Valeri Milev’s debut feature Re-Kill (2012) was all set for a UK release as part of the After Dark label, but for some reason got pulled at the last minute.

It is of course shot completely within the… Read More The Cabin at Sorrow Creek (2007)

He was quite passionate about it too, going into extreme detail about how I had conned him out of the princely sum of £2.50 and how… Read More Cabin Fever 3: Patient Zero (2014)
