Something I admire about the independent world of film is the freedom of artistic self-expression and the chances these filmmakers are able to take that may be too risky for studio films. Many individuals involved in indie film work are driven by passion and their need to create. When this …

Possessed vehicles and haunted vessels are nothing new in horror cinema. Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) took us aboard a spaceship from Hell in Paul Anderson’s Event Horizon (1997).
