My review of the debut indie film BLOODSTAINED ROMANCE by director Travis Miller is now up on Fatally Yours!


“My goal as a filmmaker is to create films that show the horrifying ability of the human will. To me I think that’s the scariest thing in the world because what a person can do when they set their minds to it is far more shocking than a ghost or monster,” stated indie filmmaker Travis Miller on the Mudd Miller Productions MySpace page. In many ways I have to agree with Miller. Out of all of the various gruesome horror plot scenarios one could find themselves within, those focusing solely around the depraved depths of the human mind are perhaps the most disturbing. To think that within humanity lies the capability to commit the most horrifyingly atrocious crimes instinctively is truly terrifying. For every horror movie made, there is an actual human being who has committed a crime equally disturbing, if not more so for it is reality and not merely fiction. Why, just last week a man on a bus leaving a carnival in Toronto attacked another man, gutted him, decapitated him and then began to eat him. A completely unprovoked, completely random act of extreme violence that would have fit perfectly into a hardcore slasher film and yet, it was real. Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? Are horror movies merely entertainment or are they, on some level, a grim documentary of our own grave levels of depravity? A question to be pondered… CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW ON FATALLY YOURS!
