Review: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they're forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer...and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.

This is an excellent new installment in the franchise, even though it was made out like it is a reboot. This one is worlds better than the straight to video third installment. I loved all the references to the first film. I also was blown away with how they included Sarah Michelle Gellar’s character. This was truly a superior sequel.

The only thing I wasn’t thrilled with was the very end of the film. I felt they had too much after the actual story was satisfactory concluded. Thus, I give this film a B rating rather than an A because the studio had to give us an extra few scene to reinforce “The Message.” But still I will recommend this film.

Review: Wer (2013)

In France, the Porter family is slaughtered while camping in the woods, and only Claire Porter survives, seriously wounded. She reports that her husband Henry and her son Peter have been eaten alive by a strong man. Talan Gwynek, an Eremite who lives in the woods with his mother, is accused of the murders and arrested. Defense attorney Kate Moore is assigned to defend him, and she comes to the police station with her investigator Eric Sarin and animal expert Gavin Flemyng to interview Talan. Unwilling police inspector Klaus Pistor is sure that Talan is the murderer but must let Kate and her team work. There is turmoil in the precinct and Talan scratches Gavin. Then they visit Talan's mother and learn that Talan has a rare disease. Further, the government wants her lands to dispose nuclear waste and her husband has recently died in a car accident. Soon Eric discloses that Mr. Gwynek's death was suspicious and Pistor was in charge of the investigation. When Kate succeeds in sending Talan to a hospital for examination, she discovers the effects of Talan's disease and that he is in fact something primal and near indestructible.

The first thing I have to say is this film has found an amazingly original take on its subject matter, I won’t  say what exactly the subject is but I think you can guess by the title. The writing on this film is great. The story starts out like a legal drama dealing with the subject of canibalism but then this story alters into a brutal horror story and is full of gore and action. The acting is outstanding. The actor that plays Talan is both disturbing and sympathetic at the same time. The style of this film works great. The filmmaker even had sections that had a near documentary feel.

All and all all I can say if you want a film they puts you through your paces, like Barbarian, this is the film for you. You won’t  be disappointed. It is awesomtacular!!!

Dark Was the Night (2014)

Dark Was the Night (2014)

This time I’m reviewing the 2014 thriller, Dark Was the Night.

A mysterious force hidden within the trees outside the small town of Maiden Woods, strikes fear in the townspeople as Sheriff Paul Shields attempts to overcome the demons of his past while protecting those that he loves.

This is a wonderfully atmospheric film. The performances are excellent, especially that of Kevin Durand who plays the sheriff. It is light on the gore, but it isn’t missed because you are locked into the mystery the sheriff is trying to solve. I love that it is inspired by the case of The Devil’s Footprints.

To put it simply this is the type of horror film I cherish because it keeps my attention and doesn’t disappoint in the end. I highly recommend it because to me it is awesomeyacular!!

Review: Forbidden Empire (2014)

Forbidden Empire (2014)

By  William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

Forbidden Empire tell the story of how in the early 18th century Cartographer Jonathan Green undertakes a scientific voyage from Europe to the East. Having passed through Transylvania and crossed the Carpathian Mountains, he finds himself in a small village lost in impassible woods. Nothing but chance and heavy fog could bring him to this cursed place. People who live here do not resemble any other people which the traveler saw before that. The villagers, having dug a deep moat to fend themselves from the rest of the world, share a naive belief that they could save themselves from evil, failing to understand that evil has made its nest in their souls and is waiting for an opportunity to gush out upon the world.

This is a completely weird and wonder fantasy adventure. There are scenes in this film that had to have been inspired by acid trips. It is a mix of way out fantasy with a surprising hint of steam punk. This film caught me by surprised and just kept hitting me. This film made Pirates of the Caribbean look boring and normal. This is a film that would make a good double feature with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen or The Brothers Grim.

This is a film I can highly recommend, it is a gift for people looking for some outrageous adventure.

Review: Bring Her Back (2025)

Review: Bring Her Back (2025)

Bring Her Back tells the story of Andy and his step sister Piper who, after the death of their father further strengthens their bond and find themselves hastily placed into the foster care system. Andy is not yet of legal age to apply for guardianship; he must wait three long months before he and Piper are able to move into their new place. Until then Andy must behave himself as Laura, an empathetic foster mom, who is coping with silent grief, offers to adopt them both into her secluded home in the woods. However, there is something off about the artificially benevolent guardian. There is a third child at the residence that is off and acts with self abusive violence. It becomes evident that without a doubt, Laura wants something so bad she can taste it. The problem is, she must never bend the rules or break the circle. But just how far is she willing to go to bring her daughter back from the dead?

This film is horrifyingly disturbing and plain gross, in an Evil Dead way. You end up really feeling for Andy and Piper who gets royally manipulated. The ending of this film is truly shocking.

If you are a true fan of gross, shocking, creepy, films this is the film for you. The only issue is this is an art house film, this it is a slow burn.

Review: Eyes of Walanda

Eyes of Wakanda (2025)

By William Pattison

Eyes of Wakanda is a four part animated anthology series  about Wakandan warriors who, throughout history, have traveled the world to retrieve dangerous vibranium artifacts.

I really enjoyed this series and found it a very worthy inclusion to the world of Black Panther. This series is beautifully animated and is well written. I loved the humor in this series which was far better than the tongue in cheek stuff you usually find in a Marvel production. My favorite story beside the final episode was the one dealing with the fall of Troy and Acilles. Marvel animation is hit and miss, but this is truly excellent and I highly recommend it..

Review:Osiris (2025)

Review: Osiris (2025)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

This time I'm reviewing the Sci Fi/ Action film Osiris. Osiris tells the story of Special Forces commandos are abducted mid-operation by a mysterious spacecraft and, upon awakening, find themselves prey to a relentless alien race in a fight for survival.

If you were looking for the next Impendence Day or Skyline, be prepared  to be royally disappointed.This film is a low budget action film with a bare bones plot and characters that are mostly there for target practice. It plays like a cheap shooter video game. Lots of blood and gore and zero story. The aliens are stereotypical videogame style creatures. Fx artist Todd Masters does what he can with what he’s stuck with and in the end it is not enough for this turd of a film Even having Linda Hamilton in the film didn’t  have any impact. In fact anyone could have played her part.

Obviously I cannot recommend this film unless you are drunk and smoking tons of pot. Then it would be a party!!!
