Tales of the Unnatural: The Movie (2021)
Director Zach Keane is an undiscovered genius
Zach Keane outdoes himself with this outrageously fun low budget anthology horror film. All the stories flow together nicely with each being its own unique horror subgenre. The stories range from unnerving to hilarious and none of them have any slow or boring points. From a cat that sees demons, to a man who wants to be a famous serial killer, and a silent film shown entirely through a window, to a story of inheriting lycanthropy from relative. And if thats not enough, there's plenty more where that came from. Co-directed by the equally talented Joshua Randall, this film is sure to delight horror and cult cinema fans worldwide. Now it just needs a screening tour!
Flea Bitten (2016)
An instant classic. Wonderfully funny and charming.
With "Flea Bitten" director Zach Keane outdoes himself. This is a bonafide cult classic. It's rare to find a low budget comedy that actually delivers, but this movie had me laughing the whole way through. Very reminiscent of Troma films. Has a touch of John Landis' humor as well. Great stuff.
Beast by Night (2020)
A true passion project. Not bad considering the monetary circumstances.
Making movies is not easy, and it's especially difficult without a budget. Despite this, Zachary Keane manages to deliver a surprisingly entertaining film with good writing and special effects that are quite ingenious considering the 200$ budget. The 2 brothers are honestly great characters, and the whole story flows quite well. There are some genuinely moving moments (particularly the cave scene), and the dialogue feels real. Now, by no means is this a masterpiece, and for those who are negative, I must remind you that this film is not for the average horror fan. Even for a werewolf movie, it caters to different styles and elements that are more in tune with the anthro community, which I know for a fact director Keane is part of. On that note, I can't think of too many others in that community who have even attempted a feature film, outside of documentaries about the community itself. With a proper budget, more of a cast and crew, and a bit of tweaking, I could easily see a remake of this being extremely well done. Every filmmaker has to begin somewhere, and for what this story demands, this isn't a bad place to start.
