A View From A Forgotten GraveThis short horror / art / experimental film is admittedly not so much a "real" film as it is more of an exercise in b-roll and atmosphere. Give a bored filmmaker a forgotten cemetery, a little bit of snow, and and hour or two and this is what you get. Sure, it's a little bizarre, ridiculous, and out there, but it is what it is. The locations seen throughout the film comprise the ruins of the Eden Hall cemetery in Philadelphia, PA. The cemetery, established in the 1800s for nuns of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, was ultimately abandoned in the 1970s and its residents relocated....
Garden Of SoulsIn the tradition of such classics as NOSFERATU & HAXAN, and with a dash of early American film (Famous Players Film Company, D.W. Griffith, etc.) comes GARDEN OF SOULS. A horror photoplay in that harkens back to the old tinted silent films of yesteryear. Partly filmed on-location in Hollywood before Hollywood -- Fort Lee, NJ. Dedicated to film pioneers D.W. Griffith and Mary Pickford.
Help Me Have No Human WaysHELP ME HAVE NO HUMAN WAYS is a short experimental sci-fi film briefly visiting Ti and Do's Next Level teachings. With writing-consultation & soundtrack provided by ex-Heaven's Gate Cult member Sawyer, you can expect something thought-provoking and quite literally "out of this world." Narrated by Italian cinema veterans Franco Garofalo (Hell of the Living Dead, The Other Hell) and Daniela Giordano (Miss Italia 1966!!!)
La Fleur Du DiableA very short French / Italian horror-inspired art / experimental film in the style of Jean Rollin, Lucio Fulci, and even a little Jess Franco. Shot during the covid lockdown, this film features no live actors so the filmmaker had to get a little creative (there is only so much you can do with no actors.) With that said, the end result does provide some nice atmosphere.
La Ragazza Con Il Cappello RossoIn keeping with the “voices from the beyond the grave” motif seen in A View From a Forgotten Grave, La Fleur du Diable, etc. Sidd Web Productions brings a similar experimental horror art film sans actors — La Ragazza con il Cappello Rosso (The Girl in the Red Hat.) While this very short work was inspired by Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s painting The Two Sisters (On the Terrace,) the film is not so much narrative driven as much as it is an exercise in atmosphere. Features voiceover by Italian cinema veteran Silvia Collatina (Lucio Fulci’s House by the Cemetery, Sergio Martino’s The Great Alligator.) A secondary purpose of the film is to document the largely forgotten (and empty) Bickley Crypt in Bensalem, PA.
Phantoms Of The FogChris Milewski (A Taste of Phobia, POE IV: The Black Cat) returns with another Italian horror inspired short film — PHANTOMS OF THE FOG! This 11 minute affair consists of a heaping dose of, you guessed it, Italian horror, with a dash of those classic Vietnam War actions flicks churned out around the world during the mid to late 80s. Starring Filmiracle Productions regulars Karen Lynn and Terry Reilly, newcomer Ryan Fargo plays the part of a American soldier wandering around in the jungle for reasons unknown. This time around, Chris has recruited Luca Coscarella (known for his amazing cover tracks, most notably his BURIAL GROUND: NIGHT OF TERROR cover) to deliver a hypnotic musical score. Now, of course it’s not the 1980s anymore, so this film still does contain some of it’s own charm in the mix.
The City Of DunwichTHE CITY OF DUNWICH is a short horror film that pays homage to the films of Lucio Fulci and Joe D’Amato. Starring Ryan Capizzi (THE THOUSAND STEPS,) the film notably features an original score by maestro Carlo Maria Cordio (Fulci’s AENIGMA, D’Amato’s ABSURD, Fragasso’s TROLL 2, etc.) There is also minor participation from Wayne Camp (D’Amato’s DEEP BLOOD, WAR BABY, etc.) for an added touch of authenticity. One can expect a mysterious, twisting tale in Fulci-style about a marina owner and a steamboat explosion.
The Cold Eyes Of DeathTHE COLD EYES OF DEATH is a low-budget short horror film which takes influence from both the psychological Italian gialli of the 60s & 70s and the supernatural Italian horror of the 80s. With an experimental, DIY charm, this film puts most emphasis on atmosphere and visuals rather than today's typical gore and sleaze. Maestro Fabio Frizzi's soundtrack, whose highly acclaimed works include Fulci's ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND, and CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, is the driving force that connects avant-garde shots and chop-shop editing into something fans of the aforementioned genres can enjoy. BEWARE! THE COLD EYES OF DEATH ARE WATCHING!
The Ghosts Of Eden HallTHE GHOSTS OF EDEN HALL is a short horror film featuring Eric Bower in Filmiracle's usual Italian horror tradition. The short also documents some (but not all) of the remaining relics of the Convent of the Sacred Heart and Eden Hall in Torresdale, Philadelphia, PA (1847 - 1969.) Call it a horror historical documentary!
