Facebook is royally crossing the line by limiting posting, sharing, and commenting on their social media site.

That's right people on Facebook if you do a post and try to share it you get a notice now the Facebook is now limiting posting, sharing, and commenting. They also make it clear that if you are found guilty of over posting, I guess one post or comment or per two hours, multiple times Facebook will block you from communicating period for over a month or the will delete your account.
This is outrageous. Zuckerberg is going way too far with this bullshit and people on Facebook need to stand up against this crap or we need to walk away and create a new social media community that doesn't have such restrictions on communication. This latest shit is way out of line.
All I was posting the same movie reviews I've been posting here. It shouldn't be an issue. Give me a break...

Review: Never Blink (2025)




Review: Never Blink (2025)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

 

Some old friends of mine made their first feature film that isn’t a paranormal documentary…

A team of medical students capture images of the world we don't see when we blink, and the results are beyond terrifying. A frightening journey into a macabre world that will make you never want to blink again. The mind functions in up to 11 dimensions. When we blink, a part of the mind reboots into those other dimensions. We lose an average of 48 minutes per day to that darkness. What if we could see what we are missing? What if those pathways lead to doors that should never be opened. Welcome to Never Blink, a whole new dimension of terror.

I’ve been acquaited with Christian Saint Booth and his brother Philip Adrian Booth, aka The Booth Brothers, since the release of their first paranormal documentary Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills and on through Children of The Grave1 and 2, and The Exorcist Diaries.

 I met Christian and his lovely wife when I had a table at EPIC Con. Wonderful people.

 The Booth Brothers have been the best in the field of paranormal documentaries and have been the bar that other paranormal documentarians are judged by.

Christian actually had produced a few horror films, including the excellent Dead Still. Now The Booth Brothers have joined  again and have taken the incredibly brave step of changing genres and leaving paranormal documentaries for horror with Never Blink. I’ve  only seen this happen twice in my time watching horror films. First was the astounding Gregory Dark with his directorial See No Evil. Then with Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka and there first feature film The Dead Matter.

This film has been getting a lot of bad criticism on IMDB. I don’t  agree with most of it but there are a few things the other reviewers got right. One thing is all the nurses and female medical researchers look like horror girls from horror conventions rather than what they are supposed to be. One researcher is a full on punk rocker. The Asian researcher actually changed from a half head shaved WOKE activist to a girl about to go to the club at times and then in the next scene wearing next to no makeup.

Also a couple royally annoying things in this film is the English accented notification and computer voice. This thing royally took me out of the story because it actually sounded like a girl doing a bad ALEXA imitation. Also they call the other dimension in the story The Inbetween and the main evil in it looks like Vecna from Stranger Things. Give me a break.

The story had potential but it never fulfilled it. I found the concept interesting but the way it was presented was just plain off to me.

Unfortunately I really can’t recommend this film. I can’t  stop you if you want to take a crack at it though. You can find it on Tubi TV. But if you want to see The Booth Brothers at their best check out Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills or The Haunted Boy: The Secret Diary of The Exorcist…Also on Tubi…

Review: The Demonologist (2019)



Review: The Demonologist (2019)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

 

This time I got a low budget demon hunter film…

Detective Damien Seryph investigates a string of murders that connects to a group trying to bring forth the 4 King Demons of Hell. Damien's past connects him to those involved and will force him to become "The Demonologist".

This film is one of those films that come out through Uncorked Distribution, which is usually an indication that it is complete crap. But once in a long while this crap distributor comes out with something that is at least watchable. This film is one of those even though the reviews on IMDB say otherwise.

Brian Krause does an ok job as the detective who is destined to be The Demonologist. The rest of the cast are acceptable, but I doubt you’ll find any future Academy or Golden Globe winners among them.

The story is the typical detective dealing with demons, it isn’t as bad as IMDB would lead you to believe. Also the FX and makeup work is a bit better than the usual Uncorked fare.

 So, this film is in no way art. It is barely even entertaining. To put it simply I won’t recommend it because I want to lead you to good entertaining films. Acceptable is not always acceptable…

Review: What Lives Here (2024)



Review : What Lives Here (2024)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

 

What do you get when you put foul mouthed junk removers into a creepy mansion? You get this film…

A Junk removal company is lured to an out-of-state project by a real estate agent promising big buck to remove the contents of a mansion with a sinister past.

 I royally loved this film. It is clearly a modern film but it has that 80s slasher vibe. You know. That little bit of glorious evil fairy dust that made us love 80s horror so much.

I loved the characters, even though they had potty mouths at times, which was the major complaint on IMDB. Give me a break!

The location is awesome. The house is amazing and creepy at the same time. You can see that they filmed the interiors in an actual house, which not an easy thing.

The story is good. The kills are satisfying. It even has some humor that catches you by surprise. This film is just plain good stuff and I say it’s  AWESOMETACULAR!!!

You want to check this film out you can find it on Tubi TV. I highly, highly recommend it…

Review: Brute 1976 (2025)



Review: Brute 1976 (2025)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

 

This time we got a supposed love letter to films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre…

In 1976 a group of people in the desert for a photo shoot stumble upon an abandoned town called Savage. But they are not alone. A family of masked psychopaths have claimed Savage as their own and are hell bent on living up to its name.

This film is an amusing, semi comedic, homage to the 70s beginning of slasher films.

This film is clearly meant as a love letter to the 70s and such films as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. Unfortunately, the filmmakers messed themselves up by making the character have a very 2000s knowledge of slasher films and throw in some non-70s views on homosexuality. Seriously, no one in the 70s is going to casually use the term slasher or talk about final girls. All these flubs kind of takes you out of the 70s and blatantly reminds you that this is a modern film with a 70s veneer on it, which ruins it. Well, it did for me.

I honestly think that with the slightest bit of editing this film could be a really outstanding homage, but in it’s present state it’s  a no go.

Some fans might enjoy this film, but I’m  not giving it my recommendation for the reasons I gave above.

If you want to check it out it is on Tubi TV.

Review:Predator Badlands (2025)



Predator: Badlands (2025)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

 

This time I got the latest film in the Predator Franchise.

A young Predator outcast from his clan finds an unlikely ally on his journey in search of the ultimate adversary.

I have to admit I had limited expectations with this film. I knew Disney would make this film a lot less brutal than the other films in the series and make it a typical coming of age adventure with a Predator as the main character. I wasn’t disappointed. It was exactly that. But it was a smidge better than that, and I mean a smidge. We start out with our main character who is a young Predator who has failed his training and is set to be beheaded by his father when his brother intervenes and is killed in his stead the brother, before dying throws his younger brother into a ship and sends him to a killer planet to prove himself by killing and bring back the ultimate killer species on this planet.

One good this this filmmaker does is create a nasty environment for this film. Pretty much everything on this planet is out to kill you, even the very grass is like razor blades.

Also the filmmaker managed to put in lots of blood, but it is all white, green, blue, and black, no red blood allowed because there is not one human in sight…

I thought the actor playing the young Predator did an acceptable job. He was not the Predator we’ve come to know in the earlier movies, the ultimate hunter. This guy has a lot of faults and needs the help of a simulant from the company from the Alien Franchise.

The simulant , who is played by Ell Fanning plays the part of information source, and comedy, happy, sidekick. Also, Fanning plays her “sister” simulant who is essentially the film’s villain.

All in all I was entertained by this film but this film doesn’t feel like a Predator film. It feels like a film full of buddy action, lots of cool visuals, and plenty of fighting, but the things that make a good Predator film is missing, so with that said I cannot in good conscience recommend it. I enjoyed what I saw but what I saw wasn’t even close to what it was supposed to be and what is really annoying is this film was done by the director of Prey, which was a really well done Predator film.

Review: Site 13 (2023)



Review: Site 13 (2023)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

This time I got another Lovecraftian horror film…

SITE 13 is a Cosmic Horror film. When Dr. Nathan Marsh awakens from a catatonic state in a mental institution, he must relive his last expedition by watching tapes from the site visit, only to discover he's unleashed an unstoppable horror.

His film amazingly managed to capture the creepy feeling of Lovecraft’s writings on a shoestring budget, which seems to be the best way to do movies either based or inspired by Lovecraft. I loved the long exposition scenes, which are the hallmarks of good Lovecraftian films. I also enjoyed the cheap CGI Old One, which added that low budget charm to this piece.

In conclusion I have to say that though this film is far from AWESOMETACULAR it is a good film that you don’t  need alcohol or drugs to enjoy, so be happy with that. You can see this film on Tubi TV…

Fun and Games (2023)




Review: All Fun and Games (2023)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

 

This time I got a film about I knife that conjures a demon…

A group of Salem teens discover a cursed knife that unleashes a demon that forces them to play gruesome, deadly versions of childhood games where there can be no winners, only survivors.

This is a well done medium length horror film, about one hour and sixteen minutes long. I the dysfunctional family that gets stuck playing the games. None of them are actually innocent, even the thirteen year old. I love that the “demon” in the games is actually a ghost of a young boy with was wrongly accused of witchcraft during Pilgrim times. I thought the mythology established was well represented. The story totally kept my interest and was edited well so there was no lag in the film, like there is in a lot of modern horror films.

I highly recommend this film, it’s  AWESOMETACULAR!!!

Review: The Black-Eyed Children (2025)



Review: The Black-Eyed Children (2025)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog…

 

This time I got a found footage film featuring the infamous Black-Eyed Children…

A young woman takes a job at an autumn camp in the woods, only to arrive to find that all the children have mysteriously disappeared. But as night falls, much to her dismay, some of them return.

This was a really creepy shoestring budget found footage film. I loved the location they chose for this film, it was very atmospheric. Besides that it is pretty much a small cast film with the most work being done by the female lead. In a lot of the other reviews on this film people made a big deal about the lady’s accent. I had no issues with it. I could understand her perfectly. As for the rest of the cast, decided Bill Oberst Jr who did an amazing job given he did it all via a webcam. Bill does a long and elliquent monologue halfway through the film. Good stuff Bill!

 As for the title characters, due to the budget they could only affort three black eyed children (all girls) when the story said there were seventeen missing kids. Still those kids were creepy as shit. I wish they had done the paranormal version of black eyed kids rather than the UFO version. It would have worked far better with the incredibly creepy location.

All in all it was very entertaining. I’ll recommend it if you are really into found footage.

Review: The Quantum Devil (2023)



Review: The Quantum Devil (2023)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog

 

Ok, this time we got yet another attempt to do an original film using the Lovecraft mythos…

The Quantum Devil is a fitting title for what we get to watch here, as four exceptional graduates of quantum science are invited by a controversial host, to earn a record pay of $ 500000,- each, for helping him successfully finish an experiment to travel into another dimension. Arrival at the mansion of their host already makes them realize something is odd, may be afoot. Then, their host is called away, leaving the four guests legitimated to start the experiment without him. The call being a ruse, as the host, Cervovich Senior, actually decides to use a different machine, allowing him to supervise the four candidates without them being aware of it. The team successfully creates a quantum drift, but weird coincidences make that seem a flawed success, as some sense of menace remains persistently. Finally, the team realizes that they are in trouble, as one by one they get murdered, until only one candidate still is left alive. Deluded, that he can ignore the diabolical aka homicidal antagonists and just flee back to 'reality', he is blocked from that option by the host proving to have quite some power to alter that quantum pocket dimension they are stuck in. In a final showdown, the host wins by cheating, returning to the real world to supervise similar experiments that did not go that well. The former four candidates are left behind, as if ghosts (trapped in that quantum dimension).

This is an interesting but horribly flawed film. To be precise, this is a mess. The supposed failed scientists don’t  act like scientists. They are clearly actors struggling to say all the technical jargon. Also none of these people even look like scientists. All the women dress like whores. The guys look more like cheap college students. Then there is the boss who is wearing a red robe and has the retarded man servant. I really wasn’t  impressed. The filmmaker tries to connect this garbage into the Lovecraft mythos, which he thinks will turn this turd to gold, and royally fails. The FX is cheap and the story is complete and utter crap. Excuse me, Robert Englund as Cythulu? I don’t  think so. You want a good similar film? Check out Frankenstein Syndrome, that is an excellent film. This is DOGSHIT!!!
