The Reviews are In: Colony of the Dark, Crippled Masters 2 & 3, Why Lie? I Need a Drink

That's right the reviews are coming in fast and furious for the new Apprehensive Films titles.

Colony of the Dark:
"The one area in which this film succeeds the most are its oddly created special effects. That look crude and often call attention to themselves. And yet their gaudiness is exactly what makes them so appealing." - 10KBullets.com

Crippled Masters 2 & 3:
"Behold films that take both the buddy film genre and the kung-fu genre to strange new places. You don’t even have to be a card-carrying kung-fu fan to enjoy them. Fans of the weird or exploitation in general can surely catch a laugh and maybe even a thrill from these two movies." - corazine.com

Why Lie? I Need a Drink:
"What a fascinating indie doc this is! When you’re done with this, you’ll no doubt have your opinion about the subject. It might even be different than the one you started out with. It might not. But I can pretty much guarantee you’ll be entertained and enlightened." - Corazine.com

Finally a New Apprehensive Films Update: DeathHost $10,000 - Why Lie Distribution Grows - New Releases!

I know it's been a couple of weeks since the last blog update, but things have been crazy around the Apprehensive Films office.

First off Mr. Lobo and his team of Cinsomniacs raised over $11,000 on Kickstarter for the 10th Anniversary Season of the show. This means 26 new episodes of Cinema Insomnia are on their way and possibly the first Cinema Insomnia DVD released into the major Video Market! Things are looking for Cinema Insomnia in 2011!

Our in-house produced documentary Why Lie? I Need a Drink continues to bust down the distribution barriers that many small films of it's kind fall victim to. New retailers that have picked the film up include BlowItOutaHere.com, Overstock.com, MovieMars.com, Red Tag Market and a ton Ebay and Amazon sellers. Our full page ad for the film just came out in the new issue of Documentary Magazine (on stands now). We may also be getting a review in a very large and well respected national newspaper. More on that later.

We're starting 2011 off with a bang. The Crippled Masters 2 & 3 hit store on 1/25/11, Colony of the Dark hits stores on 1/18/11, and Comic Book Independents hits stores on 2/22/11. We're also working on some other great titles for 2011 right now, we're in talks for a couple of Super8mm Creature Features from the direct-to-video 1980's hey day of splatter films.

Undated Releases for 2011

• Since I Don't Have You (Super8mm Slasher)


• The Raven in 3D (music by Claudio Simonetti!)


• The Devil (1981) Insect Vomiting at it's Finest!
