Know what one of the things we like most about indie films is? The filmmakers don't have to worry about their projects' rating and so can bloody things up to their hearts' content! Case in point: Kevin Kangas' (Fear of Clowns) new movie, The Garden of Hedon.
The film is already in the can, and Kangas and company are following a rather unique distribution plan... they're gonna put the whole thing up online for free! Head on over to the Kangas Khan Films Facebook page for more info!
The Garden of Hedon tells the tale of a detective trapped in a supernatural house where women are being murdered. It stars Richard Cutting (National Treasure 2), Danielle Lozeau (Legion, The Eye), John C. Bailey (The Men Who Built America), Beau Peregino (A Haunting), Paul Sieber (Ninjas Vs. Vampires), and Manuel Poblete (Game Change). The music score is by veteran composer Chad Seiter (“Fringe,...

Ninjas Vs. Vampires
Stars: Jay Saunders, Daniel Ross, Devon Marie Burt | Written and Directed by Justin Timpane
Ninjas vs. Vampires is a low budget film featuring both ninjas and vampires. If you read my Cowboys & Zombies review, it will save some mentions which I have to give for this particular film. Firstly, it’s low-budget, secondly, the special effects are bad (because of the budget) and the acting isn’t so great. So, the main thing to consider, is it an enjoyable film?
It is… in parts.
When two teens are attacked by vampires, and then subsequently saved by ninjas, they can’t believe this could be real. That is until they become embroiled in a fight between the two groups. The ninjas aren’t all that ninja-ish, but the vampires are fairly vampy.
The film seems to take its leave from Blade, there’s a half-ninja, half-vampire character who has the powers of both.

D: Justin Timpane
C: Daniel Ross, Jay Saunders, Cory Okouchi, Carla Okouchi, Devon Marie Burt, Melissa McConnell, P.J. Megaw, Elizabeth Taylor, Kurt Skarstedt, Justine Timpane, Daniel Mascarello, William Stendebeck, Dan Guy
The ninjas of the "Ninjas vs." franchise take on a new member who's driven to rescue the girl of his dreams from a group of evil vamps.
Satisfying followup to Ninjas vs. Zombies has the right balance of "Blade" type action and horror. The right amount of Gen X type humor channeling films like "Reality Bites" and "Clerks". The right amount of posing and posturing to give it that cool factor. And just the right amount of edge and bite to give it some substance. Ninjas vs. Vampires is a briskly paced, entertaining film with one little fun vignette right after another. Part of the success of this entry is that the film has energy.

Think back to the comedies of the 1990's like Clueless, Reality Bites, Clerks, etc. They had edge. They had bite. They captured the spirit and the essence of the Gen X slacker mentality to the tee. This period of film has been looked upon by fans fondly. There have been films that have tried to capture the essence and the spirit of these films, but too often do these films come across as feeling forced and labored. Enter Washington D.C. based actor Daniel Ross of Ninjas vs. Vampires (starring: Jay Saunders, Cory Okouchi, Carla Okouchi, Devon Marie Burt, Melissa McConnell, P.J. Megaw, Elizabeth Taylor and Kurt Skarstedt and directed by Justine Timpane). This aspiring up and coming presence captures the mentality of the actors of that period and of those films through his performances with such ease and fluidity. Ninjas Vs. Vampires, his latest film, also serves as the perfect showcase for Daniel Ross,...
