Founders Day

2023
6
Director: 
Erik Bloomquist

SYNOPSIS: 

Set in a small town obsessed with politics, the film follows a group of young people trying to survive as a mysterious killer takes out candidates and spreads chaos.

REVIEW: 

Blood, Masks, and… Democracy?!

If you thought politics was already scary enough, Founders Day takes electoral terror to a whole new level. This slasher with a patriotic twist blends elections, mystery, and a masked serial killer sporting a judge’s wig, ready to enforce his own laws… with a bloody gavel!

The tone is a mix between Scream and a presidential debate… except here, if you answer wrong, you don’t just lose votes—you lose your head!

The performances are surprisingly solid for an indie horror film, with believable young leads and an antagonist who knows how to leave a lasting impression. The atmosphere is tense, the blood flows freely, and the social commentary is sharp enough to make you wonder whether the real horror is the killer or actual elections.

If you love slashers with a touch of satire and well-executed twists, Founders Day is the perfect pick. And remember: in this film, every vote counts… but every mistake comes at a deadly price!

Iron Lung

2025

An Immersion into Claustrophobic Nightmare Iron Lung marks the cinematic directorial debut of Mark Fischbach (Markiplier), and it does so with a vision that bets everything on psychological tension and body horror. The film perfectly translates the essence of the original material: that suffocating feeling of being trapped in a metal box, surrounded by an ocean of blood on an alien moon. The strength of the film lies in its industrial and grimy aesthetic. Markiplier’s direction doesn't hunt for cheap jump scares; instead, it builds constant dread through sound design—where every creak of the hull sounds like the last—and... Read More

DoobaDooba

2025

"Dooba Dooba," distributed by Dark Sky Films, stands as one of the most peak-disturbing examples of modern found footage and analog horror. The film breaks away from traditional tropes to become a sensory experiment, where the narrative is not guided by classic direction but by the cold, grainy gaze of domestic security cameras. It is a work that dances on the thin line between clinical paranoia and supernatural terror, utilizing a color palette dominated by a suffocating neon red that transforms the house into a distorted, geometric trap. The film's true power lies in... Read More
