OK, so a story about Harley Quinn may not be “horror” in the purest sense; however, seen as he’s meant to be seen, how many of you Fellow Fans out there could say that her paramour, the Joker himself, couldn’t be categorized as horrific? Given that, it’s not too much of a leap to say […]
Pills (A Short by Dark Hearts Productions) Richard Russell So, I didn’t have a lot of background on this flick, but was excited to give it a watch as I have heard of Dark Hearts Productions, and they have put out some good shorts in the past. The short starts with the lead (Russell) clutching […]
So…you’re one of those types that hits the streets hours before the sun makes its way up over the horizon, getting in that morning run for the sake of your daily cardio before you begin the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life. The streets are dark, the air is cool…there’s almost no traffic in […]
When a flick comes across your radar titled Soccer Moms In Peril, you pretty much have to check it out. Those of us that revel in horror films, with all their B-flick and low-budget T & A idiosyncrasies, know that any film with that moniker would be, worst case, something to at least get a chuckle or two […]
Have you ever had one of those times where you did something, and couldn’t quite figure out why you did it? Said something you immediately thought better of, or tapped out a song on the steering wheel before you realized you were doing it? Sure ya have; all of us have. The subconscious is a […]
Fatal Pictures and writer/director Richard Powell (Worm, Familiar) nail it again with the brilliantly disturbing short film HEIR. This short film is disturbing in different ways. It’s certainly got the FX that we have come to love and enjoy in their films, but HEIR takes on a deeper, creepier, more emotional turn in this one. […]
Official Synopsis: The city is quiet; the streets, deserted. It doesn’t much feel like Halloween, and yet four young trick-or-treaters – a Ghost, a Devil, a Grim Reaper and a Witch – make their way through the night, door to door and house by house, gathering up an unlikely harvest of kindness amid the devastated […]
A good short film is a quick glimpse into a world all it’s own; the short filmmaker, then, has a pretty steep task of selling that world to you in a short amount of time. Such a filmmaker can’t take anything for granted, and must make every aspect in their film resonate in some fashion […]
CLUSTER is a hard hitting short horror film by writer director D. Ryan Mowry. With all short films, it’s hard to review without giving to much away. What I can say is it’s a surreal interpretation of what it feels like to deal with knee-dropping headaches, and this is conveyed very well with no dialogue. […]
I think most of you out there would agree with me when I say that the lion’s share of horror flicks that we sit down to, we can typically deduce a pretty good guess as to the general direction it’s going to go within the first third of the film. By and large, our favorite genre has a tendency to be […]
Horror films, at their core, should always seek to find that place in our subconscious that we recall from our youth; that primal, unjaded place in the fertile imagination that only a child can have. Few things are more frightening than that faint noise in the darkness heard from beneath the covers; this comes, of course, after mom and dad have […]
The short film (as some of you have heard me say ad nauseum) is, in my opinion, one of the most overlooked and underrated forms of the filmmaker’s art. It takes a lot of talent in a multitude of areas to take an idea and communicate that idea to others in the way you want […]
