Stars: Jamie Bernadette, Katie Carpenter, Gema Calero, Karishma Lakhani, Sharron Calvin | Written and Directed by Lou Simon
Writer/director Lou Simon has made quite a name for herself in the horror community within what is, at least in cinematic terms, a very short space of time. Her 2012 feature HazMat sold in record time and her last film, Agoraphobia – starring horror icon Tony Todd and Sharknado’s Cassie Scerbo – recieved decent (if mixed) reviews. Not one to rest of her laurels, Simon returns to the genre, not only writing and directing but also producing survival horror Dark Mountain.
Taking charge of your career can be a blessing and a curse for filmmakers. On the one hand, having total control of your film as writer, director and producer allows you to bring your vision wholly to the screen without falling foul of other people’s opinions. But on the other hand… What...

All Girls Weekend is written and directed by Lou Simon. The film stars Jamie Bernadette, Katie Carpenter, Gema Calero, Michele Gourdine, Sharron Calvin, and Karishma Lakhani.
When we are first introduced to the luckless protagonists of All Girls Weekend, in an overly lit scene full of expository soap opera dialogue, set in a generic movie house, the kind that is too tidy to believe people actually live there, with framed posters of the director's previous films hanging on the walls behind the actors, I did not think that I was in store for a good, or even competently made movie. But, as cliché as it might be for me to write, All Girls Weekend gets better as it goes along, and once the characters become lost in the woods, and the dreadfulness of the situation they are in becomes apparent, it becomes an effective,...

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Lou Simon. **a few minor spoilers here. Director/writer: Lou Simon. Cast: Norbert Velez, Todd Bruno, Aniela McGuinness, Giordan Diaz, Tom Stedham, Gema Calero, Reggie Peters and Daniela Larez. Hazmat is the second horror film from director and writer Lou Simon. Her latest, which is set to premiere at the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival August 16th, follows some of the formulas of a slasher film. A character is set up in a prank and the results are a little bloodier than expected. Simon develops the characters in the film before the action takes place. But, some of the scenes come across as awkward. The blood and gore is prolific as Simon hones her skills in the horror genre. The film's story is a simple set-up.
