Thought of the Day

A Quote From Eli Roth

We liked this quote and think it has relevance in many aspects of today's world -- not just the world of film.

"Failure, in my book, is someone who lives in the safety of their laptop
taking shots at those who actually achieved what they have been unable
to do."

MONDO CELLULOID REVIEW




Thanks so much to Logan Crow of the eclectically exotic website Mondocelluloid.com for this well written, thoughtfully considered review of Dark Reel. Logan caught up with us at the Paranoia Horror Film Festival screening last Sunday.

Here's a teaser but make sure to follow the link for the full length review.

DARK REEL

Josh Eisenstadt’s 2008 slasher-horror/ghost story/comedy Dark Reel is a film of many surprises. This tale of a haunted film shoot, in which scantily-clad actresses are picked off one by one by a masked killer (or is it a ghost?), is smarter than your average straight-to-DVD horror flick, and twice as much fun. It is also presents many surprising revelations, smashing a few preconceptions one may have had about films of the genre, and perhaps most interestingly, about some of the genre’s most popular players. To name but a few eye-openers…

Also check out this two-part interview he did with Rena Riffel while aboard the Queen Mary.

SUNDAY, MARCH 15 Red Carpet Screening Queen Mary


Tonight is the night when Dark Reel will screen at the PARANOIA HORROR FILM FEST aboard the haunted QUEEN MARY in Long Beach, CA.


We are expecting several of the films stars including Tony Todd, Lance Henriksen, Tiffany Shepis and Rena Riffel.

The show begins at 6:00 PM.

The first film is a short ("Eulogy"), followed by a trailer for our own RENA "Det. LaRue" RIFFEL'S 'TRASHERELLA" and then "DARK REEL."

After the screening there's an award ceremony and other gatherings. Should be a ghostly good time!
