I love to help support indy and low-budget films.  As an aspiring filmmaker myself, I have made a few low/no budget films, and I realize how hard it can be. So, I always like to help spread the word if I can.  I was recently sent a press release about a new film called VOICES FROM THE GRAVE.  This film is an anthology consisting of three stories, one of which was adapted from a...

CHAINEDDirected by Jennifer LynchDistributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment  I knew nothing about this film when it arrived in my mailbox for review.  I had never even heard of it, so to be honest, I wasn't really excited about seeing it.  I usually believe that if you haven't heard of a film, there is usually a reason why.  If it was good, I would have heard about it right? ...

  I really like the first two SCARY MOVIE films.  I actually like part 2 better than the first one.  Then along came part 3 and it was pretty horrible, and then to be quite honest, I totally forgot there even was a part 4.  Well, I had no clue SCARY MOVIE 5 was being made, but I saw the trailer the other night in the theater while there to watch DJANGO UNCHAINED (which was a...

 Check out this cool creature feature film I ran came across called INSECTULA.  It looks like a film that plays homage to all the 50's and 60's creature features.   I spoke with the director, Michael Peterson, over email and he says the film is still in production with hopes to have a finished product by Spring of this year.   Here is the brief plot synopsis from the...
