Charlotte's Net (2021) by James Dobbins Jones

Director : James Dobbins Jones Year : 2021 Country : Australia Alternate Titles : N/A Genre : Exploitation; Mockumentary Plot : After looking into how to go online, a kid and his friend find a series of dark and disturbing visuals about human nature. Review : This was a rather tough and disturbing genre effort. The very nature of the lips being show, ranging from gang beatdowns, live mutilations and dismemberments, executions, and accidents that reveal brutal and obscene acts from various sources reveal a highly uncomfortable experience. The fact that it’s taken from documentary footage leads a realism to the material that goes beyond most genre fare as the detachment that comes about from this approach, especially when it goes beyond the human deaths into highly uncomfortable bodily functions or other antics that include animals at certain points. This creates a generally bleak and disruptive atmosphere that is quite difficult to get through. There are some problems to be had here. Th

I Am Rage (2023) by David Ryan Keith

Director : David Ryan Keith Year : 2023 Country : United Kingdom Alternate Titles : N/A Genre : Action Plot : Gathered together at their remote mansion, a woman joins her boyfriend at a special get-together with his brother and her girlfriend where they’re introduced to their parents. As the get-together continues, they realize that something is wrong and that the family has drugged and kidnapped the two girls to be used as the next patients in a special blood-harvesting cult looking to use their blood to high-end clients looking for the fountain of youth. Forced to band together to escape the situation when it dawns on them that several clients have arrived looking to collect a shipment, her past as a traumatized abuse survivor allows her the chance to fight back and stop the operation. Review : Overall, this was a rather enjoyable and impressive genre effort. One of the stronger features here is the impressive backstory that brings the film about quite nicely. With the introductory s

The Mummy: Resurrection (2023) by Steve Lawson

Director : Steve Lawson Year : 2023 Country : United Kingdom Alternate Titles : N/A Genre : Mummy Plot : Arriving at his uncle’s house, a down-on-his-luck gambler hoping to gain an inheritance instead receives nothing and decides to stay there with his cousin to look over the remains left behind in their care including a cursed mummy that threatens to pull them into a deadly scenario. Review : This was a pretty fun and generally enjoyable genre effort. Among the films’ better qualities here is the rather fun setup here featuring some pretty intriguing qualities. As we’re initially given quite a fantastic insight into the need to repay his bookie that goes alongside the news of the inheritance which is a way out of that situation, the need to visit the family house where everything takes place. The knowledge about his ailing condition and how the curse starts to take shape all combine together to give the film a highly impressive starting point. That provides a great launching pad to un
