We’re getting to the saturation point of reviewing. 24 reviews in 23 days. I’m beat, trying to get this wrapped up so I can take on the other writing stuff I’m putting off. Luckily, the films continue to show bright spots in the genre, perhaps none more so than Damien McCarthy’s sophomore feature Oddity, which was crafted at the same time as his great debut Caveat we covered in a past marathon. It takes the “Monkey’s Paw” approach with a wicked tale of deceit and murder, and just enough supernatural terror to be the legit first film to make me jump and scream in this marathon. I’ll take it.

Hooptober 8.0 – Caveat (2020)

Being Film #10 for Hooptober 2021

Horror proves time and again to be a great testing ground for talent. The debut from writer/director/editor Damien Mc Carthy, Caveat is a tense and frightening low-budget film that may feel a little like a short film concept stretched to feature length, but there is more than enough meat on its bones to provide some serious scares…starting with that damn rabbit.

Cinema Dual (TEST SITE)

Examining a life through the media we consume. In other words, I’m reviewing all of my physical music media in alphabetical order, one day at at a time. Except when I don’t, as has been the case for the past few years. Still, we march onwards…Coffee essential, but not mandatory
