IFC Midnight is killing it with their releases this year, so when I heard about Trespassers (formerly known as Hell Is Where The Home Is), I was definitely intrigued. However, home invasion movies are a dime a dozen, and it often feels like once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. …

When I got asked to check out the highly anticipated horror thriller, BLIND, I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into it. This film has so many of my favorite indie actors in it and the storyline really drew me in. Losing your eyesight suddenly would be hard for anybody. …

Hunting For Justice is a short film from Sick & Twisted Cinema’s Thomas Smith, who also worked on the special effects and helped produce Drew Pizzo’s film, Back Road (read my review here). I’m not usually one for short films, as they always feel like they end right as things start …

Back Road is the directorial debut of Andrew Pizzo, which is being shown in a fully X-rated, uncut version. When I was initially asked if I had any interest in checking this out, I was caught off guard. People still make X-rated films? After the initial shock, I said, “What the …

Bolstering a budget of which most shoestring indie films could only dream of, this feature’s financial backing still falls significantly below the average …

It is imperative for any series pilot to captivate its audience, leaving little room for error. In his upcoming series, The Orpheus Protocol, Filmmaker Gene Blalock (The Nightmare Gallery 2019) does this and more in just 12 short minutes. Luring you in with an interrogation by Homeland Security on a …

The first short I took on for Cinepocalypse was The Follower. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as all I had to go on was the title. I usually go into movies pretty blind as I’m afraid of spoilers, whether they come in the description or the trailer. With a …

When I first watched The Hart-Break Killer Death-scort Services‘ Sean Donohue’s (read our interview with him here) film reminded me quite a bit of Richie Moore’s Who’s Watching Oliver? (2018 – read our review here). The similarities between the two main characters are astonishing. The ones I quickly noticed from the …
