Review: Halloween Party (2019)

By William Pattison

This time I’m reviewing a film about a Halloween meme that takes you to a website that will have you state your worst fear and brings it to you…

A college student unwittingly releases terrifying entities from her school's past via a Halloween themed computer meme.

Though this film ended up looking like a made for TV movie, I did enjoy the concept.

The meme and the website look very low tech with added some amusing charm. The low budget CGI was amusing as well.

I thoughtAmy Groening did a solid job as Grace, the computer geek who ends up seeing her friends dying because of the cursed program.

This film is not great but it is an ok popcorn film to watch in between the good stuff. All in all I give this film a firm rating of IT’S WATCHABLE, IF YOU GIT SOMETHING ELSE WITH IT… …

Review: Echoes of Dread (2026)

By William Pattison

This time I’m reviewing a Livecraftoan style invasion film.

When a digital creator unearths a cursed film buried for over a century, she unknowingly unleashes a nightmare that spreads through her audience. As her followers fall under its sinister influence, she must race to stop an ancient evil before it turns the internet into its hunting ground.

I have to admit I love a nice Love raftian horror film with all the nasty monsters and the world invasion stuff. This film is exactly that.

It is loaded with creative monsters and general creepiness. The monster designed were well executed. I especially like the little talking spider monsters and the big demon guy.

I loved the idea of the film footage that acts almost like a virus that brings the monsters. It worked really well for the storyline.

But in the end the one thing that didn’t really work for me was the two podcasters,Sama that and Rueben played by Michelle Principle and Austin Greene that were supposed to be a couple. There was just simply no chemestry to them. They did their jobs as main characters, but not as a couple. Sorry guys that’s a strike…

But all in all even with the lack in the main couple I highly recommend it because the Love raftian aspects in this film is a must see.

Though it lacks in the sexiness and romance, it is LOVECRAFTRIFFIC!!!

Eview: Other Mommy (2026)

By William Pattison

This time I’m reviewing a film about a little girl who is having to deal with a demon that appears in the guise of her mother.

Bela, an 8-year-old girl living in a home with marital problems, confronts a sinister entity which comes out of her closet. The presence, whom she calls "Other Mommy," becomes increasingly threatening to her and her family.

This film really had the potential to be an interesting combination of horror and fantasy. The problem is the resulting film is a bit of a mess that doesn’t make a lot of sense and actually lacks tension. The naudience don’t learn anything about the little girl, Bella, which is sadly played marvelously by eight year old actress Arabella Olivia Clark. Also essica Chastaine does a good job as Bella’s mother and Other Mother. The problem with this film is all the plot holes and lack of details for the viewer to actually understand the relationship between Bella and Other Mommy or even any idea of Other Mommy’s motives. Basically what and why things are happening.

The screenwriters dropped the ball on the writing and basic character motivation, which is important to the story.

So, with that saild, all in all I rate this film as a HOT MESS!!!!

Keep on creepin’,

Review: An American Terror (2014)

3virew; An American Terror (2014)

By William Pattison

This time I got a morality urban horror story about friends that want to show it to the socials at their school dance.

A group of friends hatch a plan to get revenge on the bullies who have been tormenting them. In doing so, they stumble upon an underground torture chamber filled with unspeakable horrors. Trapped by a madman, they are used to fulfill his demented, bloody fantasies one at a time. Their only hope for survival is to fight back and find a way to escape the killer's bloody grip.

I love films like this that include societal commentary and the horror of what happens when people push other people too hard.

This film tells the.story of Josh And Sammy, played byGramm Edmonds andTaylor Hulet. It is the part of Josh that really makes the film because he starts going through a redemption arch and actually become an unwilling hero when he has to protect a social girl namedYadha who is played by Louise McDonald, he and Sammy kidnap and take to their sadistic “mentor” The Plague Doctor, brilliantly creepy by Brian Thompson.

But it is when Josh turns on Sammy and the Plague Doctor that this film actually gets good. Sammy decides that he is still going to earn glory by poison gassing all the socials and school official at the dance. This is when Josh must either talk Sammy out of doing his suicide mission pr stop him anyway he can.

This film is excellently done because in fact there aren’t any innocent people in the story. They are all tainted and guilty, including Josh and Tasha.

The director was a real fan of Rob Zombie’s Firefly Trilogy and wanted to make this film more realistic with characters that weren’t either good or evil because real people are a bit of both. I say he was successful in this and this film NSDTY GOOD!!!

Review:Whale Fall (2026)

By William Pattison

This time I got a Jonah and the Whale style tale about a suba diver who gets swallowed by a whale…

Whalefall (2026)

Follows a scuba diver who, while looking for his father's remains, is swallowed by an 80-foot, 60-ton sperm whale and has just one hour to get out before his oxygen runs out.

This was a really freaky family drama about a father and son. And the whale who swallowed them… I kid you not.

The majority of this film takes place in a whale’s stomach, well along with a lot of flashbacks to the relationship with father and son.

The son because he is being restricted oxygen at times and dealing with dangerous pressure changes keeps hearing his father talking to him and trying to advise him on how to get out. It is really psychological and creepy.

I’m not sure how accurate the whale inside set is but it was impressive and was done with mostly practical FX.

I thought the entire cast did a good job.

This is a freaky movie that when it comes out on streaming you could watch with Orca and Killer Whale.

Allinall I can honestly give this film a rating of FREAKTACULAR!!!!

Review: Camp Cold Brook (2018)

By William Pattison .

This time I got a tale of a family of paranormal investigators who are investigating a haunted summer camp with a body count,band it is not Crystal Lake…

A paranormal team sets to check out an abandoned summer camp where a mass murder had taken place decades previous.

This is a royally creepy haunted Ghost camp film.

I love the atmosphere and how you are always on the edge waiting for a ghost child to attack, and the come from every direction. I like the paranormal crew, they really felt like a family.Chad Michael Hurlley plays Jack.Daniel Harris plays Angela.Mikey Reid plays Kevin.Candice Dee Frissa plays Emma. Plays Gains as John Beirweitz. And, finally Mary Katheryn Bryant as Anise Bernataue.

All in all this film has good atmosphere, great performances, and freaky ghost action. I rate this film as AWESOMETACULAR!!!

Review: Nightshade (2022)

By William Pattison

When a homicide detective's disturbing dreams reveal parallels to an ongoing investigation, he must do whatever it takes to discover his connection to the brutal killings.

His is yet another intriguing horror/thriller. I thought did an outstanding job as andy Bell. The whole thing about him using deadly nightshade as a way to access his memories to discover clues about the killer is brilliant. I loved the FX the used when he took the poison.

I also loved how the director vreatedthe atmosphere and the tension, which is important to this type of film.I also had fun with all the misdirection and the plot twist. As well I live the mere hint of the supernatural, though it is not explained, which is perfect, because I hate when these films explain away the supernatural.

All in all I rate this film as THRILLERIFIC!!!!

Patient Killer (2020)

By William Pattison

This time I got a thriller about a therapist who must rind a serial killer who is killing her patient….

It's been two years since Dylan McNalt killed himself. Therapist Victoria Wrightmar has been struggling to forgive herself ever since. After all, Dylan was her patient... and she allowed him to get too close. Victoria has managed to start a new practice specializing in dreams and hypnotherapy, and with the success of her newest book and the support of her boyfriend Jason, it seems like things are finally looking up. Until Blaire Bennett walks into Victoria's office. Blaire has been suffering from disturbing dreams, and a peculiar hypnosis session reveals that her case is startlingly similar to Dylan's. Is history repeating itself? Victoria's life begins to spiral out of control as other patients begin relapsing in their progress and Victoria's loved ones find themselves in harm's way. But is there somebody pulling the strings from the shadows, or is Victoria-the only thing linking it all together-somehow responsible? This was a well written film with a lot of tension and a lot of twists and turns.

Victoria Fratt oes a fantastic job as the therapist with the dark past,

All in all this is a well written psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I rate this film PHYOTACULAR!!!!

Review: Bone Hill (2025)

By William pattison

This time we got a native American possession tale…

Set in the deep back country of Michigan, an ancient Native American curse has come to life.

This is the type of of film I really enjoy. It is loaded with mythology and hit you with a lot of heart and creativity.

You can barely tell that this is a micro budget film because the film is solid and it keeps you interested.

I loved the main character Wade, played by Jeremey Krock.wade is a man who has gone through hell with the suicide of his wife and now must face battle an evil entity, because he has been marked.

Abby B Morrning plays,Laurie. Laurie is the unfortunate vessel for the evil entity that Wade must battle.The demon within her kills people by crush their bones and consuming the marrow. And the body count is rising.

I love the twists at the end.

All in all I have to highly recommend this film if you love native American demons and possession films…

Review: Ghosts of Darkness (2017)

By William Pattison

This time I got yet another cook haunted house film…

This is a haunted house film that I’m gonna put up with The Haunting, Rose Red, and Legend of Hell House.

This film tells the story of two paranormal investigators. Jonathan, played by Paul Flannery and Jack, played by Michael I Holes.

Jonathan is the expert in demonology, and ghost theory. Jack, a former sckeptic who is haunted by the suicide of his wife who got adicted the Ouija Board and was harassed by an evil spirit.

The main thing that makes this film is how well these two characters are written and acted.

The haunting is the usual multigenerational haunting where the history of the house is full of grizzly deaths.

There is no experimental ghost trap in this film because both investigators use just basic equipment and their minds devices.

The only disappointing thing I found is that the spirits in this film are susseptable to guns and knives. Yes this is a big no no with ghosts, but I was able to forgive this because this film royally engaged me and I actually cared for the characters.

All in all I have to say that if you live haunted house films you will live this film…

Review: EvilSpeak (1981)

By William Pattison

This time I have the notorious “Clint Howard Horror Film”.

The clumsy military cadet Stanley Coopersmith is orphan and completely outcast in the West Andover Academy. He is frequently abused and humiliated by four despicable mates, and has a bad treatment from his teachers, the coach, the colonel and even from the local reverend. When Coopersmith finds a book of black mass that belonged to the evil medieval Father Esteban, he uses a computer to conjure Satan and revenge his harassers.

This film is a classic early 80s witchcraft film. The big catch in regard to the film is that the witchcraft is done through a computer. From what I recall this was the only film that went in that direction.

This film for the most part is a standard nerdy guy gets revenge on his harassers using black magic. But that doesn’t mean this film is stereotypical, it definitely isn’t thank to to excellent performance by Clint Howard. He really puts his one of a kind stamp on this film. Also you really end up feeling sorry for Stanley Coopersmith.

Now on the other hand you jump for joy when the asshole cadets get their comeupins. There is a scene where these fuck torture Stanley’s pet dog and kill it in a way that made me want to punch the TV. None of Staney’s eventual victims victims are innocent.

Best part is this film has not worn with age. If anything this film is as good as when I saw it the weekend it came out over forty years ago.

All in all this film is AN 80s KISS OF AWESOMETACULAR,!!!!

Review: Witchboard 2: The Devil’s Doorway (1993)

By William Pattison

This time I’m reviewing the sequel to Keven S Tenney’s iconic horror film. Does this film live up to the name Witchboard?

I had waited years for Kevin Tenney to return to the world of Witchboard and give us the sequel we’ve been waiting for.

Though being pleasantly surprised with Tenney’s not sequel Witch Trap I still wanted to see the sequel.

And,b then rather than the sequel Tenney went on to so the psychological film Pinochios’s Revenge. I enjoyed the film but was disappointed and began to think Tenney had moved on.

Then in 1982 I saw an article in Fangoria that Tenney finally doing Witchboard 2. I was excited. I watched the trailer and was intrigued.

Then I finally rented the video when it came out. I was horribly disappointed. This film bore no resemblance to being a film by the director of Witch Board. The Tenney style just wasn’t there.

The color palet and choices of angle didn’t feel like witch Board. There were even special FX that didn’t scream Witchboard.

The acting and performances were ok.

But pretty much this film basically screaned run of the milk Ouija Board film and nothing iconic like the original Witchboard.

They tried to put in ab excentric caught in the 60s landlady, but she was no Zarabeth or O’hay.

While I was watching this mess of a film I asked myself, is this what I waited for? The answer was hell no. And like my fellow movie reviewer Jeremy Jauns I finished this film and forgot it until I got the idea of reviewing these early Kevin Tenney films. But after rewatching this film I reeperienced all the reasons I wanted to forget it.

I will always love Witchboard, but this pieces of DOGSHIT I just want to forget, much like I do the Witchboard remake.

Review:Witch Trap(1989)

By William Pattison

This time I got Keven S Tenney’s second film, that is not a sequel to Witch Board, even though the poster initially makes you think it is…

Witchtrap (1989)

The entrepreneur Devon Lauder hires the paranormal investigator Agnes Goldberg to go with her team to the inn he has inherited from his evil uncle Avery Lauter in a county in California since the place is haunted. He also hires the security agency owned by the skeptical Murphy to protect Agnes's group. On the arrival, they stumble upon the strong but creepy gardener Elwin. Soon Agnes decides to have a seance, and immediately after, the video technician Ginger Kowowski is murdered in the shower, but Murphy and his men believe Elwin is the killer. But soon enough, they learn that they are wrong.

Ok, people. Welcome to Lauder House, also known as Slaughter House thank to the fact that the former owner, who looks amazingly like Malfedor is haunting the place qndkills anyone who dars enter.

I love this kind of film. My favorite ghost films are The Haunting and Legend of Hell House.

Yes, I was one of the fools who grabbed this film at the video store only to read the disclaimer, in tiny writing that this is not a sequel to Witch Board. Yes, I was disappointed because I loved Witch Board and was waiting for a sequel. But then I watched the film and really loved it.

J P Leobrosen returns, but as the dark warlock, Avery Laughter. Avery look amazingly like another killer spirit named Malfedor, but this time JP has a hell of a lot more screen time for this time.

Up against Avery Laughter are the Paranormal couple Agnes and Felix Goldberg, played by Jody Tatum and Ron Zapple. Along with the the Goldbergs is research assistant Ginger Kowalky, who dies while taking a sexy shower while in a hell house with a killer ghost…Do I have to say more ? Also we have physical medium Whitney O”Shay, played by Kathleen Baily (does Tenney have a Kathleen obsession when it comes to mediums?) Amusingly O’Shay was the first time I heard about a physical medium in film. Though I later found out that real physical mediums are nothing like what was presented. A real physical medium can touch an item and give you a complete history on it. Tenney’s physical medium is a channel that a ghost can use to effect people and objects in the living world. The medium has a a ner epeleptic attack wilhile the ghost is using her in this film. This is completely made up. I thought should mention that.

Also unlike the researchers in the other films this paranormal time had the for thought of hiring a security team. This team is composed of the Frank Murphy, played by Jack W Thompson,L Jackson, played by Clyde Talley Il. And, finally the hero of the film and scepticTony Vincente, played by James W. Quinn.

This film is very much done in the Tenney style ,like Witch Board, but a bit more gory (a head explodes and don’t forget the bloody death in the shower.

Once again I think the budget was the reason for the style, unfortunately. It is one of the major reasons I can’t stand Temney’s later works, including the Witch Board remake.

The name sake of this film is an actual thing in the story. The Witchtrap is in fact a white box with a blinking light. It literally vacuumed up spirits and kick them inside. Does it work? Spoilers! Let’s just say it works as well as the machine in Legend of Hell House.

As I said in an earlier review I was very disapointed when Tenney’s style changed I think if he embraced his original style like John Carpenter did for the majority of his career (he only vneared with his last film The Ward…).

So, all in all I have to say that this film is TENNTACULAR!!!!!

Review: Witchboard (1986)

By William Pattison

This time I’m finally reviewing the Kevin S Tenney classic about possession from the use of a Ouija Board.

I saw this film in the theatre the day it came out and it had become a favorite film I would rent during the wonderful days of video rentals.

This film was my first experience of the work of filmmaker Kevin Tenney and is one of four films that I have had to replace over the years because I wore out the VHS and DVD.

I live this film. With this film and Tenney’s second feature film Witch Trap were done in a unique style that I nicknamed The Tenney style. I don’t know if it was because it was the fact that this film as well as Witch Trap were done on shoestring budgets that these two Tenney films have that unique feel and style. All I know is when I was younger I had a reverence for Tenney’s work and held him in the league of masters with John Carpenter. Sadly, after Tenney’s film Pinochio’s Revenge for some reason Tenney’s style radically changed and sadly

it lost its luster for me.

Tawny Kitaen plays Linda, who is the unfortunate victim of the evil spirit that is connected to the Ouija Board. Todd Allen plays Linda’s rough edged boyfriend Jom. Also,o finish the main characters off is Stephen Nicols(aka Patch from Days of Our Lives) asBrandon, Linda’sb friend, professor a, and paranormal researcher.

But then we also got two extraordinary performances that really make this film. First we got . P Luebson as the evil spirit Malfedor. Kuebson’s performance is amazing because themm the actor, besides a photo in a book, only appears for two seconds in the film, yet still makes a huge impression on the audience. Another performance that makes Witch board unique is the over the top and memorable performance by actress Kathleen Wilhoute as the medium Zarabeth. This performance actually changed the view of psychics and mediums in film and opened the door for door performances as psychics by Cindy Lauper in the film Psych as well as that of actress Arleen Sorken’s (The voice of Harley Quin in Batman the Animated series) character Calliope Jones in The Days of Our Lives.

All in all this film is a classic that never gets old. I rate this film as AWESOMETACULAR!!!

Review: Black Box (2026)

By William Pattison

This time I’m reviewing a bit of freaky airplane horror.

Vero Airlines Flight 298 from New Orleans to Seattle becomes the center of a chilling airborn mystery.

This film isn’t your average airplane horror film, this one really draws you in and keeps you guessing. You then when it hits you with what’s actually happening you are actually surprised, which really garners a bit of respect from me because it is such a rare thing in modern horror.

What I really love about this film is it takes its time before it hits you with the real terrifying part.

The creature FX when they finally show up are done really well. You see them in quick shots that are done for full startling effect.It is also the same with the other creepy stuff.

Tom Brittany plays Jeremy, who is our main character. Along with Jeremey is sky marxhall Emma, played by Molly White, and young actor Asia Ali as the little girl Taylor. This film has a load of tension and action,but is amazingly blood and gore free, which royally amazed me and also got my respect because it is hard now a days to do a good horror movie without slattering a lot of the red sauce.

Unfortunately, I can’t give you any clues about what happens

, and believe me you don’t want me to…not with this film.

All in all I have no choice but to give this film a well earned rating of AWESOMETACULAR!!!!

Review Soulmate (2026)

By William Pattison

This time I have reviewed a film by the people who brought us M3gan, but this time it’s a crazy adult woman robot…Joy!…

A man acquires an Artificially Intelligent android to cope with the loss of his recently deceased wife. In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, he inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.

Yep, that’s right!!! Brumehouse couldn’t leave the crazy, psycho robot companion genre alone after giving us nightmares with M3gan. Nope, now we got to deal with the robot girlfriend from Hell. Her name is Anna and she has a bit of an attachment issue.

Avid Rydalr plays amusingly, David, the computer programer who thinks it’s smart to take out all blocks on the articial girl’s programming.Lilly Sullivan does a scary, sex, performance as Anna, the the Soulm8te robot. Lsudia Doumit plays Aubry, the unfortunate girl who gets between Anna and David.

What I really loved was this time the filmmakers didn’t have Anna being quirky, like M3Gan. It made Anna far more scary when she started building a body count.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this film and I would love to see an eventual M3gan and Soulm8te crossover. So, if you love movies like this I can highly recommend it…

Review: Resident Evil (2026)

By William Pattison

This time I got the latest rebute of the Resident Evil franchise.

Resident Evil (2026)

A hapless courier is tasked with delivering a package to a remote hospital. He soon finds himself caught in the middle of an outbreak and must fight through hordes of mutated creatures to survive.

This film is a lot different than the other films in the franchise.

The T virus is still here but it is not mentioned by name. Also, the victims of the virus, rather than become zombies mutate into things that remind me more of John Carpenter’s The Thing than the earlier Resident Evil films. These things start out looking human but immediately start changing when confronted. Also these fuckers are fast and nasty. Also, the soundtrack for this film definitely has that John Carpenter feel…

Austan Abrams plays the unfortunate courior, Brian who ends up going through hell to deliver his package, that he doesn’t know is the the key to the cure. Brian reminds me a lot of the Marvel Peter Parker, except he is very vocal about his terror. He even comments about how many gates and locks he has to deal with during his travels. He is definitely no Alice or any of the other protagionists in earlier Resident Evil films. This guy is a horrible shot and when he is being chased he screams like a girl. I found myself chuckling at the torture the filmmakers put him through. I especially loved the scene where he decides to take the elevator to get to the top of the building where the scientists are because he would have to walk up twenty-eight floors via the stairs. He ended up having to deal with an acid púking mutant that was desoving the elevator as his reward for his smart idea.

All in all I can happily say that this is the best adaptation of Resident Evil. If you like a good mister film that keeps you on your toes this is your film. I say this film is ULTRAAWESOMTAcular!!!…

Review: Buddy (2026)

By William pattison

This time I’m reviewing a film about a kid trying not to be taken by a demonic kids show. Odd, have I seen this plot before??? Amusingly I have, but I’ve seen a hell of a lot of horror films. It doesn’t bother if I see resemblances in films…

In 1999, a group of amnesiac children live in the episodic world of It's Buddy!, a children's television show hosted by the tyrannical Buddy, a bright orange, humanoid unicorn with a purple heart on his chest who lives in his wacky clubhouse. When the children begin to defy their captor after one of the kids disappears, Buddy grinds his teeth and sends them on a perilous journey to the mythical Diamond City. Meanwhile, in the real world, traumatized suburban mother Grace is drawn into Buddy's abomination.

His is a wonderfully done dark parody of a bunch of hysterical children’s programming. Think The Teletubbies turned Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The Buddy show is crafted perfectly with LOTS of orange, reds,and yellows. Also plenty of freaky puppet action. And then there are the song, which gives me the twinges because I was the wonderful uncle who got stuck watching Barney and Friends for fives years, four episodes each session…Aaaaaah! Sorry!

Save me! Orange fat horse…Purple fat dinosaur…Is there something traumatically familiar? Mommy!!!

Even worse, Buddy is a hugger…a demanding hugger.

The kids in this film are your standard kid show kids and they really have no backstories except now suddenly they decide to go against Buddy.

One part I really loved was when the took off from the clubhouse and found the creepy cowboy puppet and the gold miner guy. I honestly the gold miner was going to go cannibal on the kids. Thankfully not. But what happens to these two members of Bubby World is not much better. All I can say is don’t piss off Buddy!!

All in all I found this film a very interesting take on parody horror. I’ll put this one up there with Thankskilling 3!!! AWSIMETACULAR!!!

Review: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple(2026)

By William Pattison.

This time I’m reviewing the sequel to the sequel, 28 years Later.

With visceral fear consuming him and the safety of Lindisfarne nothing but a distant memory, helpless Spike unwillingly joins the ranks of Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal's marauding disciples in the aftermath of 28 Years Later (2025). After all, the kid had no choice; it was either the twisted cult of the Fingers or an inevitable infection by the Rage Virus. Now forced to follow the psychopathic saviour's brutal orders to the letter, Spike must participate in the pack's atrocities, or suffer the consequences of rebellion. However, as the infected hordes of monstrous Alpha leader Samson roam the land, hope may yet emerge from Dr Ian Kelson's desperate and unconventional research. Could radical change start from within the imposing Bone Temple?

This film was a far better sequel than 28 Years Later. This film had a fair more interesting plot.

28 years later was incredibly boring. I recall actually nodding off while watching that film. This film kept my attention and had a lot more interesting characters.also, this film was far bloodier. Amusingly, in this film it was the human on human more than Rage plague victims on humans.

In many ways this film reminds me of the George Romero classic Day of the Dead. The Jimmes remind me a lot of the soldiers in Day of the Dead. As well the Jimmies were the bad guys, like the soldiers. Also, Dr Nelson reminds me of the doctor in Day of the Dead. That Doctor was trying to bring back Bub’s humanity much like Nelson was trying to with Samson.

Ralph Feins is excellent in the role of Doctor Neil Kelson. Also, Chi Lewis does an incredible performance as the Rage Plague victim, Samson, who slowly gets back his humanity thanks to Nelson’s drug experimentation. As well, isJack O’Connell as cult leader Sir Jimmy Crystal.

All in all this film is worlds better than its predesessor. And when it comes down to it this film is AWESOMETACULAR!!!

Review: Insidious: Out of the Further (2026)

By William Pattison

This time I’m reviewing the new Insidious film…

Gemma, a young mother raising her daughter in the house she grew up in, discovers she can travel into The Further, where she possesses an ability to bring what lives there back to the real world.

Now, I have to say that I have had a long history watching the Insidious films. I actually went and saw the original Insidious at the Metrion in San Francisco after going to the final Wonder Con in the Bay Area. That was special and I was very pleased with the film…

I thought Insidious: The Red Door was the worst the franchise could get…Then I watched this film. It seemed like Blumehouse gave this to some random pothead filmmakers and said, “Do whatever you want just as long as it has people in bad theatrical makeup and Lyne Shay in it. Oh, and don’t forget the Darth Maul demon, can’t forget him. That’s exactly what we got in this film. We got a jumbled mess of jump scares and people dressed as cause players crawling around and making faces at the camera.

Then they just threw Lyne Shay’s character in in the final act and just had her running around talking and doing NOTHING! And, we see the Darth Maul demon from the first Insidious for a whole two seconds. What the fuck? Absolutely none of the main characters stood out to me. I know the main girl somehow got the power to enter the Further at will. Oh, and she keeps getting chased by the ghost of her mom who keeps getting out of the further to attack and jump scare the audience. Oh joy. I felt nothing for anyone in this film, not one person.

Then, of course, these idiots decided to take their cues from Marvel and now we got a dick cult leader who was killed by cops and is planning to open the viel and set loose the ghosts of the Further to invade and possess all of living humanity…I kid you not. I wanted to puke. But in the end all is settled and all is happiness and puppies…UGH!!!

What the fuck, people. Is blume on drugs or what? That asshole green lit this fucked up mess. Give me a break!!! Lots of flashing lights and nutty people crawling around..Yeah, that’s Insidious. What did these assholes went to see the Insidious haunted house at Universal Studios and said, “we can do one of these films.” Nooooo! Naughty! NAUGHTY!!!

So, this is my judgement of this film… it is DOGSHIT, THE WATERY KIND!!! Fuck you BluneHouse. Get your hands out of your asses and give us an honest Insidious film next time!!! AaaaaaaaaH!

Review: Event Horizon (1997)

By William Pattison

This time I got the best film to ever combine Gothic Horror and science fiction on the big screen.

The year is 2047 and a ship named the Event Horizon has re-appeared after disappearing seven years prior, in experiments for faster-than-light travel. A rescue vessel hastily speeds to the returned vessel after a transmission is picked up from the ship, garbled but vaguely resembling a human voice. As the crew reaches the ship and spends longer on it, it appears that someone or something is toying with them, and more, the question is what has the Event Horizon become?

There have been many science fiction films that cross over into the horror genre, for example The Fly, The Thing and Alien to mention three good examples. Yet for me this film is one of the best examples of a crossover between sci Fi and horror. This film literally takes the idea of a haunted house and a gateway to hell and presents it in a way that is stunningly Gothic and horrifyingly atmospheric and psychological.

The experimental ship, The Event Horizon blends espects of old ghost ship mythology with Catholic imagry and even aspects that remind us of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser films.

The connection to Barker is obvious since it was Clive who first took on this project with the plan of actually making this film Hellraiser in space. Unfortunately problems with production happened and Barker eventually walked away from the project. Later Clive did get his Hellraiser in space but it was part of the Hellraiser anthology film Hellraiser Bloodline. This film was handed off three more times before finally getting hot. Still much ofBarker’s influence still remains and the film is actually better for it. The Barker factor made this film bloody, drutal, and heavily psychological.

As I said, this film is loaded with religious imagery. The very Event Horizon ship is shaped like cross. Also the interiors of the ship have almost a Gothic cathedral feel it it.

In this film the ship itself is a character. It has been corrupted by traveling into a universe of chaos where pain and torture is all there is, literally Hell. Given the corruption the ship can bring out the frears, trauma, and guilt from the rescue party and it does it in spades. One member of the resue crew tried to commit suicide by leaving the ship without a spacesuite.the main character,Doctor Weir goes insane and turns himself into a vision of Hell itself.

If you like films like Hellraiser as well as haunted house films this is a film you must experience this film. It is AWESOMTACULAR!!!

Review: Frankenstein Unbound (2009)

By William Pattison

This time I’m reviewing Roger Corman ‘s incredible film adaptation of Brian W Aldris’ Frankenstein novel.

The ultimate weapon, which was meant to be safe for humanity, produces global side-effects, including time-slides and disappearances. The scientist behind the project and his car are transported from the year 2031 to 1817's Switzerland, where he finds Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his contemporaries…Lord Byron, Percy Shelly, and Mary Shelly, who is writing her novel…

This film was a labor of love for for Corman, who fell in love with Aldis’ novel. But, the thing was that Corman didn’t want to have to do this film on a shoestring budget, so he pulled his resources for a ten year battle to get this story on the big screen in all its glory. In the end this is this amazing artist’s greatest achievment, which is a lot to say about the guy who made Vincent Price and Jack Nickelson stars and brought us his incredible adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe. But, this time he had the budget he wanted and could fully bring his and Brian W Aldis’ Frankenstein tale to life.

With his budget he was able to get John Hurt as the unfortunate scientist Joseph Duccanan as well as having the brilliant casting of Raul Julia as Victor Frankenstein. As well he had ridget Fonda as Mary Shelly and a wonderful performance by Nick Brimble as the Frankenstein monster.

The monster and bride design is outstanding. The monster actually has three color eyes. Also Buccanan’s talking car is a fun addition to the cast as well. Corman actually kept the car after the production was finished.p

The film was shot in Bucarist and features Lord Byron’s villa where Frankenstein was actually written. Not bad for a B movie producer…

All in all this film is the ultimate expression of the brilliance of Roger Corman and is ULTRA AWESOMETACULAR!!!

If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing this masterpiece, you can watch it on You Tube amazingly…

Review: Nightflyers (1987)And (2018)

By William Pattison

This time I’m reviewing and comparing the 1987 adaptation and failed 2018 TV series of George RR Martin’s Gothic Horror/ Science Fiction story he did before working on Game of Thrones.

Professor hires a spaceship to get to the source of weird signals from deep space. The trip is cut short however when the ship's computer gets jealous because the captain is in love with one of the female passengers and it gets homicidal.

Yes, that is right. George RR Martin took the idea of a Gothic haunted house story and put in in space years before Event Horizon.

The film is brilliantly executed and really captures the feel of Martin’s story.

On the contrary theSYFY TV series goes totally against everything the movie does right. They triple the size of the frieghter, The NightFlyer and rather than keeping the cast of characters small so the audience can really get to know them they filled the ship with a huge crew that is mostly used for murder fodder. Most of the characters that made the original story interesting are drown out, including the psychic characters

Also, in the film and the story one of the main thrusts were therelationship between the changed sex clone of the original captain of the ship, Royd played by Michel Pared), and the security chief of the expedition, Mirranda (played by Catherine Mary Scott). In the TV series they changed the two main characters and the villain black and the Royd (Roy Ellis in the TV series) and Miranda didn’t have the attraction of the ones in the story or movie. Shoot, they even changed all the character names in the series, except Adara.

Honestly the only good thing the TV series did was developed Royd’s “mother”, Adara. In the film she is a Gastly monster with electrical mind energy flashing over her zombie-like face. The TV Adara is far more human.

Unfortunately the TV series ends in a cliffhanger that will never be resolved. The ending makes the series an all together waste of time with nothing but plot holes.

The mivie and story end very well and complete the storylines of Royd and Miranda.

All in all the film and original story of Nightflyers are AWESOMETACULAR and the TV series is complete and utter DOGSHIT!!!

You can find the audiobook of the story and the movie on Youtube. The TV series I believe you might find on Netflix or Apple TV

Review: Dracula Eternal (2026)

By William Pattison

Oh, God, save me. This time I’m reviewing a new reinvisioning of the Bram Stoker classic novel. Oh, boy!!!

Dracula Eternal (2026)

Dracula Eternal: A woman's idyllic summer is shattered when her best friend falls ill, her fiance vanishes, and she's drawn into a terrifying battle against an ancient evil in this modern re-imagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Oh, the pain! This is my one hundred and fifth “reimagining of Dracula. I know Bram must be turning in his grave at this point. I know that these films are going to be painful the moment I see in the description “A modern film reimagining of Bram Stoker’s classic Gothic novel.” That tells me the film is going to be complete and utter crap. Dracula stripped of the Gothic background and feel is in no way Dracula. This film is stripped of everything Gothic, fuck, it takes place in LA. Sorry, LA will work with most vampires, but not the big D man. He needs to be in Europe and he needs to be congress stand with mikeBy buying a car in Cortana it was all online got 3 plus I great terms good damn it just ******* wash your piece of *** **** it **** you *** **** itaround places that have more history than America can give.

That is why this film doesn’t work for me, besides the atrocious acting and production values. On top of that they have a plot twist that just made me twing. And, when the finally show Dracula, I wanted to puke. The guy playing him was horrible.

On top of it all they even put a cut reel, that is actually more entertaining than the film.

All in all this film is DOG SHIT!!! UGE!!! Avoid like the plague!

Review: Grave of the Vampire (1972)

By William Pattison

This time I got an American dub of a Spanish classic vampire film that inspired the idea that vampires could breed with humans and create half vampire offspring…

Grave of the Vampire (1972)

A young man, born of a rape committed by a legendary vampire against a living woman, vows to locate and vanquish his undead father.

I remember seeing this film in my youth on Creature Features with Bob Wilkins. It interested me because it starred William Smith who played Falcon Eddie in Rich Man, Poor Man. In this film Smith played the half vampire son of the Vampire that disguised himself as a professor who specialized in the supernatural. When I was young, last time I saw this film I seven years old, I didn’t get the rape angle of the vampire. Now, it add a new level of nastiness to the film and to this particular vampire.

Amusingly, though the one scene that stayed with me wasn’t the infamous tape scene, nor the baby drinking blood from his mom’s tit, it was the final confrontation between the vampire and his son. I remembered the vampire massacring his students at the get together and William Smith fighting him. I think thisvwas the initial inspiration for my vampire, Terrance Vance. Still obviously this film had an impact on me as a writer and the vampire genre in general. I believe it is because of this film we got all the literature and films about Day Walkers, Damphires, and the like. It made it that vampires don’t have to be strictly like Dracula, and opened the genre to all the different styles of vampires we have to this day. That said, I say this film is BLOODY AWESOMETACULAR!!!
