On the eve of Horror Channel’s UK TV premiere of Patchwork, director Tyler MacIntyre reflects on body image issues. twisting audience expections and his admiration for current female genre directors.
Patchwork finally gets its UK TV premiere on Horror Channel. Excited or what?
Relieved actually. It’s been a long time coming. The third screening of the film ever happened at FrightFest in Glasgow and since then I’ve had people asking me when it was going to come out. The UK genre fans are among the most diehard in the world, so I’m very excited to finally have it available for them.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by the distributor, The Orchard. **there are a couple of minor spoilers here. Director: Tyler MacIntyre. Writers: Chris Lee Hill and Tyler MacIntyre. Cast: Tory Stolper, Tracey Fairaway, Maria Blasucci, James Phelps and Corey Sorenson. Patchwork has been completed since at least 2015. From director Tyler MacIntyre and writer Chris Lee Hill, the film has recently released through Video-on-demand, via The Orchard. A festival favourite, Patchwork involves a three-in-one deal, in which three women are sewn into one. The results should be horrifying, but they are more laugh worthy. Some of the awkward kissing scenes are laugh out loud funny. Meanwhile, a sub-villain and villain are pushing the action forward. One of the evil wretch's identity is only revealed near the end of the film. Also, the writers take the topic of cosmetic surgery to the point of hyperbole. What would...

Back in 2016, Tyler MacIntyre's Patchwork was showing in Calgary, at the Calgary Underground Film Festival. Since 2016, the film has released through Video-on-demand, today! Patchwork is a dark comedy, in which three women find themselves sewn together. The film stars: Tory Stolper, Tracey Fairaway, Maria Blasucci and James Phelps. Also, the official release artwork and most recent trailer, for Patchwork, are hosted here. For more on the story, three women wake-up after a night out. They have the ultimate hangover. But, things are much worse than they initially realize. Each woman has been sewn to the other, by a mysterious character. Now, they must work together, to escape this lair, while finding a way to seek revenge. The latest promotional material shows the film's scars. The movie poster shows one woman's body, with different patches of skin. Meanwhile, the title bloodies the back, while some of the flesh looks necrotic.

The Canadian horror comedy Patchwork is set for its Calgary Premiere. This film, influenced by Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, tears three women apart and puts them back together again. A teaser for the film (hosted below) was released for this feature earlier in the year. The clip's music is soothing, while the images are not. From director Tyler MacIntyre, the film stars: Tory Stolper, Tracey Fairaway, Maria Blasucci and James Phelps. Playing at several upcoming showings, a preview of Patchwork's Calgary release is hosted here. The film calls itself a "throw-back" horror-comedy. Likely influenced by the low-brow comedies of the '80s, three women find themselves sewn to each other, after a wild night of partying. Now, they must work together, in one body, or lose what little remains of themselves. The Calgarian event takes place on April 16th, 2016. Director Tyler MacIntyre will be in attendance and Calgarians should head out to the theatre,...

Over the past year I reviewed a lot of indie horror films, some of them really good, some of them just Ok, and some of them really, really bad. The following isn't exactly a best of the year list, because I haven't watched every single film that was released, played at a film festival, or completed filming this year. Rather, these are the best movies that I reviewed for MoreHorror.com in 2015, and are all movies that I can recommend without hesitation.
Mania is directed by Jessica Cameron and stars Ellie Church. Olalla is written and directed by Amy Hesketh and stars Amy Hesketh, Jac Avila, Mila Joya, and Erix Antoine. Headless is directed by Arthur Cullipher, written by Nathan Erdel, and stars Shane Beasley, Kelsey Carlisle, Dave parker and Ellie Church. Spring is directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead and written by Justin Benson,...

A Tricky Treat is directed by Patricia Chica and written by Kamal John Iskander. Die! Sitter! Die! : Rupert is written and directed by Lee Boxleitner and Sam Boxleitner. Harmful Sensations is written and directed by Jenson Rule Tierra. Meridians is directed by Blake Rice and written by Mark E. Davidson. Yummy Meat: A Halloween Carol is directed by John Fitzpatrick and written by Sean J. Decker.
I have already covered two great short films that played at Screamfest 2015, Night of the Slasher and Mirrored. Those two shorts got separate articles because they were paired with feature films with which they shared common themes, and it made sense to review them together with the features that they preceded. There were a number of outstanding shorts however that played in short blocks, or were paired with features that they didn't seem to share much in common with,...

Patchwork
Written by Tyler MacIntyre & Chris Lee Hill
Directed by Tyler MacIntyre
Canada/USA, 2015
Director Tyler MacIntyre’s film, Patchwork, is horror/comedy that puts a modern spin on the mythology established in Mary Shelley’s classic story, Frankenstein. At its core, Patchwork is an examination of life death in the modern age, mixed with violence, gore, and a cheeky tone sure to delight fans of classic 80’s scream-fests.
In Patchwork, Jennifer (Tory Stolper) is a young professional woman living in Los Angeles, and the embodiment of the fast-paced L.A. lifestyle: she hangs out in bottle service booths inside trendy nightspots, wears pantsuits, and dates a douchey guy that wears a Bluetooth headset while at a club (and he also cheats on his wife). When Jennifer’s frenemies don’t show up to join her birthday jam, she goes home alone, hoping to “Netflix and chill” with her philandering...

Patchwork is directed by Tyler MacIntyre. The film stars Tory Stolper, Tracey Fairaway, Maria Blasucci, with Corey Sorenson and James Phelps.
Mirrored is directed by Ryan Shovey and written and produced by Nicole Bird. The film stars Aaron Jay Rome, David Colan, and Bryan Mordechai Jackson
There are a lot of people within the horror community right now who grew up watching absolutely gonzo insane horror films like Re-animator, Evil Dead 2, and Frankenhooker, which actually came out in 1990 but whatever. These are wild, anarchic films that at the time formed a subversive little bubble trapped within the soup of 1980's normality. Now, decades later, as we find ourselves in a culture that has become homogenized in a way that we haven't seen since the 1980's, there is a lot of nostalgia for these kinds of films.
This nostalgia has led to a wave of 1980's throwback films,...
