Bambi: The Reconning (2025)

Review: Bambi: The Reckoning (2025)

For Horror Bob’s Blog

Oh my fucking GOD, people!!! You better damn appreciate my sacrifice when it comes to this. I traumatized myself and eradicated my childhood by forcing myself to watch Bambi: The Reconning. It wasn’t enough that this group of complete bastard English filmmakers unusual for him to stay at the motel connected to the dance club who would rent a motelhave taken our childhood Disney cartoons and warped them in slasher and monster films. For fuck’s sake Disney itself is already torturing us with their fucked up WOKE bullshit “live action” remakes. Jesus fucking Christ…(Bile) Well, let’s  start the torture…They got such sights to show you…

After a mother and son are involved in a car accident, they become the targets of a terrifying hunt. Traumatized by the loss of his own mother, Bambi undergoes a horrifying transformation, becoming a mutated and vengeful creature. Driven by grief and rage, he seeks revenge on the surviving mother and son, leading to a deadly game of survival in the woods. This dark and twisted retelling explores themes of grief, revenge, and the dangers of nature.

I have to admit Bambi was the most entertaining, twisted, and well made installment in this completely fucked up subgenre. The story is actually a well written parable or rage, pain, and the evils that business men do. The acting is the best I’ve  seen so far in one of these blockbuster (NOT) films. The CGI demonic deer in this film is the best part of it next to Thumper and the other CGI bunnies. This kills are brutal and well executed. I actually both laughed and cringed in a couple of places.

If you choose to watch this film I highly recommend you watch the four part remake of Bambi VS Godzilla shorts to set yourself up for this film. Bambi is a nasty customer and he can put Rambo to shame if you cross him. Just saying.

I can’t  believe I’m  saying this, but I highly recommend this fucked up film, just not for the little ones. Let them have their childhood because these greedy fucks try to destroy it with a happy smirk on their faces. Bastards!!!!

The Painted (2024)

Review: The Painted (2024)

When Evelyn Elster inherits her estranged cousin's fortune she thinks her family has finally gotten the break they've needed. Little do they know they've not only inherited her cousin's riches, but also a family curse, and must do whatever they can to avoid becoming its latest victims.

I must say I have an real affection for haunted paintings/ haunted photograph films. I love every adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray. As well my favorite of the Dark Shadows films is actually Night of Dark Shadows, which deals with the witch Angelique being resurrect through her portrait. The last ten years the haunted portrait films have come back with films like the newest adaptation of Dorian Gray, Dead Still, and this film The Painted.

This film is an excellent edition to this beloved subgenre. The mythology of the curse in this film is pure perfection. I know the screenwriter must have been a fans of Night of Dark Shadows and The Innocents. The acting is excellent. The CGI animation on the paintings is creeping and expertly executed. All together this is an excellent demonic ghost story that I find awesometacular! If you want to enjoy this excellent film you can find it on Fawesome in the best horror movie list…and it is a well earned title…

Review:Deadly Descent aka YETI (2013)

Review: Deadly Descent: The Abominable Snowman aka YETI (2013)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

 

My next review is one of those amusing horror/adventure /Abominable Snowman movies.

When an ex-military climber  named Brian is found to be missing his friends go up into the mountains to try and find him and come face to face with the deadly creature Brian was searching for. They manage to escape the creature and find shelter in an abandoned lodge. They find Brian there and find out he was trying to trap and kill the creature because it killed his father. Then, of course, to add spice to the situation they find out there are two creatures. Now Brian and his friends must fight for their lives again these primal forces. Will they survive?

Unfortunately, this film suffers from the same defects as 98 percent of the film in this subgenre. This film has bad writing as well as bad acting. For Christ’s sake, Adrian Paul has to do this ridiculous American accent!!! All the characters  are supposed to be ex-military yet all they do is argue with each other and make stupid mistakes. And, if all that wasn’t  enough, then there is the most horrifying, not scary at all, part of the film, the creatures. These things don’t  look anything like Yetis. They look like horribly CGIed Gorillas/ bears. This is royally bad. It makes Sharknado look good .

So, with all this said, if you want a good snow creature laughfest, I’ll recommend it…only thing is you’ll need to down two bottles of whiskey and a large Cheech and Chong Doobie to get through this mess. I suggest you save yourself the hangover and watch Abominable instead.

Alma and the Wolf (2025)

Alma and the Wolf (2025)

My next review is on the heavily psychological horror art house film Alma and the Wolf.

Set on the Oregon coast, troubled police officer Ren Accord investigates a mysterious wolf attack. Matters escalate when his estranged son vanishes during the case.

Ren starts having disturbing visions of a demonic white dogman and rams and it all leads to the horrifying conclusion.

This was definitely a film I  will put on my freaky list. It goes from a sheriff deputy finding a bloody woman on the road to a complete acid nightmare. The dogman and ram people are brilliantly created. The plot and performance were well done. All I can say is if you enjoy your horror with a heavy psychological edge you will enjoy this film. I highly recommend it

Mouseboat Massacre 2025

Mouseboat Massacre (2025)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob's Blog 

For my next review I'm doing the 2025 cartoon character slasher film.

The story follows a young woman battling a drug addiction who suddenly begins to see a mutated mouse human hybrid who infests her life. Those around her begin to drop like flies.

This film is unfortunately part of the tread where horror filmmakers take famous IP cartoon characters that have hit public domain and turn them into slashers. This started with Winney the Poe Blood and Honey and the trend went nuts. All of a sudden we have the Grinch killing people and Peter Pan. Shit, there is an upcoming Bambi'Revenge film about a demonic deer killing people. In regard to Mickey Mouse this is the second slasher film featuring a killer wearing a mask of the Disney icon.

This English film is no work of art. It steals a bit from The Ring. In this film the Mickey killer is manifested when you play a freaky cartoon, which is a twisted version of Steamboat Willy. This killer actually does have his own boat. The acting is over the top. The plot is stereotype supernatural slasher with next to nothing relating to Mickey Mouse except the mask.

For me it wasn't that entertaining. Also I would definitely not show this to children unless you like spending money on therapy. As far as this film goes I cannot recommend it, except if you are in the minority who actually likes this dreck.

Fire City: End of Days (2015)

Review: Fire City: End of Days (2015)

By William Pattison

Vine, a disillusioned demon, secretly lives with others of his kind in the world of humans sustained by their misery. Forced into a choice to save his brethren or an innocent human girl, the delicate balance between human and demon kind is threatened, which may result in war.

I’m usually not a fan of film distributed by UnCorked. They are usually low budget, badly acted, and badly made crap. This film is a diamond in a sea of crap.

This film has an interesting concept, of a city where demons and humans live together, the demons feeling on the human suffering on the streets.

 The acting in this film is far better than than your usual UnCorked maturefest. The makeup work on the demons really work, though most of the artistry is lost by the fact that this film is shit in low light with color filters. Still the action and the gritty plot saves the day and brings some entertainment into the mix, which is a miracle for UnCorked. But that is just my opinion.

All in all I’ll  give this film a 3.5 out of 5 on the Oogie Boogie scale, thus I can recommend it.

The Beast of Walton St (2023)

The Beast of Walton St. (2023)

Our next review is the low budget arthouse werewolf film, The Beast of Walton St.

As the homeless population of an Ohio town is ravaged by brutal deaths in the dead of winter, two outcast women defend their turf and fight back against the deadly creature - a werewolf.

I loved this film. The filmmaker used his budget well. The script was well written and had great characterization, which is a plus when you don’t have a ton of money. The werewolf was outstanding. It had an American Werewolf in London vibe. It was shown in little bites, mind the pun, which actually worked well. Also the girls playing the leads worked well with each other and felt like close buddies.

All in all I say it would be a serious mistake to overlook this film. I say it is actually awesometacular and a must see for low budget arthouse afficianados.
