Starring: Matthew Ninaber, Nita-Josee Hanna, and Owen Myre Directed and written by: Steven Kostanski   “Psycho Goreman” doesn’t sound like someone you want to hangout with unless your name is Mimi! Before finding himself on Earth, Psycho Goreman, or PG (Matthew Ninaber) was nothing but a prisoner to his planet. Then one day he luckily found an amulet that gave him power to kill everyone who was holding him down, and many many more. No, his story isn’t about becoming a hero and freeing everyone, but more about becoming a killing machine.   The leaders of several planets led by Pandora (Kristen MacCulloch) came together to banish PG, and save themselves for the time being.

MY DEAD ONES REVIEW

  Behind the looks of a shy film student, David hides an obscure past that is about to be revealed. Starring: Nicolas Prattes, Neusa Maria Faro, and Andre Hendges Directed by: Diego Freitas Written by: Diego Fretias and Gustavo Rosseb   “My Dead Ones” seems like a curious name for a film, but makes a lot more sense once this one ends. David (Nicolas Prattes) might seem a little odd at first, but that’s just because he’s a little shy. He has some friends, but he’s more interested in his films. It appears he likes to be filming from the shadows, and capturing his subjects in their natural environment. At least that what happens at first.   With his awkwardness, he will draw the audience on his side early. They will feel sorry for him when they see him get picked on at school, and have his camera damaged on purpose. However, as the audience gets to spend more time with David, they’re going to realize there is nothing to feel sorry for. Some think the quiet ones some...
