"Something's not right... and I can feel it." Gravitas has unveiled the trailer for an indie horror movie titled Thirst, marking the directorial debut of musician / filmmaker Eric Owen – best known as the drummer with alternative rock duo Black Pistol Fire. Yet another new insomnia-related project (also check out Still Up from Apple TV+). In Thirst, insomnia spreads in a small town, causing fear and panic. As the situation becomes dire, two couples find salvation on an abandoned ranch – until nefarious characters descend upon the land, claiming it as their own. As always happens in these kind of apocalyptic films. After experiencing water problems in Austin, Owen says he was inspired to write this script. "I thought 'what if the water was what gave us insomnia and we didn’t know it?' and this set me on my path to writing Thirst." The film stars Brian Villalobos, Michael Gmur,...

Last Girl Standing is an interesting diversion from “final girl” norms, forgoing bloody buildups in favor of a life after slasher chaos. Its production may never meet the promise of such a genre shakedown, but the ideas are concrete. That’s what’s most frustrating about this ambitious horror/drama – even after escalating into Ptsd allegories, generic drabness never elevates excitement or mentally stimulates us.
Benjamin R. Moody’s feature debut encapsulates first-timer cinema navigation, be it through minimalist design value or your run-of-the-mill cast that doesn’t hold any surprise breakouts. Story significance is alive, but execution needed to be ten times tighter. Hopefully Moody will take this experience as a stepping stone to bigger things, but a knockout debut Last Girl Standing unfortunately is not.
Akasha Villalobos stars as Camryn, the lone survivor from a cultists’ murderous camping trip rampage. We meet her just as she’s found...

Icon Film Distribution and FrightFest have announced a further three films – all of which are personal faves of mine from this years festival – which will be released under the curated banner FrightFest Presents. The new titles are:
Night of the Living Deb, directed by Kyle Rankin starring Maria Thayer (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Michael Cassidy (Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice), Christopher Marquette (Just Friends, The Girl Next Door) and Ray Wise (Infestation, Twin Peaks).
After a girls’ night out, endearingly awkward Deb wakes up in the apartment of the most attractive guy in Portland, Maine. She’s thrilled, but can’t remember much of what got her there. Ryan only knows it was a mistake, and ushers her out the door into a full-scale zombie apocalypse. Now, a walk of shame becomes a fight for survival as the mismatched pair discovers that the only thing scarier than trusting someone with your life…...

Casey Jones Short Film. Polaris Banks‘ Casey Jones (2011) short film stars Hilarion Banks, Brian Villalobos, Cruz Thomas, Michael Schnick, and Chris Frasier. Casey Jones‘ plot synopsis: “Arnold Bernid “Casey” Jones is a character from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

Casey wears a hockey mask and cut-off biking gloves and carries his weapons in a golf bag over his shoulder. His weapons include baseball bats, golf clubs, cricket bats, and hockey sticks. He is a master of stealth, as he has never been caught by the NYPD despite his bizarre appearance.
As a boy growing up in New York, Casey Jones’ neighborhood was overrun by criminals. Casey, tired of the “hoods running his ‘hood’”, started an intense weight training regimen and purchased a few books on martial arts to help combat the “bad guys.
