Triply Diseased.
Na deserted city of Eldritch, shrouded in shadows and sinister whispers, lived a man named Victor Blackwell. He was not just an ordinary man; Victor was tormented by something triply diseased: three distinct personalities, each darker than the other. During the day, Victor appeared to be a respectable local history professor. However, as night fell, the first personality emerged. Known as Malachai, this sinister entity revealed a sadistic taste for psychological torture. Victor found himself trapped in his own mind as Malachai tormented the unsuspecting souls of the city. Nights were filled with unsettling sounds. Screams echoed through the dark alleys, but no resident dared to investigate. The city plunged into a silent nightmare as Malachai left his triply diseased mark, toying with the disturbed minds of his victims. In the second phase, the emerging personality was known as Lysander. Victor, now transformed into Lysander, was an obsessive and macabre artist. His secret studio, hidden in the basements of Eldritch, was filled with grotesque works illustrating the perversity of his mind. Paintings depicting mutilations and indescribable horrors adorned the dirty walls. Residents began to notice frequent disappearances, but authorities were powerless against the nebulous nature of Lysander. Fear spread through the city as disturbing works were found in public places, a dark warning of the triply diseased presence plaguing Eldritch. The last personality, known as Moros, was the darkest and most insidious. Victor, now possessed by Moros, became the architect of unimaginable disasters. Every meticulously planned action aimed to sow chaos and despair among the inhabitants. Moros was not content with tormenting minds alone; he sought to destroy the very structure of the city. One night, under Moros's control, Victor orchestrated a nefarious ritual in the heart of Eldritch. Shadows danced around a macabre altar as a black mist enveloped the city. Darkness spread like a plague, consuming everything in its path. Eldritch turned into a living nightmare, reflecting Victor's triply diseased mind. The remaining residents faced horrors beyond comprehension as the three diseased personalities clashed in a symphony of madness. Malachai, Lysander, and Moros fought for control, leaving the city on the brink of abyss. At the climax of the endless night, the three personalities converged into a single monstrous entity that rose above Eldritch. Victor, trapped in his own body, watched helplessly as the triply diseased being unleashed indescribable chaos. Eldritch became a macabre ruin, forgotten in the annals of horror. The once-thriving city was now shrouded in eternal darkness, its population transformed into empty shadows of terror. Victor, imprisoned in his own mind, wandered through the wreckage, a grim testimony to the triply diseased insanity that had consumed his existence. The echoes of lamentation reverberated through the desolate alleys of Eldritch as the city remained a monument to the triply diseased terror that emerged from the depths of Victor Blackwell's tormented mind.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Boarderlands' (2013). Content Warning.
Can I just start off by saying the Shakey Camera style of filming was completely un-fucking-necessary? Imagine the money they wasted on crappy webcams and headsets when they could have just had one or two cameras shooting the whole film. And there were basically no other FX outside of the cinematography so why did they need it? Are filters and lighting honestly so expensive that an indie film would rather burn money on a gimmick? In my review of Alien Abduction (2014), I explain when Shakey Camera is appropriate and in my review of The Taking of Debora Logan (2014) (TDL), I explain when it's not. It boils down to this. Was it necessary because you couldn't afford to make the practical FX look good, or was it necessary because you had no talent for creating atmosphere? In this case, how hard would it be to make such a beautiful set look good with filters and lighting? Again, there were really no practical FX to hide with the Shakey Camera so why go that rout?

THE HAGWITCH of COTTER'S FOREST
I suppose I am writing this as a confession, though it’s the same thing I told everyone back then. No one believed me thirty years ago, so I don’t expect anyone to believe me now, but I don’t care. There’s a sense of release and relief in telling this story one final time before I do what needs to be done.
