Took me long enough to finished writing this for @casualhorrorpod.com, but I watched @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein and I really liked it. We were even lucky enough to have a theater that was only 45 minutes away doing a showing. Just fantastic, imo

What's up people, got to meet the guys who made this one while at Eerie Horror Fest and needed to share this one with the world. Check it out on @casualhorrorpod.com, and more importantly check out the movie if you get a chance. Just a blast front to back.

Hell Van (2022) — Casual Obsession
Delarosa has given us an wonderfully bloody indie horror film with a clear love of Evil Dead 2, and the practical effects that make us all look back on the ’80s with such fondness.

Wrote a review for @casualhorrorpod.com on Black Phone 2! I am aware that some of this reads like I'm a guy who hates fun, but I can't stress enough that I did, in fact, like this movie.

Black Phone 2 Review — Casual Obsession
Scott Derrickson returns with a sequel that, for better or worse, cements this as “A Nightmare On Elm Street, but serious.”

It brings me no joy to say that I didn't like the new Hell House LLC movie. Review live on @casualhorrorpod.com now.

Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025) — Casual Obsession
I feel that Hell House LLC is a borderline masterwork of a found footage film, and it’s devastating to be forced to realize Cognetti seems to have run out of compelling ideas with Lineage.

Oh! It's the last of the Conjuring movies I'm reviewing for @casualhorrorpod.com! Forgot this came out today.
