Already a big fan of 'Hellions'.
I'm always moaning about this, but I can find far fewer good, weird indie / microbudget horror films out there these days, whereas ten years ago there seemed to be a glut of that kind of thing. I suppose streaming has a lot to answer for - maybe all the stuff that would have been there on DVD back in the day is tucked away on Prime or some place I can't be bothered to explore fully. It could also be that the explosion of found footage stuff and emulation of 'jump scare' approaches that worked in the mainstream have turned a lot of indie to drivel. Looking at my shelf, three quarters of it is plush 70s/80s/90s blu ray re-releases - nice, but a bit sad considering reviewing new obscure stuff used to be my mainstay. So, to cut a long story short, yeah any recommendations along the lines of the films you mentioned are always welcome. |
A few low budget goodies i've enjoyed in the last 18 months have been (Some of these i listed elsewhere the other day)
The Reckoning A Werewolf in England
The Owners
The Village in the Woods
Island Zero
Crone Wood
Prey (If you like the films of Dick Maas)
Echoes of Fear (More a mystery than a horror)
Darlin' The Boy (Although this is quite old, i only saw it recently)
Deep Blue Sea 3 (If you enjoy trashy shark films that aren't as OTT as the Sharknado ones)
The Ringmaster (A nice throwback to the days of torture porn)
And i've picked up
The Ghosts of Borley Rectory and
The 100 Candles Game from Asda this last two weeks as blind buys.
