The new short from director Joe Badon, The Blood of the Dinosaurs, took me about eighteen minutes to watch. It may take a lifetime to figure out just what I watched.
Beginning with a recreation of the end of the Age of Reptiles staged with plastic dinosaurs, fireworks and exceptionally primitive animation, Badon and co-writer Jason Kruppa have put created a film that has only the most minimal framework of a plot. And that is used more to hang collages of bizarre footage and imagery on rather than tell a narrative story.
What narrative we do get is framed a the Christmas edition of “The Uncle Bobbo Show”, a children’s show airing on public access TV. Uncle Bobbo gives off the vibes of Dexter with severe brain damage.

Low budget police drama meets camp biblical nonsense – demons and the horsemen of the apocalypse. To me The Demonologist sounds like a lot of fun (albeit the title sounds like a failed course from a failing university).
I have a soft spot for under paid, over worked (fictional) professional monster hunters. Be they John Constantine (in the comics), Giles from Buffy or Harry Dresden (in the books). I love these grumpy, surly individuals that ultimately end up doing the right thing when the stakes are stacked high enough against them.
Which takes us nicely into talking about The Demonologist. This is very much an origin story. Our “Demonologist” starts out as just another cliched,...

Also known as Shark Island, a more generic title that would undoubtedly failed to sell more copies than the films other more exploitative moniker, Zombie Shark; this film stars former Degrassi: The Next Generation actress Cassie Steele as Amber, a tough as nails bartender who goes on a trip to a quite coastal island with her sister and a few friends, and runs straight into an army of sharks intent on eating anything and everything that get in their way. Only these are no ordinary sharks, oh no…
You see the almost-deseted island Amber and her friends are partying on also happens to home to a once-abandoned army facility that now houses a scientist, Dr.
