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 (2022)

PplReview: Nightshade (2022)

By William Pattison

For Horror  Bob’s Blog…

 

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!!!!

Review: Patient Killer (2020)

Patient Killer (2020)

By William Pattison 

For Horror Bob's Blog...

This time I got a thriller about a therapist who must rind a serial killer who is killing her patient….

It's been two years since Dylan McNalt killed himself. Therapist Victoria Wrightmar has been struggling to forgive herself ever since. After all, Dylan was her patient... and she allowed him to get too close. Victoria has managed to start a new practice specializing in dreams and hypnotherapy, and with the success of her newest book and the support of her boyfriend Jason, it seems like things are finally looking up. Until Blaire Bennett walks into Victoria's office. Blaire has been suffering from disturbing dreams, and a peculiar hypnosis session reveals that her case is startlingly similar to Dylan's. Is history repeating itself? Victoria's life begins to spiral out of control as other patients begin relapsing in their progress and Victoria's loved ones find themselves in harm's way. But is there somebody pulling the strings from the shadows, or is Victoria-the only thing linking it all together-somehow responsible? This was a well written film with a lot of tension and a lot of twists and turns.

 Victoria Fratt oes a fantastic job as the therapist with the dark past,

All in all this is a well written psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I rate this film PHYOTACULAR!!!!

This time we got a native American possession tale…

Set in the deep back country of Michigan, an ancient Native American curse has come to life.

This is the type of of film I really enjoy. It is loaded with mythology and hit you with a lot of heart and creativity.

You can barely tell that this is a micro budget film because the film is solid and it keeps you interested.

I loved the main character Wade, played by Jeremey Krock.wade is a man who has gone through hell with the suicide of his wife and now must face battle an evil entity, because he has been marked.

Abby B Morrning plays,Laurie. Laurie is the unfortunate vessel for the evil entity that Wade must battle.The demon within her kills people by crush their bones and consuming the marrow. And the body count is rising.

I love the twists at the end.

All in all I have to highly recommend this film if you love native American demons and possession films…

Review: Ghosts of Darkness (2017)

This time I got yet another cook haunted house film…

This is a haunted house film that I’m gonna put up with The Haunting, Rose Red, and Legend of Hell House.

This film tells the story of two paranormal investigators. Jonathan, played by Paul Flannery and Jack, played by Michael I Holes.

Jonathan is the expert in demonology, and ghost theory. Jack, a former sckeptic who is haunted by the suicide of his wife who got adicted the Ouija Board and was harassed by an evil spirit.

The main thing that makes this film is how well these two characters are written and acted.

The haunting is the usual multigenerational haunting where the history of the house is full of grizzly deaths.

There is no experimental ghost trap in this film because both investigators use just basic equipment and their minds devices.

The only disappointing thing I found is that the spirits in this film are susseptable to guns and knives. Yes this is a big no no with ghosts, but I was able to forgive this because this film royally engaged me and I actually cared for the characters.

All in all I have to say that if you live haunted house films you will live this film…

Review: EvilSpeak (1981)

Review: EvilSpeak (1981)

By William Pattison For Horror Bob’s Blog…

This time I have the notorious “Clint Howard  Horror Film”.

The clumsy military cadet Stanley Coopersmith is orphan and completely outcast in the West Andover Academy. He is frequently abused and humiliated by four despicable mates, and has a bad treatment from his teachers, the coach, the colonel and even from the local reverend. When Coopersmith finds a book of black mass that belonged to the evil medieval Father Esteban, he uses a computer to conjure Satan and revenge his harassers.

This film is a classic early 80s witchcraft film. The big catch in regard to the film is that the witchcraft is done through a computer. From what I recall this was the only film that went in that direction.

This film for the most part is a standard nerdy guy gets revenge on his harassers using black magic. But that doesn’t  mean this film is stereotypical, it definitely isn’t thank to to excellent performance by Clint Howard. He really puts his one of a kind stamp on this film. Also you really end up feeling sorry for Stanley Coopersmith.

Now on the other hand you jump for joy when the asshole cadets get their comeupins. There is a scene where these fuck torture Stanley’s pet dog and kill it in a way that made me want to punch the TV. None of Staney’s eventual victims victims are innocent.

Best part is this film has not worn with age. If anything this film is as good as when I saw it the weekend it came out  over forty years ago.

All in all this film is AN 80s KISS OF AWESOMETACULAR,!!!!

Review: Witchboard 2: The Devil's Doorway (1993)

Review: Witchboard 2: The Devil’s Doorway (1993)

For Horror Bob’s Blog…

This time I’m reviewing the sequel to Keven S Tenney’s iconic horror film. Does this film live up to the name Witchboard?

I had waited years for Kevin Tenney to return to the world of Witchboard and give us the sequel we’ve been waiting for.

Though being pleasantly surprised with Tenney’s not sequel Witch Trap I still wanted to see the sequel.

And,b then rather than the sequel Tenney went on to so the psychological film Pinochios’s Revenge. I enjoyed the film but was disappointed and began to think Tenney had moved on.

Then in 1982 I saw an article in Fangoria that Tenney finally doing Witchboard 2. I was excited. I watched the trailer and was intrigued.

Then I finally rented the video when it came out. I was horribly disappointed. This film bore no resemblance to being a film by the director of Witch Board. The Tenney style just wasn’t  there.

The color palet and choices of angle didn’t  feel like witch Board. There were even special FX that didn’t scream Witchboard.

The acting and performances were ok.

But pretty much this film basically screaned run of the milk Ouija Board film and nothing iconic like the original Witchboard.

They tried to put in ab excentric caught in the 60s landlady, but she was no Zarabeth or O’hay.

While I was watching this mess of a film I asked myself, is this what I waited for? The answer was hell no. And like my fellow movie reviewer Jeremy Jauns I finished this film and forgot it until I got the idea of reviewing these early Kevin Tenney films. But after rewatching this film I reeperienced all the reasons I wanted to forget it.

I will always love Witchboard, but this pieces of DOGSHIT I just want to forget, much like I do the Witchboard remake.
