(Watch) Short Horror Film ‘The Kiss’ Explores Post-Pandemic Anxiety In A Brutal Fashion

Pastel Wasteland, a Portsmouth, UK-based production company, focusing on horror genre features, short films, and content, has now released the new short horror film The Kiss and we’ve got it here for you to watch. Directed by Rob Ulitski, the film stars up-and-coming genre actors Bella Rich and Chris Mills, and “explores post-pandemic anxiety, through an experimental and grisly aesthetic. Shot on a micro-budget at the end of the most recent lockdown, the film was a labor of love and a step into the unknown for the cast and crew, whose output has been sporadic since the initiation of Covid safety procedures in 2020.” I’m so happy we were able to make this film, and channel some of our own anxieties, frustrations and fears into something creative. We are all super passionate about the horror genre, and the community of horror fans who help celebrate and lift each other up on a day to day basis”. Director / Producer Rob

Brutal Horror Comic ‘OBSO/LETE’ Coming This August

Two bartenders in a run-down future city realize their district is being infiltrated and assimilated by cybernetic horrors. That’s the premise of OBSO/LETE, the highly-anticipated new horror comic from G.A Alexander (writer), Justin M. Ryan (artist), and Daniela Barisone (artist). Their trio’s goal is to produce a comic that marries the neon-drenched world of cyberpunk with the grim tone and nightmare aesthetics of horror. We were inspired by movies like Hellraiser and Blade Runner, as well as comics like The Crow and 30 Days of Night that offer a gritty street-level view of the fantastic and often horrific events that take place in their stories.” Alexander states. “1995: A Hacker Attack takes out half of the US Government’s infrastructure. In 1996, The US Cybersecurity Act outlaws and severely restrict access to any networked or mobile technologies for the entire country. 2046: NOW… The City, a sprawling metropolis consisting of almost twenty separate districts, is under immense pressure.

Filmmakers Set Out To Locate A Killer In The New Clips From ‘Faking A Murderer’

This August two filmmakers set out to find a killer in an attempt to make a hit true-crime film in Faking a Murder, directed by Stuart Stone (The Haunted House of Kirby Road, Scarecrows). Faking a Murderer follows two filmmakers on their noble yet perhaps misguided quest to track down a seedy-looking stranger they’ve discovered online who — in a disturbing video — seemingly confesses to a murder. Or at least that’s what they think. Seeing the popularity of true crime shows, they decide to try and turn this discovery into their own killer hit. With the support (both moral and financial) of a distributor, Stuart Stone and Adam Rodness set off on their journey to try and track down this elusive creep. When they bring the video to law enforcement, they’re told — repeatedly — that it’s really not much to go on, and they’re putting a lot of time and energy into what essentially is a fool’s errand.

Set in August 2007, we see “a man isolated in his austere penthouse overlooking Central Park, obsessive Wall Street data analyst Richard Boca (Beau Knapp) sees ominous patterns: His computer models are behaving erratically, as are the swarms of mosquitos breeding in his apartment, an infestation that attends his psychological meltdown.

Consumed with his work, Richard doesn’t often stray from his office or apartment. But when Richard decides to go to a company party, he makes two acquaintances: the mysterious, sylphlike Lena (Charlotte Vega) and one pesky mosquito, both of which take root in his mind, altering his existence in profound ways.” “Finding common ground between Franz Kafka, David Cronenberg, and Mary Harron’s American Psycho,
