Actress Lora Burke has been on something of a roll when it comes to genre films – she was astonishing in 2017s Poor Agnes, amazing in 2018s Lifechanger and now she’s back with For the Sake of Vicious, a cross between a home invasion thriller and the John Carpenter classic Assault on Precinct 13.
Set on Halloween (when else?) For the Sake of Vicious opens with kindhearted nurse Romina (Lora Burke), after a long shift at the hospital, coming home and finding a hostage in her house! Chris (Nick Smyth) is demanding justice for a wrongdoing from his past, he’s angry, desperate, and has nothing left to lose. He’s owed a debt of blood and will not be...

Well well, it would seem that someone has been watching a little too much RoboCop (or maybe read too much Judge Dredd?) and decided that they had an idea for a sequel, expanding on the concept of the Ocp and the police state they wanted to bring in with the Ed-209 bots… only no-one would a) let them make a sequel; and b) no-one would give them a budget to make a film anywhere near as good either.
So what do we end up with? Defective. A film that loving lives up to its title.
In the near future, the corporation S.E.A., has implemented North America’s first and only police state. Uniformed, anonymous Preservers of Peace investigate, judge,...

Reese Eveneshen is the director behind the recent zombie horror opus, Dead Genesis starring Emily Alatalo, Lionel Boodlal, Colin Paradine, Erin Stuart. This enterprising young filmmaker showed that with his debut feature film, that he was a competent filmmaker ready to take on a challenging sub-genre. Dead Genesis was technically sound, respectablly executed and it looked far better then other similarly low budget zombie fare on the market. Dead Genesis took on subject matter such as zombies as a metaphor on the war on terror, sexual relations between the undead and the living and statements on the human condition. We had the chance to ask Reese Eveneshen a few questions about his film. Here's what Reese had to say.
Who is Reese Eveneshen and what are you all about?
I'm like most film makers, our background is based in our bedrooms and living rooms watching hours upon hours of movies...

Dead Genesis PosterDead Genesis is a zombie flavoured film, which has been flying under the radar for some time now. The film has had a premiere back in April and now the film has a new promotional poster, which shows some of the characters for the film. The film's one-sheet shows a war between the living and the dead, but how easy would fighting shamblers, or slow moving zombies really be?
In the trailer below for the film, the age-old, Romero inspired zombies are used, which could only really capture a seventy year old woman and not anyone who could move faster than 2-3 km an hour. This argument has been made before. However, using shamblers to take over the land of the living is, simply, unbelievable. Take inspiration from Danny Boyle in 28 Days Later, or even Romero's later zombies in the Land of Dead who have intelligence and attack en masse for realism.
