Description: Under Ten Million? Anything's Possible! by Barry Atkinson, A. Susan Svehla Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Hundreds of indie horror, sci-fi and fantasy films listed with over 600 photos of indies made during the 2000s. Publisher Description The indie horror/fantasy/sci-fi scene has waned slightly since peaking around 2016/2017 ), the accent now firmly on "mockbusters" or disaster movies to the extent that everything else (horror and sci-fi) has been shunted into the sidelines. By indie, I refer to those films made by Asylum (The Global Asylum), Full Moon, Cinetel Films, Castel Films Romania, Nu Image and a host of other names unfamiliar to the average fan. Low-budget features can be produced by the big boys; some hit the jackpot, others fall by the wayside, but at least theyre being made. These days, with up to (and over) $200 million being splashed out on the likes of Kong: Skull Island, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Transformers: The Last Knight, Pacific Rim, Godzilla: King of the Monsters and all those superhero escapades, 10 million can feel like small change. Independent film companies exist in a totally different kind of cinematic universe, quite happy to appeal to its niche audience, providing them (via DVD, TV, streaming, film conventions, FrightFests or a very limited and selected cinema release) with a never-ending supply of cut-price goodies and bypassing the masses, most of who are completely unaware of their existence. Camerons Avatar? Yeah, great movie. Jim Wynorskis Shockwave? Who? What? Battle Los Angeles? Loved it. Battle of Los Angeles? Eh? Thought there was only Battle Los Angeles. The 7 Adventures of Sinbad? Sorry -surely you mean The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Mega Piranha? Well, Ive heard of Piranha but Mega Piranha? Jurassic City? Are you referring to Jurassic World? For those of us weary of the pretentious, who have become blasé to the over-hyped and indifferent to the bloated, are put off by the constant trumpeting surrounding the latest innovations in the field of special effects (and some turn out to be not all that special), or have tired of the parade of self-gratulatory A-listers, products like Hydra, Ice Twisters, Evil Angel, Lake Mungo, Dark Circles, May, The Dinosaur Project, Dr. Moreaus House of Pain, Howl, Ogre, Bigfoot, Autumn, Reptisaurus, Dark Angel: The Ascent, Age of Dinosaurs, Flight 7500, The Reef, Alien Dawn, The Blackout and 2-Headed Shark Attack are like a breath of fresh cinematic air. These features hark back in many ways to the innocence, zeal and creativeness displayed in the fantasy output of the 50s and 60s, the genres golden decades. Disaster, end-of-world, outer space, aliens, vampires, werewolves, zombies, teen horror, Frankenstein, serial killer, slasher/splatter, torture-porn, psychological drama, medical horror, other worlds, ghosts, mad doctors, the supernatural, asylums, haunted houses, dinosaurs, mutated insects, lost/found footage, weather formations, giant reptiles and mega sharks---you name it, its probably been covered by an indie outfit somewhere; theres something to cater to everyones tastes, a tasty diet of enriching, altogether more divergent, fodder which otherwise would never have been made or seen the light of day. After all, would any of the big motion picture companies take the financial risk of tackling something as unconventional as The Human Centipede (First Sequence) and its two disgusting sequels? I think not. And as for Nude Nuns with Big Guns ...! Author Biography Atkinson, a Renaissance man, originally from Brighton, UK, studied at Cornwall College and lives in St. Columb, Cornwall. Barry enjoys writing, watching and writing about movies, of course, (especially 1950s horror), reading, walking, exploring Cornwalls old mines, music (rock to classical), geology, fossils and his and wife Janets cats.
