  • Disappointed whines, frustrated sighs and demands for refunds arose from theaters packed for “The Devil Inside.” Yet, another exercise in hype and found footage hoopla, “The Devil Inside” is actually a decent effort at supernatural horror and a damnation of the Vatican. Other than praising the effort, comment boards and rating meters across the web have built a consensus that the movie sucks. What a phenomenon though, as even with the film already panned before...1January 8, 2012

    ‘The Devil Inside’ Makes a Clean Getaway at Boxoffice

  • As Denver music rises the echelon of being considered a nationally recognized “scene,” here at Mile High Cinema we’re certainly asking, what about film? Aside from a few outcroppings of local talent that float off to the coasts, there’s difficulty categorizing a film scene that is definably Denver. Instead we have the promise of filmmakers, like Kristine Hipps, Patrick Mann and Duane Brown of Paper Cat Films, experimenting in the cinematic territory of Horror that...0October 13, 2011

    ‘You’re Not Getting Out Alive’ from Denver’s Paper Cat Films

  • The Denver Film Scene gears up for the season of scares with plenty of Zombies, Sadistic Surgeons and Creepy Kids at these Halloween Film Events in October and November, 2011 at the Denver Film Center, Landmark Theatres and Denver Public Library. The Denver Film Society is starting things off in a lighter mood with a new movie that’s not light on gore in the indie horror/comedy, “Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil,” which runs at the...0October 5, 2011

    Get Your Halloween Horror Fix: Denver Film Events

  • Keith Garcia is a Nancy Boy…and that’s badass. As Programming Manager of the Denver Film Society and curator of their weekly Watching Hour series, Garcia lives, breaths, and literally bleeds film. The Watching Hour featured special guest Heather Langenkamp, loving known as Nancy Thompson, Freddy Krueger’s arch nemesis in “A Nightmare On Elm Street,” at a screening of her documentary “I Am Nancy.” In introducing the documentary he said, “It’s about time Nancy got some...2September 26, 2011

    ‘I Am Nancy’ at The Watching Hour

  • You’re going to hear a lot of talk about the Mile High Horror Film Festival around here as October approaches, not just because I adore horror more than anything, but because they’re only in their second year and they’ve already snagged a major sponsor. Cable channel FEARnet has not just partnered with the MHHFF as an official sponsor, but will also be playing the winning short film of this year’s event on FEARnet. This is...0August 23, 2011

    Mile High Horror Film Festival Finds Major Sponsor in FEARnet

  • Cinema verite within the horror genre is near and dear to my heart. I’ll sing the praises of “Paranormal Activity” until I die, and I even wrote a “found footage” horror film with a friend. So naturally, when I stumbled across the trailer for “Graystone,” I was excited. Keep ‘em coming! Then I saw the plot and I got all sad. The film purports to be based on true events and follows a group of...0July 7, 2011

    Trailer for Cinema Verite “Graystone” Does Little to Entice

  • How many horror films have you seen in just the past year and walked out of the theater thinking: “I could do better than that piece of Ostrich Stool?” The 48 Hr Fright Fest gives Denverites a chance to walk the walk with a competition to write, shoot and edit a 4 minute Horror film. Do you have what it takes to freak Denver out; to steal that already thin Mile High air out of...0June 23, 2011

    48 Hour Fright Fest Competition in Denver

  • Kim Ji-woon’s “I Saw the Devil” promises not just sprinkled moments of visceral horror, but a lifeline of brutality that pulses at every twist. Frankensteinian themes and stylistic moods of gritty 70s crime thrillers create an unpredictably monstrous vengeance film. Korean Rating Boards required Kim Ji-woon to cut some choice moments to avoid a restricted rating. This didn’t faze Korea’s master director of diverse tastes; he made the 7 cuts, knowing full well that in...0June 5, 2011

    Review: ‘I Saw the Devil’

  • There’s so much rubbish in movies today, even a film about a psychopathic tire squeals for attention. That seems to be the underlying jab from Quentin Dupieux’s mock-horror film “Rubber.” With overt metaphors and monologues that smash the 4th wall with stabbing commentary, “Rubber” beautifies the rubbish it mocks. The tire, Robert, awakens from a junk yard, stumbles to a roll and gracefully lures us into his devious antics. That in itself is a metaphor,...1May 28, 2011

    Review: ‘Rubber’

  • A day or two ago Scott Weinberg of Twitch.com posted a list of the top 50 horror films of the past decade. With inspiration from the peanut gallery on Twitter, Mr. Weinberg compiled what I consider to be a halfway decent list; it does, however, have some problems. I accept the fact that most of the films on the list are there not because they’re “good,” but because of what they represent. “Saw” kicked off...3April 6, 2011
