Morris County, the feature length anthology film directed by Matthew Garrett is not easy to categorize - and that is one of its strengths. It's a drama - but the stories venture into such dark, bitter, raw, and rattling territory, the film is custom built more for horror fans than fans of conventional dramas. At the same time, horror fans who gravitate toward a typical mainstream flavor of the genre may find Morris County a little too daring, somber, and unflinching for their tastes. What I admire most about the film is that it refuses to use the cookie cutter. Instead, writer/director Garrett let the film evolve into its own unique beast - and for that, at the very least, Morris County deserves your attention.

Matthew Garrett is a director who hit the ground running with his first short film Ellie (2006), an unsettling movie that gathered much praise when it made the film festival rounds. His second film, the suspenseful and enigmatic Beating Hearts (2010), won Best Short Film at the Boston Underground Film Festival before it found a home here at FEARnet (click here to watch it). Garrett's first feature film is an anthology called Morris County, slated for release later this year. Garrett kindly took some time to discuss with FEARnet his past, present, and future as a film director. FEARnet: What inspired the story of your first film, Ellie? Garrett: It's difficult to discuss the news story that inspired the film without giving away part of the ending, but I will say that the themes of self-destruction, sexual abuse, and the inherent hypocrisy of organized religion were definitely on my mind. What events...

A new feature from S&Man and The Burrowers’ J.T. Petty is always an exciting event, and we’re very much looking forward to his new take on the possession sub-genre, Hellbenders. Fango spoke to the film’s makeup FX artist, Brian Spears, who dropped some hints about what to expect from the flick.
“It’s about rogue priests who fight evil and do exorcisms—sort of like The Hangover meets The Exorcist,” Spears, who previously contributed FX to Petty’s on-line Burrowers prequel Blood Red Earth, tells us. “I guess you would call it a horror/comedy; when I read the script, it read straight, but it’s definitely funny and off-kilter. When the horror comes, it’ll be horrific, but there are also lighter moments.”
Variety reported this morning that Clancy Brown (from Burrowers), Clifton Collins Jr. and Dan Fogler are starring in the film, so that definitely...

Release Date: Aug. 7Director/Writer: Glenn McQuaidStarring: Dominic Monaghan, Ron Perlman, Larry FessendenCinematographer: Richard LopezStudio/Run Time: IFC, 85 mins.
I Sell the Dead arrives lovingly crafted for a small but loyal brand of moviegoers, the kind who best appreciate their comedy blackened to a crisp—with a few corpses thrown in for good measure. The charmingly no-budget feature debut of Glenn McQuaid, the movie follows a 19th-century grave robber (Lost’s Dominic Monaghan) as he awaits the guillotine and recounts his life story to a priest (played by Ron Perlman, in case there was any doubt what kind of movie this is). Mist-shrouded and whiskey-soaked tales of the dead and undead follow with cheerful gallows humor and estimable makeup effects by rising genre stars Pete Gerner and Brian Spears.

Continuing our report on the upcoming trilogy of horror co-productions between Larry Fessenden’s Glass Eye Pix and Mpi Media Group (see our chat with James Felix McKenney on Hypothermia here), we next turn our attention to Jim Mickle’s Stake Land. Fright fans have been waiting for Mickle’s next shocker ever since he broke out with his impressive debut movie Mulberry Street a couple of years back, and Stake Land, on which he once again teams with actor/co-writer Nick Damici, sounds like it’ll be a worthy follow-up.
“It’s an apocalyptic vampire Western,” Mickle tells Fango. “It’s told through the eyes of a young boy who is taken under the wing of Nick, who plays a brutal, solitary ghoul hunter in a world populated by grungy creatures—these are not the pretty True Blood vampires. It’s kind of a new Depression; politics have fallen and the economy has fallen.

Written, produced and directed by John Carchietta and Carl Morano, The Pick Up (which Morano first discussed with us here) serves as a bridge between the original Flesh and its feature sequel, which is currently in development with Wicked Lake’s Adam Rockoff scripting. The short features all-new girls, though actor Sergio Jones is back, and Brian Spears (second photo) and Pete Gerner (third photo) returned to create the impressive FX. Look for more on Flesh For The Beast 2 right here as it comes closer to fruition; The Pick Up has a website (just a homepage with poster art right now) here.
