Even if you don’t normally watch the films I put up here on a more-or-less weekly basis, this one is a Must-See. It’s a new short film, only recently completed — a supernatural thriller\/action film with superb production values and lots of impact.<\/p>\n

In recent times, not surprisingly, there have been a number of feature-length horror films set in contemporary war hot-spots, especially Iraq and Afghanistan, such as Red Sands<\/em> (US-2009; dir. Alex Turner). But what they do in 90-odd minutes, Road to Moloch<\/em> does in 16 minutes or so, and with considerable force. Whatever you do, if you like horror films (and if you don’t why are you here?), take the time to check it out.<\/p>\n
