Independent Horror Movies

The world of horror movies is renowned for numerous independent productions bringing the director's own style of splatter to the abundance of horror fans on the planet today. More often than not the freedom of independent movie making has allowed the horror director to express their vision as they truly intended and makes the overall horror movie experience a grittier and more in-your-face work of art, usually with buckets of blood and no fear of taboos.

Often low-budget and often poorly acted, the independent horror movie has a charm that is often missing from the more commercial horror extravaganzas, so to expose these hidden gems to those who will truly appreciate the art form, Horror Extreme has created the Independent Movie Section of the site where we will be reviewing independent horror from around the world.

Alyce

She way always a little weird... now she's truly insane.

The impact of Lewis Carroll's (less commonly known as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's) "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" on modern entertainment is undeniable. Writer and director Jay Lee dips into this literary phenomenon with Alyce (also known as Alyce Kills). The film deals with the mental degeneration of Alyce as she escapes her directionless life ...

Needle

Ten Suspects. Six Clues. One Killer...

Needle is an Australian slasher movie written and directed by John V. Soto (whose name you may recognise from Ozsploitation movies such as Crush... or maybe not). Soto takes a fairly original concept and some intriguing characters and slots them perfectly into the generic American slasher template. Despite the customary execution of the plot, Needl...

Adam Chaplin

Nothing can prepare you for this extreme fight.

From the outset it is apparent that Adam Chaplin is not going to be a run of the mill Italian independent horror movie. The blood flows in torrents within seconds of the film starting and doesn't really relent for the duration. The style seems very much influenced by the Japanese splatter genre of recent years, seemingly inspired by the works of Ma... Click to read more "Adam Chaplin"

Excision

Heal the Sickness

Hellbound Heart

It's still a relatively rare thing for a short film to be adapted up into a feature-length film: I saw the short film version of Excision a few years ago and liked it, though I wondered how well its nightmarish non-sequiturs would transmit to a longer format. The answer to that question is 'problematically, in places'. However, what the film does v... Click to read more "Excision"

The Los Angeles Ripper

In the city of dreams... a nightmare stalks

Posted on 18 August 2012 by

Pazuzu Iscariot

The second feature length film from Craig McIntyre is endearingly known as The Los Angeles Ripper. This movie presents a noticeable progression from his previous work, A Few Screws Loose, in a number of ways. It has still obviously been produced on a micro-budget but there are noticeable improvements which have addressed a number of flaws apparent ... Click to read more "The Los Angeles Ripper"

We thought it would be rude to not make our first independent horror feature about Troma Entertainment, the greatest independent production company on the planet and the reason that we have witnessed some of the most outrageous horror movies ever to be conceived. Troma is the lovechild of Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz and the company prides itself... Click to read more "Troma Horror"
