Stars: Shian Denovan, Nansi Nsue, Annabelle Lanyon, Stuart Sessions, Anthony Ilott, Noah James, Jack Loy, Jimmy Vee | Written by James Owen, Tom Critch | Directed by James Owen
After a failed theft at a dog fighting ring, con artist couple Nina (Shian Denovan) and Yaz (Nansi Nsue) must escape a dangerous criminal pursuing them. The pair end up at the house of Beryl (Annabelle Lanyon), a seemingly kind old woman who has £3000 in cash stashed away. Circumstances turn out worse than the couple expects, as the pair must fight for their lives against Beryl’s family of hungry cannibals.
Centring his feature debut around con artists, co-writer/director James Owen depicts a couple with differing opinions of their future. Nina is hopeful that they can lead a normal life with a more traditional line of work, while Yaz believes such a life is unattainable and escapes her bleak reality through addiction.

If you’re going to get caught stealing money, there are better places to do it than at an underground dog fighting club full of gangsters, and there are better people to do it with than a junkie girlfriend with whom you already have a fractious relationship. This is something which Nina (Shian Denovan) figures out a little late in the day, and it’s the reason why she ends up shivering alone on a street corner where a group of men are threatening to rape her. Fortunately – or so it seems – she’s rescued by Beryl (Annabelle Lanyon), a kindly old lady who happens to be driving by. Clearly in need of a bit of company, Beryl takes her home, feeds her and gives her a bed for the night. But there’s something odd about the place and Nina doesn’t feel comfortable. When she goes back home to her girlfriend.

Those that complain that horror has grown too comfortable or stale or who proclaim that there’s nothing “different” to watch are clearly not paying attention to Wild Eye Releasing, a company that specializes in truly independent cult horror and exploitation cinema. Their films cannot be easily categorized and refuse to fit inside any prefabricated boxes, which I know can be off-putting for some people. They are often, for lack of a better word, “weird,” and their appeal lies in just how outside the norm they can be.
Cat Sick Blues, one of two titles new to DVD from Wild Eye, certainly fits the bill as independent outsider cinema. The Australian production finds a woman named Claire (Shian Denovan) who has achieved some degree of notoriety thanks to her internet famous cat. A mentally disturbed admirer breaks into her home, rapes her, and kills her cat, all of which is...

Stars: Austin Hayden, Shian Denovan | Written and Directed by Andy Stewart
It was two years ago when I first saw blogger-turned-filmmaker Any Stewart’s short Dysmorphia, his superb take on the body-horror genre pioneered by the likes of David Cronenberg. Since then we’ve had the likes of Éric Falardeau’s Thanatomorphose – a feature length look at the physical breakdown of the human body - and now comes Stewart’s Split.
I was a huge fan of Dysmorphia, so I was eager to see what Andy Stewart would bring to the screen for the second “act” of his three film body-horror trilogy. Even more so considering this was set to be more of a grotesque effects-filled story (perhaps Stewart’s homage to Cronenberg’s The Fly remake?)
Guess what? I wasn’t disappointed.
Now I can’t go further without first mentioning Thanatomorphose. That film totally blew me away – director...

Director: Ricky Wood. Writer: Rick Wood. Cast: Elizabeth Brown, Lisa Cameron, Lindsay Cromar, Shian Denovan, Samuel Feeney and David Hayman. Sawney: Flesh of Man was shot as an indie production in the United Kingdom. This film takes some of its mythology from a 15th Century legend, Sawney Bean. This cannibal, allegedly, stalked and killed over a thousand travellers in the Highlands of Scotland, with his ravenous family. Eventually, the family members were captured and executed. But, Rick Wood's script brings Sawney back from the dead, to haunt young lads and lasses. This film is excellently shot by Ricky Wood and the diverse characters add to the already moody scenery. The story is fairly straight forward. A detective is trying to catch a serial killer, who is chopping up local women. The bodies are only partially discovered (the rest has been eaten). Det. Munro (Gavin Mitchell) enlists the aid of a local journo',...

The legend of Sawney Bean has been the inspiration (at least partially) for a lot of horror movies over the years: The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, even the Wrong Turn franchise, but until now there has not been a film directly influenced by the legend. And there still isn’t. Based on the (in)famous legend of Sawney Bean, the patriarch of a cannibal family that killed over 1,000 people near the end of the 15th-century, Sawney: Flesh of Man instead updates the tale to modern-day Scotland and sees religious psychopath Sawney (Hayman) stalk Glasgow in a black cab, abducting unholy souls for his communion of sacrifices. With his insane family of inbred killers, Sawney tortures and eats their victims saving the...

The Scottish legend of Sawney Bean and his incestuous clan of cannibals is riddled with the type of horrors that no filmmakers could possibly conjure on their own. It's perfect fodder for a horror flick, and that's exactly what we have here! Get ready for your first look at Sawney: Flesh of Man!
Directed by Ricky Wood, the film stars Samuel Feeney, Gavin Mitchell, Elizabeth Brown, Shian Denovan, and David Hayman as Sawney. Check out the first one-sheet and trailer below.
