Welcome back, Muties. If you’re tired of the onslaught of remakes and found footage horror – then the Doctors of Horror at MVP have the cure. This week, we’re featuring an indie gem called Among The Fallen from filmmaker Jay Shatzer. In my journeys across the Internetz, I often critique independent horror films that are posted online. It’s an exercise that keeps me sharp, keeps me in touch with the community, and best of all introduces me to true ground level no holds barred indie horror.
This week, I had the good fortune to watch Among The Fallen which tells the story of a writer struggling to survive the night when besieged by his personal demons and a horde of ghouls. Among The Fallen features gorgeous cinematography, Fulci-like ghouls and a story that everyone can identify with.
That’s right, The Crazies is being released on DVD on June 29th, 2010. I’m sure I’ll remember this film for a long time because we (Mutantville) saw it in the theater with the legendary Matthew Ewald.
For the most part I liked it. The camera angles were good. Nice camera movement. Great zombie or infected make up though. It is a remake of the George A. Romero film. You’ll notice on the credits that Romero was an executive producer on the film. The original film came out in 1973. To make the new film period, everyone walks around in bell bottom pants to the disco soundtrack. Ok, none of that last sentence is true.
If you’re thinking about picking it up on DVD, Help us out and get it here. We greatly appreciate the assistance!
With its lurid title and anti-government paranoia, The Crazies bears the stamps of the 1970s original from the start, but it fits our times remarkably well. We’re discovering poison in baby formula from China, so how much of a leap is …
