Mercury, Review: The evil that corporates do kills after them*
No, not the planet, but the element. Like lead, mercury poisoning can cause permanent damage to the human body. The movie, Mercury, begins when the damage is long done and the factory that caused it is shut and abandoned. However, the after-effects are about to wreak havoc on five deaf-mute friends, and one blind man will extort vengeance of the most brutal kind. Made without dialogue, Mercury has a soundtrack that ranges from cac...
Colossal, Review by Siraj Syed: Loss all
Colossal loses big on two counts: It appears to have several allegorical, illusionary hidden agendas, and it goes about framing them in minimalistic, over-simplified montage. There is always a grave risk in making a socio-political commentary using metaphors like video games and giant monsters/robots, and the risk involves alienating (pun intended) both classes of audiences—the superhero aficionados, and the intelligentsia film-goers. Colossal no...
The Horrible Imaginings Film Festival is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that showcases art and film that explores the darker or more macabre sides of the human condition. We promote and spotlight exemplary new artistic voices in what is commonly known as the horror genre. It is our mission to encourage an elevation of the genre through film discussion, question and answer sessions, panels, and other presentations.
HALLOWEEN HORROR FEST MISSION
Our mission is to celebrate great horror films and filmmakers from around the world and to provide greater opportunities for these films and their audiences to connect through the internet.
LETTER FROM FESTIVAL FOUNDER, BENJAMIN OBERMAN
I’m very excited to welcome everyone to the Halloween Horror Fest. This online festival provides us all the opportunity to celebrate 31 days of world class horror films and the filmmakers who terrify, disgust, and disturb us.
I've been traveling to festivals around the globe for many years now, and I've seen amazing films that few people ever have the chance. But no matter how many films I can see, there are infinitely more I wish I could easily access. But even at the festivals, this is a daunting task.
Hosting the festival online is the great equalizer, giving dedicated audiences the opportunity to watch as much as they want, when they want, in the comfort of their own home, with the ability to interact with filmmakers and notable individuals, such as yourselves, as much as they’d like. You can see all the films you heard about from great genre festivals around the world, and beyond for one low price. (Like a Netflix subscription, but much better!) If you don’t have time to watch every film, don’t worry, many of them will be available on our Streaming On Demand platform after the festival period is over.
This year, enjoy 31 days of Horror making the Halloween season your best one yet!
I hope you enjoy the festival as much as I do.
Independently Yours,
Benjamin Oberman
Founder | President | CEO
FILM FESTIVAL FLIX
The Charlotte Horror Fest is horror and sci-Fi film festival taking place every October in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event is
produced by Indie Film Force, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2005, which also produces the already established Charlotte Film Festival
The mission of the Charlotte Horror Fest is to bring filmmakers and film fans together for a celebration of the Horror and Sci-Fi genres. To create an event where the films can receive a quality projection that is on par with the dedication and perseverance that went into making them and fans can experience the works the way the filmmakers envisioned it. Along the way, we encourage fans to jump in and participate in whatever creative way feels right, so that the recipe will be complete and we’ll be able to fulfill what is the ultimate goal of the festival: to create and celebrate community.
Now, we are filmmakers too. So we understand that excellence is usually more easily noticed if it’s formally awarded. With that in mind, the 2012 Charlotte Horror Fest will present the following 17 awards:
- Best Feature
- Best Short
- Best Student Film
- Best Short Screenplay
- Best Horror Film Trailer
- Best Charlotte Feature
- Best Charlotte Short
- Best Actor
- Best Actress
- Best Cinematography
- Best Music
- Best Editing
- Best Visual Effects
- Best Make-up
- Audience Choice Best Feature
- Audience Choice Best Short
- Audience Choice Best Student Film
This is the trailer for the up and coming short film, Monster, directed by Deborah Burns starring Jodelle Ferland.
The Wicked West Film Fest 2011 is being held in conjuction with the Zombie Precinct Haunted Attraction taking place in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada in October, 2011 within the new Fremont ( "Screamont") East Entertainment District. There will celebrity appearances, awards, and other related activities. It will be the first horror film fest to take place in downtown, which is pretty scary in itself.  There will be a monstrous amount of press. Only horror and scifi genre films will be accepted. No gratuitous or overly explicit sex scenes.

I was thinking recently about where we might see a crossover between
music videos and films. There’s the obvious: some form of a narrative,
maybe an experimental/auteur edge and some music videos even directly
allude to films. But for the most part music videos stand as their own
‘genre’ of cinematic form. Then, not so long ago, a friend of mine sent
me a video that could have been pulled directly from the young mind of Wes Craven.
Or Satan. It wa...
