Indie Movie Review – Contracts
Contracts reminded me of the martial arts films that were everywhere in the ‘70s… the ones which had two ten minute fights in every quarter hour of film. And, to be honest, this isn’t a lot different. The story, such as it is, revolves around an elite group of assassins who are being killed off …

Indie Movie Review – My Summer As A Goth
Teenager – check, female – check, goth – check. So that’s three for three against me being in the right demographic for My Summer As A Goth! But then, when has that ever mattered? If it did, Disney wouldn’t make money until seven year olds got credit cards. My Summer As A Goth is a coming…

Indie Movie Review – Playhouse
The problem I have with ghost stories is an absence of belief in ghosts. Not that that should be a problem… I don’t believe in hobbits, superheroes, or magic, but I still watch and enjoy The Lord Of The Rings, The Avengers, and Harry Potter.

Indie Movie Review – The Retreat
As is elsewhere recorded, horror is not my genre of first choice. But I make the effort for the good folk who follow us. So, here in the small corner room that is reserved for the team devoted to watching and reviewing independent films, I have just sat and watched The Retreat. I’ll be honest and…

Indie Movie Review – Blind
Starting on a positive note, Blind was very nicely shot with interesting, atmospheric images throughout; more than just a hint of Dario Argento. There were also some nice horror touches; cliff hangers set up, bad guys closing in, etc. However, then things fall apart. The acting tends toward the plankish; the woman is supposed to be…
