NataleP-7

With Hillock Haunting, director Ashley Hays Wright delivers a thoughtful, melancholic tale that teeters between drama and horror. The premise is compelling-a grieving family trying to honor their patriarch's final wish-but the execution often feels too restrained. The film excels in tone and atmosphere, with long, quiet moments that build anticipation, yet it rarely capitalizes on them. There are hints of supernatural elements, but they're never fully developed. While the emotional themes of loss and transition are well-handled, horror fans may feel let down by the absence of real suspense or payoff. It's beautifully shot and well-acted, but needed more intensity to truly stand out.

Horse Healing is not your typical drama. It doesn't rush to deliver its message. Instead, it invites the viewer to walk slowly with its characters through the pain of the past and into the light of healing. The film is deeply rooted in Christian teachings and portrays horses as spiritual guides that help people rebuild their faith and emotional strength. Though some may find the pacing too slow, others will appreciate the chance to reflect on the film's themes. It's a film with real heart, made by people who clearly care about faith-based storytelling. A calm, honest, and encouraging movie experience for those looking to be spiritually uplifted.

Bigfoot Blood on the Farm delivers exactly what the title promises - a gritty, grounded take on Sasquatch terror. Directors Ashley Hays Wright and David Owen Wright craft palpable tension through clever use of their rural setting, turning the wide-open farm into a claustrophobic nightmare. The sister protagonists (played with convincing authenticity) elevate what could have been a standard creature feature into a compelling survival story. While the budget constraints show in some technical aspects, the practical effects for Bigfoot himself are surprisingly effective - more animalistic predator than cartoonish monster. The pacing stumbles occasionally between set pieces, but the final act's desperate farmhouse siege delivers white-knuckle tension that makes the wait worthwhile.
