Short Film Review: The Leaves (2020)

A young couple moves into a house as suspended autumnal leaves hang in the air… and let me tell you cats n’ creeps, that is but one odd occurrence that’ll be plaguing these folks in the immediate future. Add to the mix a set of neighbors that definitely know there is some sort of shocking secrets within those wicked walls, a set of glowing eyes, a bizarre board game that reveals intimate details of the player’s lives… so yeah, odd to say the least… It’s that strangeness that runs throughout writer/director Matt Rasmussen’s The Leaves that makes this sinister short a wicked winner! Everything from the dialog, to the acting, to the narrative plays out like a fever dream. Hostilities rise and the possibility of other existences are explored while characters deliver lines that seem weighted with an arcane knowledge we as the viewer do not possess. All of the above gives the entire affair a style and flavor all

Watch The Trailer For The Drug-Fueled Indie Horror ‘Habitual’

We’ve got the new trailer for writer-director Johnny Hickey’s (Oxy Morons) new drug-fueled indie horror film, Habitual. In the film starring Chris ‘CT’ Tamburello (MTV’s The Challenge) and Thomas Walton (Room 9) after sniffing drugs and going to a rave being held at an abandoned asylum, a group of young adults is stalked by a relentless, malevolent presence, and their grasp on reality is torn limb from limb. A few years back, Boston-bred filmmaker Johnny Hickey brought the OxyContin epidemic to America’s attention with Oxy Morons. Based on his life, trials, and near-death experiences in the nascent throes of the opioid crisis, the film was a gut-wrenching wakeup call to anybody who at that point hadn’t come to understand the dangers of prescription painkillers. For his second feature film, Habitual, which is planned for release this coming fall, Hickey kept the theme in his macabre wheelhouse but also dove much deeper into horror territory in order to capture the nightmare
