When all is said and done the third installation of the Hillbilly Horror Show ranks among the very best. In fact it may be the most impressive without question. Both Divination and Get Off My Porch are superb productions and Follow while a bit inferior to the first two pieces is an enjoyable little picture with heart. With only Moderngrumble falling short of expectations its hard to consider this episode anything other than a success. The only bad news is the fact that there are no more episodes of the Hillbilly Horror Show to look forward to right this minute. Bo Cephus and Lulu are featured in just three installments and the fourth wont be here for another week or so. Whether well see the show continue beyond four...

Part of the fun of Texas Frightmare Weekend comes from experiencing the new voices in independent cinema. Patrick Rea's movie Nailbiter serves as a great example of this. Before directing and co-writing his first feature, Rea has made a name for himself writing and directing award-winning short films, including Time's Up, Eve and Get Off My Porch. His writing and his meticulous work behind the camera put him ahead of his peers.
When writing Nailbiter, Rea and co-writer Kendal Sinn start by playing off our natural fear of Mother Nature. A family traveling through the Midwest becomes stranded in a random basement by a tornado. Immediately, we find that not all is well as a mysterious creature and a dark secret are attacking family members, one by one.
The camerawork shines above all else in this thriller. Rather than using the now-tired "dirty camera" to excess, the lens glides...

Everyone has been solicited to purchase girl scout cookies at some point, usually around the same time every year. Some can even claim to have been pressured, coerced or even harassed into buying the tasty little fundraising treats. Hey, a girl.s got to earn her badges, right?
Get Off My Porch (2010) is a fun-filled, darkly twisted tale of a man who finds out just how far two girl scouts will go to ensure everyone enjoys their cookies. Writer and director Patrick Rea (with more than 25 short films to his credit) clearly has a decidedly wicked sense of humor, one that touches on the macabre without actually going there in detail. Rea.s forked-tongue-in-cheek short film winks and nods, but despite all the intensity of the film.s unsettling humor, it remains surprisingly somewhat family friendly. If I were so shallow as to support the ratings code as it currently stands,...

On April 22-23, Asbury Park, NJ will once again be taken over by the most toxic film festival in the world! (That’s a good thing.) The 12th annual Tromadance is two days and nights filled with depraved cinematic abuses that will leave you a shattered, emotional wreck. (That’s a good thing, too.)
This year, the fest will screen three feature films, a buttload of shorts, plus two mini-retrospectives.
The features are: 1. Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson‘s gonzo The Taint, a social satire filled with so much gore and sexual degeneracy you might want to wear a raincoat to the screening; 2. Joshua Grannell‘s horror spoof All About Evil, starring Natasha Lyonne and Cassandra Peterson about a psychotic film auteur who kills people on camera; 3. Miguel Angel Vivas’ brutal assault film Kidnapped.
Some of the short film highlights include Victoria Cook‘s triumphant return to Tromadance with Devil...

Writer/director/actor Dave Reda has made a name for himself over the last few years with his indie genre projects including Bit Parts and his most recent effort, Horror of Our Love (which screened recently as part of the Los Angeles Comedy Festival).
We recently caught up with Reda (of Elfwtin Fillms) to find out what his top five indie genre projects are. Check them out below!
1. Hate* (*A Comedy) (Drew Daywalt and David Schneider)
This is one of my most favorite short films... A deadly vengeful speaking chicken and poison chimichangas?? This one is so well made and a total blast. Drew also is the director of the insane short film Polydeus, which is a crazy film centered around an 80's video game. The make-up on the creature is fantastic, too.
2. Death In Charge (Devi Snively)
This is such a cool short film, very well made, and an unusual Grim Reaper.

We're always happy to hear from Patrick Rea, a truly inspirational indie filmmaker who never has fewer than four or five irons in the fire at any one time, and today is no exception. Not only did Patrick provide us with an update and new stills from his sophomore feature, Nailbiter, but he also shared news about two other upcoming projects he's currently working on.
First, with regard to Nailbiter, the story of a mother and three daughters who get caught in a Kansas tornado and are forced to take shelter in a storm cellar, only to become trapped and discover they are not alone, Rea tells us, "The editing on Nailbiter will be completed by Christmas. We will then move to sound, music, and visual effects. We are hoping for a completion date of May, 2011."
The film stars Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Sally Spurgeon, and Emily Boresow and is...

I had the pleasure of meeting director Patrick Rea this summer at Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, Kentucky this summer. You meet so many people at these kind of events and at each stop not everyone leaves a lasting impression on you. And then there is Patrick Rea, the guy can make a film, from his writing style to the lighting all the way to his direction of setting the mood for the film. I'm so impressed with Mr. Rea's work I'll be spreading the good word on his projects for now on. I also dare to compare his work with a Spielberg, Lucas, Cameron or even a Craven. Being the indie supporter that I am Rea's work comes across not so much as indie work but has the look of a full blown studio effort, the films are really that impressive! Check out my latest "Versus" with Patrick Rea...

One stumbling block that a lot of indie filmmakers hit is trying to stretch what should be left as a short into a feature-length film. Fortunately, there's a writer/director out there who understands that longer doesn't always mean better: Kansas-based Patrick Rea. And apparently we're not the only people who feel that way about Patrick as his cup runneth over with numerous film festivals clamoring to show his wares ... and also rewarding him for his efforts!
