Wal-Mart Renames Deathgasm

When did stores get the power to change the names of horror films to better suit their opinion of what consumers will find okay? Wal-Mart has done it again. The last film they renamed was A Christmas Horror Story, which they changed to A Holiday Horror Story. Now, Deathgasm has fallen to the big-chain store. The movie will now be known as Heavy Metal Apocalypse, censorship at it’s finest (insert eye-roll) . Yes, you read that right. What is so offensive about the title “Deathgasm“? Nothing, in my opinion. I have to wonder, will they will start re-writing books next? Where does it end? No matter if you’re a metal-head or just a regular horror fan, Deathgasm will rock you. This is a fast paced, brutal, but hilarious horror flick is one you don’t want to miss. The film, written and directed by Jason Lei Howden, stars Milo Cawthorne, James Blake, Kimberly Crossman, Sam Berkley and Daniel Cresswell. In Deathgasm,

You’ll Know His Name

You’ll Know My Name Drama 2010 Not Rated Directed, Written & Produced by Joe Raffa Starring: Joe Raffa, David J. Bonner, Alexander Mandell, Mianna Saxton, Chuck Connors, Tommy Sztubinksi, Brian Gallagher, Davy Raphaley, Nicole Cinaglia Website: YKMN Cynema is not about reviews. While a critical look is often afforded to specific films, this is not about whether a film is “good” or “bad.” It’s about how they are MADE. My previous entries looked at wide ranges from Jurassic World to Halloween III.This is a look at a young filmmaker who has taken risks and made a film that is outside the realm of what is popular or what studios are developing. Joe Raffa is anti-Cynema because he does what few others are doing: he takes real risks. Thanks to the digital revolution, anyone with a camcorder and computer thinks they’re a filmmaker. Shooting your video and putting it up in ten minute bites online does not make you a professional.
