During the 2015 SXSW Film Festival, Daily Dead had the opportunity to catch up with several members of the cast and crew for Deathgasm, the wildly raucous tribute by Jason Lei Howden to all things horror and metal. We heard from Howden, producers Ant Timpson, Andrew Beattie as well as co-stars Milo Cawthorne and Kimberley Crossman about their involvement in the project and much more.
I have to congratulate you all on a great film- it was insanely fun to watch with a crowd like this and you certainly found some really unusual ways of killing people with sex toys which was beyond crazy.
Jason Lei Howden: Funny story about that; Andrew popped over with the “Church Stuff” box that was filled with dildos and said it was my gift from production. And they ended up accidentally in our garage sale; I had forgotten about them and some guy was...

If you haven’t been paying attention to the latest foreign horror imports, than you’ve been missing out on some tremendous films. While you might assume that a majority of these are European efforts, there’s another locale that’s making quite a genre name for itself – New Zealand. Peter Jackson started with films like Bad Taste and Dead Alive, but that was long ago, and since those years, New Zealand hasn’t bothered to traverse the waters of horror with much enthusiasm – until now. Thanks to producer Ant Timpson, a frequent collaborator with Alamo’s Tim League, New Zealand is once again making a name for itself in a forgotten genre, and Deathgasm is just the latest shining example.
With a title like Deathgasm, filmmaker Jason Lei Howden could have been setting himself up for utter disaster, but thankfully that’s far from the case. You can read...

Wound Movie PosterDirector David Blyth (Death Warmed Up) is a New Zealand based horror director who is no stranger to controversy. His film Angel Mine challenged censorship standards and his feature Death Warmed Up incorporated themes of matricide and patricide. Now, after a six year pause, Blyth returns with another shocking film piece entitled Wound.
This latest film takes some material from Greek myth and modernizes the work for a new audience. The film tackles abuse and abandonment issues as character Susan (Kate O'Rourke) confronts some family problems in a very disturbing manner. A second photo for the film is available below, but here is a warning before you proceed; the still below is graphic, gorey and not safe for work. Have a look at all the available material on Wound, here, before these elements of Greek tragedy make an appearance on the big screen at Frightfest August 29th.
