Lately my blog has been going through a very mild alteration. I have gotten out of my habit of needing to do five blog posts a week, mainly due to often being busy every other weekend. It is summer here in the U.K and thankfully the heat has been manageable so far, with only a few really hot days to speak of. On a dull personal note, I am currently avoiding coffee, instead have turned to my childhood drink of choice - tea. Exciting times indeed.
On July 16th an Indiegogo campaign was launched to get funds for indie horror film Evil Usher. This is inspired by silent movies of the 1920's and is to be a slasher film particularly inspired by such German expressionist horror films like The Man Who Laughs, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu. Created by Chicago-based filmmaker Lomai, this is to be about a movie-obsessed man whose new job at a local movie theatre leads to him taking extreme measures against visitors who don't show the appropriate level of respect for the theatre.

Out on VOD and Digital today is Midnight Taxi. Written and directed by Bertie Speirs and Samantha Speirs, this is about a sleep deprived night-time cab driver who one shift is startled to discover the body of a woman in the road near where he had been getting some rest. From this moment on, the cab driver begins to sleepwalk, a condition he has had since a child. With unsettling dreams he comes to believe its possible he may have been involved with the death of the woman while in a sleepwalking state, and so decides to privately investigate the murder himself in order to clear his conscience.
Finally for today, The Luring is now on Amazon Prime Video, Tubi and other platforms. This indie feature film was winner of the Best Thriller at the Motor City Nightmares International Film Festival, with the film inspired by creepy 1956 short film The Red Balloon. The synopsis has a man returning to his family's Vermont based vacation home where a dark act took place, with the hope it will restore a missing memory that the man has. The film was shot at the former home that director Christopher Wells' family used to own, with the themes of the movie including sexual power dominance, submission and elements of BDSM.
