\"frightfest-2016\"<\/a>Normally I get to see a few films from FrightFest through contacts and much later on when they are finally released through VOD or on disk.\u00a0 Sometimes I\u2019m lucky enough to manage to see a few in other places such as festivals and conventions.\u00a0 This year, I got to see 21 of the feature films and I did my best to give each a fair assessment.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a gathering of all of Cinema Crazed\u2019s coverage for FrightFest 2016.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s batch was fun and a bit crazy.\u00a0 Common themes ran through a lot of the titles like cults (Blood Feast, Knucklebones, Crow, etc.), bloody goodness and nudity in the intro (The Evil in Us, Blood Feast, etc,), lots of synth wave\u00a0 music (Beyond the Gates, Let Her Out, etc,), period pieces (Through the Shadow, The Similars, etc,), and more involving guilt, redemption, and insane monsters came back time and again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
