The lives of a group of teenagers are turned upside down when their town is taken over by sinister forces, in this deconstruction of toxic masculinity in the modern day world… Hahaha, nope. Hungerford is just another cheap found footage zombie film!
Hungerford impresses me on one level, because of it’s production cost. From start to finish, the film cost £23,000 to make and still found time to include some half decent CG and models created by Aardman, which shows what is possible if you truly put your mind to it. It’s just a shame the rest of the film is so aggressively mediocre. The kind of mediocre that irritated me and made me end up disliking the film more than it deserves.

We’re back with another edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes a trailer and release details for Sledge, Cam2Cam, and Night Guards, a review of Hungerford, plus more below:
Sledge Trailer and Release Date Announced: “He didn’t drown. He didn’t burn. He’s just a psychopath with a sledgehammer.
Sledge, a ‘bloody’ good horror-comedy in the tradition of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil and Shaun of the Dead, premieres on VOD September 2nd and DVD on October 7th.
A spoof of the horror genre, and littered with nods and references to fright flicks of yesteryear, the film fixes on a psychopath who not only believes he’s in a movie and video game but that he’s the hero of this story.
“Sledge is a horror comedy that takes a loving poke to the horror classics we...

What if you were taxed with the task of filming every moment of your life? Even weirder... what if your life took an unexpected turn toward evil? Would you still film everything? The folks behind Hungerford obviously will.
Hungerford is directed by Drew Casson from a script he wrote with Jesse Cleverly. Drew Casson, Tom Scarlett, Sam Carter, Georgia Bradley, and Kitty Speed star.
Synopsis
Cowen Rosewell lives with a small group of old friends in a scruffy flat in a small English town. Like many teens leaving school in 2014, there are few prospects or opportunities for people like Cowen, and he has enrolled on a Btec media course as a way of passing the time. His first assignment is to record everything in a week of his life.
At first Cowen dismisses the random acts of violence he witnesses as the business as usual in a small English town.
