Nyctophobia is less a conventional horror film than a slow, surreal dive into the subconscious—a cinematic anxiety spiral wrapped in dream logic and drenched in atmosphere. Written and directed by Seayoon Jeong, the film follows Liz, a young woman struggling with the titular fear of the dark. As insomnia eats away at her sanity, Liz slips into a dream world where childhood memories and nightmares blur, and nothing—especially not time or space—feels safe or linear.
Read MoreThe Days Ahead (2025)
In The Days Ahead, writer-director Terry Winnan delivers a gripping, thought-provoking indie anthology that imagines a nuclear strike on the United Kingdom and follows the lives of ordinary citizens as they scramble to survive the unimaginable. Composed of three interconnected short films, this low-budget British drama offers a sobering meditation on preparedness, panic, and the fragility of social order when the systems we take for granted vanish overnight. What makes The Days Ahead especially striking is its unflinching realism.
Read MoreThe Haunting of Prince Dom Pedro (2025)
What if your high school history class came back to literally haunt you? That’s the bizarre but oddly compelling premise behind The Haunting of Prince Dom Pedro, an indie supernatural comedy that gleefully mashes up haunted house tropes, teen slasher parody, historical satire, and musical numbers into one sprawling fever dream of a film. Directed by Don Swanson and written by Joe Fishel, this offbeat experiment is equal parts spoof and sincere homage to the kind of films most would call “so bad, they’re good.”
Read MoreThe Loneliest Boy on Earth (2024)
Cameron Smith’s The Loneliest Boy On Earth isn’t just a film—it’s a confession, a reckoning, and an open wound. The first episode of what will become an eight-part autobiographical documentary psychodrama series, this initial installment functions not only as a film, but as a mirror held uncomfortably close to the face of its creator—and, by extension, to us. Equal parts hyper-meta performance art, tragicomic therapy session, and millennial fever dream, The Loneliest Boy On Earth follows Smith as he interrogates his most painful vulnerability: love, or more precisely, the inability to sustain it.
Read MoreBullets, Blades, and Blood (2025)
Bullets, Blades and Blood, a Meyham Films/Anointed Media production, is directed by Warren Foster and Robert D. Parham and written by Parham and David Perez. This indie action throwback wears its grindhouse influences proudly, delivering an unapologetically pulpy revenge story that feels like something you’d stumble across flipping channels late at night in the ‘90s—and you’d end up watching the whole thing, just because of how wild it gets. The film stars Robert D. Parham as Marcus Blades, a former gun-for-hire whose life unravels after his wife is murdered by underworld figure Mr. Nelson.
Read MoreMMA Cop (2025)
Tamara Rothschild’s MMA Cop is the kind of movie that’s fully aware of its limitations and charges forward anyway—shirtless, sweaty, and full of absurd swagger. At a lean 90 minutes, this low-budget action thriller manages to deliver enough chaos and conviction to keep its head above water, even as it veers wildly between tones and genres. The plot is as trashy and pulpy as you'd expect: a rogue detective named Tyson Shabazz teams up with a journalist to uncover a child trafficking conspiracy, facing off against cartoonishly evil villains and their hired assassins.
Read More40 Acres (2024)
In a cinematic landscape oversaturated with post-apocalyptic thrillers, 40 Acres arrives like a bolt of lightning — fierce, grounded, and emotionally resonant. The debut feature from Canadian filmmaker R.T. Thorne is more than just an action survival story. It’s a bold and politically charged meditation on legacy, sovereignty, and the emotional toll of survival, anchored by a riveting performance from Danielle Deadwyler.
Read MoreShiver Me Timbers (2025)
There’s a fine line between campy fun and cinematic disaster, and Shiver Me Timbers, the feature debut from writer-director Paul Stephen Mann, cannonballs into the latter without much grace. Billed as a gory, comedic reimagining of Popeye with a horror twist, this film misses nearly every mark—hard. Set in 1986 California during the arrival of Halley’s Comet, the plot follows Olive Oyl, her brother Castor, and a group of forgettable friends on a camping trip that goes sideways when a meteor fragment lands in the pipe of a local fisherman.
