Something is going on in the tunnels under Sydney, and it’s terrifying. Found footage films for me, like most, can be hit or miss, but I’m willing to give a little leeway for something of them. The Tunnel definitely earned that grace from me. I enjoyed this one, it’s enjoyable, and was produced in an…

Edenville (2023) – Sam Rebelein
I love a good horror novel, and I often find myself cruising best of lists to find something that catches my interest and haven’t heard of. Apparently in October of last year, I missed a stellar horror release by Sam Rebelein. Combining folk, cosmic and body horror, Edenville pulled me in and completely enraptured me…
The Expanse (2021) – Force Projection, and Redoubt
Dan Nowak pens Force Projection which upon its end, will place us halfway through the final season of The Expanse. It first dropped on Prime on 24 December, 2021 and saw tensions rising up all over the system, as well as some interesting things happening on Laconia. The family we’ve been checking in on has…
Millennium (1999) – Seven and One, and Nostalgia
Here we are, the penultimate installment of Millennium, the first spin-off from Chris Carter’s The X-Files, and as we close in on the end of the series, the solid episodes just keep coming. Seven and One, written by Frank Spotnitz and series creator Chris Carter, is scary, unnerving and fantastic. First airing on 30 April,…

Written by Daniel Arkin, this episode was first broadcast on 7 March, 1999. The pair go undercover into a gated, rule-abiding community to investigate some mysterious disappearances. Posing as a married couple,…
Willow Creek (2013) – Bobcat Goldthwait
Hitting DVD and Blu-Ray last week was this found footage film that I missed at Toronto After Dark last year. As a slow-burning, low-budget horror film, this one works, and is wonderfully creepy and troubling. Don’t go in expecting big budget thrills, think Blair Witch, but replaced, possibly, by Bigfoot. Jim (Bryce Johnson) is…
The Frankenstein Theory (2013) – Andrew Weiner
Anchor Bay Canada was kind enough to send me a copy of this thinking it may interest me. So, I dutifully threw it into my player and had a look. I’m not a huge fan of found footage films, but I do find them easier to watch on the small screen, in a theater…
