While
Pet Sematary‘s presentation might feel a tad Lifetime-y now, it still serves up a great tale on the human inability to accept the end of life, hitting all the right beats with regular thrills,...Read more

Death Grip. It’s a videogame parody where I play a Karate man taking on two other players played by fellow Stunt People and
Death Grip actors Shaun Finney and Yun Lujhei Yang.

It’s been a long time coming since the last indie action roundup, and since there’s been so much good stuff released lately just featuring various Stunt People members and associates, it’s time to resume the madness and show you exactly how indie action videos are superior to Hollywood’s latest stream of ooze (though Captain America was a pleasant surprise).
I gotta hand it to Ed Kahana first. His latest film ...Read more
