Review: ‘Pigskin,’ a Gorgeous Homage to Body Horror

Any film, feature or short, that features music from The Chromatics and Desire is okay in my book (and maybe that’s why I love the soundtrack to Drive so much). Pigskin, the Florida State University thesis film from Jake Hammond and Nicola Newton, is a 13 minute short about the pains of growing up– literally– and body image issues. Our young protagonist, Laurie Vernon (Isadora Leiva), appears to b...[Read More]

Review: Short Film ‘Mirrored,’ Inventive Horror Comedy

From director Ryan Shovey– this week’s Featured FearMaker— comes the very funny and quirky short film Mirrored, subtitled “A Demonic Horror Comedy,” written and produced by Nicole Bird. What starts off as a simple enough service when our “hero,” Dylan (Aaron Jay Rome), has a mirror installed in his bathroom, which soon turns into a living nightmare for the gaming slacker who’s only current preoccu...[Read More]

Review: ‘Downstairs’ is a Campy Film with A Great Lead in Sam Boxleitner

Man, oh man, do I love campy films and better yet, a purposefully campy film. Such is the case with Downstairs, directed by Lee Boxleitner, who has a role in the film, and written along with his brother Sam Boxleitner, the star of the film. Flip Schubbers (Sam Boxleitner) is a night security guard at an artist’s loft with a shady past. In the very beginning, we witness a, or possibly multiple, sui...[Read More]

“President’s Day” Makes A Farce Out Of Holiday Horror

While slashers and demonic spirits have been cornerstones in the horror pillars, recent decades have proven just how terrifying holidays can be.

FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL Review: ‘Atmo HorroX,’ A Bizarre and Psychedelic Nightmare

An attempt to concisely unpack, or even describe, Atmo HorroX would be an inexcusable exercise in redundancy that in no capacity of the written word would benefit this film. Atmo HorroX is a sensory experience, a sumptuously polychromatic psychedelic trip into the absurd and the nightmarish, one to be witnessed through careful and focused attention. Words could not possibly evoke the vision of wri...[Read More]

Review: ‘Valley of Ditches’ A Sparse and Minimalist Achievement

Minimalist film, Valley of Ditches, from director and co-writer Christopher James Lang is a deceivingly simple and raw experience about survival and the brutality of our existence. We follow a young woman named Emilia (Amanda Todisco, also co-writer) who’s left for dead in a ditch under the desert heat, along with the dead body of her boyfriend, who was killed in front of her by a sadistic bible-t...[Read More]

Review: “Green Room” – Jeremy Saulnier

Green Room takes place in the rain drenched backwoods and dreary melancholy of the Pacific Northwest. Desperate for cash, the punk band The Ain’t Rights take whatever gigs they can while on the road, even if it means taking a show deep in the woods at a joint that harbors an enclave of skinheads. The Ain’t Rights are Pat (the late Anton Yelchin), Reece (Joe Cole), Sam (Alia Shawkat), and Tiger (Ca...[Read More]

Feature Review: “Lilith’s Awakening”

By J. Carlos Menjivar From Brazilian director Monica Demes comes a re-imagining of the Bram Stoker classic, Dracula. This time titled Lilith’s Awakening, the film deals with complex themes contrasting the much more concrete source material. While the former dedicates itself in exploring dark and unknown forces the latter focuses on gender, concerned with the repressed role of women in society. The...[Read More]
