I Am Not A Hero: Manborg

ManborgPic1

Hellbots. Katana blades. War. Cyberpunk-dystopia-supreme. Demonic first impressions going down like lead balloons. One hero must rise from the ashes of humanity, forged in the retro-futuristic technology of 198X to save us from the foulest evil of the darkest depths of hell and banal, idiotic mainstream entertainment. Welcome to Manborg, the newest addition to the [...]

Phantasmagoric Body Horror Like No OTHER

419092_285726721500204_1258477915_n

To preface Daniel DelPurgatorio’s Other, a short film in the Body Horror sub-genre, is no easy task. Much like Klagger, The Second Self, and a lot of short films covered here there is a lot of creativity and density packed into a short time frame. Also like the other shorts we’ve had the pleasure of [...]

HorrorHound Weekend Recap: The Agony and the Ecstasy Part 2

Sept-Web-Site-Image

I never adjusted to the time change. A creature of habit and natural symptom of the night, I despise mornings. It should have been no surprise I’d oversleep, much as I have every day for the last seven years. I write this in fact, coming from a fever induced slumber. If it picks back up, [...]

HorrorHound Weekend Recap: The Agony and The Ecstasy, Part 1

Sept-Web-Site-Image

24 hours ago I returned from HorrorHound Weekend Indianapolis. I attended the event to bear witness on behalf of Globsters everywhere, to speak to the icons of Horror that we’ve watched indefinitely, to bear goodwill when available, and to get to the heart of the beast. I had entertained the notion of conventions for years, [...]

ShrunkenHead

48 hours from now Cinemaglob is going to be oozing horror goodness at HorrorHound Weekend Indy (barring the usual catastrophic events that keep things from getting done, at least – Murphy needs to take a break), and in celebration we’re doing our second round of Micro Reviews. If you’ve scoped out the webpage for the [...]

Basking in Positive Darkness with 1,2,3, Whiteout – The End of the Light Age

1b76cba75bafaecae9a4d5d623a7f292

Since receiving 1,2,3, Whiteout I’ve watched this picture many, many times. I’ve struggled to get to the heart of the film and while that created a delay in analysis, Whiteout is a very thought provoking movie that I didn’t feel comfortable with discussing until I could make sense of it. I’ve come to the consensus [...]

The Watch – Aliens or Something

Blah Blah Blah Imminent invasion, Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan, I don’t care. This looks like a bankable summer comedy that will be calculated to please and be passably hilarious, and while I never tire of comedy, no matter how phoned in or expected, I’m going to watch this film for one simple reason: [...]

Unrelenting Vision Perserveres: Jakob Bilinski

In the kingdom of the blind, the man with one eye is king, so they say. Jakob Bilinski is neither blind nor cyclopic, so by this logic, he’s the master of a plane of his own creation, a passionate and earnest man with a unique vision and undaunted determination. Since one blatantly obvious statement deserves [...]

To do their message justice, here’s a quick word with Joe Dante and other TFH! alumni. Oh, and if [...]
