No Caller ID

No Caller I.D. is exactly how I love my short horror films… short and scary from beginning to end. The story wastes no time and gets right to the point, which is perfect. I was so pumped all the way through and found myself screaming at the screen. Sure we’ve …

A Father’s Day recently screened at Screamfest in Los Angeles and we had the privilege of checking it out. In the true fashion of any good zombie movie, A Father’s Day is full of gratuitous blood, guts, dismemberment and plenty of flesh eating walkers. The makeup and special effects are …
