Microcinema and Wraith of Crows: Stabbing Horror for Femmes (and I do mean the Ladies, this time, Folks!)

Published January 21, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan

All hail, amazing Tara Cardinal. Empress of the gritty jailhouse!

Whenever Big Gay Horror Fan sits down in front of a video camera and begins a monologue, it is pure vanity (or justification for still owing $6000 in loans for a degree in theater. Take your pick.). But the same actions by the prime character in Skip Shea’s smart horror short Microcinema, prove to be pure evil. Sporting a white mask and poetically reveling in a plan to cause harm to a young woman, this psycho is calmly rational, quivering with menace – and may, unknowingly, be in for quite a surprise.

Rightly hailed by many in the horror press as one of 2011’s most unique pieces, Microcinema is tightly directed, well acted and gleefully turns the predominance of misogynistic torture porn on its nipple hacked head.

'Ps-s-s-t! Watch this thing. You'll see a lot more of me than you think!" (Wink.)

You can watch this exciting bit of terror for a mere 99 cents at:

Meanwhile, Blood Sisters continue to do it for themselves! Or, at the very least, they gruesomely band together to help produce some metaphysically grim horror with Wraith of Crows. This haunted prison flick features three of low budget terror’s brightest lights, Tara Cardinal, Debbie Rochon and Tiffany Shepis, and is sure to give Roger Corman’s 1970’s Philippines’ epics a torn t-shirt run for their money.

So, this is where horror queens retire to. Nice!

To see if I am exaggerating or not, check out the trailer at:

Lastly, proving that the real horrors are the ones that occur in everyday life, the kind folks at Scares That Care are producing terror based products to help raise money for a variety of worthy causes. Check them out at:

And until the next time – Sweet love and pink Grue, Big Gay Horror Fan
