5 Shells (2013)
For the last several years the cinematic landscape has been replete with post-apocalyptic visions of our near future. Some cartoonish, some fanciful, others terrifying a graphic. It seems that the death of Western civilization is on the hearts and minds of film makers and film viewers as well. It’s no wonder given the turbulent times [...]
CineMayhem Film Festival 2013
I was lucky enough to get to attend the first year of the CineMayhem Film Festival in Thousand Oaks, CA. The event took place at the amazing Muvico Theater. Leather seats, elevators, full kitchen and bar. Now that’s what I call a movie theater. The festival was very well organized and the staff was well [...]
CineMayhem comes to Thousand Oaks, CA March 2nd & 3rd!
I love a good film festival and Dread Central has decided to pony up and create their own. Read on for more info: Created as a way to pay homage to and celebrate the spirit of independent filmmaking and those unafraid to take risks with their storytelling, CineMayhem’s diverse line-up includes advanced screenings of two [...]
Taeter City (2012)
Growing up as a budding horror fiend I always wanted to see the goriest movie out there. Too bad I peaked at about 12 seeing Dead Alive uncut thanks to my local mom & pop video store. That didn’t deter me in the hunt though. I’ve seen my share of German gore flicks like The [...]
Jug Face (2013)
Running Toxic Graveyard is pretty awesome. I get to update it when I feel like it with no boss breathing down my neck. I also get fantastic screeners. All in all it’s well worth the time. Jug Face, which recently premiered at Sundance, is also well worth your time. Jug Face is about a rural [...]
The Dark (2012)
The Dark, written by Scott Bradley and Peter Giglio , is my second exposure to the new Indie book label, Ravenous Shadows. The label was created to give exposure to new talented authors who have written short books. Not quite as short as novellas, the books are typically around 200 pages. Reading has become less and [...]
Document of the Dead (2012)
Growing up as a young horror fan, I discovered Dawn of the Dead in those pre-internet days via a friend’s brother. I couldn’t believe what i was watching. It was gory, it was powerful, it was long and it had depth. It was a horror/political/epic/siege film. I loved it. About a decade later the super [...]
Hammer House of Horror
I’m not the biggest fan of Hammer flicks. Sure, once or twice a year the moon aligns with the stars and I feel like watching a creaky old gothic flick with lots of heaving bosoms and excellent scenery chewing, but by and large i’m a kid of the 80s/90s. I do however enjoy horror tv [...]
Elevator (2011)
I have a soft spot for indie flicks that take place in a single room/house/location. From a writing standpoint, it’s really hard to pull off an engaging, entertaining, film with limited characters and locations, hence why you’ll never see Transformers: The Cabin in the Woods. Films of this nature hinge on a believeable script and [...]
