REVIEW: The Lamb
Review by- “Scratchy” Pete Ellott
This one’s from Director Shawn Burkett and Concept Media. A new short film delivered in 2016 that makes a nice little imprint on a well-trodden path.
Religion, cults and deciphering sparse information leads the viewer on a trail of discovery.
Emerging slowly. It grows and forces the viewer to grow right along with it in its short run time.
It can do nothing else than hold your attention despite its seemingly slow burn (at times) questioning.
Intentional. Making the climax all the more satisfying.
But not hard to pick for the seasoned viewer.
A bloody awakening.
Realisation.
Running.
From what?
Questions lead to recollection…
Piece by piece.
“The Evil One.”
Hints.
Becoming.
Manifestations.
Probing deep within…
Consciousness.
In amongst ancient blood rites and ceremony.
Life and death…
Chosen.
One.
“Everything went black.”
Detective Matthews and Sarah Combs work through the clues and the mystery in this slow reveal. Payton Krebs plays her role very well.
The cinematography and overall look of the film is both professional and well shot. Clear and well edited. A good use of subtle effects – never trying to outdo itself.
Remaining simple and true to itself and the story that it allows unfold.
One cannot help but feel this is a nice little “statement” from Shawn to all the non-believers of his upcoming instalment entitled “Don’t Fuck in the Woods”…
Saying yeah, I can deliver and deliver well.

Director Uwe Boll shouldn’t need much of an introduction to film fans. Quite the controversial figure, it seems if he’s not making films that divide opinion, he’s pissing off the people that are.
I was privileged enough to speak to Uwe recently and, well, I’ll let you decide if he’s the contentious character you may think he is…

Let’s open with a baffling misconception: Women are new to the filmmaking trenches. What?! Why this fallacy spread, we’ll never understand. How it spread is by omission; and, such seemingly passive silence can be dangerously aggressive.

REVIEW: Razor Bastard 2
Some would argue that the showdown of the year in the comic's world was 'Batman V Superman' or 'Civil War', but I'll contest that and claim it's clearly Paul Johnson's comic book sequel 'Razor Bastard: Rise of Dick Machine'.REVIEW: Tabloid Vivant
