Review by AngryPrincess

This movie is like The Patty Duke show on acid, even though these two are sisters and not cousins. This is the first film starring Fiona Horsey that wasn’t so great. It wasn’t so bad but it wasn’t great. Jennifer is the happy go lucky girl with a great boyfriend who loves her and wants to get married. She seems to keep putting it off until she realizes she is pregnant.

Suddenly murders start to take place and the description of the killer is identical to Jennifer. At first you wonder why she is doing it. Is she doing these things to these men for a reason? Is she blacking out and her inner demons let loose and she abuses men? Not really, it ends up Jennifer has a twin named Nora who is playing payback for the shitty life she has had, She is jealous that her life was so awful growing up.

When Jennifer meets her parents for lunch they finally tell her that she has an identical twin, and it could be possible that she is the one who is killing men with a hatred that she has become accustomed to over time. Everything was obvious, and there wasn’t really anything surprising in here to get you strapped in for a exciting ride. Twisted Sisters didn’t have much going for it.

If your up for a mediocre watch, or are crushing on Fiona pick Twisted Sisters up and give it a go. If not I suggest you break out the MTI entertainment book and pick up a different title, they have plenty other great movies to choose from. I would have to tell you that I just watched one called Maniacts and it was great- talk about partners in crime! So read this review and make your own calculations of if this flick and decide if it is worth it to you.

After partying hard at a rave the gang all pile back into the RV and get ready for a boring ride home. Neil decides to be a selfish prick and take a short cut thru the desert to find peyote that he was told about so he can bring it back to LA with them to make a mint. Another TCM/ Hills Have Eyes inspired story for us all to enjoy, because even though it’s the same old shit I still liked it.

I totally felt that lost feeling about being stranded in some desolate place with fucked up people wanting to kill you.

These types of movies usually get me whether it be naked teeny boppers or a bunch of vain yuppies stuck in that trailer, I am scared for them. More often that not they are out numbered by mutant desert people. It’s that whole trapped in a sardine can surrounded by wolves feeling- it always leaves me unnerved.

Tara and Harmony are bestest girlfriends- and of course they are cute as hell when the bicker over whose ass is bigger. They are apparently a team and Tara is like the babysitter. Cashie is a Goth girl with a dark dry humor that matches her alabaster skin. When they get stuck in a some mutant desert mans trap everyone lets Neil know he’s a douche bag so he decides he’ll be the one to walk all the back to the gas station.

Sitting in there feeling like sitting ducks would make my eyes clench shut if I was one of them. I’d be the one getting slapped in the face being told to calm the hell down. At first, Loopz got on my nerves with the whole whigger thing but I’ll admit he had me laugh out loud as the movie rolled on, his reactions were priceless. Will anyone survive the night or will there just be an empty RV in the morning?

You have done stage and film acting. Which one do you think is harder?

Theater without a doubt. Film is a one time thing and the days are often much longer but you have multiple takes if you need to and it’s the crew on set not 400+ people all watching you. In theater you rehearse a lot but even with all the rehearsals you might still mess up and if you do screw up on stage, you have to keep going, do your best to make it look like it was supposed to happen and pray that your cast mates can
help you cover any goofs.

I love doing theater because I love the instant gratification you get when you perform and really push an emotion. You can feel the energy from the audience and when they get into it you feed off that energy.
Maybe someday I’ll go back to the stage but right now I am really having way too much fun doing films.

What’s your favorite horror movie?

Not to be a cop-out but I don’t have ONE favorite but many on the same level. My mother started me on horror films when I was, by today’s standards, much too young to be anywhere near some of them. When I was 6 she took me to a public library to see the original "Phantom of the opera" with Lon Chaney. It scared the crap out of me but for some reason I was mesmerized by the "Phantom" and as scared as I was (hiding under my chair for most of the showing) I knew I liked what I saw. Thanks Mom!
I have a special place for the classics but "American Psycho", "Toxic Avenger", "Evil Dead" and "2000 Maniacs" would definitely be on that list as well.

What do you find annoying in a woman?

This is a tough one. I don’t think that there are any annoying traits that are specific only to women. I am in no way a "PC" guy and I have never sugar coated anything that I wanted to say but any personality conflicts, attitude or respect issues could be from a man or a woman. Ok, I know I have to say something here so I can say that if a woman wears too much make-up, that bugs the hell out of me. Keep in mind soon that one will be shared with the guys as well if someone doesn’t put a stop to this whole "metro-sexual" thing. Sorry but I think guys that wax their eyebrows look silly. Ok I better stop now….

What role past or present if any would be considered your dream job?

I really liked the Janitor character from "Gutterballs" because he was just fun to play but I don’t know if that would be my "dream job".
The one thing I have yet to do, that I would love, is being a creature of some sort. I could do that the rest of my career and be happy as hell. I don’t care if he’s a man that turns into something like a werewolf or if it’s just a full time creature that is what it is.

Do you have a day job or do you just act?

I have a weekend gig as a receiver at an organic produce warehouse. It’s great because I get really good produce for free and with 2 daughters you just can’t have enough fruit and veggies lying around. The funny thing is I took a weekend job so I could have my week free for filming but most the indie stuff is being done by people with "day" jobs, so they want to film on the weekends. Luckily the people I work for are very cool and supportive so time off has never been an issue.

What actor out there annoys the hell out of you?

Sure there are but it’s not for lack of talent. Most the actors/actresses I don’t care for are the ones that seem to have taken their opportunities for granted. It’s just like having a boss that never had to do the grunt work or has just forgotten what it was like to be at the bottom of the ladder trying to make it all work. The thing that most of these people forget is that everyone on set talks to everyone else who in turn tells their friends and so on and so on and so on…. The stuff you over hear in wardrobe or make-up would just make your jaw drop. I think the captain of the first ship I was on summed it up best, he said "Dan, remember one thing. The toes you step on today, might belong to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow". Now when he told me that I thought he was nuts but the older I got, the more it made perfect sense and I have tried my best to stick to it. I guess it’s just a new spin on the "Golden Rule".

You’re into Martial Arts. What type and level are you at?

I haven’t been in a while but I was taking Tae Kwon Do. I managed to get my green belt and that’s about as far as it went. My schedule just got too crazy, the girls were born, bought a house that need some TLC and acting so something had to give.

Are you a health freak or a junk food eater?

I was raised on fried chicken, pork chops and potpies but since I do most of the cooking at home I try to make sure the family eats right. I was a chef for a long time so food is a serious thing for me. I do like the occasional "Fast food" run or having pizza night every once and a while. I guess I’m some where in the middle.

Were you also in the navy? What did you train for?

I was an "Operations specialist". I ran the radars, so I was responsible for contact/target data gathering, if they were friendly or not, course and speed, how close they would get to our ship and when. I also did navigation, radio telephone communication and I was the ships Intel photographer so if there was a bad guy out with us I had to take a crap load of pictures for the boys back at base. The space we worked in was the "Brain" of the ship and when the shit hit the fan it got real busy in there. Notable encounters: I was in the Philippines when Mt Pinatubo erupted, Desert storm, Saw a news helicopter crash right next to us in Okinawa, had a friend drown while we were in port (came back drunk and fell in walking up to the ship) crossed the equator (proud shellback!) and our ship ran aground. Funny thing is I joined the Navy to get away from trouble. Life’s funny like that some times.

Afterlife- believer or non believer?

I had a theory that you keep coming back till you get it right and only then do you get to "move on" so to speak. Never quite figured out where to but I go back and forth with this one all the time. This week….. Not so much. I don’t know if "Non-believer" is right, should be something like "Afterlife- Care or not?" and I think that saying I just don’t care is better. LOL

Review by AngryPrincess

Your typical rowdy college students are trying out to become pledges to their favorite sororities. They are forced to spend the night in a haunted house- surprise, how original….not! Anyway that doesn’t matter because this film is fun and reminded me a lot of Night Of The Demons with demon Angela but only this time it was a demonic professor who is offing them one by one.

The hot Tiffany Shepis plays Marsha who is not your average, prissy weak minded female. She plays the tough girl perfectly. She manages to keep her head straight even when things are totally falling apart. Brooke Burke makes a cameo as Jill in the very beginning but is killed off so quickly you wonder if it was really her on the screen during this two minute role that was her horror movie debut.

The storyline wasn’t anything special but it kept me watching and wondering how things were going to play out. The deaths were goofy and fun like a super long out of control tongue that needs to be severed to stop it’s attack. Will any of these pledges make it out of here alive? The things people do to get what they want, jeeze! Will Tim and Marsha finally get to kiss?

If you are sitting down expecting a seriously scary movie, this isn’t it- gory kind of, scary not really! If you like movies like Evil Dead, Night of the Demons, or anything with hot teens trying to survive the night under some spooky circumstances this is it! I liked The Hazing and would recommend it for a fun night sitting with a snack watching the blood spill

The Deaths of Ian Stone. After Dark Horrorfest. Lions Gate. By Brian Kirst

Ever since Lawrence, Kansas’ mid-60’s Carnival of Souls offering, a lost traveler experiencing ghost plagued strangeness generally means one thing. Your lead character is dead and simply doesn’t know it yet. Jacob’s Ladder and The Sixth Sense are perhaps the most famous, fairly recent versions of this plotline. Yet in the last handful of years we have also been offered Christine Taylor’s shocked surrender in Room 6, Monica Keena’s horrific struggle in Left in Darkness and Alexandra Holden’s mortified realizations in Dead End. The Deaths of Ian Stone, one of 2007’s 8 Films to Die For, starring Mike Vogel (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Cloverfield) appears to be more of the same. Each day Ian Stone wakes up leading a new existence. Death, occurring within a maximum of 24 hours, is his ultimate destination in each reality. Familiar “I can’t be dead yet, am I?” terriority, no?

Fortunately, writer Brendan Hood and director Dario Piana have something different in mind, though. Not only do Stone’s living conditions regress with each outing (he begins as a privileged hockey player and ends up as a drugged out loser), but they offer up an entirely different explanation for the events plaguing him. Granted, this surprise reasoning is delivered in a rather ponderous monologue, but ultimately Hood and Piana deliver something new and relatively strange in the horror universe, here. That alone is to be celebrated. The ending also kicks along nicely, underscored by some grotesque torture sequences and some action filled monster-ass-kicking battles.

As Stone, Vogel offers up a naturalistic, agreeable performance. You truly root for him and romantic interest Christina Cole (Casino Royale), whom all the fans of BBC’s Hexed will enjoy seeing again. Most importantly, Jaime Murray offers up a viscously seductive performance as Medea, culminating in scenes in which she is poured into a skin sealing red rubber outfit.

Cetus Productions are proud to present the worldwide release of their feature film CRAIG - the story about a young quiet man turning serial killer in dispair.

The film is directed by experienced actor Kim Sønderholm who also plays the lead as Craig. The film is his debut as a director. It has been described as something as odd as an artsy horror slasher with depth and atmosphere - drama, blood, murder, a dark underworld with plenty of gorgeous undressed women on the way.

Supporting Sønderholm on the acting side is, among others - Lloyd Kaufman (playing an obscure part as the god inside Craig’s mind), Manoush (Barricade, Amelie from Montmatre), Merete van Kamp (Osterman Weekend, Dallas), Jan Tjerrild (Westbrick Murders, Brutal Incasso), Ian Burns (Zookeeper, Prince of Jutland), Christian Magdu (Beck, Camp Slaughter), Peter Ottesen (Last Exit), Claire Ross-Brown (Pistoleros, Love Me Forever), Barbara Zatler (The Horror Vault, Predatory Instinct), Russ Diaper (Deadly Pursuit, Moonlight Murders), Lars Bjarke (The Idiots, Unit One), Anna Bård, Melany Denise, Karin Bertling, Alice Haaber, Anja Owe, Zöe Hunter, Simone Lykke, Christa Møller Nielsen and last but not least danish pin-up models Sarah Louise Christensen and Jenni Lykke Olsen.

The film is now available from the website www.craigthemovie.com - soon a limited edition double dvd will follow aswell. The second disc will contain a feature documentary called "Craig - A Killer in the Making", which is a look behind the scenes - an interview with director Kim Sønderholm and composed Russ Diaper, bloopers, alternative takes, deleted scenes and not forgetting the full recording sessions with Lloyd Kaufman and Manoush who both play parts in the film aswell.

The DVD available on the site is region free and there works on all DVD players, pal aswell as ntsc.

The Flesh and Blood Show and Horror Hospital - The Changing of the Horror Guard. By Brian Kirst

Famed horror director Pete Walker (Frightmare , House of Whipcord ) notes that in the early 1970’s the face of horror was beginning to change. People were no longer thrilled by the subtleties of the early Corman films and the monsters of Hammer horror. The public demanded more flesh and blood, so it is appropriate that Walker’s 1972 offering was called The Flesh and Blood Show . Indeed, The Flesh and Blood Show and other early 1970’s offerings like Horror Hospital can be seen in a defining light. They are the middle ground between the more quietly Gothic horrors and the full-on gore explosions of the present day.

In an interview feature on the The Flesh and Blood Show disc, Walker seems to lament the fact that he had to add copious nudity and blood shots to the picture to keep modern audiences entertained. Truthfully, though, these are the most interesting aspects about the film.

The film also entertains with its pre-slasher era influence. A young group of actors is hired to improvise a revue at an old theater off of a run down pier. These participants make the ensembles of the Friday the 13th films look brilliant in comparison, though. Having plenty of time to escape and several offerings of safe hospitality, the performers elect to stay at the gloomy, haunted theater even when their fellow cast mates begin to disappear and die. There are is also the introduction of some of the stock slasher film characters here. There’s the comic buffoon who has more luck with his silly joke effects than women, the virginal heroine and the randy, sex obsessed couple. The show the actors are rehearsing in the film is also patently ridiculous. It is incomprehensible and consists mainly of strange movement pieces - adding another, perhaps unintentional, amusing aspect.

Ultimately, while there are several effective stabbings in The Flesh and Blood Show , it is the nudity that rules the day here. In fact, the circumstances of skin bearing almost become humorous. One actress answers a mysterious knocking at her door, in the middle of the night, stark naked while another chooses to take a nap in the rehearsal space with her breasts fully exposed. Ultimately, there are several effective performances - mainly from the voluptuous Luan Peters and future General Hospital star Tristan Rogers as the rutting, sexually active couple.

While, The Flesh and Blood Show is more of an amusing time capsule (too mild for modern audiences and too extreme for those who cherish the calmer waters of Universal’s horrors) it is worth a look for slasher completists and was probably responsible for sending co-star Robin Askwith (who became a huge star in bawdy English comedies in the 70’s) onto his next, more successful project.

In 1973’s Horror Hospital , Askwith plays Jason, an out of control rock-n-roll personality sent on a relaxing holiday to a health resort in the English countryside. Of course, the crazed doctor residing over the leafy facility is turning the youths of London into grey, mindless zombies with his mind control experiments. Jason, with the help of the doctor’s assistant’s niece, Judy, soon uncovers the fiendish doctor’s plot and they must fight to save themselves from his brain slicing ways.

Filled to the brim with grisly bloodletting, decapitations and over-the-top performances, Horror Hospital is goofy fun. Mildly politically incorrect (with put upon dwarves and foppish, middle aged travel agents, and snippy drag queens), this is rainy day material if there ever was any. Michael Gough (the Batman television series) hams it up eccentrically as the crazed Doc Storm and he is met with equal ferocity by Ellen Pollock who plays Judy’s stern, un-giving Aunt. Director Anthony Balch also often supplies a rambling, go-for-broke energy.

In fact, add a little more music and delete the few mind numbing scenes concerning Jason’s travel to the grisly estate and his wanderings once he arrives there, and this could have been a midnight classic to rival the grandest midnight classic of all time - The Rocky Horror Picture Show .

Dark Tale Pits ‘Girlfriends’ Star Persia White, Hollywood Henchman Tony Longo Against ‘One Life to Live’ Soap Star Bruce Michael Hall in Apocalyptic Road Pic

CANNES, France, May 8 /PRNewswire / — "The Fall of Night," first-time feature director and USC grad Derrick Warfel’s "Twilight Zone"-like offering about a tarnished rock star’s horrific, desert run-in with a rogue prophet and his mysterious female sidekick, collected two awards in as many weeks last month when it was named Best Sci-Fi/Horror Film at the London Independent Film Festival (Apr. 14-19) and Best Sci-Fantasy/Horror Feature at the Bare Bones International Film Festival (Apr. 17-27) in Muskogee, Okla., it was announced today by Warfel’s Winter Star Prods.

Branded "a taut, edge-of-your-seat nail-biter" by Bare Bones director Oscar Ray, the time-twisting 86-min. drama/thriller — starring CW’s "Girlfriends" lead Persia White as the driven disciple, Tony Longo ("The Cooler") as her doomsday preacher and Bruce Michael Hall ("One Life to Live") as a musician on the lam who hitches a late-night ride from the calculating couple — will screen twice here during the Cannes Film Market (May 14-25): Mon. May 19 at Gray 4 at 11:30 a.m. and Thu. May 22 at Palais D at 3:30 p.m.

Seizing headlines in Oklahoma’s daily Tulsa World, which touted its "noted cast" and "suspenseful storyline," "The Fall of Night" logged its U.S. premiere at Bare Bones, following its world premiere at last fall’s Montreal World Film Festival. Film next competes in the Central Florida Film Festival (Aug. 28-31).

Bare Bones-winning picture — one of 149 overall entries made for the fest’s under-$1 mil budget requirement — was nominated for Best Ensemble for the cast rounded out by Australian TV personality Grant Bowler, "Hawaii Five-O" veteran Al Harrington, and indie comers Sera Bastian and Burke Roberts.

Oklahoma stand also saw Warfel — mentor of the speed filmmaking 168 Film Project in Burbank, CA — teach his "How to Make a Short Film in a Short Time on a Short Budget" seminar (based on his upcoming book) and participate in the fest-wrapping "Indie Producers Panel of Speakers."

The USC film school and Dallas Theological Seminary grad explained he wanted to make "Fall" a "visceral yet thinking person’s thriller, in the vein of Rod Serling’s great TV series." For more info, visit fallofnight.com, londonindependent.org or barebonesfilmfestivals.org.

Newly formed distribution company, The Independent Film Company, a joint venture between Big Screen Entertainment and Five Star Picturs, has acquired worldwide rights to a new film by Russian filmmaker, actor-director Rodion Nahapetov: thriller "Contamination".

May 8, 2008 — Newly formed distribution company, The Independent Film Company (IFC), a joint venture between Big Screen Entertainment and Five Star Picturs, has acquired worldwide rights to a new film by Russian filmmaker, actor-director Rodion Nahapetov: thriller "Contamination".

This film stars Eric Roberts, (The Dark Knight, Runaway Train), two time Golden Globe winner, Karen Black (Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Great Gatsby) and Nahapetov himself. It is the story of a dangerous psychiatrist (Eric Roberts), who "contaminates" his patients and turns them into lethal weapons, who respond to all his brutal commands. An innocent patient finds himself mixed up in this life and death struggle with the psychiatrist in the confines of a mental institution in Moscow.

"Rodion is a world-class talent," says Kimberley Kates, CEO of Big Screen Entertainment. "Audiences will respond to Rodion’s powerful film direction in portraying international characters and stories." Kates closed the deal herself with producer Natasha Shliapnikoff.

A winner of various international film festivals, Nahapetov is considered one of Russia’s most important contemporary filmmakers. His "At The Close of Night" was the first Russian film ever to be picked up by an American studio (Twentieth Century Fox).

IFC has also acquired several other titles of Nahapetov’s films: "Beyond the Border", "Innocence at Risk" "Murder, Lies and Deceipt" and "Deadly Betrayal." Each of these films are thrillers, portraying international characters. These films star: Gary Busey, Sean Young, Eric Roberts, Erik Estrada and Karen Black.

Nahapetov is presently working with Ray Bradbury on the screen adaptation of "Dandelion Wine", which will start principal photography next Spring.

"I am very excited to be working with the Independent Film Company and Kimberley Kates," states Nahapetov. All these films will be available at the Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festival - booth 26-01.

For the first time in over forty years, an outside investigator has filmed extensively within the organization. An important Satanic ritual was captured for the first time ever.

May 7, 2008 — New, controversial footage, from within the Church of Satan, has been released. It has been more than forty years since in-depth footage of the Church was shot, and a new Satanic ritual has been documented and publicly presented for the first time. It’s revealed and confirmed that public servants and various celebrities are, or have been, members of the Satanic Church, including Sammy Davis, Jr. and Jayne Mansfield. In interviews leading up to the un-cut ritual, one Satanist says, if there is a God who feels Satanists should roast in hell, "He can go _ himself," and that all people are not created equal. Another said Christianity is "like a rabies."

The footage was captured by independent filmmaker Joshua P. Warren. He was granted unprecedented access to the Church, traveling internationally to live with Satanists and document the most intimate aspects of their philosophy. He has now released it in his new documentary, "Inside the Church of Satan."

"I’m an agnostic and my co-producer, C. Eric Scott, is a Christian," said Warren. "We approached this with an open, curious mind, investigating the Church to find the truth about their agenda. Christians, Satanists, Pagans, Atheists, and perhaps everyone else will appreciate what we found."

In December of 2007, the Catholic Pope formed exorcism squads to tackle the rising tide of Satanism across the world. Warren’s new film will show what many of those bishops are fighting.

Aside from the complete ritual, "Inside the Church of Satan" includes a lengthy, candid interview with Peter H. Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan, along with a witch, priests, and members of various ranks. Warren asks questions probing most aspects of their agenda and beliefs.

"My goal was to create a movie, addressing all of life’s most difficult issues, that would give the audience a complete understanding of what the Church of Satan is about, for better or for worse," Warren notes. "After this experience, I feel our governments do reflect Satanic principles." Sprinkled with satire, the film addresses all from sacrifice and murder to political positions regarding the Biblical "mark of the beast" and 666.

Warren, a professional radio host in Asheville, North Carolina, originally interviewed High Priest Peter H. Gilmore on the air, was overwhelmed with controversial feedback, and felt the Church was a good candidate for a "shockumentary," as he calls it. After special negotiations, the Church allowed him to come inside and objectively document its operation.

Warren says, "Frankly, I don’t know why they allowed me as the first person in so many decades. They said they thought I was the right guy at the right time. So I did my best. And yes, as you’ll see, I was surprised by what I found."

Aside from the never-before-documented Satanic ritual, the film includes nudity, satirical depictions of baby butchering, anti-Christian language, and scenes where Warren himself attempts to conjure up "the Devil" on camera.

For now, "Inside the Church of Satan," and a free preview of the film, are only available through www.InsideTheChurchOfSatan.com online.

The Lovely Fiona Horsey plays Julie the chambermaid at a luxurious hotel full of freaks. The odd hotel owner to be O’Ryan is stuck taking care of his miserable aging mother so she won’t cut him out of her will and the hotel won’t become his growing empire. O’Ryan is a sexual deviant that sits on the computer chatting with people he hopes to meet up with to experience some of these sick fantasies.

Julie has the stereo typed rock star boyfriend who is strung out on dope and using her for her money as well as her body. A really wacky situation arises (hee hee) while Julie is in cleaning one of the rooms and O’Ryan has to fire her, mommy’s orders you see! Luckily Julie finds a way to keep her job so she can keep supporting her man’s addiction. Then like we all knew it would, shit goes sour and she is forced to move in with momma’s boy!

The Chambermaid put Horsey in another odd role but not as odd as the character in Angst. In one scene she is giving her boyfriend head and O’Ryan comes in and stands there watching until they are done. When she turns to tell him to fix them all a meal her face looks like a glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme. I knew I should of been skeeved out but I laughed my ass off!

This is a dark comedy to spin your head round with it’s crude humor…I freakin loved it. Now if you like to go to church on Sundays and get your communion, you are going to have to go to the confessional and commit to this guilty pleasure with a blush lightly covering your cheeks from embarrassment, but deep down you know your lying because you liked it and told all of your friends about!

NOT so long ago, would-be film producers Kieran Parker and Arabella Page Croft had doors closed in their faces whenever they tried to pitch ideas to executives. Now Hollywood studios are chasing the Glasgow-based pair begging for details of the projects they currently have on the drawing board.
"Last week we had phone calls from Sony, Warner Brothers, Pathé, Content, all saying, ‘When are your scripts ready and what have you got for us?’" says Page Croft, who is Parker’s partner in both senses of the word.

The dramatic change in their industry status is due to a low-budget horror movie about Nazi zombies that used Dumfriesshire to double for Eastern Europe and got made only because the pair could not get the cash together for other more prestigious film projects.

Outpost recouped its £1.2 million budget even before anyone had seen the finished version, when Sony bought UK and US rights on the strength of 15 minutes of footage.

It has already been released on DVD in the US, where it not only received positive reviews, but also prompted a serious internet debate about the logic and viability of the secret Nazi experiments at the heart of the story.

Lizzy is a bad girl. She is an outcast at school who doesn’t care about anything or anyone….including herself. Her best friend Kevin and her go for a drunken joy ride popping ecstasy and wind up dead, only Lizzy is brought back and she thinks something evil might of come along for the ride. Urban Ghost Story leads you thru this story with a steady build up leading you right up to the finish.

One night when Lizzy and her young brother are sleeping when they here the familiar scratching and know that something is there with them. When her mother comes in to yell about her scaring her brother an incident occurs to make her really question if it is just Lizzy being mean and terrifying. The music in this scene is what makes it so scary and stand out so well.

Urban Ghost Story’s dark atmosphere along with all of the tests the doctors put Lizzy thru reminded me of The Exorcist. Child Services step in and plan on taking the kids away from the single mother thinking that she might be abusing them. Watch as doctors try to determine whether Lizzy is psychologically ill, or is there another reason for all these strange experiences.

There is nothing like a good old fashioned ghost story to sink your teeth into. Watch as this poor family goes thru absolute hell trying to figure out the cause to their insanity. Everyone that offers to help is really only there to benefit themselves whether it be research or a story for the local newspaper. Try to figure out on your own what the mystery is behind these unusual events that take place in this modern ghost story.
