Movie Review: Harbinger Down (2015)

Last night I popped a bag of popcorn and settled in to watch Alec Gillis’ new horror film ‘Harbinger Down’. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the special effects master did not disappoint. You should recognize Gillis’ name. He has done the special effects for many films including ‘Aliens’, ‘The Monster Squad’ (1987), ‘AVP’, ‘Ender’s Game’ and several films of the ‘Tremors’ franchise. ‘Gillis’ both wrote and directed ‘Harbinger Down’, which stars horror veteran Lance Henriksen (Aliens), Matt Winston (Star Trek: Enterprise), Camille Balsamo (Murder in the First), Giovonnie Samuels (Freedom Writers), Reid Collums (Whiplash), Winston James Francis (Little Boy), Milla Bjorn (Angel), Michael Estime (Beyond Merritt), Edwin H.

Collora has an impressive portfolio that includes movies like Total Recall and Men in Black, as well as being a writer and director. Collora made this statement on his Kickstarter page: “I hear people complaining about how the Hollywood machine is cranking out the same stuff OVER AND OVER, choosing economic safety over the creative art of filmmaking. I grew up on the original Alien and Predator films. I love them. But where are the NEW iconic creatures and characters? How long has it been since we’ve seen something truly unique and powerful in a genre film? Too long. If Hollywood won’t do it, I will.

Yamiken’s Short Film ‘Junk Head 1’ Is A Must See

Japanese filmmaker Takahide Hori aka Yamiken has spent the past four years making a stop-motion short film in his spare time. The 30 minute film was made with no outside funding or help. The film, titled ‘Junk Head 1’ is dark and absolutely incredible. If you’re wondering about the “1” in the title, Yamiken plans for it to be the first of a series. He hopes that ‘Junk Head 1’ will help him secure funding for the next film. ‘Junk Head 1’ follows an explorer in search of a sample of DNA belonging to a race of creatures created to do manual labor for a race of human like beings. The creatures live deep in the subterranean world. As the explorer descends things go very wrong. It blows my mind that one man created such a rich, well made, interesting film. ‘Junk Head 1’ has a distinctly unique feel. The film’s dark dingy hallways and nightmarish creatures make the film
