The “…Jennifer” films are a series of strange beasts. The first, To Jennifer, was released in 2012 and was the first film (despite the claims from elsewhere) to be shot completely on an iPhone, the iPhone 5 in this case. The sequel, 2Jennifer, was a meta take on the franchise that saw the films director, Hunter Johnson, play a crazed fan who wanted to make a sequel to his favourite film To Jennifer and ended up killing the cast and filmmakers of Bressacks’ film! The third film, From Jennifer, wasn’t released until 2017 and is more of an homage to the first two films, featuring an actress called Jennifer, whose quest for...

If you missed the film's late March release, then you would not be the only one - with more details on For Jennifer below. The official synopsis also mentions Jennifer (Fest) and the danger she is in. When she begins filming her feature, she also puts her friends at risk. To make the film truly realistic, Jennifer must contact others in the indie horror filmmaking scene and...

Stars: Tyler Gallant, Elissa Dowling, Sarah French, Felissa Rose, Tiffani Fest, Brandon Rhea, Kwame Head | Written by Mario von Czapiewski | Directed by Marcel Walz

Written by Mario von Czapiewski and with Marcel Walz (who remade Blood Feast back in 2016) as director, Rootwood is a horror flick about a couple of student podcasters named William and Jessica who are making a documentary about the myth of The Wooden Devil. Entering a forest by the name of… wait for it… Rootwood Forest, they, along with a recruit named Erin, go about investigating this creature and the truths about its existence. Think The Blair Witch Project with a modern twist, and you’ve got an idea of what the inspiration behind Rootwood is.

Now, as far as quality goes, this is a film of two halves, at least as far as I’m concerned. For a good 45 minutes or so I was getting...

"If we get this thing on tape, this could make us famous!" High Octane Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for a low budget horror thriller film titled Rootwood, one of the latest offerings from German indie horror filmmaker Marcel Walz. This premiered last year at a small genre festival, and will be available on VOD in April coming up. Two students who host "The Spooky Hour" podcast together are hired by a Hollywood film producer to shoot a horror documentary about the curse of The Wooden Devil. Soon they will discover it might not just be an "urban legend" after all. The horror film co-stars scream queens Elissa Dowling and Felissa Rose, along with Tyler Gallant, Sarah French, Tiffani Fest, and Brandon Rhea. Big time reveal shot at the end of this trailer, but I guess that's the only way they can sell it and convince people to watch this.

"No one makes it out alive!" Jb Films has released a trailer for an indie meta-horror horror film called For Jennifer, which originally premiered back in 2018 and is just now getting a VOD release. This is the latest in the Jennifer series created by Jody Barton and James Cullen Bressack. Jennifer, Stefanie, and Joey are making a movie. But soon the lines between what is a movie and what is real begin to disappear. And when making a horror movie, that can be a difference between life and death. Ooooooohhhhh so scary. The meta-horror aspect is because it's about a horror blogger who tries to make a horror movie who realizes there are other horror movies just like it and figures out she is also in a horror movie. Whew. The film stars Tiffani Fest, Felissa Rose, Dominique Swain, Lanett Tachel, Rich Finley, and Nick Kekeris. This is super duper,...

Dinner With The Dwyers is a horror comedy short plays like a pilot to an edgy sitcom that balances a bit of pitch-black humor with horror thrown into the mix.

Directed by Edward Payson and featuring an enthusiastic cast, among them Sleepaway Camp’s Felissa Rose, the short film gleefully toys with the conventions of both the sitcom and the horror film as it tells a quick tale about a daughter (played by Tiffani Fest) who brings home her new boyfriend (Jared Michael Degado) to meet her parents (Marv Blauvelt & Felissa Rose).

The short film is an odd delight, as it toys with sitcom and horror film conventions along the way. The laugh track, sound effects and comedy lets you know the film in no way takes itself seriously and invites you along to have a few laughs.

I appreciated its tone and sense...
