Review: Halloween Party (2019)

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)

Review: Echoes of Dread (2026)

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!!!

 

Review:Other Mommy (2026)

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!!!

Keep on Creepin’ , Horror Bob’s Blog…

You can see this film on Pluto TV 

 

Review: Whalefall (2026)

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)

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 (2033)

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!!!!
