Two words for you, “freakin’ awesome!” That’s what I thought upon watching the trailer for Rickey Bird’s upcoming grindhouse zombie short, Naked Zombie Girl.

Since I got word of Jennifer Campbell’s first short Hike (check that sucker out HERE) I have been following her career within the horror genre very closely, as Jennifer, certainly has a bright future ahead.

Several months ago I stumbled upon Jared Skolnick’s awesome horror short, The Earth Rejects Him, and basically I absolutely loved it! It’s a mesmerizing film which kept me thinking throughout, and it’s totally worth a watch.

6 Shooter has a very important message and the message is alcohol is bad. Or at least it is if you drink the whole bottle and the result is unleashing holy hell on your friends. The short film is directed by David ‘dwyz’ Wayman and is a very well polished affair. Apart from one badly executed [...]

Both Determined Spirits and Into the Light are two parts of a continuous story, so I will go over each short’s plot then review them together as one entity. M’kay?! Determined Spirits focuses on a mysterious woman named Ming Lee (Diana Rumjahn), who has discovered that she’s been cursed by an evil spirit. According to [...]
DONT MOVE is a demonstration in how to make a truly great horror movie. It is no easy feat to make a horror movie that fans appreciate but making a horror short is even harder. Lets he honest as horror fans we are jaded because every year we are bombarded with hundreds of new horror [...]
You might remember Krueger: A Tale from Elm Street from a few years back. It was a pretty impressive fan film shot by Chris R. Notarile that explored the mythos of Freddy Krueger before he became the master of dreams. It added a bit of depth to the character of Freddy and showed how terrifying he really could [...]
I’m always excited for the chance to see genre’ short films at a festival or event because very often they are hard to track down otherwise.

I think its pretty safe to assume that we all hate going to the dentist. I mean, we are at their mercy, and they could do anything, and I mean anything. Case in point, Ryan Spindell’s impressive short The Root of the Problem. This is one short you want to keep your eyes on as [...]
Today Vice released a short film directed by Spencer Susser and co-written by David Michôd called I Love Sarah Jane.
