ABOUT THE FILM

Cindy is a twenty-something girl who has had a rough life. She believes that her wealthy mother killed her father and got away with it. After years of running from this horrible past, she turned finally to heroin to cope with her painful memories.

In reality truly caring for her daughter but being emotionally unable to reach out to her child as she should, Cindy's mother uses her obscene wealth to find a way to get her daughter the treatment she feels she needs; a radical, experimental treatment: DEIMOSIMINE; a drug that causes an addict to experience powerfully negative emotional reactions to the drugs they crave. Theoretically, the patient will not want to go back to those dark places that the reaction of the DEIMOSIMINE creates in their minds, and thus stop using.

An unforeseen factor, however, causes Cindy to have a different reaction to the drug than is anticipated, and the results are a bloody and horrific journey into misunderstood madness.

Believing she's begun the road to recovery, Cindy will find herself enveloped in the subconscious horror that the drug creates in her psyche; a world of demons, evil, blood, and death. Despite her efforts and those of they who support her, she will find herself a slave to the drug, and the demented terrors of the world that it shows to her. The tragedy of a soul brought to such heinous destruction of the undeserving will be showcased as her perception brings bloody vengeance on the perceived threats to herself and society.

The film will consist of monsters, demons, on screen blood-baths, and crazy set pieces. This is surely going to be a fun film.

We hope everyone in the group enjoys the production ride and helps us get this bat-shit crazy film made.

FX

Providing the makeup and creature FX, is underground horror filmmaker and FX artist Ryan Nicholson. Ryan is best know for his own films Gutterballs, Gutterballs 2, Collar, and more.

The variant cover is the result of a new partnership between US-based Wisdumb Productions and Geeky Comics in the UK.

“Geeky Comics has an established fan base that love horror so Escape from Jesus Island fits well with our readers,” said Geeky president Victor Wright. “Its gorgeous, bloody style attracts new eyes every show we attend.

“Geeky has been selling our first two issues at UK conventions as fast as I can ship them, so we’re psyched to give them a kickass cover all their own for Episode 3,” said EFJI writer Shawn French. “Artist Mortimer Glum went all kinds of crazy on this variant artwork and it’ll be fun watching people’s reactions.”

The controversial series is also being adapted into a video game by veteran designer Eric Pavone (Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Army of Two). The dungeon crawler will serve as a prequel to the comics and is a twisted coming of age story about a young Antichrist and his cannibalistic mutant horde.

Film Review: The Drownsman

"The Drownsman” is one of those films that I’ve been looking forward to seeing since hearing during last year’s Fantasia International Film Festival. The film is directed Chad Archbald, the co-writer of “Antisocial”, which is a film from last year that I highly recommend. Still if this didn’t have that, I would’ve still found a way to check this film out because the trailer for this film looks very creepy.

The film follows a woman (Michelle Mylett) who is recovering from almost drowning in an accident. She suddenly starts to develop aquaphobia. Her friends try to help her out of this predicament but they accidently unleash a murderous spirit known as the drownsman. Now, he is stalking her and her friends. It forces them to try and find a way out, before he drags them into a world of immersed torment where there isn’t a way out.

Sometime a film that you’ve been wanting see so bad, turns into a film that leave your head scratching and makes you wonder why I was interested in the film in the first place. This happened with “The Drownsman”, as this was a bad film. It surprises me that it’s bad considering the names that were involved in this film were also behind the entertaining horror film “Antisocial”.

Chad Archbald’s direction was not good at all. One of the things that I didn’t like about his direction was the way the pace of the film moves. Whether it was the way the film shot to the killer’s look, everything helped make the film feel very dull to the point that I was bored with what was happening in the film. But at least, Archbald managed to keep the film somewhat interesting with the way that he directs his cast. He does a good job making sure that the performances aspect kept my interested with the film’s story. Too bad, he couldn’t come up with a screenplay that would’ve enhanced the performances and make this a better film.

The screenplay was surprisingly bad considering that I liked their last screenplay “Antisocial”. One of the things that I didn’t like about Chad Archbald’s and Cody Calahan screenplay was the fact that the death scenes weren’t written well as it didn’t generate any reaction. Usually in a horror film, the death scenes is handled to turn up the intensity of the story. This film didn’t do it until near the end of the film. I was bored watching them for the other two thirds, as it didn’t make me feel horrified and shake me at the cord. Part of it has to do with the way the scenes were written and part of it had to do with the fact the characters weren’t interesting to even care. The other thing that I didn’t like about their screenplay was the fact certain things were rushed. Things like the lack of character development in the beginning of the film to how some of the death scenes went too fast and deprived it from generate any scares. If some of the scenes were slowed down, then this would’ve been more of an effective screenplay. Instead, the film’s screenplay drags this film down.

I had some expectation going into this film, but this sadly left me disappointed. “The Drownsman” drowns due to its screenplay and its dull action.

Review Rating: One Star

Struggling to cope with past sexual trauma and the daily aggressions of a male-dominated society, she creates grotesquely-costumed alter egos that reappropriate the male form. While giving her the sense of power she craves, acting as these characters pushes her further into a world of her own making. When she begins a new relationship with a seemingly good guy, she opens herself up to him - but that vulnerability comes at a dangerous cost, and her alter egos threaten to lash out in explosive violence. Based on the real experiences and art of co-writer/star Amy Everson, Felt doesn't just point a finger at rape culture; it takes a full on swing at it, creating a feminist psychological thriller that audiences will be hard-pressed to shake off.
