Red ribbons in the Stained Glass House

A small-time journalist, desperate for a big break, searches for evidence that could expose the sex crimes of a deviant archbishop, but can she trust her source, or will she risk her own life to make headlines?

Nightfall

Haunted by guilt, a young man seeks forgiveness from a grieving mother – only to find himself drawn into a nightmarish night of frightening truths.

Grunge

In 1992, “Le Slouch” was on the verge of stardom. With a scorching new single lighting up the charts and their first music video premiering on “Headslammers Bash”, everything seems to be falling into place, until disaster strikes.

Asshole guard

Roy called him as a guardian angel. Now he cleans up his cosmic mess – one soul at a time. With a demon for a wingman and a trail of bad karma. . . a higher power has never had such low standards. Salvation is ready for one hell of a journey.

Slush

Frankie finds his toxic community and must tap into its dark side to survive unscathed.

Tasteless

When he confronts a restaurateur with a secret, the customer’s eyes are bigger than his stomach.

Will Helm

It is 1994 when we fall into a strange sound booth. A master of sound and a legendary director mix a horror classic, but we turn up the volume on the man behind the screams to see if he’s up to the task.
