Grimmfest Film Festival Review by: #DarrenTilby Taking inspiration from #GuillermodelToro’s Spanish-language classics, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Devil’s Backbone, Tigers Are Not Afraid embraces all the aspects of #filmmaking that made those movies great, and utilises and adapts them to fit its own narrative; creating a film which is not only able to stand on its own two feet, b

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

Dead Night indie film
★★★
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

Satan's Slaves indie film
★★★★ 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

Indie Film Review by: Richard Tanner In a 2016 interview with the Toronto International Film Festival, Tatiana Maslany spoke candidly about Canada as nation and how it affords people a breathing space that enables creativity. 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

Susan indie film
★ 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

Indie Film Review by Jack Bottomley Pain is something most of us strive to avoid but often in life you find pain is unavoidable, so how do you respond? 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. In Pickings, a select few find that out in th

★ Directed by: Salem Kapsaski

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. Matilda (Rahel Kapsaski) works in a seedy bar and is struggling with an oddball admirer
