As champions of indie cinema, Dread Central is often privy to early details on upcoming projects, and today we have for you a first look at Kristian Day's Vessel in the form of a very preliminary plot breakdown and stills from the film along with two different posters.
Vessel stars actor, author, and public speaker Frank Meeink. He wrote the book Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead, and a major TV network just picked up a new reality show he'll be hosting. It also stars Vanessa Giselle, Jerika Rangel, Ryan Kolder, and Barron Christian. All the make-up was done by Patrick Boltinghouse of Vanity and Glamour.
Vessel was produced, directed, written, and photographed by Kristian Day and inspired by an idea from Marcus Koch (100 Tears, Fell). It was shot during 2010 in Des Moines, Iowa, and is currently in post production aiming for an October 2011 release.
According to Day, "The film is about drug abuse,...

Fell starring Jeff Dylan Graham Usually when it comes to the politics of a film finding distribution or getting into film fests, we here at Big Daddy Horror Reviews usually stay away from that as our main thing is on reporting on the latest horror news and offering up reviews of the latest horror films. However, when a quality film can't even get into a film fest and find distribution, that's like a double whammy for the film making it so that people won't be able to see the film and for word of mouth to start spreading on it. That's what is happening to Fell from Marcus Koch and starring Jeff Dylan Graham.
Fell deals with young man (Jeff Dylan Graham) who has apparently murdered a woman in his bathtub. He wakes up from a prescription drug induced sleep where the lines between reality and a nightmarish world are blurred.

Florida FX artist and filmmaker Marcus Koch, who just previously had given us the splatterific clown-slasher gorefest 100 Tears, takes on a totally different type of film with his latest feature Fell. Fell stars Jeff Dylan Graham as Bill, a young man with a variety of personal problems he tries to wash away with drugs and alcohol. Faced with memory loss after waking up to finding a dead woman’s body in his bathtub, he spends his hours alone eating, taking pills, drinking, and trying to regain his memory and figure out how to rectify his situation.

So that time of year is upon us where we over at Big Daddy Horror Reviews get under way with the first annual Big Daddies. We figure mainstream commercial cinema gets the Oscars and The Golden Globes, so I figured it only fitting that the horror genre gets its own set of awards thus was born the "Big Daddies". The aim of the Big Daddies is to honor outstanding achievement in the horror genre including films that virtually no one saw to the independents to the very popular. To kick start this round of the nominations (in no order) we are announcing the nominees in the categories of outstanding achievement in a Lead Performance Actor & Actress. And the nominees are.......
Actor:
Jeff Dylan Graham - Fell
William Forsythe - Dear Mr. Gacy
Kodi Smit-McPhee - Let Me In
Giles Alderson - The Possession of David O' Reily
Jesse Moss -...

Directed by: Marcus Koch
Written by: Katie Walters, Kristian Day, Jeff Dylan Graham
Cast: Jeff Dylan Graham, Katie Walters, Kristian Day
Every so often, a role comes along that is so juicy and dynamic that an actor truly gets to sink his teeth in to the hilt and give it a good shake; these roles allow the actor to show a range of emotion and progress his character throughout the length of the film in ways that most scripts simply fail at enabling.
Enter Fell, the newest feature-length offering from Marcus Koch. Best known for his special effects work in films like Walking Distance and Sweatshop, Koch also directed the cult favorite 100 Tears and Rot, showing a wide range of ability in his warped mind. Fell is very different than anything we've seen from Koch before, and for good reason; during the Q&A at Bloodbath Film Festival in Texas,...

Are you ready for another blood bath?
I hope so, because on November 13 and 14, at the Texas Theatre in Dallas, Texas, Doa Blood Bath Entertainment is presenting Blood Bath 2: The Film Festival - and this time, it's personal. I'm joking, of course. But seriously, this year's fest is the real deal. If you are a fan of independent horror, you'll want to be there if at all possible.
This is going to be a big event. The fest is staging the world premiere of two feature films: Kodie, the much-anticipated killer teddy bear flick, and The Super, a movie that will surely scare anyone that enjoys apartment living. There will also be the American premiere of Fell, from director Marcus Koch. Other features showing this weekend include the award winning flicks Walking Distance from Houston's Mel House, Exhibit A-7 from Adam Minarovich, and Dead Hooker in a Trunk, the...

Jeff Dylan Graham, the ultimate horror actor, the ultimate chameleon. You might not recognize his face and that's for good reason. You see Jeff changes up his appearance like Lindsey Lohan drinks alcohol. Jeff has appeared in his fair share of horror movies and more in likely you've seen something that he has appeared in and just didn't realize it. He has worked with special effects artists and part time director Marcus Koch several times throughout his career including a starring role in Fell. For part one of this interview we asked Jeff about his appearances in Fell, Bloodsucking Vampires, one of those countless Witchcraft films, October Moon and November Son. Here is what he had to say.
So who is Jeff Dylan Graham and what are you all about?
First off, I'm a Huge geek. Any of my friends will tell you the same. I like long walks on the beach,...

Not content with just being another pretty face, Jeff Dylan Graham pushed himself in a new direction by becoming a film director with Psychosomatika. This pet project of his has been in the works for numerous years now as Jeff has gone back and tweaked the film over and over again. However, this isn't to say that Jeff Dylan Graham has given up on acting. That can further from the truth. He has a starring role in Vito Trabucco's Bloody Bloody Bible Camp which co-stars Reggie Bannister, Ron Jeremy and of course Tim Sullivan as the Sister Mary Chopper! Here's what Jeff Dylan Graham had to say about these films.

You just did your own film, Psychosomatika. What made you want to reach beyond being just an actor and get into scripting and directing?...

Marcus Koch seems to be the go to guy for special effects these days in the indie horror world. Having racked up a number of credits in the past few years including Bloody Bloody Bible Camp starring Reggie Bannister (Phantasm), Tim Sullivan (host of the TV show Scream Queens and director of 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams), and adult film superstar Ron Jeremy. He has also worked on Herschell Gordon Lewis's The Uh-Oh Show, Andrew Allan's Brainjacked, Jay Woelfel's Live Evil and many other films. Marcus Koch has also stepped back into the director's chair with Fell starring Jeff Dylan Graham. Here's what Marcus Koch had to say about his career.
So who is Marcus Koch and what is he all about?
Not sure yet, but, I'm a Pieces. Sometimes I don hideous mohawks, listen to bad 80's music and collect cheesy tuxedo t-Shirts. I love horror films and I love weird art.

Meet Leah, a beautiful young woman who has suffered every type of abuse imaginable at the hands of her father. Her mother is confined to a wheelchair, so Leah spends much of her time caring for her and doing most of the household chores on her own. She works at a local inn and takes orders from her creepy boss all day long. To escape the banality of everyday life, she enjoys talking to her pet canary, sewing beautiful yellow dresses, and luring men back to her house so she can “play with them.” Over the years of constant abuse, Leah has come to believe that “all men think women are nothing,” and now she is out to settle the score.
There is nothing wildly original about Fell’s plot – media is so...
