UNNAMED FOOTAGE FESTIVAL: NIGHTFALL: A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION
One of those ‘cover your eyes and block your ears’ films. Finally, someone made a movie set 53 days before my birthday!In 1988, Archie and Mick are returning to Elizabeth Blair’s home to check in on the Paranormal goings-on. What follows is Case 13. In 2023, the horror world was

Unnamed Footage Film Festival: The Unsolved Love Hotel Murder Case Incident
As a film festival that exclusively brings found-footage films to the big screen, Unnamed Footage Film Festival is one of my favourite times of the year. On the 28th of March, the fest brought San Francisco audiences The Unsolved Love Hotel Murder Case Incident, a production out of Japan from

Film Review: Cannibal Mukbang
Cannibal Mukbang is a film with one of the best horror movie titles ever. I think it even trumps Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder In Hell. A bold move from writer, director, and co-editor Aimee Kuge. It conjures up images of neon red spraying, an homage to 70s exploitation films, but Kuge

Film Review: Livescreamers
LIVESCREAMERS is a haunted house thriller like you’ve never seen before. Showing that virtual reality hauntings are just as deadly as the house down the lane. A new mode of filmmaking to refresh the ‘Found Footage’ genre. It is more apt to say the film is ‘created’ by Michelle Iannantuono

Dark Nights Film Fest: Bloodsucker
DARK NIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL presents the international premiere of the vampire spiral into destruction that is Bloodsucker (Blodsuger). The film is the latest from Kaspur Juhl, known for staring straight into the face of human brutality. It’s bold of the director to tackle such a well-known, perhaps overused type of

The film is a great fit for the festival’s wide spectrum of genre presentations, this one in particular, employing some

Film Review: BOOGER
An intoxicating fur ball of Body Horror and Hipster sensibilities, Booger is certainly one of the most original takes on the psychological thriller. And who doesn’t love cats? Lots of people don’t, and I don’t like those people. Let’s give it up for masterful debut films, especially when helmed by

Hunting For The Hag (Unnamed Footage Festival)
From director Paul A. Brooks, co-written with producer Sierra Renfro, comes HUNTING FOR THE HAG, a hybrid-footage road trip of cryptid hunting and home invasion. While leaving me with mixed feelings, it will always come to mind when I hear the phrase ‘Found Footage horror movie.’ So it is no

Visitors- Complete Edition (FANTASPOA 2024)
Evil Dead by way of Animal Crossing! My first month at FF, and I’ve already had the pleasure of engaging with two international festivals. This time, it’s Brazil’s FANTASPOA (now in its 20th year)—the largest genre film festival in Latin America. 2024 has a huge program under its belt, with

Review: DO NOT WATCH (Unnamed Footage Festival)
UNNAMED FOOTAGE FESTIVAL is officially underway in San Francisco. It is an entire film festival dedicated to screening Found Footage horror (and adjacent) films until the 31st of March. You love some, you hate some, but at the end of the day, Found Footage, whether it be faux documentaries or
