Filthy Review - 'Cell Count'

Cell Count (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

It was back in 1986 when I got introduced to the twisted world of David Cronenberg, with his majestic version of The Fly. Watching this twisted tale inspired me to check out his earlier movies, and his fascination with what we now call body horror. Movies such as Videodrome, Scanners and The Brood, amongst others, were all devoured and enjoyed. This was a different style of horror movie than I was used to, but it resonated deep inside me. The reason I mention the early films of Cronenberg is quite simple; Todd E. Freeman’s Cell Count evokes the spirit of these grisly delights.

No word yet on whether this release will feature the original German audio track (the US VOD version did not), but we can only hope. More news as I get it.

Filthy Review - 'In the House of Flies'

In the House of Flies (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

The impact of a movie, especially horror movies, is so often judged on the violence perpetrated on screen. The emotional impact is often overlooked; instead the amount of bloodshed, gore and severed limbs is how the film is measured. In Gabriel Carrer’s In the House of Flies he manages to make a film that is undeniably violent, yet the violence for the most part is of the psychological type. Do not be mistaken though, this film is harrowing viewing and one that intends to leave scars.

Rue Morgue and Unstable Ground take 'Little Terrors' on tour

If you know me, you know that I am a big fan of the short film format. In fact, some of my favorite films of the last couple of years have been shorts. So, news of this upcoming tour is grand news. Rue Morgue and Unstable Ground have been running the Little Terrors for one year now, and are just entering their second, and have decided to take the format on tour to a few festivals. The line-up for this tour looks mighty fine too, with two of my absolute favorites, which include my number one short of 2011, are included. Oh, and viewers in some of the cities listed should keep their eyes peeled for a screening of a rarely seen short, that isn't listed!

I recently had a chance to put forward a few questions to the film's director, Brandon Fowler.

Filthy Review - Skull World

Skull World (2012) (Advanced Blu-ray Screener)

Review by Jude Felton

Skull World is just like planet Earth, except it is a damned sight more entertaining! It is inhabited by one Greg Sommer aka Skull Man and the man knows how to rock. The documentary, Skull World, is directed by Justin McConnell who previously released the post-apocalyptic horror flick The Collapsed, and is a completely different kettle of fish (or Lawn Gnomes if you prefer). The one thing they do share, aside from Sommer popping up in The Collapsed as an armed gunman, is the fact that both exist in a different reality. Sure, Skull World is all very real but it is a world far removed from yours and mine and I want to visit it!
