Director/writer: Olivier Beguin.
Dead Bones is a short nineteen minute film that was recently shown at the Nevermore Film Festival. Now, the film is available to fans and reviewed here. Starring Ken Foree this picture involves cannibalism, bounty hunters, and lots of gunplay. The film is too short to be gripping, but the film blends horror and westerns naturally.
The plot line follows a bounty hunter (Arie Verveen) into a desolate town known as Dead Bones where the dead are recycled for tasty treats. In Dead Bones travelers are not only shown hospitality but eaten by the locals. Also, in Dead Bones are two wanted men who have already been apprehended by the locals for later butchering. In the course of the film the hunter releases one criminal in order to escape an underground butcher's house through teamwork. They fight their way out of the town to a final showdown between hunter and prey.

Chicago – Horror fans heard the buzz surrounding “Cabin Fever” for months before it came out and the film launched Mr. Eli Roth to the “Hostel” films and even a role in the multiple Oscar nominee “Inglourious Basterds”. That film has now been released on Blu-ray to coincide with its straight-to-dvd sequel “Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever,” itself directed by an already-acclaimed new horror director, “House of the Devil“‘s Ti West.
“Cabin Fever 2” DVD Rating: 1.0/5.0
“Cabin Fever” Blu-Ray Rating: 3.0/5.0
“Cabin Fever” undeniably had a twisted, dark sense of humor but West’s “Cabin fever 2” takes it several steps further, practically pitching his sequel as a comedic spoof of ’80s teen horror flicks. He moves the action to a high school and keeps the flesh-eating action in place, but his tone is severely tongue-in-cheek from the animated opening credits to exaggerated faculty members to the appearances by over-the-top personalities like Mark Borchardt,...

A western and a horror film rolled into one? Why has no one thought of this before? Oh wait, there was the Burrowers and Deadwalkers, but there has not been a western involving cannibals and "secret meat (Joblo)." Nevermore is on a roll, or more like an avalanche, as several quality horror films grace the North Carolina screens. Dead Bones is no exception according to one review and already the film has been called "a spaghetti western submerged in horror (Joblo)." This short film is not to be missed, so dust off your six-shooters and head down to the festival. Just stay away from the special meat!
The short synopsis for Dead Bones:
A bounty hunger looking for a couple of no good criminals finds himself in a dusty old western town searching for an easy reward. He finds more than he bargained for when the local butcher lets...

As if the constant whinnies, neighs and snorts of the four-legged lead characters -- providing some clues to their thoughts and behavior -- weren't enough, Columbia's kiddie horse fantasy "Running Free" is reined in by an oppressive first-animal narration (read by Lukas Haas) that will irk, if not uproot, most adult viewers.
Jean-Jacques Annaud, producer and co-author of the film's original story, was surely after another unique film experience and worldwide boxoffice hit like "The Bear", but "Running" comes off as seriously botched, and it certainly won't start any stampedes among domestic ticket buyers. If for nothing else, the film based on historical events is endurable for the fantastic locations in Namibia.
Horse lovers also have many things to feast their eyes on in director Sergei Bodrov's World War I adventure set in southwest Africa, where a pregnant grey mare from Germany is shipped to work in a mine. During the long sea voyage, she gives birth to Lucky, a chestnut colt who is separated from his mom when the horses reach their destination.
The horses are dumped in the ocean and forced to swim ashore. Lucky falls behind and is eventually put in a railroad car. Arriving at the mine days later, Lucky is very ill and found by a young boy, Richard (Chase Moore), who is himself an orphan and thrilled to have his own horse to take care of.
Lucky and Richard look out for each other. The former still misses Mom, but he takes coltish interest in friendly young filly Beauty and stays away from her big and mean father, Caesar.
While the early part of the movie is dependent on the quest of son to find mother and vice versa, "Running" insists on making Caesar into a villain who causes the grey mare's death and galvanizes Lucky to seek revenge. After his reunion with the grey mare, Lucky also has to say goodbye to Richard because of the war, with all the humans abandoning the mine and leaving the horses to fend for themselves.
In what appears to be just a season or two after he has survived a lone desert trek to find a hidden lake, the grown Lucky returns to the still-deserted mine to lead his comrades to the Promised Land, while giving Caesar his well-deserved comeuppance. Reunited with Beauty, Lucky and the rest of the herd are happy as baking clams. Years later, the grown-up Richard (Arie Verveen) comes looking for and, remarkably to say the least, finds his old bud Lucky.
