    Awful communication. I am pretty sure it was a scam, because the deadline kept changing, and I never received any emails nor was contacted after being accepted.

    The Buzz Vicious International Film Festival was one of the few places that actually showed my horror movie titled, "Natzee Zombie Carnage". Thanks!

    Festival - fantasma. Non si è mai svolto e tuttora, nonostante sia passato quasi un mese dalla data ufficiale del'evento, non si sa nulla. Festival assolutamente da evitare.
