DVD Review - AAAAAH!! INDIE HORROR HITS, Volume 1

One such film is "Old Friends" which is about a family trying to survive a plague.  More seems to happen during this 15 minute film than you'd see in a lot of longer movies, but it also has a gripping ending.

"The Ninth Entry" is also one of those "wow I can't believe how much happened in such a short time" types of films.  When you start to watch it, it's as if you already know that a lot that has gone on.  In fact it almost seems like a long Movie trailer as you watch it.  It's almost as if the film's producer was forced to cut out a bunch of really good stuff to make it show in the time alotted.

Of course this isn't the case - it's meant to be short, but it's another where you can see that if you add in some back story and fill the holes it could easily be feature length.

My favorite of the short films is "Oculus".  It's about a guy's obsession with a mirror and what he claims are it's extraordinary powers.  Some would say supernatural powers.  It is a well done movie with great acting and an original story. Plus the end will blow your mind.  You may never look at another mirror the same way again.

The best part of this DVD is the price - for under $20 US you get not one, but many awesome films.

I highly recommend this set for any indie film fan, especially if they are fans of indie horror.
