Teddiscare began life as another Winnie the Pooh horror film, but after “receiving a “cease and desist” from another company who made a killer teddy bear movie based of [sic] a popular character with a copyright that had recently entered public domain, we consulted with an amazing lawyer”. Said lawyer told them a larger company was about to start suing anyone who used the character, so they decided to just change the name. I wonder how brilliant they think that lawyer is now that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 is going into production as well as a killer Bambi film and Disney hasn’t unleashed their lawyers?
Teddiscare opens with news on the radio about a worker falling into the machinery at a toy factory and bits of his body being stuffed into hundreds of teddy bears.

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
The law of horror movie franchises is that eventually, without fail, you go to space.
It’s fitting, then, that the final outing for prolific Amityville writer/director Mark Polonia takes the “franchise” into the furthest reaches of space in the year 3015.
It’s been a few entries since Polonia’s last outing. He’s the creative responsible for Amityville Island, Amityville Exorcism, and Amityville Death House. Of these, Island has some amusingly self-aware bits, Death House has a great spider walk finale, and…well, the less said about Exorcism the better.
Where does Amityville in Space fall? Alas, it skews closer to Exorcism than the others. Not helping matters is that this latest film shares a character – Father Benna (Jeff Kirkendall...

What would Christmas be without a Yule Log? To make sure we don’t have to worry about it, Mark Polonia has followed up such wonderful seasonal films as Feeders 2: Slay Bells and Sister Krampus with Yule Log, a festive tale of witchery and vengeance from beyond the grave.
The film begins with a lecture on witches and witch hunting, concluding with the tale of Drucinda of the Woods who was nailed to a tree and left for the ravens. But not before casting an unspecified curse on the woods. In the present, Robin survives a car crash only to have Drucinda cast a spell on her.
Unaware of this, Charles and Roy are about to pick up their buddy Earl. He recently lost his wife and they don’t want him...

Somehow I managed to miss Amityville in Space when it was released earlier this year. Doubly odd as it’s not only an Amityville film, it was directed by Mark Polonia who co-wrote it with Aaron Drake. This is Polonia’s fourth trip to Amityville after Amityville Exorcism, Amityville Death House and most recently Amityville Island. Practice makes perfect, right?
Father Benna walks through a flurry of CGI snow toward 112 Ocean Avenue. He tells the reporters he’s here for the ultimate showdown between good and evil. He also suggests they leave immediately. This proves to be good advice as his attempt at exorcising the demon goes wrong and the house is propelled into space.
Flash forward to the year 3015 and the deep space cruiser Wyoming is on a mission to...
