Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
There’s something simultaneously exciting and horrifying about discovering the worst entry of the Amityville “franchise” more than 35 films in. And yet, Amityville Hex truly is *that* bad.
The first of writer /director Tony Newton’s two entries, 2021’s Amityville Hex is a disaster in nearly every way. From amateur acting to a repetitive script to an egregiously long (and unearned) runtime, the film embodies all of the negative qualities that have earned “Amityville” films derision and mockery.
Modeled on the screenlife model popularized by Host and, to a lesser extent Unfriended and Searching, Newton’s film focuses on vloggers who participate in “the Amityville Hex”, which involves reading a chant on camera, then documenting the aftermath.
It’s a fairly simple premise,...

You can watch the official trailer for Desert Fiends below, which runs over 3-minutes long and plays out like a highlight reel of the old school practical effects you can expect in this one.

Scream Bloody Murder will be the first feature film from director, Shawn C. Phillips – aka YouTuber and actor Coolduder. Rounding out the great talent behind this production is executive producer, Will Collazo Jr.; editor/producer Navid Sanati; co-producer Julie Anne Prescott; and additional casting by Clapit. Says Phillips:
Its going to be a love letter to 90s slasher films in the style of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The movie will also have elements of films like Mean Girls as well as Revenge of the Nerds. So it will have some humor mixed in as well to the film.

I have seen many many found footage horror movies and I am as big of a fan of them as you’ll probably know. It all started with the original The Blair Witch Project and although it took a while for the sub genre to really get going, it has created some true classics of the genre, including Rec, Paranormal Activity, Trollhunter, Cloverfield, Digging Up The Marrow and more. But it has also had its fair share of duds because it is one of the easiest type of movies to make with no budget. So when a found footage short movie comes along I am mildy cautious.

As if knowing it existed wasn’t enough, we now have our first look at the absolutely bonkers B-movie, Angry Asian Murder Hornets, in its first trailer that aims to ensure that 2020 couldn’t get any weirder.
Angry Asian Murder Hornets tells the story of a Californian anthropologist who is desperately attempting to find a way to fight back an invasion of mutated, ridiculously massive murder hornets attacking the population. If it sounds completely wacky, that’s because it absolutely is completely wacky. And as you can tell by the trailer, viewers can expect nothing less than the goofiest, most asinine film since Sharknado – which may very well sound like an exceptionally fun time for those with a love of campy, outrageous B-movies.
The film is nothing if not timely, releasing not long after the very real Asian giant hornet was first spotted in Washington, having migrated somehow from its original home of Asia.

2020 hasn’t been off to the greatest start. With an ongoing pandemic responsible for millions of infections and a quarter million deaths, we really don’t need much else on our plate right now. But that hasn’t stopped one deadly insect from spreading to Washington from its original home of Asia, ensuring that this year only becomes even more stressful.
The Asian giant hornet, known by a far more threatening name of the “murder hornet,” is a species of large flying insects native to Asia. They’re responsible for over 50 human deaths a year in Japan, and they can wipe out a beehive in a staggeringly short period of time while killing upwards of 5 bees per minute. If that doesn’t make you feel a tinge of discomfort, few things probably do.
The species was first spotted in Washington in the final months of 2019, but the hornets are now multiplying in the state,...

Now, listen… I’m very forgiving when it comes to horror as a genre of film. I’m open-minded, especially when it comes to the low-budget end of things, and while I’ve seen some unforgivable dross over the years, I’ve also been witness to some low-budget diamonds that managed to make something extremely entertaining with a very small, or even… at times, non-existent budget. Tooth Fairy (previously called Toof), is a low-budget horror film that introduces us to the legend of an evil tooth fairy whom rips out teeth. A simple concept, and one that could, on paper, lead to something pretty fun. So, how does this fair?

Urban Fears is a horror anthology film from director Nicholas Michael Jacobs (Night), and gives us three stories that are tied together by a prologue and epilogue. The anthology has these links that keep it all similarly toned and gives it a flow, which I do like, and it’s something I get a kick out of when it comes to anthology films.
So, Urban Fears is a micro-budget flick, and the stories we witness are different enough to be interesting but have these little things that lock them together, like I mentioned. Jacob didn’t do a bad job with this concept, and it’s the strongest idea that Urban Fears has going for it. It’s suburban horror, and promoted as such,...
