12 Inches of Dangling Fury (2002 Video)

Sick Twisted and All Around FUNNY

[7/10 · 9 August 2005]

This is NOT a movie for children!! It contains lots of sexual and adult humor. Now that the public service announcement is over...

This film was absolutely hilarious!! I don't know that I ever stopped laughing. I borrowed this movie from a friend and now I'm going to end up getting it myself.

The film work is not that great, but it's an independent, what do ya expect. The important thing here is content, and this film has it. It has a Ghetto Jesus with "Bling" for crying out loud. The crew has some of the wittiest dialogue I've ever seen in a film. The characters are outlandish and yet somehow it all fits together very well.

It is a must have for any independent movie fan with a sick humor.

The Absence of Light (2006)

Breathe of Fresh Air in an independent film

[10/10 · 9 August 2005]

The Absence of Light is a new vision of what a truly independent film can be. I was constantly amazed by the video quality and special effects in this film. The story was intriguing and the humor was dark and twisted. All great things for a flick like this.

As if this alone was not enough somehow they managed to get Tony Todd, Tom Savini, Michael Berryman, Caroline Munro, and David Hess to appear in the film. These great stars of horror cinema appear throughout the film to support and inform the plot. I was just amazed that all of these people were actually in the film.

The movie is based on the experiences of two hit men who work for "The Higher Power" (Savini) and their job is to get a corrupt and perverted Senator re-elected. This task takes them into some very odd and sometimes funny endeavors.

There was quite a bit of CGI in this film and it was excellent quality for an independent film. The special FX and gore looked true to life and were not over the top. The stunts were exciting and realistic. The chase scene was amazing at the opening of the film.

There were some things that could have used more work, but compared to the independent films I have seen; this was by far the best. I plan to tell my friends about this film. I look forward to seeing more movies from New Illusion Pictures.

I definitely recommend this movie.
