Last Stop Station

In the world of no-budget independent horror films, it's becoming extremely difficult to discern the mediocre from the god awful, the bad from the absolute worst, and the cheap from some welfare recipient turned home video pro who's only fan is himself, and about six of his best friends who happen to help out (and more importantly star) in some mess that can only be categorized as amateur slop.

I was privy to an online screening of this short film by writer/director Andy Kumpon, and I must say-- I think I actually enjoyed it. I mean really; Aliens VS. Tabloid Journalist... come on! It sounds absolutely ridiculous. But Kumpon does it some justice-- and gives it a "creepy aura", as well as some superb photography and a black and white "haunted" feel that adds mood, atmosphere and most importantly style.

I understand this short, along with another highly atmospheric micro piece titled "Shadows in the Garden" will appear on the feature length horror Anthology "Monstersdotcom", to be released by Brimstone Productions. I would check it out just to strengthen my observation that the future of original/horror story telling may indeed be in good hands.

And that, is all we can hope for.
