Rating: Not Rated Stars: Bob Gallagher, LeJon Woods, Caroline Quigley, Kimberly Salditt Poulin, Nicolas Robin, Victoria Fratz Fradkin Writers: Adam Fradkin & Victoria Fratz Fradkin Director: Adam Fradkin Distributor: Epic Pictures/Dread Release Date: September 20, 2024 (theatrical); September 24, 2024 (VOD) BEEZEL does something a bit different with the found footage format. While we do get a reasonable amount of camera p.o.v., the movie plays with different types of cameras and mediums (Super 8mm film, a variety of video formats) and has characters literally finding the footage. BEEZEL takes place in one location, a sprawling Massachusetts house with a large […]Read On »

However, it’s just about impossible to explain what makes it part of that genre without giving the whole game away. Writers/directors Celine Held & Logan George bring us to the East Texas side of Caddo Lake, a bayou that extends into Louisiana […]Read On »
