Starring DJ Perry, Anne Gauthier, Issa Litton
Directed by Noel Tan

Well, here we are again.  Today I'm reviewing the first found-footage style movie I've watched in a little while.  While there are a few FF movies that aren't so great, I've always been a fan of the style overall.  Darkest Night  was just released last month, so I took it upon myself to see how it fares.  With a budget of approximately 125k, and filmed in the Philippines, it sounded like it had potential.  Let's get to it, shall we?

Greetings once again horror fiends.  Today I'll be going in a very low-budget direction.  I'll be talking about at An American Ghost Story, directed by Derek Cole.  Filmed on a meager budget of approx $10,000, and filmed in Cole's own house, I was curious to see how effective it was at delivering the scares.  So allow me once again to fill you in on what happens, and what I think about what happens.

Greetings and salutations.   I only recently came across Splinter, and the synopsis seemed pretty simple, yet interesting.  Looking into it further I noticed it won several awards at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival, so naturally my interest was piqued.  So let's dive in and see if it actually earned its accolades.
