The only thing more tired than CCTV-found footage movies is trailers for CCTV-found footage movies. At this point – with Paranormal Activity 6 on the horizon – it feels like there is little left to see in the way of groundbreaking, fresh scares. It is one of the greatest downfalls of the modern film industry that as soon as someone comes up with an interesting idea, there is suddenly a tidal wave of slight variations on the same theme, and the audience very quickly becomes desensitised to what once was something powerful and effective. But, possibly, the door should not be shut on CCTV-found footage movies just yet. Not until Hangman gets an airing, anyway.
Selected to premiere at the 2015 SXSW Film Festival, Hangman is directed by Adam Mason (Junkie), who also co-writes with Simon Boyes (Not Safe For Work). It is a story that reaches for us right where we are most vulnerable – sleeping in our beds.

But when Nicky murders his drug dealer (Tomas Boykin), Danny’s hope for recovery seems to go out the window.

Is it a zombie film? Is it a hallucination? Adam Mason's indie film Junkie is definitely an exercise in the surreal. Junkie blends genres, while offering several strange scenarios. Mason is known for his bloody work on Blood River (2009) and Pig (2010). His latest stars Robert Lasardo and Daniel Louis Rivas. These two actors play two brothers, who have a strange social circle. Full of hookers and drug dealers, Nicky (Lasardo) and Danny (Rivas) have different views on drug use and Danny wants to break free from this self-destructive lifestyle. But, Danny's brother wants him to spiral further down the rabbit hole. Junkie will release through video-on-demand and home entertainment formats November 12th, 2013. As well, the official artwork for the release is hosted here. Fans of the surreal can view the official trailer for Junkie below. Release Date: November 12th, 2013 (DVD, Video-on-demand).

Director Adam Mason’s dark comedy “Junkie” was recently acquired by the boys and girls at Indiecan Entertainment. With a little assistance from FilmBuff, the movie will soon be available on a variety of different platforms. This is definitely good news for those of you who love savagely humorous films about drug addiction. Although I didn’t love his 2007 flick “The Devil’s Chair,” I really thought Mason’s 2010 endeavor “Pig” was entertaining. Since the guy is hit and miss in my book, “Junkie” could go either way. At least it stars Robert Lasardo. That dude is a beast. Here’s the official synopsis if you’re curious about such things: Co-written by Mason and Simon Boyes, this twisted darkly comedic tale of out-of-control addiction stars Daniel Louis Rivas as a man trying to go clean, and Robert Lasardo as his psychotic brother, who will do anything to stand in his way.

Adam Mason has long been one of my favorite independent filmmakers. Mason made me take notice with his film Broken, that was released under the since-defunct Dimension Extreme line of home video releases, and then made me a lifer with what I would argue is his best film, The Devil’s Chair, which was released back in 2007 by Sphe(Sony). Adam also made an experimental film that has yet to see a proper release, titled Pig, in which the first three fourths of the film are captured in one continuous shot. Around the time that film was ready, Adam was hanging out in the discussion boards of various horror websites, offering anyone that wished to see his film Pig a means to do so. I met Adam around that time, and we started talking about his film, among other things, and he turned out to be one of the coolest...

From my experience, horror films are always the most interesting but least attended films at smaller film festivals as festival audiences seem to be more interested in stories about losing your virginity than werewolves and zombies. However, two venues in Telluride, Colorado hope to serve that small group of dedicated art-house horror fans with three days of horror films from around the world at the 3rd annual Telluride Horror Show.
