Mulberry Street (2006)
Nov 15, 2022Rat-Human Hybrids
The first film from Jim Mickle, a tense and effective horror work about the residents of an apartment building under siege from rat-human hybrids
Stake Land (2010)
Sep 8, 2011Post-Apocalyptic World of Vampires
Strong and highly original film that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by vampires. This has more the feel of a zombie film or an existential Western but does some highly original things with its ideas
We Are What We Are (2013)
May 11, 2014Family of Cannibals
English-language remake of the Mexican film, this version made by Jim Mickle who made the fine Stake Land. This version is far less cryptic about what is happening but is more muted and takes far longer to ever arrive at being a horror film, although delivers an effectively brutal ending
Late Phases (2014)
Mar 21, 2016Werewolf in a Retirement Village
A highly original treatment of werewolf themes that begins with the unique premise of ‘Werewolf in a Retirement Village' and features a hero who is an aging blind man
Stake Land II (2016)
May 8, 2017Post-Apocalyptic World of Vampires
Stake Land, set in a beautifully wintry post-holocaust world where vampires had taken over, one of the best films from Glass Eye Pix. This is a sequel that reunites most of the same elements from the original but fails to ignite them as memorably as the first film did
