Part hucksterism. Part faux science. Part Unsolved Mysteries. All exploitation. This film is a sad commentary on many levels, but it’s also a fascinating peek into horror history that’s impossible to turn away from.
On Saturday, May 27th at 3:45 p.m., the black comedy CLAUDIA--- directed by Edward Westrop --- will have its world premiere at The Romford Film Festival.
Summer is nearly here, and it is now time to reflect back at how the horror genre has done so far, and look forward to some wonderfully stoopid action like the Meg2!

The Overlook Film Festival just concluded its 2023 event, and it really flexed its influence this year. By my count there were two ★★★★★ movies and at least five ★★★★ movies, meaning that we will see several of them back at the best of awards this year. There are several films here that will be influential for years to come, I am certain. Overlook has once again treated us to some of the best curated films in the genre, and from this festival I can assure our fans that there is much to look forward to coming soon to a theater near you. Listen to Eric and Liz discuss the best (and worst) of the event.
