It’s a Larry Blamire film, and it’s composed of entirely New and Unique elements: a lonely mansion, strange servants, the reading of the will, weird heirs, death threats, snoopy reporters, a midnight seance, mysterious locked rooms, the clutching hands of a phantom menace, and the ultimate terror, Kogar the mighty ape. All new, right? This ‘nothing you’ve ever seen before’ is performed by Blamire’s nimble acting clan, all competing to immortalize some of the silliest dialogue ever written. Two versions of the screwball-nostalgic farce are present on this special edition disc, along with the usual disturbingly offbeat selection of Blamire extras.

Director: Anthony J. Rickert-Epstein. Writers: Renae Geerlings and Tyler Mane. Cast: Tyler Mane, Muse Watson, Derek Mears, Leslie Easterbrook, Renae Geerlings and Alex Saxon. Most horror fans know actor Tyler Mane for his work as Michael Myers in the Halloween remakes. However, this film fan remembers him as the titular character Ajax, from Troy (2004). Mane is still acting and he is also producing and writing features, for his production company Mane Entertainment. The first feature from Mane Entertainment is Compound Fracture. Compound Fracture is an indie horror feature, which stars a few horror icons, including: Muse Watson (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Derek Mears (Predators) and Leslie Easterbrook. Well told, this story of Norse mythology offers a few thrills or chills, but this title also lacks any real suspense and mystery. The story begins with Michael (Mane), his wife and nephew. Together, they are heading to see Michael's father,...

Indie Spotlight Review: Nobody Can Cool
by Heather Wixson
Nobody Can Cool is the rather impressive directorial debut from up-and-coming filmmaking duo Dpyx, Marcy Boyle and Rachel Holzman, who crafted a blisteringly taut and thoughtful indie crime thriller with a palpable sense of tension from start to finish. A gritty and engaging tale of deceit, violence and desperation, Nobody Can Cool is anchored by a breakout performance by Nick Principe (best known from his work in the Laid to Rest series, Madison County and...

Fango hit the La premiere this past Sunday night of writer/director Larry Blamire’s The Lost Skeleton Returns Again (see photos below), the follow-up to his 2001 cult hit The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra, and chatted him up post-q&A.
Playing to a packed house at Hollywood Boulevard’s Egyptian theater, the film elicited an overwhelming audience response (Blamire’s devotees are quite rabid: this scribe’s parents made a trek all the way from Northern California), and the filmmaker was thrilled by the enthusiastic reception.
“What a terrific turnout,” Blamire tells Fango. “Man, we have the greatest fans. The support is phenomenal, and the audience expectation was palpable and infectious as the characters from the first film made their appearances [in the sequel], including the dead ones.” He’s referring to the roles played by Brian Howe and Dan Conroy, who met untimely ends in the original, with the actors here portraying their identical twins.
