Dormont, PA, July 22, 2011- Independent horror film director Johnny Daggers,
debuts his first full-length feature film, “Caustic Zombies” at the Hollywood
Theater. This premiere will mark the beginning of an era for the native Pittsburgh
film company, DaggerVision Films.
“Pittsburgh is rich in horror history, and to be kicking off the release of ‘Caustic
Zombies’ at the Hollywood Theater is quite an honor,” says director Johnny
Daggers. “I am excited to help Pittsburgh carry on yet another generation of
horror movies. I can only aspire to make an impact on the genre as powerful as
my predecessors.”
DaggerVision Films, which made its start in May 2010, has proven to be one
of the most well-received independent horror film companies in Pittsburgh.
Recently they were featured in Rabid and Xploited magazines, as well as being
mentioned in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. This latest recognition solidifies
their posterity like so many other filmmakers have done in the past.
“When I write my scripts, I am essentially writing about myself, and how I would
react when things went down. People can expect “Caustic Zombies” to have a
lot of gore, but also a lot of sarcastic humor.”

Ok, I get press releases all the time and this one jumped out at me because of this statement “DaggerVision Films, which is owned and operated by the amazing Johnny Daggers”. So of course I need proof of the Amazing Johnny Daggers. Caustic Zombies is his full length feature and maybe if I’m good I’ll get a screener to see how AMAZING Johnny is. 
So jump down and read the press release and watch the Trailer!

After what seems like forever, The Thing remake trailer has officially made its way to the internet. I think I’m on the fence about this simply because I love the Carpenter film so much; I just think there is no reason to see a group of Norwegians go through the same “Thing” as MacReady’s crew….but after seeing the trailer it seems as though Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. is keeping the faith right down to the Dean Cundey framing and lighting. I’m just hoping for this not to suck. If I can sit through it without getting mad I will give it my stamp of approval.
