[BD Review] Evan Says ‘Gravity’ Is Terrifying, Inspiring and Human…
It’s an extreme rarity for a film to land a perfect score here on Bloody Disgusting – for me personally, it needs to stand on repeat viewing to earn such a bold score.
Evan Dickson returned from a screening of Warner Bros. Pictures’ Gravity – starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock – completely shaken up, and rattled deep in his core. From the sound of his review, what we have on our hands in a modern sci-fi masterpiece. Hey, if James Cameron was marveled by it, I expect to have my mind blown when it’s released in theaters October 4.
“Gravity is without question the most visceral experience I’ve had in a theater this year,” says Dickson in his review, further adding that “It’s also downright horrifying.”
“Beyond being inspiring, terrifying and expertly accomplished, Gravity is profoundly empathetic and human,” he adds. “[Director Alfonso] Cuarón has made the rare space epic that almost everyone will be able relate to.”

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
