Group of students out in the swamp studying wild life for extra credit run amok of a family of cannibalistic killers.
Let's be honest. This premise has been done to death a million times! Dismal serves as a reminder of the some of the earlier films that came out before it. Dismal lacks the realism and the grittiness of Just Before Dawn. Dismal lacks the terrifying set pieces of The Hills Have Eyes. And it's nowhere near as exciting or as thrilling as the more recent Wrong Turn. That's not to say that Dismal is a bad movie. It isn't. It's competently made. It competently acted. Dismal has some moderately suspenseful scenes. And Dismal has a few cringe worthy moments of gore and blood letting. The problem is, it's just...

*Full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Gary King.
**Some spoilers be here.
Director: Gary King.
Writer: Bo Buckley.
There is something that happens to you after reviewing hundreds of horror films. One becomes desensitized to the violence, but an individual also becomes less tolerant of films that do not break any type of mold. Dismal is one of these films whose qualities put the flick firmly in the horror genre; yet, there is lots of repetition here. Tried and true lines are delivered in Dismal, such as "we'll be right back," and "why are you doing this?" (Dismal). Other tropes deliver the overused mantrap, a hooded killer, and a family of cannibals. Some of the elements have been used in countless horror films before e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jim Gillespie's Venom and Dismal does not break out of the box of horror cliches.

I’d be lying if I told you I’ve never experienced a period of academic overextension at some point or another. In this regard, the predicament Dana (Lydia Chandler) faces in Dismal (on DVD from Cinema Epoch) provided a kind of instant sympathy. The class in which she’s stuck, and that she can’t stand or care to invest in, is Biology, and the option of extra credit becomes something of a desperate necessity. The movie, then, could be a forewarning about the perils of procrastination, with some pertinent circumstances. But for now, I’ll turn off my imagination (as the movie commands us) and get to telling what actually happens.

A Mad River Film Dismal will see some theatres at the American Film Market beginning Wednesday, November 4th. A horror tale that takes place in the bowels of a deep, dark swamp Dismal may be too much to handle for some fans (cannibalism). Dismal will star Bill Oberst Jr., and newcomer Lydia Chandler in this horror adventure, that might leave many of the cast members dead or dying. Gary King is the director of Dismal and Bo Buckley the writer of this visually graphic movie, that appears to be from the depths of one's darker nightmares. Have a look at the full cast and synopsis below.
A synopsis for Dismal here:
"The Great Dismal Swamp spans over a hundred thousand acres. Home to countless species, it is a place teeming with life… and death. For the top of the food chain lives in a dingy cabin deep in the heart of the swamp,...

It was last May when we first learned about a short film called "Judith" that was being written by Kenny Caperton, creator of The Myers House Nc, a life-size replica of the infamous Michael Myers house from John Carpenter's Halloween. At that time "Judith"'s director, Josh Hasty, informed us that they hoped to begin filming in September at The Myers House. Apparently sometimes things do go according to plan as we heard from Caperton today, who informed us shooting would be under way in a couple of weeks.
Caperton actually had two updates for us -- the first about "Judith" and another detailing plans for the first annual Myers House Halloween Bash to be held Saturday night, October 31st. The Myers House is located in Orange County, North Carolina, in rural Hillsborough and doubles as Caperton's residence.
Here's a bit more on "Judith" (official site here):
