Stars: Bill Fellows, Bryan Murray, Cora Fenton, Sinead O’Riordan, Darren Travers | Written by Bernadette Manton | Directed by Jason Figgis

Torment is, essentially, an overwrought drama, with a supernatural bent, about the loss of a child; and sees a mother, Jane, played by Cora Fenton, target and architect as the killer of her child, proceeding to kidnap and interrogate him – all the while seemingly cracking from the pressure of losing her daughter.

Directed by Jason Figgis, who’s career – until this film – has consisted mainly of low-budget exploitation fare like the Grindsploitation series, film has two plot strands: a distraught mother coping with the loss of a child and an apparent child-murderer, trapped underground in a wooden box with only a webcam and a breathing tube being his connection to the outside world. It’s an intriguing idea – following what seems initially to be two unconnected stories, both connected to...

We’re back with a new edition of the Indie Spotlight. Today’s feature covers the latest independent horror news sent our way, including a violent vampire tale, the birth of a new slasher, and much more:

The Ecstasy of Isabel Mann: “….the story of troubled teenager Isabel Mann (Ellen Mullen) who is seduced into an incredibly violent sect of day-walking vampires. Her class mates start to go missing and on the trail of the gruesome murders are two detectives; Witham (Neill Fleming) – who believes her to be the prime suspect and Barrett (Matthew Toman) – who has his doubts. Nothing is quite as it seems for those about her as the disturbed teenager runs amok killing at will in the woodlands by her home; aided by her vampire guides Mirjana (Mirjana Rendulic) and Alejo (Karim Elgendy) who are training her in the art of the kill – with horrifically bloody results for those closest to her.

Here's another vampire flick, but this one is after the hearts of horror fans the world over with a tagline that suggests it'll deliver where most recent vampire forays have failed: "Vampires. Daylight. No Sparkles."

That's right, folks, The Ecstasy of Isabel Mann is a Dublin-based vampire flick that promises to bring the blood and gore. Writer/director Jason Figgis has given us a first look at the production, and if these pics are any indication of what's to come then it's safe to say all you gorehounds out there can put this sucker on your radars.

“It’s the story of a teenage girl who is seduced into an incredibly violent sect of day-walking vampires,” said Figgis. “Her class mates start to go missing and two detectives believe that she is the prime suspect.
