A Pair Of Impressive Shorts: Comedy ‘Horror Movies Suck’ And ‘Dollface’ (Made In Just 51-Hours)
Written and directed by JohnMark Triplett, and starring Rob Lambert, JohnMark Triplett, Damien Hedgecoth, Liesel Hansen and Justin Kupanoff, comes Horror Movies Suck, the above short film that carries a comedic tone. In it, “George decides to show his roommate, Sam, a rare underground film from the late 70’s called Evil Comes to Soggy Bottom. Soon, things take an unexpected turn in this award-winning horror/comedy that satirizes horror films and the people who watch them.”
In addition, we’re also excited to share Colin Campbell’s Dollface, a short created in just 51-hours!! It stars Kimberly Atkinson, Jen Dede, Nick Holmes, Roma Maffia and Shelly Wenk. Originally made for the Producers Guild Debra Hill Short Film Contest, the 7-minute long short is pretty fantastic!
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
