But thinking of the good ones inevitably leads me to think about the bad ones, and my smile turns upside down into a frown. This year there happened to be …

SYNOPSIS: Found footage is the bane of any viewer of horror films. While, conceptually, the idea can be very interesting, most often it is simply an excuse for lazy filmmaking, shaky camera work, poor to non-existent scripting, and a recipe for complete disappointment.

When it comes to “found footage” one name immediately jumps into the mind of horror fans, Oren Peli. His unbelievably successful PARANORMAL ACTIVITY films redefined the sub genre and he is at it again but this time as a producer. You’ve probably seen the commercials all this week for CHERNOBYL DIARIES. Seems like I see the spot at least 4 …

We are coming up on the release of The Chernobyl Dairies pretty damn quick. Only a couple weeks to go. Seems like everyday now something new pops up in my inbox to help get us all a quiver for that rapidly approaching May 25th release date. This is looking to maybe be one of the surprise hits of the early …

As we creep ever closer to the latest release of a “found footage” horror film, this one of course being “The Chernobyl Diaries”, I am happy to report that this one while still in the same mold as previous entries appears to have a pretty good “creep” factor going for it.
