rebellion — and really they should have demanded a refund on their vacation rental as soon as Caramore told them — on their second day of the stay — that he placed a cursed doll in their flat, a toy to which little Lily (Lara Mount) took an instant liking. But Lily and her
