*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Monarch Home Entertainment. Director/writer: Travis Betz. Cast: Sarah Lassez and Dustin Fasching. This reviewer knows Indiana born Travis Betz from his earlier production Lo. This title featured a demon and a circle of protection. This title was a small film. Betz's latest, The Dead Inside, is also a small film. There are only two characters and all of the action takes place in one setting, much like Betz's earlier film. Thus, there are only a few places this film can go. The Dead Inside is a little too mundane in this tight space to be enjoyable and it is a little too long to be recommended for most film fans. The story seems simple enough. Fi (Sarah Lassez) and West (Dustin Fasching) are a couple living together in a smallish apartment. West is a photographer by day, while...

There are few zombie musicals that have been released. In fact, this film fan cannot think of a single one. Travis Betz's (Lo) latest feature blends music, horror and comedy. Centrally a tale of love and creativity, The Dead Inside follows Wes (Dustin Faschng) and Fi (Sarah Lassez) as they try to propel themselves out of a rut. The trailer for The Dead Inside, hosted below, shows Fi and Wes finding an undead solution. They sing songs of hilarity as the imaginary or real zombie apocalypse infuses them with new passion. The Dead Inside will release November 20th on DVD through Monarch Home Entertainment. Release Date: November 20th, 2012 (DVD). Director/writer: Travis Betz. Cast: Sarah Lassez and Dustin Fasching.

Founder of Shriekfest Denise Gossett was voted one of the top women in Horror for a reason. She puts together one of the biggest and longest running genre festivals out there. She's such a sweet and down to earth lady that it's hard to believe that she's responsible for bringing so much horror into the world. This year was no different.
2011's line-up of films was stellar. Some were more well received than others, but overall it was a pretty impressive batch of feature and short films alike as well as fascinating and enlightening Q&A's after some of the better films. Feature films like The Dead Inside, Absentia, Pig and short films like Certified and Negative Image simply wowed the audience and left people talking long after the screenings were over.
These weren't your run-of-the-mill studio films like some other genre festivals. These were genuinely groundbreaking,...

Bridesmaids - Review
If ever there was a movie that could make a statement against the maligned “Chick Flicks” moniker this could be the one. For all the awfulness that movies like Valentine’S Day or Leap Year or Going The Distance brought into the lives of women who wrongly assumed this was about as good as it’s going to get for them, a paid admission to this film will send a message that there needs to be more movies like this and they all need Kristen Wiig to oversee them. For if this Svengali can weave a tale that deftly splices the best parts of gross-out comedy, romance, female empowerment, yet wrap it up in a story that is at...
