Swiss director Olivier Beguin made quite the bloody splash last year with his debut feature Chimeres which played all of the major international genre festivals and even won awards at a few of them.
Yannick Rosset and Jasna Kohoutova star as Alexander and Livia respectively, two travelers on vacation in Romania. Alex is hit by a car and hospitalized where, as part of treatment, he is given a blood transfusion. All seems well until he returns home and begins to suffer from a strange disease that makes him sensitive to light, his teeth grow and gives Alex some creepy blood soaked hallucinations. It's not hard to figure out almost from the get go that he's turning into a vampire.

A western and a horror film rolled into one? Why has no one thought of this before? Oh wait, there was the Burrowers and Deadwalkers, but there has not been a western involving cannibals and "secret meat (Joblo)." Nevermore is on a roll, or more like an avalanche, as several quality horror films grace the North Carolina screens. Dead Bones is no exception according to one review and already the film has been called "a spaghetti western submerged in horror (Joblo)." This short film is not to be missed, so dust off your six-shooters and head down to the festival. Just stay away from the special meat!
The short synopsis for Dead Bones:
A bounty hunger looking for a couple of no good criminals finds himself in a dusty old western town searching for an easy reward. He finds more than he bargained for when the local butcher lets...
