In een overvol Pim Mulierstadion speelde het Nederlandse honkbalteam zondagmiddag zijn tweede wedstrijd. Deze keer tegen Chinese Taipei. De eerste slagbeurt was aan Nederland. Na drie man aan slag te hebben gehad stond Nederland met de honken één en twee bezet. Aan slag was toen de Nederlandse c...

Haarlemse Honkbalweek dag 1
De openingswedstrijd van de 27e Haarlemse Honkbalweek, USA tegen Japan was niet echt een spektakel te noemen. Beide teams kwamen in de eerste maar langzaam op gang. Er werden zo nu en dan ballen hoog en ver het veld ingeslagen maar die waren voor de outfielders geen probleem. Alleen Yoshida van...
We were excited to find out that one of our favorite films of 2013 Nailbiter’s director Patrick Rea had a short film playing at this years HorrorHound Weekend. The short is called Counter Parts and it’s a diabolical film filled with deceit and betrayal. The story revolves around two twin sisters who have never truly grasped the idea of sharing.
Counter Parts is utterly disturbing as you watch each sister look down upon the others situation. Their only intent is to better their lives and will do it at any cost. Great job by actress Somyia Finely who plays each part. The film is brought to us in the fine story telling detail that seems to be the calling card of Rea.
Clocking in around twelve minutes it allows Counter Parts to breathe and gives the sinister actions of the sisters a chance to really develop. That’s a difficult task with such little time but all involve pull it off nicely. While it does not stand out like some of the other shorts we saw at the festival it’s a solid entry at any screening it’s shown.
We heard from Patrick that he is looking to develop a sequel to Nailbiter and seeing his work in Counter Parts proves his quality of work continues to increase. If you get a chance to see Counter Parts in a festival near you add it to your list. This wickedly delightful tale should be pleasing to all!
4/5
Counter Parts is directed by Patrick Rea and stars Somyia Finley. It is showing at the upcoming Days Of The Dead Festival in Indianapolis on June 27-29th and Seattle Crypticon – Seattle, Washington, May 23-25th. For more information on Counter Parts visit their FB page.
HHW2014 – movie review ‘Counter Parts’ We were excited to find out that one of our favorite films of 2013 Nailbiter's director Patrick Rea had a short film playing at this years HorrorHound Weekend.
Autism, mental illness, mentally challenged, these are things that are looked upon positively in today’s society. Few times must we consider some of the dark and dreaded places that may exist in the psyche of these minds. A terror can be unleashed that may develop in the depths of a way of thought we may never understand. That my friends may produce a killer, and there so happens to be one of this nature in the jaw dropping short from Jerry Pyle, Service. The film follows a mother who has brought her child with her to the house she must clean. What she doesn’t know is there is killer in the house.
Upon watching the film you immediately see the quality of Pyle’s expertise. When covering a ton of horror films you can tell quite early when the director has an eye for horror. Angles, frames, and the use of space all work well in Service and sets up the focus of the short nicely.
Service has three amazing stars who really shine a light on the work of Pyle with their spectacular performances. James Babson is a scholar of the arts and its no wonder his imdb page is filled to the brim. He captures the role of the killer flawlessly and gives the audience sympathy even though he is a sadistic deviant. The mother is played by the yummy and talented Denna Thomsen who does a fantastic job showing off true scream queen talents that should propel her into the industry. After viewers see Service they will anxiously anticipate her as a lead in another horror. Not to be overshadowed is the portrayal of the daughter Annie by Rylie Martinez. Whose subtle and innocent nature soon provided a shock at the films climax. Look out for this future star in anything she wants to do as we are sure we will see more of her in the future.
All packaged together Service is a short that truly maximizes it worth and provides an entertaining piece of film making any horror fan would enjoy. Service is an home invasion with lungs of a slasher. That’s the foundation of any good invader film and Service is at the top of the list. HorrorHound Weekend provided a great amount of films to see this year and we are all thankful for Service!
5/5
**We would like to personally thank Jerry for giving us this film after the showing to review. Sorry to see Service not get the pub it should have due to a programming error at the fest.

HHW2014 - MOVIE REVIEW 'A WISH FOR THE DEAD'
HHW2014 – MOVIE REVIEW ‘A WISH FOR THE DEAD’
The blending of graphic novels, comics, and the horror world is common place these days. During Horrorhound Weekend one of the films we were interested in seeing was the comic to film adaptation of A Wish For The Dead. Created by, written by, and directed by Nathan Thomas Milliner this film brings a macabre and undead light to the notion of be careful what you wish for.

We all been there right? What’s the definition of a perfect relationship? There is none. Though we try to move on, we try to look pass those who have done us wrong but we can’t. The feeling is too real, the resentment, the anger, at times it can be overwhelming. At times we may feel the need to do something about this feeling. At times we feel as there is no choice but the obvious and that deed is the most devastating of them all.
Truly powerful and full of tension comes the film from director John Pata (Dead Weight) Pity. Set inside of a car on a stormy night we find our main character dealing with the stresses of lost. Stresses that drive him to the brink. Pata does a mesmerizing job with this tale. Even though it is only about 6 minutes Pity is impactful, edgy, and provocative. While we weren’t the biggest fans of his feature length film Dead Weight it is painfully clear that John is a master of the narrative. To be able to tell so much with so little is a tremendous feat and it makes Pity a thrill ride to witness. We saw some amazing films at HorrorHound Weekend but one that we spoke of during our journey home was Pity.
Few films can accomplish the fearless nature of Pity as we are watching one man’s raw emotions being displayed on screen. The overall look and feel of Pity is conclusive and grabs the attention from inception. While maybe not to the level of what the character is thinking of doing we have all been in this position at one time or another. Thanks to John Pata and Pity we are all now better for it. We can’t wait to see what’s next from Pata as he is clearing becoming a name to know in the horror industry!
4/5
Pity is directed by John Pata and stars Jake Martin. It is based off of the short story “Prowler In The Yard” by J.R. Hayes. It will be showing at the upcoming Sixx Tape Short Film Spectacular March 29th (SOLD OUT) and is the opening film in the short series of Hollywood HorrorFest on March 28th. For more information on Pity visit their official website: http://www.pityfilm.com and their Facebook page.
HHW2014 – movie review: ‘Pity’ We all been there right? What's the definition of a perfect relationship? There is none. Though we try to move on, we try to look pass those who have done us wrong but we can't.
We live in a world of voyeurism more than we can ever imagine. It is almost as fair to look at Skype in the same manner as snap chat and Instagram in regards to viewing the day to day of someone we know or desire to know. So it makes sense that the horror world would turn to this type of behavior as a narrative for their films. Call Girl is one such film and to this date gives one of the more accurate portrayals of the online lifestyle.
From Chatroulette to Omegle and Google Plus webcam interaction has become in a sense a necessity in today’s society. In Jill Sixx Gevargizian’s Call Girl she takes Eric Havens story of an online cam session to the extreme.
“Authentic” is the word that comes to mind when watching this great looking short. Anyone who has ever spent time interacting with loved ones or friends by this means will feel the realism Jill was able to display in the film. We were so drawn in to the feel of Call Girl that we were guessing which hosting site was being used for the conversation.
Tristan Risk looked divine and no one could deny the relentless nature of Laurence R. Harvey. This team of four has delivered a great looking short that cuts to the core and leaves us wanting more. There will be tons of great shorts shown throughout 2014 and one that many will speak of will be Call Girl. Find out how the short came to be and what else is going on in the mind of the director Jill Sixx in an exclusive interview right here on #HMUNCUT.

Out of the many treats of HorrorHound Weekend Call Girl ranks pretty high. After almost missing the screening (technically we did but thank god Jason Hignite showed it twice)we succeeded scratching off the list a “must see” at the event. Look for more on Call Girl soon!
4/5
Call Girl is scheduled to show next at the Screenland & Downright Creepy event “A Horrifying Night of Short Films” which will also have HorrorHound Weekend standouts ‘Pity’ ‘Service’ and ‘Counter Parts’. That is on Saturday March 29th at the Screenland Armour 408 Armour Road North KC MO.
Call Girl is also showing at the Days of The Dead Festival in Indianapolis June 27-29th.
