Top 5 SCARS Anticipated Hollywood Films Of 2011

July 5th, 2011

I have to say I have not been excited about this year in movies. In 2005 I was a KONG geek and actually got to see the premiere in NYC, so everything else has had a weak impact on me…

I’ll run down my list of movies that have made me somewhat itchy but only one has me to the point of utter giddiness. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

DaggerVision’s Caustic Zombies

July 5th, 2011

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.”

For showings or ticket information, please visit www.daggervisionfilms.com

and www.causticzombies.com. Or for theater information please contact The

Hollywood Theater located at 1449 Potamac Avenue in Dormont, via phone at

412-563-0368 or you can visit their website, www.thehollywooddormont.org.

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!

Aaron Stoquert: Run For Your Life!

July 5th, 2011

Aaron Stoquert has written the perfect Zombie soundtrack. If you like Nick Cave and Tom Waits haunting style this will be right up your alley. As I write this the lyrics “Think of us as the world dies” flow like blood out of my Bose ear buds. I highly recommend purchasing anything Aaron has to offer to support his sheer understanding of mood and aural texture.
