Zombieworld Review
Anyone who pays any kind of attention to the horror genre already knows about the V/H/S and The ABCs of Death franchises, but there is a brilliant anthology film that I fear is going under too many people’s radars. Produced by Jesse Baget and featuring work by a multitude of directors, Zombieworld is gory as hell and an all out blast!
Like the other anthology series I already mentioned, Zombieworld features numerous directors tackling their own short films, which are [...]
What is Near Me Shall Become Mine
Beyond the Grave Review
Writer/director Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro has a bright future in the horror genre. If the name doesn’t sound familiar, hopefully I can sway you to check out his film Beyond the Grave aka Porto Dos Mortos.
This film is a fantastic take on many horror sub-genres with a western vibe. Relentless and violent, the pace is astounding as well as the cinematography and editing. Most indie films tend to not focus so much on the bread and butter, they [...]

Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard Review
It’s hard to get excited for zombie movies these days. At this point, we’ve all seen so many, and sadly, a lot of the time, the films turn out to be really bad. Fortunately for fans of the undead, there are still filmmakers out there that can breathe life into this over-saturated sub-genre. One of the latest to see a home video release is Harrison Smith’s Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard.
Zombie Killers tells the story of a small fracking [...]

The Demon's Rook Review
I’m really starting to believe that indie filmmakers have the most fun, when working on a film. Without any restrictions from major studio execs or higher-ups, anything can be said and done and nothing needs to be held back. One new film which shows the exact type of fun I’m talking about is The Demon’s Rook, written and directed by and starring James Sizemore.
Young Roscoe is visited almost nightly by an ancient wizard monk named Dimwos. Dimwos abducts [...]
What if I Can End This?
The Sky Has Fallen Review
I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of horror. I’ve seen it all and I’m always on the look out for indie directors who make me feel the same thing I did when I watched The Evil Dead for the first time. It’s been a few months since Doug Roos film The Sky Has Fallen came into my possession. For some reason, I put this film on the back burner and nearly forgot about it. After an email [...]

Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead Review
After watching Dead Snow and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, it is clear to see that director Tommy Wirkola is heavily influenced by the work of Sam Raimi. Combining comedy and horror has been done plenty of times before and by a bunch of different filmmakers, but there are profound style similarities that can be seen in both Raimi and Wirkola’s work. Dead Snow had over-the-top gore and hilarious unexpected humor. Multiply those attributes by five and that’s what [...]
