Master of horror John Carpenter serves as narrator for the UK band Gunship’s ‘Tech Noir’ video. The video was directed by Lee Hardcastle, who’s short ‘T is for Toilet’ appeared in the anthology film ‘The ABCs of Death’. JoBlo brought the video to my attention. The claymation video is filled with horror icons such a Pinhead (Hellraiser), Letherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Jason Vorhees (Friday the 13th) and obviously Carpenter’s own Micheal Myers (Halloween). The characters in the video can shift between horror characters by switching the VHS tapes in their chests. Besides the cool content, the music is really good. In fact, it’s the coolest music video I have seen in a long time. Guship’s self-titled album can be found on the music site Bandcamp.com .

Writer director Ben Samuels (Kantemir, Watch Me Now) has teamed up with his brother Oliver to bring the first completely “First Person” film of the zombie genre. The film is a one-shot first person film. We see the entire film though the eyes of the main character. We have the first clip of ‘6:15’ and it brings to mind movies like ‘Day of the Dead’ (2004). It’s gritty, bloody and filled with non-stop action, like a zombie film should be. The fact that it is one-shot and filmed from the first person perspective makes it completely unique. ‘6:15’ stars ‘Camp Dread’ actress Montana Marks, Amy Rutledge (The Neighbor), Rosebud Baker (Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys), Matt Riker (Watch Me) and Canadian Much Music VJ Bradford How. Three Face/Off contestants created the gory makeup effects in ‘6:15’. In the movie we watch as a couple fights to survive a viral outbreak on an isolated Pennsylvania farm. Zombies are invading
