Gates of Gore's Independent Horror Reviews

Kevin J. Lindenmuth is re-releasing some of his titles in a new collection entitled "The Brimstone Movie Collection". "Vampires and Other Stereotypes" is one of the coolest independent horror flicks that I have ever seen. I bought it on VHS back in the late 90's and I just cherish it. Now, it's finally being re-released on a brand spanking new DVD (I think it was released on DVD under the title "Hell's Belles" at one time). Gates of Gore can't recommend this movie enough, it's so much fun. You get vampires, demons, zombies and more all in one movie. Do yourself a favor, when this movie is released....BUY IT!!!!! Other titles coming soon from "The Brimstone Movie Collection" include.... "Addicted to Murder" "Addicted to Murder: Tainted Blood" "Walking Between the Raindrops: Revisited" http://www.lindenmuth.com/

DIRECTOR: Steve Sessions CAST: Jeff Dylan Graham, Lilith Stabs, Cynder Moon, Lucien Eisenach In Hobbs Bluff, Louisiana...four crimals have recently stolen the corpse of a dead child. They travel to an isolated cabin in the woods of an occult author. Their plan is to hold the corpse for ransom...but things go horribly wrong when they mess with an ancient sprirt board and something is conjured up that comes for them one by one. I have heard alot of great things about this film and I was lucky enough to find a limited edition VHS copy at a recent horror convention. There was only one other film by Steve Sessions that I have seen called CREMAINS and I quite enjoyed it, so I had to see what other films he has done. Damn...this guy can make some really cool horror films. I definately want to see more of his works. Hmmm...the acting was actually quite good, especially that of Lilith Stabs and Jeff Dylan Graham. They both had appeared in CREMAINS and were both awesome in that one as ...

Director: Ryan Cavalline Cast: Adam Berasi, Vic Badger, Bill Wittman, Shannon Johnson, Eddie Benevich, Peter Blessel All Jimmy wanted to do was to get out of the mob business, but it wasn't as easy as he thought. With his mob associates out to kill him, Jimmy takes off with a stash of stolen cash to a deserted cabin to hide out. However, Jimmy is not alone as he is met up by a demonic figure and a horde of zombies. Will Jimmy get out of this alive? Demon Slaughter is the first flick that I got to watch from Ryan Cavalline's 4th Floor Pictures and I have to say that I was quite impressed. I have been wanting to see Ryan's films for some time now and it was well worth all the waiting that I did. First of all, let me say that the only disappointment that I had with this film was the running time, at only 62 minutes. I got so involved with it, I wanted it to be longer then it was. The time flew by so fast. However, with all the action that was going on, you would ...

Hosted by James Karen (Return of the Living Dead), Drive-In Madness is a compilation of horror/exploitation trailers from the good old days of the drive-in theater. Not only are there trailers, but this compilation also features interviews from cult stars such as Linnea Quigley, Bobbie Breese, James Russo, George Romero and Tom Savini. I love films that are nothing but trailers because there might be some films that I've never seen before. I'm also one that never been to a drive-in theater in her whole life. Sure, my family did get to go, but that was all before I was even born, so I had to hear all about it from them. Some of the trailers that are featured in this film include Dracula vs. Frankenstein, Blazing Stewardesses, The Naughty Stewardesses, Horror of the Blood Monsters, Night of the Living Dead and so much more. Yeah, like I'd even compile a list of all the trailers on here! After watching this film with my sister, it made me wish 2 things...the first one is that ...

10. Splatter Beach ~ Camp Motion Pictures was steered in the right direction with this film as their first in-house production. Directed by the Polonia Bros. and starring Erin Brown and Erika Smith, I thought this film had a really great feel of those old 50's beach movies mixed in with the creature features. I've been a fan of the Polonia Bros. for quite a while now, so it's really awesome to see something new from them. 9. Basic Slaughter ~ Steve Rudzinski's first attempt at making a slasher film was quite impressive by my standards and this coming from someone who basically worships slasher films. Steve did an awesome job and I hope that maybe there will be a sequel coming...maybe in 2008. 8. Dead Clowns ~ Not actually made in 2007, but was officially released this year by Lions Gate, I thought it definitely deserved to be mentioned as one of Gates of Gore's fave in 2007. I mean, come on....you get some great scream queens like Brinke Stevens, Debbie Rochon and R...

A mysterious person, dressed from head to toe in all black and wielding a machete has come to the town of Rotary, Pennsylvania with one thing in mind....butcher as many people as this person comes in contact with. Why is this person killing? Will anybody survive? Will anyone care? Probably not because after all, it is just BASIC SLAUGHTER! Basic Slaughter is the latest film from writer/director Steve Rudzinski, who is known for his films....Legends and Wolfster. What's so different from these films? Basic Slaughter is not meant to be comedic in any shape or form. This is a pretty straight forward slasher film with some funny moments and a high body count. I was quite surprised with Steve's first effort at making a slasher film. Sure, a majority of the characters were annoying, but when they get butchered in various ways, you don't really care about them...you just want to cheer for the killer. I did think that it was really cool that A Nightmare on Elm Street was mentioned ...
