My latest review for Fatally Yours is now posted. It is for the indie horror flick, ABE’S TOMB. I don’t know what came over me, but the tragedy of it’s historical “badness” simply evoked a dragon-lady response from me…


When Sarah at Fatally-Yours said she had an indie vampire film for me to review, I was actually pretty excited. Despite the few indie disappointments, which I had to review previously for F-Y, this one was a vampire film and we all know that vampires have a special, bloodstained place in my heart. However, within the first five seconds of the film, my head was already resting firmly in the palms of my hands accompanied by a low, miserable groan. The acting was bad. Not bad in “a couple of beers and it will be funnier” way. No, this was the “bad” that is beyond all recognizable help, the type of “bad” that makes you wonder if the director of the film didn’t just go down to the local 7-11 and pick up a few people that had been hanging around the Slurpee machine and then ask Uncle Bob to play the detective because they had run out of money to buy beer for the extras. However, I decided to give the movie another twenty minutes in hopes that perhaps it would suddenly, miraculously surprise me with an unexpected turn of acting talent. Twenty very long and tedious minutes passed…And still, I was as miserably disappointed as I had been within the first five seconds. What is this indie disaster, you ask? This would Abe’s Tomb released by Arizona-based production house Maxim Media International… CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW ON FATALLY YOURS
