  • Sneak Peek! Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: The Aztec Aqueducts (S4E7)

    With just two episodes left in Season 4 of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, we ramp up for an exciting water-based finale. For those of us who love Eric Drummond, I regret to inform you that Episode 7 “The Aztec Aqueducts” is an Eric-less episode. Sadface. But before we jump into what Episode 7 “The…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Disaster at the Bead Site (S4E6)

    As quickly as they came, they went; the drones are gone! Seemingly overnight nearly all reporting, from citizens and the media, on the drones has ceased. Has the craze finally gone away? Did we ever truly get reasonable answers? Like I stated last week, most of the reports were nothing more than airplanes but there…

    It’s Monday and that means one thing…two days until the newest episode of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch! This season has had ups and downs, close calls, and mishaps—but that won’t stop our intrepid researchers from trying to find the answers they’re looking for.

  • Bloody Axe Wound Is a Late Entry for Horror-Comedy of the Year

    If you’d ever considered a world where slasher movies are real, have I got the film for you. A late 2024 entry, horror-comedy Bloody Axe Wound makes its way into theaters this weekend, and it’s a bloody good time worth the price of admission. The film takes place in the fictional location of Clover Falls,…

  • Nosferatu is a Beautifully Rendered Nightmare

    Robert Eggers movies are always frightening, even when they aren’t horror movies. They thrust viewers into a different and borderline alien world so convincingly, so intensely, that one can’t help but feel a little horrified by the experience. When The Northman puts the audience directly into the world of Norse mythology, the experience is so overwhelming that…

  • Ryan Kruger Updates Body-Melt Classic ‘Street Trash’

    If you’re at all interested in Fried Barry director Ryan Kruger’s Street Trash remake, it’s likely because you have fond memories of the 1987 J. Michael Muro body horror B-movie. The original film had some incredible special effects of body melting and oozing as well as some jaw-dropping scenes like a man corroding into a…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Sacrificial Altar (S4E5)

    Hello, fellow Ranchers! Our deepest apologies for our mysterious disappearance last week–it was out of our control. Did the government try to silence us for our weekly disclosure of all things High Strangeness? Who am I to say it wasn’t them? Whoever it was can’t scare me off. It’ll take more than men in black…

  • The Man in the White Van: True-Crime Stalker Horror

    On March 18, 2021, I received my first update for The Man in the White Van. Legion M (Mandy, Archenemy) announced the project using an amalgamation of scenes from previously released films to form a riveting concept trailer with a creepy, slowed-down cover version of The Turtles’ “Happy Together,” stitching the edit together with a…

  • Exorcisms Get Monstrous in Effects Driven Deus Irae

    There is no shortage of religious horror films in the world these days, but anyone who once considered The Exorcist extreme could never have envisioned Pedro Cristiani’s monster hunter body-horror nightmare, Deus Irae. The title, which translates to “Wrath of God,” involves three former people of the cloth, a holy trinity if you will, of…

  • Practical Effects Marvel ‘Replicator’ Needs More Time to Cook

    If you’ve read any of my reviews on this site, then it’s pretty apparent I have a sweet spot for microbudget, b-grade, and independent film. Any film with practical effects and a halfway decent idea has pretty much locked me in for its runtime. Cranked Up Films has been pumping out some really cool titles…
