Phil Cook’s MALICE (2012) comes to the web
1 Comment Published September 25th, 2011 in Current News and EventsPhil Cook is a Virginia-based filmmaker (Eagle Films) that has produced several incredible science fiction movies (Despiser, Outerworld, Invader). He now takes a turn into Gothic horror with MALICE. The story is a family moves into a house occupied by their recently deceased grandmother. On moving day the two daughters discover that the home sits next to a cemetary, and there is a feeling of dread that is in the atmosphere. As the family tries to get used to the house, there is SOMETHING in the air grates – watching them.
I encourage everyone to check out the sneak preview of this web series coming in 2012. It is so well done, so creepy that this really should be on a major network! I can’t wait to see the whole thing! Check out the sneak preview HERE.
SYNOPSIS: It’s the summer of 1973, and eight year-old Bobby Burke’s father has been MIA in Vietnam for three years. Bobby believes in the power of his magic charm bracelet – called the Safekeeper – to bring his dad back home, but he’s dismayed that his mother, who has begun dating a new man, appears to be moving on with her life. Now, to make matters worse, Bobby has come upon a demonic creature known as The Tolltaker living in a nearby storm drain, who seems intent on snatching the Safekeeper from Bobby’s wrist and keeping his father from him forever.
Director Steve Janas bring the viewer a chilling tale based on the book “The Tolltaker.” This indie short (20 minutes) is both live action and animation. It harbors a sense of dread that is not easy to shake off. There is a fine line between bittersweet moments, paranoia, and out and out terror. The production is a period piece (set in the early 1970s) and is incredibly well done. Check it out HERE.

Happy Birthday to Filmmaker Kevin Kangas!
1 Comment Published September 17th, 2011 in Current News and EventsThis week we celebrate the birthday of filmmaker Kevin Kangas, the independent director behind such movies as Hunting Humans, The Fear of Clowns series, Bounty, and the upcoming Garden of Hedon. Kangas’ website sports a great blog on the trials and tribulations of low budget movie making. I strongly urge those that enjoy suspense thrillers and horror to seek his movies out.
