    I'll Take Your Dead film review

    ★★★★ Directed by: Chad Archibald Starring: Aidan Devine, Ava Preston, Jess Salgueiro Grimmfest Film Festival Review by: Darren Tilby William (Aidan Devine) is a simple man with a less than ordinary job: he ‘takes care’ of the corollary of inner-city gang violence — basically, he makes dead bodies disappear. This isn’t something he wants to do, but something he must do for the safety of his young daughter, Gloria (a stunning performance here from Ava Preston). But when one of

    ★★★ Directed by: Bradford Baruh Starring: Brea Grant, AJ Bowen, Barbara Crampton, Sophie Dalah, Elise Luthman, Joshua Hoffman Grimmfest Film Festival Review by: Darren Tilby An enjoyable and bloody cabin in the woods romp, with decent SFX and 80s slasher movie type killings, that's let down by poor production design and a disjointed, nonsensical plot. Casey Pollack, a caring mother of two and devoted wife loses her grip on sanity during, what was supposed to be, a relaxing v

    ★★★★ Directed by: Joko Anwar Starring: Tara Basro, Dimas Aditya, Nasar Annuz, M. Adhiyat, Arswendi Nasution, Bront Palarae, Ayu Laksmi Grimmfest Film Festival Review by: Chris Olson A remake of the seventies original, filmmaker Joko Anwar's Satan's Slaves is a hearty horror where familial bonds play an equal part against the terror trappings. The result is a far from faultless affair that offered plenty to offer fans at the 2018 Grimmfest Film Festival. After a bedridden moth

Going largely unnoticed, the country and its cinema has been somewhat overshadowed by its loud eye catching neighbour to the south. And it’s all the better for it. Wh

    ★ Directed by: Mahmoud Shoolizadeh Starring: Jennifer Preston, Mitchell Thornton and Holly Lawton Short Film Review by: Annie Vincent Susan: a kind, thoughtful woman who loses everything, is placed in the worst circumstances anyone can imagine, has her life fall down around her completely and still finds a way to carry on. When a ‘rising from the ashes’ family drama is dangled in front of me, I am hopeful. Aren’t we all? Dramas are great, even if they cost you a box of tissue

All of us are capable of being driven over the edge by physical, mental or emotional pain but on occasion pain can mould us into something harder, more resilient, and create a survivor.

    ★ Directed by: Salem Kapsaski Starring: Sophia Disgrace, Rahel Kapsaski, and Lee Mark Jones Indie Film Review by: Owen Herman Spidarlings is certainly difficult to categorise, but it is perhaps best described as a horror-comedy-musical that takes a turn for the surreal. It tells the story of a couple, played by Sophia Disgrace and Rahel Kapsaski, struggling to make ends meet and pay rent.

Outsider Justine has inherited half of the Lowbrows bar and moves into it with Bob, the other owner. As she settles into her new home, she explores the local community and uncovers a hive of humanity in all its madness and diversity. Charming, if experimental? Yes, just as we might hope an art h
