Ahhhh....There's those few directors, that, when they
announce a new project, make indie film enthusiasts like myself get excited.
James Balsamo is one of those guys. He's a fan of goofy, low-fi horror flicks
that makes goofy, low-fi horror flicks for other fans of goofy, low-fi horror
flicks, and that, friends, is a very good thing!
"here fishy-fishy..."
"Hack Job", "I
Spill Your Guts" and the aptly titled "Cool As Hell" have primed
the horror/action/comedy pump, so to speak, for Balsamo's new joint "Catch
of the Day".
Judging from the very Lovecraftian fish monster on the poster
art, this looks like more cheesy goodness from Acid Bath Productions (home of
the coolest logo ever!). Featuring the always smiling Mr. Balsamo in the lead
(this guy seems to be having the time of his life on camera in all of his
films), "Catch of the Day" will feature a shit-ton of cameos culled
from the indie film and music elite. The list, which is just as eclectic as
James' previous efforts, will include: Tuesday Knight, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts,
Debbie Rochon (fuck yes!), Johnny Legend, Jennifer Banko, Irwin Keyes, Carmine
Capobianco and lead singer of Suffocation Frank Mullen. Can't wait to review
this little slice of fishy-ness! The flick is already available for pre-order
online through the Acid Bath Productions site at www.acidbathproductions.com/store.
that's one lucky monitor!
My favorite
Canadian, the amazing Jessica Cameron, is currently shopping her directorial
debut, "Truth or Dare" on the festival circuit, so add that to the
list of stuff I'm dying to review as well.
"see what happens when you run with scissors, you little fuckers?"
Featuring the co-writing talents of
Jonathan Higgins, and an awesome duo of actresses, Devanny Pinn and Heather
Dorff (as well as the aforementioned Ms. Cameron and a slew of others), "Truth
or Dare" looks like a gory good time! If you can take anything away from
the photos popping up on social media, it's that screening rooms of some of
your favorite conventions will soon be splattered with the red stuff! Horror
nerds rejoice!! http://truthordarethemovie.com/
The
extremely busy and talented Jessica has also been recently added to the cast of
noted director Pearry Teo's new flick "Bedlam Stories". Lots of
poster art has been posted on the film's Facebook page (go give it a
"like") and it looks creepy as shit! Teo's previous efforts have been
exercises in dark, moody, dread and this, featuring a story set in a mental
institution, looks to be ratcheting up the scares! I, personally, am pretty
fucking excited to see what this mad genius has cooked up for this outing. A great
cast and a talented director should translate into nasty, violent fun!
As always,

diatribes to: tom@nerdremix.com
