Dark and disturbing work is afoot, across the Pond in London. The seemingly innocent are being transformed into things that are far more disturbing, and it's all thanks to filmmaker Tim Porter.

New clip from 'Apartment 143'
If you know me, you'll know that I am a fan of the so-called found footage sub-genre. Last night I watched Apartment 143, which hits the UK on October 15th, and enjoyed the hell out of it. The blurb on the cover, from El Deano, describes it as Paranormal Activity meets The Ring. Well, you can throw in a dash of Poltergeist too, and that would be a pretty good description. After the break I have a spooky new clip from the film to share with you! Oh yeah, watch this movie with the volume way up!
Q&A with Danielle Harris
Danielle Harris is without doubt one of the true modern day Scream Queens'. From Halloween 4 & 5, through to Michael Biehn's The Victim, with many more inbetween, she has been a mainstay in the horror genre. Recently I put forth a few questions to Danielle, which she kindly answered, and you can read what she had to say below!

Filthy Review - 'Excision'
Excision
(2012)
Review by Jude
Felton
Look around
message boards and any of the social networks and you will quite often see one
recurring theme, when it comes to horror films; that there is no good or
original movies been made any more. Well, step right up and get your laughing
gear around Excision. This is a delightfully sick, twisted, touching and quite
often hilarious movie. In fact, to call it straight ahead horror is a little
misleading, as there is a coming of age tale in here, a very black comedy, a
high school drama and guts and gore. Lots of claret in here my friends, of that
you can be sure. This is dark cinema at its finest, and deserves your attention
as soon as possible.
Filthy Review - 'Blood Soaked'
Blood Soaked
(2012)
Review by
Jude Felton
A couple of
years back I reviewed director Peter Grendle’s short movie, This Side of
Nightmare, and was quite impressed. It was a short, sharp and brutal 11 minutes
that followed a young couple travelling home on spring break, who fall foul of
a couple of hate-filled religious fanatics. Now he is back with Blood Soaked,
which in actual fact is the feature length version of that tale, with a few
twists and turns along the way.
Filthy Review - 'The Hole'
The Hole
(2009)
Review by
Jude Felton
The band
Anthrax once sang that it’s “a long time, a long time comin’”, a line that
could have very easily been written about Joe Dante’s family-friendly horror
flick The Hole. The film was completed back in 2009 and is just seeing a
release to Blu-ray and DVD in the States towards the latter end of 2012. There
are reasons behind this, and Dante elaborates on these in a recent interview on
Fangoria.com; the long and short of it being that not enough theaters at the
time had the 3D capabilities to play the film, resulting in it getting shelved.
Of course, there is more to it than that, although it still remains a long wait
for a film from the director of such gems as Gremlins, Inner Space and The
Howling.
Filthy Review - 'Bereavement'
Bereavement (2011)
Review by Jude Felton
In 2005, April to be precise, Stevan Mena’s debut movie
was released onto DVD. Being as though at that time I lived in the UK I had to
import myself a copy from the good old US of A. It was money well spent, with
the movie being an excellent blend of slasher and crime thriller all washed
over with a gritty old school horror movie feel to it.
