Action

Available on VOD: 5 juli 2018

In the vein of blockbusters THE EXPENDABLES and THE A-TEAM, a group of highly skilled mercenaries find themselves betrayed by the U.S. Government, and are forced to fight their way out of an ambush by a new, lethal humanoid drone. Get ready for some intense action!

• Action-flix.com: Mandylor is in true action hero mode. Battle Drone is an epic indie action blast!
• Bulletproofaction.com: Battle Drone did not have the star power of The Expendables or even some of the other movies inspired by the Stallone franchise, but what Battle Drone did have was plenty of video game style action jammed into the 93 minute runtime. I thought the cast had good chemistry and the movie progressed at an entertaining pace. Battle Drone also had a satisfying ending that left the door open for Rekker and company to see more action in the future.
• Filmcombatsyndicate.blogspot.nl: For Battle Drone, Gould serves a consistent, solid leading man in Mandylor along with Parè and actress Swain. It's damn good fun!

• Heavenofhorror.com: This is very much a horror movie. And a good one at that.
• Loudandclearreviews.com: The Puppetman will satisfy horror fans with its kills.
• Scifihistory.net: Great thrills and chills.

• Confessionsofahorrorfreak.org: Thanks to Gorske Michal’s character development can be properly seen and her transition from vulnerable to creepy is believable.
• Heavenofhorror.com: A true horror treat.
• Jbspins.com: Christensen’s best film yet, thanks to some genuinely eerie séance sequences and the super-nasty spin it puts on demonic possession. Christensen takes viewers to some dark, twisted places, which is great.

Reborn

Horror

Available on VOD: 10 oktober 2019

Director: Julian Richards

Cast: Barbara Crampton (You're Next, Re-Animator), Michael Paré (The Philadelphia Experiment, The Lincoln Lawyer, The Virgin Suicides), Kayleigh Gilbert, Monte Markham, Chaz Bono (American Horror Story)

A stillborn baby girl brought back to life by an electrical storm before being abducted from hospital by a morgue attendant. On her sixteenth birthday, empowered with the gift to manipulate electricity, she escapes her captor and sets out to find her birth mother leaving a trail of destruction behind her.

• BFI.org.uk: a sophisticated dramatisation of an actress’s internalised ‘method’ of processing personal trauma into performance.
• Joblo.com: Kayleigh Gilbert, who did a terrific job in the role of Tess, her performance complimented by the fact that she has a great look for the part. 7/10.
• 28dayslateranalysis.com: Full of interesting scenes and outlandish deaths, Reborn is a horror thriller for those seeking out something a bit refreshing.
• Eyeforfilm.co.uk: We get a playfully formulaic story involving protectiveness, revenge, spectacular deaths (some of which feel richly deserved) and investigation.
• Horrorhothousereview.wordpress.com: Crampton makes a fair fist of the older woman film star determined to fight her way back while still saddled with an overarching sense of loss while Gilbert appears superbly deranged as the girl determined to sort things out for her new-found mom. All in it’s an effective chiller with at least two killer jump out of your seat moments.
• Moviesinfocus.com: A fun flick with a game cast.

• Best Director - Roswell Film Festival (USA)
• Best Sci-Fi Feature - Another Hole In The Head (USA)
