27 August 2009

September 2009 sees the launch of Brain Damage Films, a brand new DVD label that's dedicated to bringing a host of new indie horror movies to DVD at a budget price. Clearly targeted at the dedicated horror fan, the label is ceratinly taking a few chances with its first releases, amongst which are a few titles that few have been prepared to put in a good word for, but it's nice to be given the chance to make our own judgement.
