A few years before directing Dracula and Freaks, Tod Browning made a silent horror film titled London After Midnight. Starring Lon Chaney as “The Hypnotist,” the 65-minute film was distributed by MGM in December of 1927; though audiences saw it upon release, it’s likely that everyone who did is no longer with us. Sadly, the last known copy was destroyed in the infamous MGM vault fire of 1967, which tragically resulted in the loss of many classic films.

We may never lay eyes on Tod Browning’s London After Midnight, but those who’ve been salivating to experience it may be excited to hear that a full-cast audio drama is on the way.

Scripted Audio Drama producers Lance Roger Axt, Jack Bowman and Kenton Hall have meticulously adapted the original screenplay by Waldemar Young and Tod Browning as an immersive Dolby Atmos aural experience, with the recording taking place over two...

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”

After the misfire that was The Amityville Haunting, I was worried that the so-called unofficial sequels in “the franchise” would all be absolute dreck. Obviously we’re grading on a scale when it comes to low budget Dtv films, but there’s still plenty of room for ingenuity and surprises regardless of funding.

Thankfully The Amityville Asylum, a 2013 UK production, represents something of a rebound. Writer/director Andrew Jones had abandoned found footage in favour of a more traditional approach to tell the story of Lisa Templeton (Sophia Del Pizzo), a young woman who interviews for a job as a night cleaner at the relatively new psychiatric institute, High Hopes.

Obviously since this is an Amityville film, there’s a tangential connection...

Twelve-year-old twins lead a film crew through their lives, in a project directed and written by their real-life dad. There are some insights but the execution is excruciatingly amateurish

In Leicester, 12-year-old twin girls (Scarlet and Hero Hall) pressgang a passing film crew into making a movie about their lives. Although they are supposedly directing the show and can insert an edit by snapping their fingers, they still face typical adolescent problems such as bullying, embarrassing parents (the girls’ father is played by their real-life father Kenton Hall, who takes the writing and directing credits here), and unrequited love for cute boys who don’t notice them. How do you give a film like this a fair star rating? Some of the banter and the fourth-wall-breaking gags are reasonably funny, such as when the kids get “slow-motion sickness” after a Reservoir Dogs-style street saunter with their pals. But the execution is excruciatingly amateurish,...

Actor Kenton Hall makes his directorial debut with A Dozen Summers, a coming of age tale told with a difference – focusing on 12-year-old twins, Maisie and Daisie (Hall’s real life children, Scarlet and Hero). The film opens with a deliberately cliched narration by Colin Baker, following two young children as they head off on a
