Director: Gary King.
Writer: Bo Buckley.
There is something that happens to you after reviewing hundreds of horror films. One becomes desensitized to the violence, but an individual also becomes less tolerant of films that do not break any type of mold. Dismal is one of these films whose qualities put the flick firmly in the horror genre; yet, there is lots of repetition here. Tried and true lines are delivered in Dismal, such as "we'll be right back," and "why are you doing this?" (Dismal). Other tropes deliver the overused mantrap, a hooded killer, and a family of cannibals. Some of the elements have been used in countless horror films before e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jim Gillespie's Venom and Dismal does not break out of the box of horror cliches.

The first trailer for Gary King's What's Up Lovely suggested a nice looking film but little else and though that may be enough to get some attention, you need a whole lot more than that to succeed. Luckily, director Gary King has just release a shinny new trailer which suggests we can expect a great indie film. Good thing too because I've been eagerly awaiting this project since seeing New York Lately.
What's Up Lovely stars the beautiful Jenn Dees as Luci, a young woman who loses her job and finds herself unable to sleep. She begins an after-hours journey embarking on a series of strange encounters as she wanders the dark metropolis. During one unforgettable night, Luci comes face to face with her innermost fears and desires as she tries to find her way back home.
It's a very pretty looking trailer and if King's previous work is any indication,...
