Three siblings are reunited after their father dies. As one of them seems to not want to stick around, the other two find ways of making her.
Werewolves Within (2021)
As a new member of the town Finn is quickly entangled in the drama and fears brought on by a pet’s death and what some think might just be a werewolf.
State of the Cinema Crazed 2021 (Corrected)
While 2021 has been a chaotic year, it’s been a big year for Cinema Crazed. In many ways it’s been great, and in many ways it’s been pretty stressful. One of the constant questions I’m asked by people is “Is it hard to start a blog?” I often tell them no. It’s merely just opening a blog and writing about what you want to write about. However the catch is that when you invest an amount of time and dedication to a blog of your own creation, and it begins to become a success, it requires so much more time and a lot more money.
Cinema Crazed started back in 2003 when we operated on free servers, and in 2005, the official domain was put up. As we grew, our need for more memory and web space arose. And with that requirement, came the need for more money.
Werewolves Within (2021)
Director Josh Ruben has a real knack for taking snowy tundras and creating some prime horror fodder with them. While I didn’t much care for “Scare Me,” he managed to build some interesting tension with just two people in a snowy cabin. With “Werewolves Within,” it’s a bit larger in scale, but still a fantastic peek in to an engaging mystery. Ruben’s film brilliantly mixes Agatha Christie with “The Beast Must Die,” and some of The Coens for good measure.
Fear Street, Part 2: 1978 (2021)
Thankfully, Netflix and Leigh Janiak’s “Fear Street” film series has mostly lived up to its promise, hype and potential, offering a trilogy of films that are entertaining, complex, and steeped heavily in classic horror and folklore. For horror buffs that love horror that revolves around mythology, legends and stories about the past, the “Fear Street” series has managed to deliver two fold with a legend that has managed to carry the films quite well.
Black Widow (2021)
After waiting almost two years (with three delays) for “Black Widow,” there’s something poignant about its entire tone and the time of its release. With Scarlett Johansson leaving the MCU and the series moving on, “Black Widow” is a wonderful epilogue that fills in the holes about Natasha Romanoff once and for all. Natasha was always something of an enigma who we could never really make up our minds about, and the long overdue solo movie gives us the definitive look in to the life of a pretty noble heroine.
The Bootleg Files: Springtime for Clobber
BOOTLEG FILES 773: “Springtime for Clobber” (1957 animated short by the notorious Gene Deitch).
LAST SEEN: On YouTube.
AMERICAN HOME VIDEO: None.
REASON FOR BOOTLEG STATUS: It fell deep into the proverbial cracks.
CHANCES OF SEEING A COMMERCIAL DVD RELEASE: None, thank goodness.
Most film buffs may recall animator Gene Deitch as the inheritor of the Popeye and Tom and Jerry cartoon franchises – as well as being the man responsible for the worst additions to those respective, long-running series. He also created the egregious 1966 animated feature “Alice of Wonderland in Paris,” which I included in my book “The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time.”
