If a community theater group from a small town got the money to make a movie, I can only imagine it would turn out like this. Family Secrets is an embarrassingly earnest costume drama with sets and costumes that look like they came from the neighborhood goodwill store.
The story, what there is of it, is about a family who hire a young widow to work as governess for their out of control young son. The two form a close bond. The governess is then fired, with tragic consequences.
I made it through 48 minutes before I started fast forwarding. I would have just given up on it entirely, but I was curious about what the family secrets would turn out to be. The secrets aren't very surprising or scandalous - even for 1910.

I caught this film at a midnight show here in Seattle. I didn't know anything about the movie - but I love crappy post-apocalypse films from the 80's (Such as Deathsport - or Roller Blade Warriors) and I had heard that Steel of Fire Warriors was along the same lines.
I didn't expect much from this ultra-low budget homegrown movie, but I ended up falling in love with it. The dialogue is hilarious, the performances are just bad enough to be endearing, and you can tell that the movie is a real labor of love. Other than a few problems with the pacing toward the end of the film, Steel of Fire Warriors 2010 AD is lots of fun and a loving tribute to a nearly forgotten genre.

I recently saw 1200 AM at the H.P. Lovecraft film festival and was absolutely blown away by it. Although it is based on an original story (rather than being an adaptation of one of Lovecraft's works) it fit perfectly into the genre.
When embezzling businessman Jonah Henry (John Billingsley)begins driving cross country his greatest fear is that he will be captured by the police. A mysterious radio broadcast from an isolated radio station, a few wrong turns, and car trouble on a lonely country road are just the start of his troubles. Forced to take shelter in the nearly abandoned radio station Jonah comes into contact with a far greater horror than he could ever have imagined.
Although the story is fairly straightforward, this short film really packs a wallop. Suspenseful, gory, and with a nasty surprise at the end, 1200 AM is hands down the best horror film I've seen in quite awhile.
