The film stars Fred Ward as ex-cop turned gumshoe, Phil Lovecraft (in what is perhaps the least accurate version of Lovecraft-the-person on film).

Carnage Park, the new film written and directed by Mickey Keating, is an unrepentant throwback to both the independent crime and horror cinema of the '70s.

It's this vision of youth and young love in particular that really makes Badlands resonate and disturb.

April 19, 2016 0 13

Scythe (the short) is a nicely done piece of work with strong performances and a professional look that you might not expect from a three-day shoot of test footage.

Alex Wolfe, Paul Brian McCoy

Innocence and Experience

April 17, 2016 2 54

In 1982, Ridley Scott’s science fiction masterpiece Blade Runner was released in the US but it wasn’t necessarily a masterpiece from the get-go.

All of these people are holed up at Minnie's Haberdashery to wait out a blizzard that's keeping "The Hangman" from getting Domergue to trial.

EZMM 2016 Day 8: Re-Kill (2015)

Paul Brian McCoy

March 28, 2016 0 7

Overall, Re-Kill is a solid action zombie film but it's fairly one-note when we're following the Re-Kill Cops (R-Division) in the field.

EZMM 2016 Day 6: Zombeavers (2014)
