wpid-img_20151012_174941.jpg

Another film I reviewed earlier this year has made it into the horror challenge. Gutterballs, directed by Ryan Nicholson, has some of the greatest kills in the history of horror cinema. This film is not only a funny and well made eighties throwback; but, it also makes you realize how dangerous a bowling alley can be. Aside from amazing kills, it also has a great soundtrack and brutal gore effects. So check it out and stay deaducated.

I am probably not the first person to tell you that Ryan Nicholson and Plotdigger Films are the real deal. This guy has had quite a strong cult following for almost ten years. I have only started viewing his films in the past six months, and I cannot believe what I have been missing. My first experience with his work was his most recent film, Collar (2014). His upcoming release is this year’s Gutterballs 2, and I absolutely cannot wait. Some of you may even just be here to skip to the end to view that trailer, and that is fine; but, I do have a few things to say about the first film. Remember, I am trying to find films that many people may not know about. Chances are, if you are reading my blog, you have heard of Nicholson’s work. However, I am sure there are plenty of people out there that do not know his work. No matter how good this guy is, and how big of a fan you are, he is still far from a household name. So this review is for the current fans to relive the original film and get pumped up for the sequel; but, it is mostly to introduce the new viewer to an amazing indie filmmaker. Hopefully, this review will help me achieve my goal by helping the horror fan find new films; while, in turn supporting indie horror filmmakers and getting their work out to a few more people.
