The Blood in the Snow Horror Film Festival is one of my favorite festivals of the year. After covering it last year, I got to review some of the best shorts and features I’ve ever seen. Now I’m here to say that the same can be said for BITS 2018. …

Deadsight is a movie from Director Jesse Thomas Cook (The Hoard 2018) and is about a partially blind man named Ben Neilson (Adam Seybold: Let Her Out 2017) and the very pregnant police officer Mara Madigan (Liv Collins Cook: Pandora’s Box). The film opens with Ben in the back of an ambulance, …

Supergrid is a clever combination of Mad Max meets the plague apocalypse. It’s a fast paced, action-packed story of two estranged brothers taking on the notorious, disease-infested ‘grind.’ Deke (Marshall Williams) and Jesse (Wolfcop’s Leo Fafard) are sure to lure you into the Grid Life! With its unapologetic, remorseless characters, …

It’s been ten years since their last hit single, “Backfire,” and as such, they are in desperate need to do something new. Songwriter/guitarist Eric (Rob …

From the brilliant minds of writer Tony Burgess and directors Jesse Thomas Cook and Matt Wiele comes the uproarious mockumentary film The Hoard, a hilarious look at modern reality television that takes a wildly horror twist.
