    Khazana indie film review

    ★★★★ Directed by: Rahul Nath Written by: Rahul Nath, Noah Potter Starring: Ulka Simone Mohanty, Ahmed Lucan, Shruti Tewari, Reem Kadem Indie Film Review by: Rachel Pullen Khazana Movie Review Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn, has there ever been a more truthful phrase? You see us ladies, well let’s just say we don't let heartbreak go so easily. I for one love a bit of revenge, I like to take all the batteries out of the remotes in my enemy’s home and watch the chaos unf

    Reborn film review

    ★★ Directed by: #JulianRichards Written by: #MichaelMahin Starring: #BarbaraCrampton, #MichaelParé, #KayleighGilbert, #RaeDawnChong London Independent Film Festival Review by: #TaryllBaker Reborn Movie Review Somewhere between thriller and horror, Reborn takes a look into a world in which a stillborn baby can somehow reanimate... with superpowers. If you hadn’t realised already, this is a pretty ‘out there’ flick. It has some reasonably good action scenes, with some of the b

    ★★★★ Directed by: #MercedElizondo Written by: Merced Elizondo Starring: #TreyPeyton, #ChristopherPhipps, #AprilHartman, #CoryKays Short Film Review by: Chris Olson To Trust is to Risk is the strapline for this indie short film Just Lie Here from writer/director Merced Elizondo and it’s a movie where the risks pay off. Full of intense drama and heightened suspense, audiences may very well never use AirBnB again! Trey Peyton plays Jude, a musician who has paid online to stay at

    Alone in the Dark short film review

    ★★★ Directed by: #PhilipBrocklehurst Written by: Philip Brocklehurst, #MuhammadHolmatov Starring: #PMThomas Short Film Review by: Chris Olson Just in time for Halloween comes this spooky short film from #filmmaker Philip Brocklehurst in which a man sits Alone in the Dark. Playing on classic human fears and anxiety, it's an all too brief cinematic exploration of the human mind and its terrifying tricks. P. M. Thomas (an alias for Philip Brocklehurst) plays a character known (i

He didn't name names but it doesn't take a genius to know that the horror films with the most popularity in that era were franchises like S

Can’t wait.” That’s a testament to both the weird charm of #Grimmfest and the wonderfully twisted humour of the #Soska sisters. But it’

The Wretched grounds itself in that comfortable 1980’s #horror ambience; masquerading as a coming-of-age movie. But don’t let thi

Playing on gothic themes, #horror techniques, and cinematic trickery, it is a piece of experimental cinema that is as much about the storyteller as it is the story.

    Stop IT! short film review

    ★★★ Directed by: #JackBLevy Written by: #JackGeorge Starring: #EmmaKenny, #JimmyMcCarthy, #ClementineBoggHargroves Short Film Review by: #ChrisOlson A lot of clowning around in this short comedy film directed by Jack B. Levy. Stop IT! (pun intended) stars Emma Kenny and Jimmy McCarthy as two infuriated clowns looking to take matters into their own hands when the release of another IT film is imminent. The reason for their fury? The IT movies and original novel have caused ins
