Writer-Director Donna McRae Talks ‘Lost Gully Road’

Indie filmmaker Donna McRae’s new indie film Lost Gully Road has just been released. I had the pleasure of talking with McRae about the film and other projects. The dark minimalistic film starring Adele Perovic as a woman waiting at a remote cabin for her sister, not knowing that she is not alone there in the forest. Horror Fuel: “Will you tell us about your journey becoming a filmmaker?” Donna McRae: “After drama school, I was an actress doing short films and advertisements, but I met up with a young director in film school and I was playing the leading role in his film and I started writing. When I left drama school, after about two years, all the roles that I wanted didn’t happen and so I just started writing screenplays to pass the time. I felt like I liked that better. I like creating story worlds and I was basically trying to write things for myself to be

Glenn Danzig Makes First Casting Announcement For New Vampire Movie

Glenn Danzig was on hand in Philidelphia during the screening of his highly-anticipated film Verotika. While there he made two huge announcements during the Q&A. The two reveals were that Final Destination and Idle Hands actor Devon Sawa is starring in Danzig’s vampire spaghetti western, Death Rider. The second tidbit is that the film is close to wrapping production. Can you say hell yeah? The rest of the cast is still being kept under wraps, though Danzig did tease that he may have a small part in the movie. He also told the audience that the entire cast will play vamps.

Movie Review: ‘The Lost Footage of Leah Sullivan’ Should Stay Lost

A young woman sets out to make a documentary for school about a hometown murder. As the mystery unravels, Leah Sullivan, with the help of a local cop, begins to believe that something even more sinister happed to the slain family. She must ask herself, just how a rash of missing people is connected. This movie is the perfect example of found footage gone wrong. Ninty-five percent of the footage is bouncing, swaying, and fast-moving, it actually left me nauseous. What’s worse is that the last few minutes are filmed in pitch black with a single small-beam flashlight lighting the way making it nearly impossible to see anything. In between the action, we see what would have been cut if she had edited her documentary. Those scenes came across forced, fake, and over the top. The cop character, played by Burt Grinstead, is a bit unbelievable. Not many cops would break law after law after law for a stranger. The
