AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits (2008)

- written February 2009

Summary: A compilation of short films...           1) Skin – Death flies in to collect the soul of a murdered young woman, but first takes revenge on her killer. After replacing all of the incriminating evidence Death makes a very special phone call. Here the supernatural vengeance truly begins.           2) The Crypt Club – 3 girls are off to a local cemetery for an initiation rite that gets out of control.           3) The Veil - A young married woman is haunted by dark visions. Is it her medication, or something more sinister? Dreams and reality merge and lead to blood in this Lovecraft inspired period piece.           4) The 9th Entry - What do you do when you believe your house is making you sick? You leave. What do you do when whatever it is follows you? You fight it to the end.           5) Ghost Busted - A young woman living alone hires a professional ghost hunter to investigate her haunted house...           6) Old Friends - When an avian flu decimates Los Angeles a family struggles to survive while waiting for relief to come. Avoiding the contagion is tough enough. Then old friends come calling - and they're hungry.           7) Oculus - No one knows who created it. No one knows who possesses it. But Tim Russel knows what it can do. And he's going to prove it - at any cost.           Overall: Great compilation of some very interesting short films. The scariest for me is “Oculus.” It’s a predictable film but very scary, great atmosphere. “9th Entry” had some really good special effects. “Ghostbusted” was kinda amusing since when you realize what happened you sorta sit there and go “Duh.” “Old Friends” was good and some nice political commentary on that one. “Crypt Club” had some great scenery, great cinematography and was fairly creepy.
