Manson Family Movies Review

It’s no secret that America is fascinated with serial killers and other true crimes. While I’m not sure where this fixation comes from, I can’t deny that I, too, am intrigued by all of the sociopaths walking the face of the earth. There are countless documentaries, made-for-television movies, and TV series telling these true tales of terror, but there are none that are quite like the Manson Family Movies directed by John Aes-Nihil.

The Plot

It doesn’t happen often, but I am occasionally approached by filmmakers, offering me an opportunity to check out their work.

The Pigman Murders Review

The Pigman Murders

For anyone who has followed my reviews over the years, it is no secret that I used to dislike watching independent films.

The Plot

The Plot

A group of vloggers agree to spend a 24 hour period inside a notoriously haunted sanatorium, as their latest challenge to one another. Will the boys of Prankstaz.tv outlast their online [...]

The Monster Project Review

The Monster Project | Repulsive Reviews | Horror Movies

While it seems that the found footage sub-genre is almost non-existent at this point, there are still a few filmmakers who dare to try their hand at it. Some manage to do so quite effectively, I might add. The latest evidence of this is Victor Mathieu’s The Monster Project.

The Plot

A couple of buddies who want to increase their [YouTube] viewer count decide to make a documentary about real life monsters. They have all the right ingredients for [...]

Cold Ground Review

Cold Ground | Repulsive Reviews | Horror Movies

There was a time when all I watched was found footage films. A few years back, it seemed as though everyone and their mother was making them. Trust me, there were a lot of duds to sift through. Thankfully, there were also a lot of gems, too. Read on to find out where Fabien Delage’s Cold Ground fits in amongst the pack.

The Plot

In 1976, a group of biologists and journalists were investigating multiple cases of animal mutilations in [...]
