Take a "Chance" on "Something Like a Phenomenon"

 
Last year, around this time, I reviewed a short film by the name of "The Timeslip" by Jonathan and Richard Chance.  I was quite impressed with this award winning short, and made it quite clear that I would love to see what they could do with a feature length film.  I was also pleased to have John answer some of my "Grave Questions"

Several months ago, John let it slip that he was working on a feature length project called, "Somthing Like a Phenomenon"- based on the events that took place in the famous Borley Rectory.  The story centers around the renown paranormal investigator, Harry Price, and the year he spent investigating the rectory with fifty volunteers.

The script made it to the semi-finals of the 2012 Shriekfest competition, and has begun production.  John was kind enough to send us a poster for the movie!
I love the look of this poster.  It not only echoes the visual style of posters from the late 1930's, but also has a nice Cthulu type motif to it.  This poster would actually look great as a book cover as well.

Now, I not only love my horror films, but I am also a bit of a paranormal researcher as well.  Borley Rectory, and Harry Price's year long investigation of the haunting there has always held a facsination for me.  There has always been controversy surrounding Harry Price and this investigation.

I'm really excited and eager to see the direction John takes with this movie.

Check out the website for the film, and it's Facebook page too!

Zombie Bikers From Detroit (2001)

Over the years, it has been shown that with very little money, a skillful director can put together a high quality horror movie (John Carpenter's " Halloween ", " The Blair Witch Project ", and " Paranormal Activity " being a few of them).  So, when it comes to determining a movie's quality, budget is no longer a negative... Ken and his mother have moved from Hell, Michigan to Grosse Pointe near Detroit.  Upon his arrival, he meets the lovely Courtney, and her jealous suitor Chad.  While Ken and Chad square off, an evil is growing within Detroit and slowly spreading towards Grosse Point... where Ken will meet his destiny ... This week's " What Movie Wednesday " winner was " Zombie Bikers From Detroit "- a low budget horror movie that feels like it was put together as a school project.  High School, or College... I can't really tell. The premise- as stated in my little synopsis is interesting- as was the title.  ...

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death.  Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her.  Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development.  It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story.  It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad...

Demon Seed (Dean Koontz)

  Susan has withdrawn from the world  after her divorce from her abusive husband.  Her mansion contains state of the art household automation.  She is secure from the dangers of modern Life.  She is safe from an unsafe world... Too bad her mansion had other ideas... The idea of a Alexa/Siri controlled house going haywire may sound like something written within the past decade, but you might be surprised that Dean Koontz actually wrote this book back in 1973. That's right.  Just five years after " 2001: A Space Odyssey " hit theatres, Koontz wrote this book brining HAL to a more personal level, while predicting the advent of programs like Alexa and Siri. This book is actually a pretty quick read at 301 pages.  The story progresses and builds at a steady and fast pace.  The writing is smooth and seamless as the tension and events unfold before you.  I lost track of time as I turned page after page.  I loved that this book was written from ...
