Devil's Crossing and Turning on the Devil: A Movie Review

30 December 2011 4:00 AM, PST | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »

*a screener of this film was provided by Left Films.

Director/writer: James Ryan Gary.

Cast: Michael Sharpe, Patrick G. Keenan, Jenny Gulley and Kevin L. Johnson.

Devil's Crossing is the first film from the very young director James Ryan Gary. Seriously, this guy looks twenty in his interviews. The film is a blend of the western and horror genres as zombies promise to take over the world. Devil's Crossing is similar to other films like the recent Cowboys and Zombies, Olivier Beguin's short film "Dead Bones" and Spencer Estabrooks' "Dead Walkers." All of these are great films including Gary's latest entry. This title will release in the United Kingdom January 30th and it is already available in North America; this reviewer would recommend the film to indie horror fans across the board.

The film begins with the character Shadrach played by Michael Sharpe. He is digging his »

"Employee of the Month" and Long Unemployment Lines for Monsters: A Short Film Review

2 October 2011 7:00 AM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »

Director: Olivier Beguin.

Writers: Olivier Beguin and Colin Vettier.

"Employee of the Month" or "Employe du Mois" is director Olivier Beguin's latest short film which deals with out of work horror personnel. There is the zombie, the mummy, the fairy, the ghost the vampire and Satan himself. Currently on the film festival circuit, including a stop at Stiges, "Employee of the Month" is a French film full of laughs. Unemployment is a serious issue, but here Beguin shows the special needs of several supernatural characters.

The zombie has tried construction, being a butcher and other jobs, but his body parts keep falling off! This makes finding steady work difficult. He finds a job as a crisis support worker, with his grunts and groans helping people to get over grief and other difficult life situations. The brain dead and undead still have a function in life.
