First review for Plague Town is in!
Reviewed by MICHAEL GINGOLD
Even as it has become a cliché of the new horror wave for filmmakers to say that their projects aim for the spirit of ’70s chillers, movies that genuinely evoke that veneer are few and far between. There’s a certain vibe about the decade’s drive-in fare that’s hard to define and harder to capture, no matter how much gritty photography, explicit gore and cannibal-dinner-table setpieces one incorporates. One new production that gets it, and gets it right, is PLAGUE TOWN (coming soon from Dark Sky Films), the feature writing/directing debut of David Gregory [...]
HOUSE OF THE DEVIL FEATURED IN CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Posted 5/30/08
‘Satanic panic” is a term you don’t hear much anymore.
But director Ti West resurrects this 1980s fear of cults, once a staple of daytime talk shows such as “Geraldo,” in the horror film “The House of the Devil,” which recently wrapped production.
“The House of the Devil” also represents a resurrection of sorts for Maljack Productions Inc., better known as Orland Park’s MPI Media Group. [...]

Posted 6/23/08
Sadly, the legendary comedian George Carlin died on Sunday, June 22nd in Santa Monica California.

DARK SKY FILMS FEATURED IN THE NEW YORK SUN

Fewer American movies are inspired by the life of George Washington than by that of Ed Gein. The father of our country eludes its imagination, while the only famous son of Plainfield, Wis. has fathered a cinematic genre in which murder and cannibalism coexist with transvestitism and freaky arts and crafts. Within three years of his 1957 arrest, the graying, glassy-eyed little Ed was stretched into the tall, lanky, crush-worthy Norman Bates. In 1960, the year Italy produced “La Dolce Vita” and “L’Avventura,” America delivered [...]
