Well, it finally happened. After 13 years of work, my bill paying job decided to make me redundant, I can't say I think much of their timing, telling me just before Christmas - tis the season to be jolly indeed. The bad part of that is that obviously, I won't be having an income to pay my many bills, and a side result that I can no longer afford to subscribe to streaming platforms, so will be more limited in what I can get to review. On the brighter side, I have redundancy pay that should last me at least a few months, and even better in terms of this blog - I am now going to have a hell of a lot of free time. I'm intending to spend a solid month treating this site as if it was a full time job; doing full time 9-5 hours on it. I don't think that will really present itself in any obvious form. I plan to get a heap of 'rainy days' reviews written, working my way through my DVD collection. I also plan to carry on going back through the literally thousands of old posts, editing them, replacing broken images, and adding them to a more stream-lined index. Anyway, happy Christmas from this Obsolete Man/Zombie. Onward to the news.
First up; VIPCO & BayView Entertainment have released horror film Spirits in the Dark, with it now available to watch on Plex and Tubi. The film is about a reclusive man named Gil, who after the death of his wife and new-born daughter, has decided to focus full time on his only hobby - visiting abandoned buildings and filming his experiences in order to upload them to the internet. One day, Gil discovers strange footage on his PC that he is convinced he didn't make, which leads to what sounds like a potential night of terror.
Geno McGahee's upcoming Satanic panic horror film - Dark Places, has finished filming, with a release planned for 2026. Inspired by 70s cult classics such as Devil's Rain and Race with the Devil, this sees a group of students investigating the murders of a bunch of professors at their college. The horror stars Lindsey DeLand, Jake Tyler, Danell Reese, Lorrie Bacon, Amy Trent, and Phil Godeck among others.
Finally for today, Indie Rights have secured worldwide distribution rights to horror Air Shift, written and directed by Chris Maes. The film tells the story of a female DJ who not only finds herself captured by a wandering serial killer during her night-time shift, but has the double whammy of bad luck of a zombie uprising taking place nearby. Air Shift stars Ashlee Lawhorn, Patrick Andrew Jones, Margarita Gamarnik, Alex Diehl, and Donald Imm. I love a good zombie film, but can't say the film's title is that captivating.
