Slices of Life (2010) Directed by: Anthony G. Sumner Starring: Deneen Melody, Toya Turner, Kaylee Williams, Galen Schloming, Thurston Hill, Alan Rowe Kelly, Marv Blauvelt, Gene Hodson Review by Marc Patterson If you’re at all involved in the “horror scene”, especially in or around Chicago, then there’s almost no possible way you’ve been able to [...]

by Marc Patterson Count yourself amongst one of the first to lay your eyes on the debut trailer for CUT. CUT is the latest feature from Wolfgang Meyer (15 Till Midnight, Song of the Shattered) and Joe Hollow (Song of the Shattered). It features a mind-boggling who’s who of horror, from large scale production veterans [...]

by Marc Patterson Just moments ago we got word from our good friend Tara Cardinal of a new interesting project she’s producing called The Sessionist. It’s described as a film “in the vein of Juno”, a rather interesting choice of comparison when it comes to the world of horror. Even more interesting as it mixes [...]

Hora (The Whore) Directed and written by Reinert Kiil Starring: Isabel Vibe, Jørgen Langhelle, Kenneth Falkenberg Review by Marc Patterson Warning: Hora presents some pretty hardcore, disturbing and fucked up shit. It’s got bits that tonally remind of me of Lucker the Necrophageous, which is perhaps a not so great a comparison beyond the fact [...]

by Cory J Udler This week I’m not going to bitch about reviewers or verbally sodomize distributors. Instead I’m going to focus on an event last weekend and the people who made it incredibly memorable. John Pata, the director of Better Off Undead, put together the first ever Oshkosh Horror Film Festival at the Time [...]

by Cory J Udler So I promised Marc, and all of you, that eventually I would start to spit a little more venom than in the first month of columns. This should prove to be the one I have promised for a while. When you make your own film, and choose to distribute it yourself, [...]

by Cap’n Psycho Billy Word on the street is all you flatfoots in Chi town are fucked. Demon’s have taken the area by storm and if you’ve ever seen Phantasm, you know what that leads to. Me? I’m going to batten down the hatches and get ready to push out to sea if you all [...]

by Cory J. Udler Welcome back, piggies. Thank God for quick dissolve lyme! That 2 dollar whore I shoved in the trunk last week is melting away nicely under the house. The dog is suspicious about the smell, but the neighbors haven’t said anything yet. If you’re reading this on September 17th, 2010 then I [...]

by Marc Patterson Last week was Labor day, so we a nice relaxing long weekend around here. That might be confusing to a few of you, but even psycho killers need some down time. However, we’re back this week and with nearly twice as much indie news. We’ve also moved this weekly feature to Saturday’s. [...]

by Cory J. Udler So as some of you may or may not know, the sequel to my film Incest Death Squad is premiering live and free online September 17th at 9:00pm Central time at HorrorSociety.com. Last year, Incest 1 premiered to a sold out crowd at a theatre in Madison, Wisconsin as part of [...]

by Marc Patterson Making movies isn’t an easy task. It’s time consuming, expensive, and then your film gets tossed out to a bunch of curmudgeonly critics and arm chair reviewers to do with it what they will. It’s part of the reason we’ve been taking ourselves to task, making sure that we’re giving independent films [...]

Enter the Dark Dir: Todd Miro Review by Marc Patterson What do you get when you put a couple of guys in a haunted suburban house full of demonic beings, possessed children’s toys, and a couple of handheld cameras? Well, if you’re Todd Miro you get Enter the Dark, a 17 minute short film that [...]

by Marc Patterson Adam Wingard is one of the few directors I’ve made a point to support at every turn, despite the fact that the majority of his films lean too much towards “art house” for the likings of most horror junkies. I really enjoyed Pop Skull, (review here), a phenomenal psychological horror film shot [...]

Editors Note: Cory J. Udler, director of such disgusting and horrifying cinema as Incest Death Squad, and Incest Death Squad 2 has, as those demons from hell softly beckoned, joined us. We’ve been talking to Cory for a bit and he exhibits a punk rock spirit that encapsulates true independence in horror. I reached out [...]

by Marc Patterson It’s Friday and that means it’s time for another indie horror round-up. This ongoing feature attempts to shed some light on all the great shit that’s happening outside the churn and burn studio system by focusing on the guys and gals who are pouring their blood, guts, and wallets into carving out [...]

by Marc Patterson Good God, we have a crazy array of announcements this week! The madness doesn’t stop, and as we hurtle towards Halloween the insanity will only get more insane. It’s a plethora of indie horror crazy that will make your head spin like Linda Blair. We’ve got stuff from Breaking Glass Pictures, Mike [...]

She currently has more than half a dozen independently produced films under her belt, with several more lined up for this year. She’s a model, a ballet dancer, and an actress who does her [...]
