Fangoria Reviews The Revenant.

We've gotten a great 4 skull review of The Revenant, courtesy of Chris Alexander at Fangoria Magazine!

Among the highlights, we got a great closing comment: "Please, God, let some savvy distributor pick this thing up and make sure it gets a theatrical run. It’s the toughest, scrappiest, most satisfying and amusing horror film I’ve seen all year, full stop."

Thanks to our friends at Fangoria, and we hope that we'll be able to deliver some good news on that in the near future.

Zombie Friends Unite!

Have you visited our profile over at Zombie Friends.Com?

It's our social networking profile that focuses on the horror genre, with emphasis on zombies, vampires and the undead in general. Considering that a revenant is a little bit of all that already, it's been a perfect match and a welcome home for us for over a year now.

With a 1,500+ (and growing) member base, we're always looking to meet new horror fans that would like a fresh take from our horror/comedy, so drop by and add us!

Our Facebook Page: "Like" Vs. "Become A Fan".

Just so that our Facebook fans know, Facebook has done this new thing where they have changed the wording to "Become A Fan" to "Like" when you want to join up with a movie related (or any other fan group).

While I'm guessing they wanted the wording to sound less... committed(?) when it comes to expressing interest in a page, it still does the exact same thing, and you will still join and become a member of our page.

We hope this clears up any confusion that our readers may have had in wanting to become a part of our Facebook page.
