Stars: Bruce Davison, Elizabeth Roberts, Denise Crosby, Arman Darbo, Chloe Perrin | Written by Micah Gallo, Bryan Dick, Jason Alvino | Directed by Micah Gallo
Based on a story by Micah Gallo, who also directs and co-writes the screenplay here alongside Bryan Dick and Jason Alvino, Itsy Bitsy is Gallo’s feature debut, having only worked previously on shorts, as well as a part of visual effects teams on dozens of movies, from the Hatchet trilogy to The Innkeepers.
Now, I’m a fan of the ole “creature feature” but it’s fair to say films in this specific sub-genre are few and far between these days. Spiders are always a good choice for a creature feature horror film, because spiders, after-all, are a widely spread fear around the world. They have eight legs, they can walk on your ceilings, and you never know where the buggers are lurking, so… that’s some solid horror right there,...

A creepy rendition of a familiar nursery rhyme, Itsy Bitsy (co-written by Daily Dead contributor Jason Alvino) made its world premiere at Popcorn Frights Film Festival in Fort Lauderdale, giving attendees with arachnophobia (myself included) enough nightmare fuel to keep them awake for days on end. While at Popcorn Frights, Daily Dead had the pleasure of speaking with director/co-writer Micah Gallo about the multi-year journey to getting Itsy Bitsy made, using as many practical effects as possible to bring the film's big spider to life, and working with a talented cast that includes Elizabeth Roberts, Denise Crosby, and Bruce Davison.

If you have arachnophobia, you might need to take a deep pull from an inhaler after watching the trailer for Itsy Bitsy, an upcoming horror film in which a single mother and her children are stalked by a spider that's large enough to haunt your dreams for life, but still compact enough to fit in your bathtub or under your bed... As impressive as the trailer for Itsy Bitsy is, the film still needs help from horror fans to make it across the cinematic finish line in post-production, and director Micah Gallo has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help bring his creature feature to the big screen.

"You can't stop what's coming. Death always wins." Ahead of its release this summer, The Dark Tower (based on the epic fantasy book series by Stephen King) is teased in its first full-length trailer.
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, The Dark Tower stars Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Claudia Kim, Franz Kranz, Abbey Lee, and Jackie Earle Haley. Sony has scheduled the film for an August 4th theatrical release.
You can view the official trailer and stills below, as well as two screenshots from the trailer (taken by Daily Dead contributor Jason Alvino) that feature references to Stephen King's It and The Shining. A rundown Pennywise attraction is shown in what appears to be the decimated Mid-World, while a photo of the Overlook Hotel sits atop the table in a therapist's office in Jake Chambers' world (aka our own world).

If you haven't seen Paul Solet's Grace yet, you really do owe it to yourself to check it out. It's a solid genre offering that's not only different, but it's also a really good movie and it's available on DVD and Blu-ray now. Today our friends at Icons of Fright have posted the original short (starring Liza Weil and Brian Austin Green) that inspired the feature length Grace. But that's not all; they've posted two versions of the short, one with audio commentary from writer/director Paul Solet and FX artist Jason Alvino and one without. Check 'em both out below. And as an added bonus, after you've watch the shorts, head on over to Icons to read their article, 'In Defense of Giallo'...

With Paul Solet's Grace now officially available everywhere on DVD and Blu-Ray, fans are probably curious to see the infamous short film that initially garnered the interest of Ariescope Pictures and eventually led to the feature length version. Well, thanks to Icons Of Fright , not only can you watch the original 6 minute short for Grace below, but directly underneath that you can also check out a version with commentary by writer/director Paul Solet and FX artist Jason Alvino. Also of note, Liza Weil and Brian Austin Green starred in the original short version. Watch it below! Below is a 5 minute making-of Epk for the Grace short by Adam Barnick, who also produced the bonus features on the full length DVD and Blu-Ray:...

One of the only complaints we had with the latest DVD and Blu-ray release of Grace (review here) was that the original six-minute short film that started it all was nowhere to be found in either package (unless of course you went and got the Best Buy exclusive). Talk about a glaring omission. Thankfully the horror community is small yet strong, and we know how to right some wrongs!
Our brothers in harm over at Icons of Fright have not only put up the original short, but they've even gone the extra mile and had director Paul Solet and FX artist (and Icons scribe) Jason Alvino record a commentary track for it. That's two versions of the flick for us all to dig on! Talk about bad ass! Hit up the above link for some history and dig on both versions below.
