Mark Macready and the Archangel Murders
Mark Macready and the Archangel Murders is a British independent horror comedy from CM Films with the objective of flipping the whole UK horror short scene on it head… and that is what it will certainly do. Armed with a small crew of very memorable characters, some funky filming techniques, innovative and colorful lighting and a well tuned soundtrack it’s difficult to find something bad to say.
Mark Macready (also producer and writer Ryan McDermott) is the male Mancunian Buffy Summers of the force policing the demon infestation currently terrorizing the area. With less charm and more wit than the Hitman in Sin City and an eyebrow more talented than Roger Moore’s eyebrow when it was cast as the eyebrow of James Bond, Mark Macready AKA The Midnight Warrior is the most unfuckwithable butt-kicker of the supernatural North of Watford Gap.
On the trail of a shape shifting psycho-sexual incubus with a penchant of stealing the heart of women via the lady love tunnel, it gets personal for Mr Macready when his picturesque wife Christina (Charlotte Fellows) goes missing, with all fingers pointing to the Archangel as the kidnapper. The reckless and wild Macready and his crew, with the help of the demonic informant Friday, arm themselves and prepare to release some “Ya Bastards” on the supernatural underworld.
Impeded by higher authorities taking umbrage at his zealous irresponsibleness but determined to save his wife and the city, Macready is unwavering on his mission but will his natural demon awareness protect him from the shape-shiftyness of The Archangel?
The production and direction of The Archangel Murders is reminiscent of a number of recent Neo-noir comic book movie adaptations and manages to capture the atmosphere in a graceful manner and then manages to add a layer of parody over the top without damaging that vibe. The visuals throughout are more stunning than deep-throating a cattle-prod in a puddle, with some exquisite coloring reminiscent of Argento’s creative era and considering the low-budget a lot has been achieved effectwise within the financial constrictions.
Hopefully this movie short will lead on to more opportunities for the cast and crew as they deserve some serious airtime. Check out the official website or Mark Marcready and the Archangel Murders and check out the trailer below.

Satanic Panic
Good news for the lovely people at Marc Selz Productions, they’ve just got a world distribution deal for Satanic Panic. Here’s the press release:
Marc Selz Productions, LLC. has just signed a world distribution deal for Satanic Panic with Celebrity Video Distribution out of Los Angeles, CA. CVD is fresh new company that has people with years of experience under their belts and we look forward to working with them. The tentative release date for the DVD/Bluray of Satanic Panic is October 13, 2009. It took our company four years from beginning to end to finish Satanic with a lot of blood, sweat and tears from everyone who worked on the film and we’re thrilled to see it get distribution. A new trailer will be finished next week and we will send it your way as well.
Satanic Panic is inspired by true accounts and the craze that took place in the late 1970′s and early 80′s, follows in the footsteps of classic horror films from that generation. In 1980, ten year old twins Toby and Cindy Richards were abducted by a group of demented satanic cult members. Cindy managed to escape, but Toby was never found. Twenty-five years later, a group of six friends take a canoe trip to re-kindle their friendship, only to find themselves in trouble with crazy, small town locals and the same satanic cult that took Toby years ago. Can the friends make it out of the town of Thornwood alive and in one piece, or will they become victims of sacrifice.
Satanic Panic stars Cyn (Lockout) Dulay, Nikki Taylor Melton, Steve (The Telling) Christopher, The DVD/BlueRay will include 16:9 widescreen presentation, Dolby 5.1 surround sound mix of the film, Director’s commentary, some behind the scenes footage, creature rendering slide show, and trailer. We will have more specifics as the release date gets closer. This will be our third distribution deal for our third independent horror film. We’re really excited and hope that the fans will be looking forward to seeing our film.
We’re looking forward to it and will be posting a review as soon as we get our hands on a copy.
