Movie Review: Xenophobia (2019)

Holy hell, what do we have here cats n’ creeps? Why I do believe it’s an alien anthology of the terror kind! Following a coda, titled Pinnacles (written and directed by Stephen J. Escobar), that tells the story of Eric (Baker Chase Powell), a young dude getting his close encounter on in the middle of the desert; we are introduced to Xenophobia‘s wrap around (also written and directed by Escobar) featuring a support group for abductees relating their various diabolic dealings with sinister space-men through stories that include: First up we get Doomsday (written and directed by special effects genius Joe Castro); the tale of comely Becky (Kristen Renton) and her man Harry (Nick Principe of The FP and Chromeskull fame) who go camping in the woods and discover they are not alone in that freaky forest as one hell of a fucked up alien roams those worlds as well… seriously this thing has two faces, an emaciated body, screams

Director And Special Effects Master Joe Castro Talks About His Past And Present Projects In An Interview

Anyone who really knows me is aware that I love special effects, so of course, I was really excited when I found out that SFX master Joe Castro had agreed to speak with me. Joe is the man behind the effects in horror and sci-fi films like Blood Feast II, Bonehill Road, The Dawnseeker, and The Haunting of La Llorona. But he’s not only any a special effects master, he’s also the director that brought us the Terror Toons franchise, Xenophobia, and many more. Joe sat down with me to talk about how he fell in love with filmmaking and effects, as well as some of his projects, and his journey. Horror Fuel: “How did you come to realize that you wanted to work in special effects?” Joe: “Basically, when I was seven-years-old, I was being babysat by my father who worked on a ranch in Texas. My mother was away for the weekend. I had a real fondness for
