Review: AS ABOVE, SO BELOW (2014) {0}
Whatever else As Above, So Below has to recommend it, and it has several things that eminently do so, it has breathed a little fresh air into the found-footage genre of horror film. This is a tidy little flick, heavy on mood, light on gore, and bursting with a refreshing originality of story line. Fans of alchemy will find much to reward them here,including the true meaning of vitriol. Fans of the Lovecraftian school of weirdness will also find much to enjoy. Plus, there’s a dash of Dante, and a hint of Templars that make the mix of hubris and guilt that much more piquant.

Review: THE WOMAN IN BLACK: ANGEL OF DEATH (2015) {0}
No matter what happens to be in fashion within the horror genre in any given year, it seems that there will always be room for haunted house stories. Zombie tales, slasher flicks, and biological mayhem seem to wax and wane in their popularity but not haunted house movies: from The Old Dark House (1932) to The Conjuring (2013) – and hundreds of films in between – audiences never seem to get tired of innocent people poking through creepy old houses while something supernaturally unpleasant takes place.

“A clown isn’t funny in the moonlight,” Lon Chaney once said, and Eli Roth appears to agree: the prolific producer’s new film, Clown, is the terrifying story of a father who puts on a clown costume for his son’s birthday party – and finds he can’t take it off again. More

Check yourself before you [REC]4 yourself
One hates to simply compare a sequel to its predecessors, mainly because it’s a basic and simplistic way to analyze what should be considered its own movie – but in the case of the [REC] franchise it’s worth noting that the first two films are freaking brilliant, and the third one is an interesting if not entirely successful departure from the established formula, The main problem with [REC] 3 was that it dropped the “found footage” angle that made [REC] and [REC] 2 so vibrant, wild, and unpredictable.

Review: DARK SUMMER (2015) {0}
An occult thriller about the repercussions of cyber-stalking seems more than a little timely this year, and when a new indie film seems like it was torn out of a current newspaper, it’s important to figure out if the film is brave and insightful – or if it’s simply tacky and opportunistic. Given that Dark Summer was produced well before recent issues like ‘Gamergate’, it seems that the filmmakers were simply one step ahead of the headlines.
