The 2011 PollyGrind Film Festival recently wrapped up in Las Vegas, and the madman behind the scenes, Chad Clinton Freeman, checked in with Dread Central to share with us exclusively the winners of this year's fest.
Reveling in everything from arthouse to grindhouse to everything in between, PollyGrind has quickly made a name for itself as one of the up-and-coming premiere genre fests out there due to the success of each year of programming. This year's big winners (and flicks that will no doubt go on to find audiences soon) include the highly controversial The Bunny Game, The Super, Dear God No!, The Gruesome Death of Tommy Pistol and Ratline.
"I was very happy with the quantity of quality films and the diversity I was able to program this year," Freeman said. "Being able to world premiere films like Mondo Sexxxx: The Terry Kobrah Story and The Gruesome Death of Tommy Pistol,...

Chicago – There is enough of an international obsession with the crimes of the man known as Jack the Ripper that the word “Ripperologist” (someone who is an expert on the most notorious serial killer of all time) has meaning. Over a century after his crimes, we’re still fascinated by this embodiment of pure evil. The fascination runs so deep that it regularly invades our fiction, including Alan Moore’s brilliant “From Hell” and now the BBC America series “Whitechapel,” which opens with a three-part mini-series about a Ripper copycat and moves on to a three-part mini-series about crimes modeled after the notorious Krays. It’s a bit tonally inconsistent but this is entertaining television bolstered by strong performances throughout and the dark edge provided by the word Ripper.
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
“Whitechapel” is a clever attempt to merge the modern procedural with Victorian-era crime. It’s not that dissimilar to...

Certainly not for the faint of heart is The Super, a new underground horror film that looks like one depraved son of a b*tch! You can order the DVD directly from the official site.
George Rossi, who immigrated to the Us and served in the Vietnam war, is now a superintendent of a Queens apartment building. He finds himself quickly slipping into a depraved world which is fueled by the tenants of the building.

Featuring Demetri Kallas, Lynn Lowry,Manoush, Ron “Necro” Braunstein, Ruby Larocca, Raine Brown, Brandon Slagle, William McLaughlin
At some point in our lives, all of us are expected to brave the terror of falling out of the nest and trying to fly on our own.
For some of us, that means college; for others, immediate employment or attempting to get it. But regardless of future plans or goals, it usually involves scrounging together rent money and curb-diving for couches that don't smell like urine, and we wind up living in shady apartment buildings. Add to that the real estate market of New York City, where for a few thousand dollars a month you can live in a shoe box (parking space fees not included), and you've got the general feeling of despair and hopelessness that permeates The Super.
