Review by Jesse Miller, MoreHorror.com

Warning! This review will contain spoilers!

“Prey” was another interesting episode, in that it didn’t really focus on what was happening at the prison with Rick’s decision but rather, it was Andrea-centric as it focused on her attempting to escape The Governor’s grasp and return to her friends to warn of the incoming attack.

Rather oddly placed though, is the little flashback at the beginning of this episode that focuses on Michonne and Andrea in their days of winter, where the backstory to Michonne’s chained walkers is teased but never fully explored.

That this chunk of story is neither brought up with Michonne in this episode or even showed to be a reflection of Andrea makes it feel awkwardly thrown in just for the hell of it and I am left to wonder whether it would’ve been better to throw these parts in in the episode where Rick comes to a decision about Michonne, so they have more impact.

Meanwhile, Andrea encounters Tyreese on her hurried exit from Woodbury and rather intriguingly planted that seed of doubt in Tyreese’s mind about the governor and just what kind of man he really is.

I want to talk about this specific moment because I thought Andrea could’ve said a little more before jumping down off the barricade and running into the woods – she could’ve spilled the beans to Tyreese about the whole conflict, tell him what she knows about what happened to her friends at the prison, but I understand that The Walking Dead is probably saving these revelations till last.

Instead, Tyreese goes on a mission with The Governor’s boys and uncovers some of the nasty surprises that were in store for the prison gang: a group of walkers in a pit, designed to be used upon the prison gang in the coming war.

Interestingly enough, we get a little mystery with this subplot, as we find ourselves with a mysterious figure burning the walkers, thus eliminating that threat (for now). So who could this mysterious person be? Milton? That seems too obvious.

This mystery was all well and good but the most fascinating and engaging part of this episode was the superb and incredibly tense cat-and-mouse chase between Andrea running for her life to prison, with The Governor hot on her heels.

This whole sequence was brilliantly crafted, from its use of camera angles to editing, and watching this battle of wills between The Governor and Andrea – especially now The Governor has gone full blown psycho (what, with all that medical equipment in that dungeon and now the whistling?) – was incredibly effective.

From the writers that brought you The Ward, comes Dark Feed – a horror / thriller about a film crew making a horror film of their own deep within the frightening confines of an abandoned psychiatric hospital, where they encounter some deep, dark and long buried secrets that start to manifest in horrifying and violent ways.

We’ve all seen the abandoned hospital horror film, whether it be Session 9, Boo or Grave Encounters and while there is no problem with a variation of this idea time and time again, there has to be a satisfying tale for how ever long the filmmakers want your attention and sadly, what this ride lacks is an engaging story that both entertains and frightens.

Occasionally, Dark Feed has a scare up its sleeve that is as twisted as the morbid hospital history within the film but the majority of shocks on offer fall flat and the film is riddled with tired haunted house clichés we’ve seen before – black goo oozes from the walls, there’s a ghostly figure in a long white dirty dress that pops up occasionally and twitches and flickering lights play a vital role in setting up a scare.

Furthermore, this film is ridiculously dark – and I don’t mean that figuratively, although yes, it’s history is vile – no, I mean the lighting is very minimal throughout the film, leading to shadowed cast members, darkened sets that look like the cast and crew are in entirely black rooms with only one single torch as a light source -, which is horribly distracting as I had to double check the brightness on my TV in case there was an error on my behalf – there wasn’t, this film is just too dark and it suffers further because of it.

Apart from a few genuinely disturbing scenes – I could count these moments on one hand though – the scares here suffer from some weak editing and directing – when something jumps out, it just doesn’t have an impact and coupled with the literal darkness in this film, when characters wander off into the basement at night, you can’t even see the scare to begin with because it’s too dark and hard to see just what the hell is going on at times.

Directed By: José Ramón Larraz
Written By: Pablo de Aldebarán

Starring: Barton Faolks (Gerard Martin), Christina Marie Lane (Lillian), Page Moseley (Richard), Fred Holliday (Frank McIntosh), Patty Shepard (Laura), Alicia Moro (Rita), Jack Taylor (Christopher), Joy Blackburn (Susan), May Heatherly (Anna), Conrado San Martin (Trevor), Elmer Modling (Brock)

I was thoroughly surprised that I liked this late 80s Slasher when I watched it. My initial reaction reading about this film is that it would be a Friday the 13th cheap knock off. It has a Jason-eque style killer but doesn’t go so far to mimic the popular flick. While not perfect, I think this slasher movie will impress most viewers.

The plot is a deranged serial killer in an expressionless white mask is going around stalking and killing people with an axe. A couple becomes mixed up in the killings and trying to figure out the motive. I was impressed that the plot didn’t take the typical slasher fare of just random killings with a horrid plot behind it, which was a theme of slashers this late in the 80s.

The characters are fairly likable. I enjoyed the fact that the characters weren’t the typical low budget “horny teens.” For a change, the characters aren’t those types and it is refreshing to watch. The dialogue is passable and at times campy but nothing out of the ordinary for a slasher flick. The cheesiest dialogue is with the late 80s computers that talk out loud when you message another person. I thought that was hysterical.

Dismal Productions has unveiled the first poster and details for the upcoming horror film SQUEAL (working title).

The movie is currently in pre-production and has tapped Ted Payson (The Cohasset Snuff Film, Sunday Night Slaughters) to direct. The story is by Seth Metoyer (Cell Count, Slink) and Shannon Hilson. The script was penned by Michael Hultquist (Arena, Victim). Poster design was created by Charlie Hintz of Mental Shed Studios.

SQUEAL is currently casting for minor roles, but actor Bill Oberst Jr. (Children of Sorrow, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies) will be playing the role of Uncle Ollie. Consequently, Oberst and Metoyer co-own Dismal Productions. When speaking with Oberst about his role as Uncle Ollie, Oberst said it was "perfect" for him because he is "so twisted".

When speaking about the script, Oberst added that it has a "very fun and scary vibe...it's like ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN meets CHILDREN OF THE CORN with a little TWO THOUSAND MANIACS thrown in".

Executive Producer Seth Metoyer said that his story "Was inspired by the fact that Hollywood is still 'hot for found footage'", but believes that "the found footage genre is saturated and needs a fresh take".

The fresh take of SQUEAL is that the film is shot/recorded from the point of view of a 13 year old girl. She documents her younger brother's tormented night terrors about squealing pigs, her drug addicted parents and finally their trip and visit to creepy Uncle Ollie's farm.

Dismal Productions plans to complete the film in late 2013 or early 2014. They will be launching a crowd-funding campaign to help raise funds and get horror fans involved. We'll keep you posted about those and other details about this film as they become available. Take a gander at a larger version of the teaser poster below the movie synopsis.

I love the film ‘Psycho’. I consider it my favorite film for many reasons and though it branched out into a rather hit or miss franchise, I’ve still always been interested in exploring the world of Norman Bates and his Mother and now with A&E’s ‘Bates Motel’, it seems like we have a good chance at exploring them further. Does the show do the franchise justice? Well, yes and no.

The show certainly knows how to start off with a bang with Norman discovering his dead father in their house before we jump ahead to a few months later when Norman and his Mother Norma (played by Freddie Highmore and Vera Famiga) use the insurance money to buy what will become the infamous Bates Motel in a small costal town where mysterious and dangerous events begin to happen around the Bates.

The show is successful in creating atmosphere with almost a David Lynch feel too it but the show is also successful at being unique on its own while still remaining in the ‘Psycho’ universe. Although the show is a prequel to the 1960 film, the old is mixed with the new with the show being set in modern times but retaining old objects such as record players, Norman’s love of old movies, and just a retro feel that’s very welcome.

The show surprisingly is able to get away with some horrific sequences such as a very strong rape scene that made me quite uncomfortable and I could’ve done without. The violence is strong when present however this is not a graphic show with most of the terror and tension coming from the excellent performances of Highmore’s Norman and Famiga as his obsessive Mother and I feel this is the right move, since if violence was being committed every episode It would probably get old quick.

I don't know about you guys out there, but I cannot WAIT until the upcoming remake of 1981's 'The Evil Dead'. The film is directed by newcomer Fede Alverez and though he's new, he shows a lot of promise in this remake and his love for the original actually seems to be beneficial this time around.

In celebration of the upcoming remake, I just wanted to compile the five main things that we know about Evil Dead 2013. So without further ado, we start with number five:

5. The film has gore, and a lot of it
If you haven't heard by now, the original cut of the film received an 'NC-17' by the ratings board and it tells us that not only will we have some extra fun when the eventual DVD/Blu-Ray comes out, but that they are seriously wanting to commit to the body horror theme of the film. Most horror films should not rely solely on gore, however it seems like with this one it's just a factor.

4. Most of the special effects are practical with very little CGI
Computer Generated Imagery should only be used to create what cannot be made in real life, and even then it should be in moderation. Luckily Fede Alverez and producers Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Rob Tapert have kept their practical FX roots and are committing to keeping as little CG in the new film as possible. This is a VERY nice change of pace from earlier horror films of late.

Antibodies (2005, Germany)
Directed by Christian Alvart
Runtime 127 minutes
German with English subtitles

Written and directed by Christian Alvart (Pandorum {2009}), Antibodies (Antikorper) is a disturbing psychological crime thriller about serial pedophile/child killer Gabriel Engel (Andre Hennicke), who has finally been caught by Federal Agent Seiler (Heinz Hoenig). Seiler is now charged with interrogating Engel, who refuses to talk.

In the small farming village of Herzbach, farmer and part-time police officer Michael Martens (Wotan Wilke Mohring) is wrestling with the unsolved brutal murder of twelve-year-old Lucy. Martens and the rest of the town think Engel was responsible, but there is plenty of tension and doubt to go around. When Engel is captured, Martens goes to the city in the hopes of finding out if he killed Lucy or not. Seiler grants the interview and is surprised to discover that Engel will only talk to Martens. Martens agrees to stay for as long as he can help with the investigation—he even visits Engel’s apartment with Seiler where he finds evidence of the crimes committed.

Feeling elated and accomplished, Martens emotions wreak havoc when he gets no positive feedback from his wife upon calling home. All she wants to know is when he’ll be home for the harvest. This leads Martens, a devout Catholic, to explore his dark side—with Engel’s questions egging him on. He cheats on his wife with a hot blonde who does things that Martens’ wife probably wouldn’t even consider (they sleep in separate beds!).

Ultimately he returns home and Seiler arrives with a group of investigators to get samples of all of the men in Herzbach, because some of the evidence points to someone else killing Lucy. Martens is eventually led to a potential suspect that would be devastating and embarrassing for his family. But not so fast. There are numerous twists and turns and in the end we learn that things are not what they seem.
