Jay Kay talks THE GREASY STRANGLER with Stars Elizabeth De Razzo and Michael St. Michaels!!
A truly distinctive and unique vision takes luck and a variety of factors to come together while swimming in a sea of uniformity. Perhaps the most unique, dirty and hilariously twisted film on this year’s film festival circuit comes from the minds of Jim Hosking, Toby Harvard, DRAFTHOUSE FILMS, ROOK FILMS, SPECTREVISION and TIMPSON FILMS. […]
Intense Survivalist Thriller CARNAGE PARK Heads to DVD/Bluray This November!
At Icons of Fright, we’re fans of director Mickey Keating’s work. One of the most diverse filmmakers around, each film of Keating’s feels completely different from the previous one and the director never feels the need to repeat himself. Thanks to the crew over at Scream Factory and their partnership with IFC Midnight, Keating’s survivalist […]
SEVEN More Scream Factory Releases You Don’t Want To Miss!!
A little while back, we wrote about Twenty Essential Scream Factory Releases, which were DVD/Blurays releases that the gang at Scream Factory knocked right out of the park. It was a fun, overwhelmingly in depth project to take on, going through my SF collection (I’m a self-proclaimed fanatic of the brand, and will continue to […]
Review: THE DEMOLISHER
There’s a level of accomplishment that very few films are able to pull off: being able to be striking and effective without having to rely on continual dialogue. These days, the typical audience member tends to put their money and attention towards films that are fast-paced and have a lack of room to breathe, and […]
Review: THE MIND’S EYE
2013’s ALMOST HUMAN showcased not only the talents of director Joe Begos, actor/editor Josh Ethier and actor Graham Skipper, but a genuine love for all things John Carpenter and David Cronenberg. The gory body invasion film caught people off guard during its festival run and when released, it quickly became a film that genre lovers […]
Beyond Fright Review: BLUE JAY (2016)
We all have one. A first love that made us see life through optimistic blinders and caused us to look at our future in an eyes wide open type of way. We wished and expected the best for each other and there wasn’t a damned thing that would sway that young love flowing through those […]
Fantastic Fest Review: RAW
Not since John Fawcett’s Canadian cult classic GINGER SNAPS and more recently Jonas Alexander Arnby’s WHEN ANIMALS DREAM has such truth and vulnerability been shown within each frame of horror storytelling, showing an amalgamation of cannibalism, vampirism and a coming of age-like rite of passage like the French/Belgium film RAW. Submerged with a weary and inexperienced sense of understanding, […]
Bluray Review: CARRIE (1976)
Scream Factory over the last couple years has become a household name for horror fans and collectors of physical media. Creating “collector’s editions” of cult favorites like GINGER SNAPS and PSYCHO 2 helped build a reputation of putting out movies for the real fans who often feel ignored and spend absurds amount of money to […]
