The Download Horror now on Distrify: "The Download Horror is a comedy horror film produced in Edinburgh, Scotland by Robin Mitchell and Keith Bradley and Directed by Jim Hickey.
The film-within-a-film structure of THE DOWNLOAD HORROR could be likened to the cult US TV series Mystery Science Theatre 3000. But the film remains true to its Scottish origins and the attitude of the two main characters accurately reflects this with its colloquialisms swearing and schoolboy vulgarity."

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
