    An amazing festival with a focus on the filmmakers and independent horror cinema, in general. The organizers do a great job promoting the festival at the convention. I hope to be invited back next year!

    Response from festival:

    Thank You for your review, We are gearing up for our next show in 2020, keep an eye out!

    This festival is awesome! I wasn’t able to attend in person, but Sean was always very communicative and very fast at responding to my questions. One of my actresses was able to attend and had a blast at the convention and we had a very good response to our film.
    Thanks Sean! Would definitely enter this festival again!

    I have had my film Death Comes Twice accepted into a few festivals but was only able to attend Grindhouse Video's. They did a great job organizing the pack so that each film blended in nicely with the others. I made some great connections here and it seems many of the films shown are being looked at by a major industry producer for possible distribution. Sean and Mike were excellent to work with.
