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...

The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) by André Øvredal

Director : André Øvredal Year : 2023 Country : USA/United Kingdom/Canada/India/Germany Alternate Titles : N/A Genre : Vampire Plot : Setting sail from Bulgaria for England, the crew of a sailing vessel starts to encounter a slew of odd accidents during their journey which is furthered by the discovery of a stowaway that alerts them to a deadly presence onboard killing them one by one and must stop it. Review : This was a fairly solid and enjoyable effort with a lot to like about it. Among the better features here is the means through which it builds up the central story present which won’t be familiar due to the end-game being obvious from the source material but is still fun enough. The build-up of the first half dealing with the crew setting out on the fateful expedition, with the locals being scared off by the warnings and strange symbols found on the cargo to take on the doctor as a new crew member and getting him involved in the rest of their antics that spurns this along. It goes...

It Came from Below (2021) by Dan Allen

Director : Dan Allen Year : 2021 Country : United Kingdom Alternate Titles : N/A Genre : Creature Feature Plot : After her father’s death, a woman’s friends decide to take her on a trip to a local cave system to check out a rumored discovery he made in the area, but after getting lost in the vast underground caverns they learn his warnings about mysterious beings living in the caves are real and try to get out alive. Review : There was a lot to like about this one. One of the stronger features here is the film’s rather enjoyable setup that brings the couples together and sends them into the caves system. Starting off with the group getting together under her father’s death and try to lift her spirits despite the obsession with the journal detailing the monsters in the pages, everything here starts off well enough with the inadvertent tension between everyone and how it all plays out. The early adventures hiking into the woods on their way to get there is quite fun as well, featuring en...
