I asked what kinds of movies he liked. Action comedies with killer stunts ( I mean who doesn’t love that?) came up.

Back in 2015, a young Romanian filmmaker revived an all but dead genre of filmmaking with his ultimate cult film, “Be My Cat: A Film For Anne.” I stumbled upon this flick while scrolling through Tubi and I am thrilled I did! It is such a rollercoaster of great filmmaking and, honestly, I couldn’t tell if Adrian was acting or not. His wife, Duru, an accomplished singer and actress from Turkey, have been putting their next masterpiece together for the last seven years, “We Put the World To Sleep” and

Coming straight out of Montreal, Sébastien Landry (Seb) and Laurence Morais Lagacé (Baz) created one crazy, violent, fun, and well shot horror film called “Game of Death.” The stylish flick really got the duo the chance to spread their creative wings and let loose! Over the years, they had shot tons of music videos, as well as doing their own separate projects, all of which are beautiful and creative in their own light. I was super excited to talk to these guys about their amazing career as well as

This year for Halloween I decided to have friends over to tell real ghost stories that have happened to them (as well as myself). I asked my friend Kamilla about any paranormal experiences she had and she told me about The Read House in her hometown of Chattanooga, TN. Although beautiful in every sense of the word, the hotel is known for the haunted room 311 where a woman had either killed herself or was killed while staying in the room in the early 1920’s. Guests have reported strange noises,

Mike Pecci has been writing and directing movies for years; his podcast “In Love with the Process” is arguably one of the best podcasts about filmmaking out there. However, much like all of us, it all began when we were kids in awe of what we were watching. While watching “Blade Runner”, a teacher asked him what his thoughts were on the wardrobe and the rest of his life went from there. His short film “12KM” has been rocking the horror market, and the only way to see it is to send him your Three

More Quentin Tarantino inspired films! “Truth or Consequences, NM” was one of those movies that flew under the radar due to a lot of 90’s classics being released at the same time. Critics really didn't like it, but audiences were split. At the time, "Austin Powers" was rocking the theatrical circuit (I still have my original ticket to when my mom took me) and TOCNM had a very limited release (reportedly, around seven theaters in America showed this for two weeks).Did this flick stand the test of

Josh Bennett is back to talk about another 90’s (in this case, early 2000’s) Tarantino-inspired film. “Poolhall Junkies” was written by two real pool hustlers who were trying to hustle each other, then decided to write a script based on thier personal experiences. Although never directly stated, this film was one of many that was heavily inspired by Quentin Tarantino after his massive success in the 90's. The film was set up for a sequel involving card sharks, but life happens, and the idea was

Coming from a family of artists, Canadian filmmaker Elza Kephart always knew she wanted to create art in some way.

Over the years she made some great and memorable flicks like the fun and campy “Graveyard Alive,” to the serious “Go in the Wilderness” and most recently “Slaxx,” which is a fun and violent flick while being a serious look at corporations.
