Long Live the New Flesh

Long Live the New Flesh is about navigating the Fangoria Faithful through the dark places on the internet where creative people in your neighbourhoods are sowing the seeds of the indie film revolution and making brilliant, provocative and bone-chilling media. Technology and creativity have come together at a perfect point in history to create a world where funding, production and distribution can all be put in the hands of the people. This is a record of the pioneers of this era – the brash young Bolsheviks who don’t need Hollywood to make their filmmaking dreams come true.

Long Live the New Flesh: Tape Heads, Romancing VHS with Vultra Video

It’s Friday night, 1988 and you are at the video store with your family. You browse the aisles and you can’t help but be drawn to the lurid images on the VHS box covers in the section your parents won’t let you rent from. As they wander the New Releases, you pretend to be going to the Family section but when the coast is clear, you cut into a dash to Horror. Blood. Skulls. Mutated toxic maniacs. Chainsaw-wielding psychopaths. Monsters and mayhem. You thrill to the covers and wonder what exactly is lurking in these strange films – films so shocking your parents would probably throw a fit if they saw you looking at them, which only makes the experience more thrilling. Since you can’t see the movies, you spend the whole car ride home making them up in your imagination.

Women in Horror 2013: The Ladies of Astron-6

by: Dave Pace on: 2013-02-15 20:34:47

FATHER’S DAY was a breakout indie hit of
2012 and finally put the Winnipeg filmmaking collective Astron-6 on the map
after a long time in the trenches of YouTube shorts and experiments in self-released
DVDs. A gruesome grindhouse chronicle of a maniac cannibal rapist who only
targets fathers, and the ragtag bunch on a mission to end his grim legacy, the
film manages to not just entertain but also drive a message about the politics
of the rape-revenge genre.
