With so many horror fans telling us how tired they are of Hollywood remakes, we thought it would be cool to run an "Indie Horror Spotlight" feature.
So, for the first one we'll kick it off with a flick that's been making the rounds at horror festivals everywhere since 2007. The "found footage" documentary called Long Pigs.
Check out the IMDb synopsis below, as well as the trailer below and our Long Pigs Review.
Synopsis From IMDb:
A documentary by two desperate young filmmakers who stumble upon the ultimate subject, a 33 year old cannibalistic serial killer named Anthony McAllister, who has agreed to let them document every aspect of his horrifically violent life-style. Initially terrified, the filmmakers get to know Anthony as a person. They even begin to identify with his ecological and philosophical justifications for his cannibalistic lifestyle. It's only when they investigate further that the filmmakers begin to doubt Anthony's accounts of his past.

Unquestionably the pick of the week is Shutter Island. If you missed it in theatres, now's your chance to watch some real masters at work. Scorsese. DiCaprio. It's obvious both are still in their prime. As an added treat there's Michelle Williams, who manages to do quite a lot with a very small role.
So, what else do we have coming on June 8th? How about Reggie Bannister in Metal Man as Dr. Arthur Blake, a bio-mech engineer who is murdered by evil weapons dealer Sebastian Reed, who uses ninja henchmen and his ultimate secret weapon, the Mecha Terror robot,...
