(Click the title or picture for more info on the film)
Set on the canals amid the glorious British countryside, two sisters and their boyfriends head off for a relaxing weekend away on a barge, unaware of the flesh-eating fish mutants lurking in the water, ready and waiting to feed.
“This is a throwback to ’70s and ’80s hillbilly horror with a modern British twist, packed with ridiculous gore and the best mutant cannibals since The Descent.”- Horror DNA
“The Barge People is certainly going to be a genre crowd-pleaser as it ticks all the boxes: cool monsters, plenty of blood and gore, and a familiar story of man versus monster(s).”- Nerdy

Horny Christians versus a sex demon from Hell. What could go wrong?

“This gory teen comedy blends laughably outrageous carnage with a legitimately scary plot to delightful ends. Throw in a winking fetish for cinephile culture and audiences are sure to go wild for the gutsy film.” – Indiewire
“I would like to describe Porno as a disturbing yet, hilarious version of Scooby-Doo. It’s not for the easily offended or for the squeamish. – Film Threat

SPIDER BABY
(Click the title or picture for more info on the film)
Restored and remastered version with a tribute to Sid Haig before the film!
The credits dub this “the maddest story ever told”, a promise that’s well on the way to being fulfilled in the opening scene alone, when Virginia traps and kills a hapless deliveryman in her makeshift web. She’s one of three siblings who suffer from a unique genetic disorder that causes them to regress back to childhood, while retaining the physical strength and sexual maturity of adults. Lon Chaney Jr gave one of his most memorable late performances as Bruno, their guardian and protector, who has managed to cover up their crimes until two distant relatives lay claim to their house. When they insist on moving in, Bruno has to cross his fingers and hope that the ‘children’ behave towards their new guests…

TENNESSEE GOTHIC
(Click the title or picture for more info on the film)
**HORROR/ SEX / COMEDY SHOT ON 16MM KODAK MOTION PICTURE FILM*
TENNESSEE GOTHIC is a feature-length motion picture Written for the Screen & Directed by JEFF WEDDING. Adapted from the short story AMERICAN GOTHIC by horror master, Ray Russell (SARDONICUS, X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES, INCUBUS). TENNESSEE GOTHIC tells the story of Sylvia (JACKIE KELLY), a beautiful young girl seeking shelter after a brutal attack. Invited to stay on a farm with a dim-witted widower (VICTOR HOLLINGSWORTH) and his teenage son (WILLIAM RYAN WATSON), Sylvia soon demonstrates it’s much more than shelter she’s after.
Playing on themes displayed in folklore (notably the ballad LA BELLE DAME SANS MERCI by John Keats), TENNESSEE GOTHIC is at times uproariously funny while maintaining a dark tone throughout, including a healthy dose of debauchery and violence.
