Crash by way of Ballard and Cronenberg, the 1970s and 1980s through Netflix's eyes, and trashy horror flicks are just some of what's been setting the tone of my July 2018...

Screenplay Sample Pages - How Mr Snuffles III and Others Met Their Maker...
How Mr Snuffles III and Others Met Their Maker is a dark comedy
novella I wrote concerning the twisted exploits of Elnora, a pet
therapist with a sideline in post-mortem pet portraiture, and Parker, a
gifted taxidermist, who join forces to explore the limits of love,
death, and psychopathy in the warped world of celebrityville. You can
find out more info about it HERE.
I have since adapted it into a screenplay, which allowed me to expand on the characters and story first established in the novella - and now you can read some sample pages from the script.
These twenty-five pages are all taken from various points in the first half of the screenplay, giving you just enough of a taste without revealing too much. READ THEM HERE.

FWOAN - the V.R. Experience...
Following on from our charity screening in May - during which we raised £350 for OCD Action - we have now released a Virtual Reality experience which takes place inside the world of Marty, the protagonist in the film. A representative from OCD Action came along on the day and has done a write-up of the event, as well as the V.R. experience, with a selection of pictures.
Check out the article HERE.
The V.R. experience can be viewed on YouTube and gives you a glimpse inside Marty's world, featuring clips from the film as well as some facts about OCD to help give a clearer picture about the condition. The V.R. experience also features a version of a pivotal scene in the film featuring Lisa Opara as Sally, which we get to see from Marty's POV.
Check out the V.R. experience HERE.

Blastfighter (Lamberto Bava, 1984) DVD Review
Find more exploitation reviews here.
“You only get peace when
you can impose it.” Lamberto Bava, son of the iconic Italian filmmaker
Mario Bava, never quite achieved the creative heights of his father's catalogue
of cinematic treats (Mario kick started the entire giallo movement with The Girl Who Knew Too Much in 1963), but he has nonetheless carved out a
recognised and beloved niche in Italian genre cinema. Macabre, Body
Puzzle, A Blade in the Dark, Delirium, and particularly Demons, will
all be familiar to aficionados of European exploitation movies, but whereas Demons
dispensed with characterisation and any shred of plot logic in favour of
scatter gun gore, Lamberto's 1984 action thriller Blastfighter crafts a
character-rich story which dispenses frequent action while still keeping the
viewer emotionally invested...
