Indie Spotlight

We're back with the latest Indie Spotlight. This weekend's feature includes plenty of zombies, Area 51, a creepy clown, and The Walking Dead bowling.

Area 51 Confidential Trailer: A new trailer for the found footage film Area 51 Confidential has just been released.

"Presented under the guise of a "military training video for new hires at the facility known as Area 51", we follow the plight of a handful of individuals - a broadcast journalist, a documentarian, a teenage girl from Roswell, an army Colonel, and a man who had previously been thought "missing" for a number of years - as they awaken in the desert area surrounding Area 51.

With no knowledge of how they arrived there, they must sort out their differences and find a way out - before strange lurking creatures find them first.

The film was directed and written by Brandon Slagle (Argo, 2012: Ice Age), who stars alongside Adrian Quihis (1000 Ways to Die), Devanny Pinn (Nude Nuns With Big Guns), Wolfgang Meyer (Disciples, Cut), Angie Johnson (Fantasy Factory), Tawny Amber Young, and Matthew Landon."

The Midnight Hour: "A creepy clown appears from the shadows of a child's bedroom and slowly approaches the sleeping child's bed. Withdrawing a large and very sharp knife from her insanely cheerful costume, she awakens the tot and reveals that mommy and daddy have been permanently dispatched...and guess who's next?

Such is the opening sequence of "Scream! Scream, Little Sara!" the latest episode of the cult TV series "Lee Martin's The Midnight Hour." Airing throught the month of May, 2012, the episode is in fact a sequel to the series' season three finale last year, "Penny Pockets."

Actress Lisa Mueller reprises her role as the homicidal clown, happily dismembering corpses while hiding out in the home of her latest victim. An unexpected phone call from beyond the grave sets the story in motion and what follows is a delightfully offbeat ride for horror fans and coulrophobics everywhere."

Hack Job: "James and Mike are tired of art films taking away the credit that horror films deserve. So, they get a script from the devil to make the best horror film ever. The script has three stories in it. The first is about Nazis that awaken a mummy's curse. The second tale is about an alien that crashes a battle of the bands and then starts eating the contestants, and the last story is about a man who gets possessed to kill televangelists...you will never guess who possessed him. Find out this and more in Horror/Comedy HACK JOB!"
