A man and a woman explore caves and find drawings dating from the time when humans coexisted with dinosaurs. Yes, I know, that's not true. We interpret the drawings and the spectator is treated to the spectacle. Ogg, the Alpha male from another era, wants to sacrifice Luna to appease the gods. Luna disagrees, nor does her new friend Meeka or a pseudo missing link whose name escapes me, if he has one.

Marc Polonia is not afraid of anything, not even the comparison with One Million BC starring Raquel Welch and the special effects of Ray Harryhausen. He helps himself by not taking the whole thing too seriously, obviously. The wild women are in modern sandals while the men walk around in slippers which were probably recently made in China. The drawings in a cave are done in colored pencil on crumpled brown paper. We will be treated to a big final pirouette which is not original. Polonia recycles yet another costume from its homages to the new Planet of the Apes films. We obviously recognize its regular actors, here Jamie Morgan, Marie De Lorezo and Jeff Kinkerdall, all regulars in its productions. Material to pass the time on online platforms for indulgent amateurs.

Eric Mathis' The Macabre is not for every audience member. From director / creator Eric Mathis and co-story creator Rolfe Kanefsky (POOL BOY NIGHTMARE, ART OF THE DEAD), THE MACABRE has a team that consists of two female producers (Esther Goodstein and Liz Mathis), an autistic producer who has overcome so many obstacles to achieve his dream (Drake Teer), and a combat Afghanistan vet creator and director (Eric Mathis). Loaded with horror megastars and with a legendary DOP involved (Howard Wexler), the film's launch trailer is introduced by Kevin Smith!

Eric Mathis has managed to create a project that is a modern day throwback but that is also timely and relevant in today's current events. This horror anthology is developed in such a way that it incorporates urban folklore like the terrifying "Mothman" and "The Salem Witch Trials"! Grime House Films makes horror fun again while also respecting the past but staying current with the future! This will be the "R Rated" horror anthology that fans have been screaming for and it will be relentless in its delivery as a new modern classic!
