Check Out Joe Magna’s Ode To Giallo Cinema. It’s Killer
I’ll be honest, when it comes to Giallo films, I know next to nothing. I’ve seen Dario Argento’s Suspiria, but that’s about it. While my personal experience, or lack thereof, isn’t exactly up to par; writer, director, horror virtuoso Joe Magna made himself a Giallo inspired short film, 13 Doors. The film stars Juliet Jones and Cimcie Nichols 13 Doors tells the vague story about a young lady receiv...[Read More]
Review: “Nina Forever” The Darkest Of Romances
The darkest of romances make for the best romance merely for the fact that they eschew all the saccharine pulp that has been the theme in many classic romantic pieces.

Who needs sweeping epics of grand romantic gestures when dark pieces of romance like Edgar Allan Poe‘s Annabe...[Read More]
Review: Mickey Keating’s “Darling”
From the moment Darling begins– with its gorgeous black and white cinematography romantically and eerily capturing the beauty of New York architecture– the film captivates, enthralls, and takes you on a baroque and strange journey into a descent through madness with style, flair, and unmitigated tour-de-force. The film feels like a long lost film from the 1960s that has only just been discovered. ...[Read More]

Review: 100 Lucky Fans Can Own “Hank Boyd Is Dead” On DVD
Brooklyn based writer and director Sean Melia (short films You Don’t Know Me and The Administrator) purportedly made his debut feature film in just eight days on a very minuscule budget. Hank Boyd is Dead may have been crafted under the auspices of a micro-budget– using Broadway actors, and resources readily at hand to the director– but the production value here is incredible. Looking nothing like...[Read More]
