In the past couple of years we’ve seen a real resurgence of horror movie titles that have cleverly avoided the clichés of the genre to attract a much larger audience than usual. Part of the reason as to why films like Meet Me There, It Follows and The Babadook have succeeded is through the old school method word-of-mouth that has meant that they’ve gained a good amount of exposure without relying on expensive marketing methods.
It’s hoped that many of this years upcoming indie horror movies could repeat this formula as they aim to break out of their niche markets to become the surprise movie hits of the summer. That’s certainly the case with the likes of Darling that’s managed to overcome its initial local release to gain more widespread exposure thanks to its black and white retro take on traditional horror motifs.

Marshmallow fluff, ladies stitched together from corpses, and sex-crazed rabbit/human hybrids… this can only mean one thing: it’s family game night in the Crypt o’ Xiii! Or it’s time for another batch of revoltin’ reviews… I always get those mixed up, often with hilarious (and litigious) results…

What’s this? A new fright flick that advertises itself as a Gothic horror/psychological thriller inspired by the works of The Brothers Grimm (and just so happens to be set in a cornfield)? This is either going to end up mind-blowing, or just plain blowing (or it could just be mediocre, I suppose). Well, let’s see how corny ol’ Rows gets!

Meet Me There
• Release Date: Available June 23rd on DVD
• Written By: Brandon Stroud, Destiny D Talley (story)
• Directed By: Lex Lybrand
• Starring: Lisa Friedrich, Micheal Foulk, Dustin Runnels
Meet Me There is the kind o’ rippin’ yarn that grabs ya from the first scene (and what a doozy that scene is… think a condensed version of Planes, Trains, And Automobiles except with a lot more double suicide), and doesn’t let go until the very end (yet the marks it leaves linger for a bit).
The meat of this...

Here's your daily dose of an Indie film in progress -- at the end of the week, you'll have the chance to vote for your favorite. In the meantime: is this a movie you'd want to see? Tell us in the comments. Paper Cuts Tweetable Logline: Wounds may heal, but scars never go away. 'Paper Cuts' tackles eating disorders, cutting, and family in a new feature film. Elevator Pitch: "Paper Cuts" deals with some heavy issues that aren't addressed very often in mainstream cinema. Eating disorders, cutting / self-harm, revenge porn, and convincing the world that everything is okay... even when it's not. Telling the story from a female Pov, 'Paper Cuts' comes from a woman writer, Kelli Horan, and a woman director, Ima Leupp -- a combination that's very rare in today's filmmaking environment. Starring Danielle Evon Ploeger ("Summer League") and Lisa Friedrich ("Meet Me There") with Matthew Palmer ("Inspire Pro") and Brad Silman.

Philadelphia's Awesome Fest sounds… well… awesome. To be clear, though, it appears this is an evolution of the already-existent event, which is now being called The Bruce Campbell Horror Film Festival. As you would expect with a name like that, Bruce Campbell will indeed be there as part of the four-day event in Rosemont, Il, where they'll also be screening a slate of horror titles curated by Scott Weinberg, horror maven and the resident critic at the just-killed FEARnet. They'll also have panels, and they've got some great ones planned. Overall, it looks like a really cool chance to see a fistful of the best of what indie horror has going on right now with bonuses that simply make the weekend better. From August 21 to August 24, you'll be able to check out some great films. How? Well, here's how they put it: Tickets for All screenings are free to attend...

Lex Lybrand's Meet Me There is certainly not the first film in which the protagonist returns to their hometown in order to face their past head-on. It is a narrative trope that has been used in just about every cinematic genre, mostly because it is a very relatable storyline for a lot of people. But Meet Me There differentiates itself from the rest of the pack by carefully morphing from a fairly subdued micro-budget drama into a warped and demented psychological horror film, cleverly mirroring the deteriorating mental states of the protagonists along the way. Unlike most traditional horror films, Meet Me There is patient enough to fully develop its characters and build significant dramatic tension before really amping up the suspense. The downside to this "slow simmer" narrative approach is that the purely dramatic first act may bore some horror aficionados completely out of their seats -- or...
