Hi-Fear is the final instalment of the trilogy that started in 2013 with Hi-8 and was followed in 2018 by Hi-Death. These anthologies have been tributes to the glory days of shot-on-video horror and were made by many of the pioneers of that movement. This time out, the framing segment “What Are You Afraid Of?”, written and directed by Brad Sykes from a story by Brad and Josephina Sykes introduces us to Natalie, an artist tasked with creating the splash pages for four tales of horror for the comic Hi-Fear.

Time for a heaping helping of some good old fashioned Sasquatchploitation, kids! The trailer for director Benjamin Cooper's Bigfoot opus, Primitive, is here along with the skinny on how you can catch the flick in Vegas!
From the Press Release
Filmmaker Benjamin Cooper is trekking to Las Vegas to premiere his monster movie, Primitive, on day two of the inaugural Black October Art & Film Invasion taking place at The Sci-Fi Center.
In this horror tale Martin Blaine, a Hollywood effects artist who makes monsters for a living, must confront his own inner demon made flesh before it destroys everyone he comes in contact with. Horror legend Reggie Bannister of the popular Phantasm franchise plays Dr. William Stein, the hypnotist whose unorthodox therapy inadvertently conjures Martin’s Id, and effects wizard Tom Devlin (SyFy Channel's Face-off) created the creature effects.

Movie-making isn't all parading around with Angelina Jolie and accepting Academy Awards. In fact, director Benjamin Cooper is here to tell us that on the low budget end of filmmaking it's all about being shrewd, making good decisions about everything and playing to your strengths. And Cooper is hoping with all this, and a little luck, his film Primitive can turn a profit.
Primitive is a pure creature feature. It's got the beastie with the claws and teeth, as well as the bloody wounds caused by them. Judging by what we've seen, it doesn't look like Cooper holds back too much on the gore. Kudos for that, Benjamin.
Cooper has a sneak preview for his film scheduled for October 8 at the inaugural Black October Art and Film Invasion in Vegas, as well as a limited theatrical run in its hometown of San Luis Obispo beginning on October 20. In the release...

Reggie Bannister has faced everything from hooded dwarves to killer vultures to really tall men and everything in-between. In his latest film titled Primitive, he's getting ready to face off with every cryptozoologist's worst nightmare -- a really pissed off Bigfoot!
In this horror tale Martin Blaine, a Hollywood effects artist who makes monsters for a living, must confront his own inner demon made flesh before it destroys everyone he comes in contact with. Bannister plays Dr. William Stein, the hypnotist whose unorthodox therapy inadvertently conjures Martin’s Id. Dr. Stein demonstrates an internal struggle with demons of his own such as symptoms of Ocd and agoraphobia. In the final act he overcomes his fears and returns to help Martin put the genie back in the bottle.
Director Benjamin Cooper said, "Like most horror fans, Reggie's working class hero from Phantasm is burned into my brain. Dr. Stein on the other hand is alternately quirky,...
