You know, whenever I open my mailbox and find a package of DVDs from Planet Fury, I throw up a little bit in my mouth. "Why?", you might ask. Because I know that, in among the really good flicks, there's going to be a really bad one. Not a "so bad it's good" flickershow. Those, I love. No...I mean really Bad.
And then there's A Darker Reality.
A Darker Reality follows the investigation of Lapd Detective Alex "Cold Steel" Belasco (Burns) and Dr. Jesse Metcalf (Doench) as they hunt for a serial killer known as "The Ghost" (Baldwin). Actually, the two of them spend a great deal of the time seeing who can overact more. And the "Maurice Evans Ham Award" for 2008 goes to...Daniel Baldwin! So that's where those excess pounds came from,...

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Phase 4 Films.
Director: Chris Kazmier.
Writer: Sxv'leithan Essex.
A six month streak of not having to turn a movie off early has been broken by Phase 4 Films' A Darker Reality. This reviewer wanted to turn this film off at the twenty minute mark, but an obligation kept this critic watching until about the one hour point. The film did not improve. Starring Daniel Baldwin, A Darker Reality is a reimaging of Chris Kazmier's earlier film Dark Reality (2006). This product was finished in 2008; unsurprisingly, this follow-up waited three years before finding a release date. And this reviewer hopes that Kazmier gives up on this atorcious series or finds money to improve his filmmaking style. Full of bad acting, zero musical selections, dark sets and tortuous scenes, A Darker Reality gets a place on 28Dla's Worst Films of...

A group of women wake up in a cold cement basement. Drugged and terrified, they find themselves captive to a depraved psychopath whose blood-lust and insanity know no bounds. Police Detective Balasco and psychiatrist Dr. Metcalfe team up in a desperate attempt to locate the girls and their soon to be murderer, a serial killer known as Ghost. But time is running out as Ghost's sick experiments begin to leave the girls tortured beyond recognition. To survive, the girls must band together in a last attempt to save themselves from a fate far worse than death.

12.00 Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Vampire culture has gotten the film treatment more than any niche of the occult world. The world seems to be ga-ga for vampirism; the inherent sexuality, the blood, the power - the elements come together each and every time to form the same movie, the only real difference is how the features are implemented. Bled definitely has a new angle on the vampire concept treating it as a mere means to be exploited for immortality instead of focusing on the immortality of vampirism itself. The blood of innocents sustaining the life of an immortal: old and mentioned in Bled. Where Bled hits a new vein is in how the vampirism exists and the elementary analysis of addiction that gets thrown in along with it.

Bled is a vampire movie without teeth. There’s literally and figuratively no bite to it. And not much bloodshed, either. Or sex. On the DVD’s audio commentary by producer Jeffrey Allard, director Christopher Hutson and composer Chris Kazmier, the filmmakers discuss their intention to “retool” the vampire film. If by this they mean defang and dilute the subgenre, well, then they were successful.
Horror fans will have a frustrating time sitting through a movie that plays like Twilight lite for “bit lit” readers. And sorry, ladies (and any “bit lit” gents out there), but Bled’s bloodsucker, Renfield (Jonathan Oldham), is no Robert Pattinson. I can’t believe I just said that…
The movie begins with some very pretentious, very bad narration grandiloquently spoken by Renfield over a dream sequence of Sai (Sarah Farooqui) being chased through a forest by a creature (called the “Incubus”) that looks like...
