A crowd funding campaign has began on Indiegogo for practical FX Creature feature "Moggy Creatures". Creature Features, once a mainstay of the film industry and reaching their peak of imagination and execution in the 1980's, have in recent years become known as formulaic movie-by-budget investments and CGI flop-fest disappointments. Moggy Creatures is a hand-crafted film utilizing quality filmmaking techniques, from writing to execution, that serves as an injection of new life to a beloved but relegated genre.
"A couple takes in a stray cat, hoping to rebuild their marriage... only to have it spawn a litter of evil monsters." Moggy Creatures is not only a creature feature that utilizes practical FX, but a sincere horror film.

An ultra-low budget film, made with only one camera and shot in just 21 days, ‘’Pitchfork’’ has struck a chord with film fans, horror buffs and filmmaking aficionados alike.
Despite its low- budget and guerrilla-style construction, ‘’Pitchfork’’ not only looks like a multimillion dollar, big studio movie but has been covered by major Hollywood publications like The Hollywood Reporter, L.A Times, Indie Wire and Deadline.

Shawn Burkett's creature campfire nightmare "Don't Fuck In The Woods" is an indie celebration of modern classic horror. The film stars Brandy Mason, Scott Gillespie, and Brittany Blanton. As a low budget, indie film fan, "Don't Fuck In The Woods" is one that I have been excited about since it was first mentioned as a project a few years back.
Synopsis: A group of friends head out into the wilderness for some campfire fun. As the gratuitous pleasure begins so does the carnage. The friends are taken out one by one when man versus wild proves deadly.
"Don't Fuck In The Woods" held high expectations for me, a strong attention getting title, fun classic premise, and indie freedom of production begged to be noticed. The film falters somewhat with rough dialog delivery from most of the film's cast, and an almost aimless since of direction. The characters struggled to really come alive. A larger push for cohesion between the cast and story should have been inforced.
The effects and gore where somewhat disappointing. Most of the slaughter happens off screen and what little that does fall on the camera's eye is barely teasing of its gory nature. The sound track and creature design were, however, very pleasing to me. I enjoyed the "Feast" like monster and animalistic cruelty of the thing stalking the woods.
Overall "Don't Fuck In The Woods" does little to excite considering the powerfull impression driven home by the title. I will say that the final girl was commanding and impressive as a strong female lead, the creature and the mysterious nature of it all is cool, and the movie didn't totally suck. There are a few good highlights in "Don't Fuck In The Woods". Don't go into this one expecting anything major. Just kill some time with a low budget creature feature from a cool indie company, Concept Media.
