My Review Of “Eternal Damn Nation”

“Eternal Damn Nation” is directed by Alan Del Tufo and stars Jade Elysan, Alan Del Tufo, Carson Dougherty, Wyatt Kuether. The film is a fantasy, action horror that plays out the epic between good and evil over man’s soul. The plot follows , a troubled young woman, who on her 24th birthday discovers a demonic plot for her body and soul.

The story for “Eternal Damn Nation” is grandiose and over-thought but complete. It has the feel of some of the later “Prophecy” films but without the cast or budget. The vision and direction in “Eternal Damn Nation” is done well enough, just not to the level it needed to sell the story arc the writer was going for. The weak acting, poor timing between dialog & action, used for character development, created an awkwardness for me as a viewer. Everything came off a bit more like episodic melodrama with no real soul.

The special effects are basic low-grade CGI effects used mostly in vid games or television series so don’t expect much when watching “Eternal Damn Nation”. The film is a low budget film so I knew the effects were not going to be a big selling point, as most fans of indie cinema will also understand. I think with the weak, and stereotyped performances the CGI was becoming a bit more annoying to watch. “Eternal Damn Nation” is not a film that would watch again but the concept and vision is enough to make we look forward to the creative people behind this one's future projects.

Trailer Released For “The Expedition”

The official trailer has finally landed for creature thriller “The Expedition”. The film is directed by Adam Spinks and stars Ben Loyd Holmes, Sarah Mac, Neil Newbon, Daniel Caren, Rebecca Kiser, Ernesto Cantu, Ross O’Hennessy, Simon Burbage,  Dolores Reynals. “The Expedition” is shaping up to be a pretty cool looking film that should do well as long as the CGI holds up, its found footage so everything should work wonderfully with this one. I’m game-anyway!

Deep in the Amazon jungle a research team lead by a respected Professor embark on an expedition to protect vulnerable and endangered species. After a series of strange events their superstitious guides abandon them and the team choose to remain deep in the jungle, dedicated to the project… but as night falls in the camp they begin to realize that all is not as it seems, and that they are in the hunting ground of a predator…. one they never could have expected.

Newcomers to the slasher series are Jacqui Holland (My Best Friend’s Girl), Alisha Seaton (The Fourth Kind), Maria Olsen (Paranormal Activity 3), Monique Parent (Profane Exhibit), and Hannah Landberg (Rabid Love).

When asked for details on the sequel, writer/director Joston Theney replied, “Well, it’s certainly a darker, grittier film than the first. We learned a lot from our first go ‘round. There’s no CGI blood splatters. No short cuts in SFX. No deeply, intertwined love trysts. This is a bloodletting! This film WILL live up to it’s name – Overkill. Guaranteed.”

What the hell does this all have to do with now? “Demonica”-that’s what!

The film is from the team that gave us the award winning horror short “Teddy” as well as their first feature film “Don’t Go To The Reunion”. The film is a tribute to the glory days of holiday horror, Dismembering Christmas can best be described as Friday the 13th meets Black Christmas.

Cool Images Of Slasher From “Headless”

A crowd funding campaign is happening right now for the retro-slasher “Headless”. The film comes from the twisted minds behind 2012’s “Found”. I recently reported about the campaign earlier which you can read here. Well the crowd funding is still ongoing but check out these really cool images of the killer scene in “Headless” that will dominate the feature adaptation.

Bloomington, IN – The ten-minute piece of footage so controversial it got Found banned in Australia is now in development as a feature film. Due to overwhelming demand by fans of the original movie, Forbidden Films – the creative team behind Found - is collaborating with Gentleman Monster Productions to bring to life the complete, bloody story of Headless.


Found, the DIY horror darling that debuted on the festival circuit in 2012, made its mark on the indie scene as a boyhood tale with a bent toward the macabre. Based on the novel by Todd Rigney, Found built a blood-soaked masterpiece on a shoestring budget of just $8,000, going on to win 15 Best Feature awards, as well as numerous other awards for acting, directing, and cinematography.

Fans of Found will remember Headless as the nasty little peek into a slasher movie that horrified two young friends with its amped-up blood and guts, its parade of topless women, and its iconic, machete-wielding villain. The feature-length version of this intense, gore-filled fantasy brings the gruesome and the psychedelic together in one gorgeous, grotesque, ultra-hardcore horror party.

Synopsis:
The body count climbs as a skull-faced killer battles his inner demons in this retro-slasher epic.
Status:

Headless is currently in the development stages, and has just launched its Kickstarter campaign, which runs through July 21, 2014 and features comprehensive reward packages ranging from a special thanks on Headless’ official website (donations of $1 or more) to the opportunity to “Be A Victim” ($500) - a chance to appear on-screen as a mutilated corpse left by the Headless Killer. Donors at the $1,000+ level will receive an Executive Producer credit in the main titles of the film and on IMDB. Contributions in-between include pre-order options for DVD, Blu-Ray, and limited-edition VHS copies of the feature (provided by Vultra Video).

"Twisted Illusions" Hitting VHS This Sunday Night From Sub Rosa Studios

Tim Ritter's cult classic, "Twisted Illusions" returns to VHS this Sunday night in another limited edition release from Sub Rosa Studios. This anthology has been re-released before but in an "Ultimate Edition" which combined segments from it with "Twisted Illusions 2". But fans have been clamoring for a solo release of the first movie, so we've responded. This release will feature the remastered first movie alone, and will come in the usual clam shell, big box and deluxe forms. The clam and big box editions will include the movie on VHS, new artwork from Andrew Peters, a 4x6 photo card, and 11x17 mini poster and a DVD-R for this remastered cut.












The deluxe will feature all that, plus a bonus DVD-R of the original release, before Tim remastered it, which you'll see is a bit rough around the edges but gives you a better idea of where Tim and Joel were as filmmakers at the time the movie was made back in the mid 80's. The deluxe edition also comes with the bonus lego character (clam shell and big box buyers can add the lego character in for an additional price). The release will be limited to just 30 units.

My Review Of “Dracula The Impaler"

“The Impaler” is a modern resurrection of Dracula. The film is directed by Derek Hockenbrough and stars Diana Angelson, Christian Gehring, Christina Collard, Teo Celigo, Katelynn Derengowski, Marcienne Dwyer, Rocco Nugent, Mark Jacobson, Gregory Lee Kenyon and Mindy Robinson. The plot centers on a group of friends Euro-trip to the home of the legendry, Eternal Prince,  Count Dracula’s caslte.

The story created in this “return to Gothic horror” is a decent enough concept, but some of the more detailed portions of the story fell flat. I never really felt a connection to the characters or the vision that Hockenbrough was going for in “The Impaler”. The story arc kept a mediocre drama but there were no real thrills and the whole atmospheric suspense was missing in this film. The characters were two dimensional and sort-of cliché, even though, it is a major hang-up within the genre, acceptable as long as the cast can sell it. Unfortunately the cast never really convinced me of who they were in “The Impaler”.

The special effects in this one try to pull off the blood and guts nightmare but a few scenes failed to do so. The ones that did work created a decent practical effect. The only real problem and major irritation I have with “The Impaler” is that “if you are gonna make a movie featuring Dracula then you bloody well better have Dracula in your film!” Only two maybe three scenes even had the guy on screen. Just a lot of folklore and fabrications that were incorrect and blasphemous to the Dracula mythos, filled with inaccuracies about the Dark Prince. I didn’t really care for “The Impaler” , found the film’s inability to provide both horror or enough vampire in a film labeled horror and about vampires.
