Blu-ray Review: Two Evil Eyes (1990)

Two Evil Eyes is an arcane anthology divided into two halves (it’s all there in the title folks), both directed by legendary horror directors (George A. Romero and Dario Argento for those keepin’ score at home) and based on the writing of Edgar Allan Poe (The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar and The Black Cat respectively). Let’s kick out the jams with Romero’s joint, shall we? Jessica Valdemar (Adrienne Barbeau) is what one would call “a reluctant shit-heel”; sure she’s conspiring with Dr. Robert Hoffman (Ramy Zada) to bilk her dying husband, Ernest (Bingo O’Malley) out of his vast fortune via hypnosis… but she doesn’t feel great about it, until the dough begins to be well in hand that is. As fate would have it, Ernest buys the farm, so Bob and Jess chuck his dead ass in a large freezer in the basement and carry on with the Devil’s business… which you’d imagine would go smoothly, but

Movie Review: Luz (2018)

Luz Carrara (Luana Velis) comes a-stumblin’ into a German police station, and over the course of an appropriately dark and stormy night we learn that there is something horribly wrong with L-dawg…perhaps Satanically so. Enter: Commissioner Bertillon (Nadja Stübiger) and her translator Olarte (Johannes Benecke) who decide to call in police psychiatrist Doctor Rossini (Jan Bluthardt) to make an attempt at solving the mystery of just why Luz is fucked up six ways to Sunday. Meanwhile more of Luz’s past is revealed by her former classmate Nora Vanderkurt (Julia Riedler), as she talks to none other than Rossini in a local watering hole…and that convo reveals the supernatural gift ol’ Luz is burdened with, some of which has been passed on to Nora who eventually ends up suckin’ face with the good Doc…which would be cool except for that glowing pie-hole and demonic possession bag. Will humanity survive this evil curse? Simply put; Luz is a rock solid throwback to

Short Film Review: Crybaby Bridge: A Louisiana Urban Legend (2019)

Down Louisiana way, two dudes, Lionel (Adrian Richard) and Derek (Zakery Jones) get a wild hair up their ass and head out to a supposedly cursed bridge in the middle of nowhere to conduct a lil’ paranormal investigation. Back in town at the local watering hole, the duo’s girlfriends, Imee (Anna Medley) and Corrie (Stephanie Wells) discuss the grizzly legend of the bridge before being interrupted by a stranger (Joey Alonzo) that knows all to well that the legends are in fact a horrifying reality. Our heroes are going to have one hell of a rough fuckin’ night… Crybaby Bridge is as solid a sinister short as your’s cruelly has ever seen! Writer (along with Joey Brana)/Director J.P. Willie delivers a fully realized mythology set in a world of personable, down home folks that are ill-equipped to withstand the sinister supernatural events they get involved in. Adding to the ambiance is cinematography that shifts depending on the mood; from slick

John Catapanpo Speaks Out About His Investigation With Ed And Lorraine Warren

Let’s be honest, everyone has heard the names Ed and Lorraine Warren, two of the most famous paranormal investigators to ever walk the earth. They are also the couple who have been the subject of The Conjuring franchise. But here’s something you may not know, on almost every single case they investigated they had assistants and techs to help them do their job, but we rarely hear from them. Last year I sat down with former journalist, professor, and entertainment engineer John Catapano for an interview, the first time he’s ever spoken out in detail about what he witnessed while investigating a particular house and family while working with the Warrens. While John was a student at William Paterson he had an invitation to assist the Warrens on the investigation, but instead, the couple left him to do much of the investigation on his own while they were busy with another case. While the names of the family and their

Short Film Review: Trick r’ Treat (2018)

Trick r’ Treat begins with a woman (Julie Landriault) finding a stack of missing children flyers on the windshield of her car. Later that night she receives a visit from some ghostly trick r’ treaters (Johnny Elston, Ricky Elston, and Daniel Elston) who may not be what they seem! Running a compact minute and thirty seconds (two minutes with credits), Trick r’ Treat is an effective lil’ supernatural shocker. Writer/Director Andrew J.D. Robinson presents the piece with an economy of storytelling, and with some fun cinematic touches. The first act is presented in stark black and white giving it a Night of the Living Dead vibe, while the second have is presented in warm colors…it’s well done and gives the two disparate acts a unique flavor. Also well done are the visuals for the trick r’ treaters themselves…simple sheets and a bit of make-up adds up to a palpable sense of menace from these terror tykes! Bottom line, Trick r’

Short Film Review: The Devil and I (2018)

In Colonial Canada, a woman (Ariel Hansen) with an uneasy lot in life takes some verbal tongue lashin’ from a real son of a bitch of a man (James Kingstone)…a son of a bitch that freezes into a human statue as a large talking dog appears (yeah, sometimes I can’t believe the shit I type for this website either…but trust me, this is actually handled in a completely serious and somber manner). Any way it seems our heroine has been having affair with the man’s wife, and before you can say Son of Sam(uel Adams), that preternatural pup (played by Apollo with voice provided by Jesse Inocalla) gives our protagonist a plan to make things go her way. With it’s unique, period setting and near-fairy tale vibe, The Devil and I is an entertaining slice of short fright flick deviltry. Adding to the overall vibe of the piece are authentic costumes and manners of speaking that reflect the film’s 1800’s

Movie Review: Paranormal Farm 2: Closer To The Truth (2018)

Last December I had the putrid pleasure of layin’ my eerie eyeballs on Paranormal Farm; a frightfully fantastic found footage flick done absolutely right (you can read my thoughts on that on right here). I was pleased as a preternatural pig wallowing in supernatural shit when I found out a second installment had been made, and without further ado, here’s my revoltin review of Paranormal Farm 2: Closer to the Truth! Filmmaker/Paranormal Investigator Carl Medland (in front of and behind the camera) is back again, and returns to the scene of the crime, such at is, to talk to the participants of the first endeavor about their opinions of the first film, and to check in on how life of the farm has carried on since his last visit…all to be included as special features on the impending DVD release of the first film. Once there, we learn that some of the events in the first film were a put
