review: An American Terror (2014)

3virew; An American Terror (2014)

By William Pattison For Horror Bob’s Blog

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!!!

Review:Whalefall(2026)

Review:Whale Fall (2026)

By William Pattison

For Horror Bob’s Blog…

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!!!!

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…
