Which is More Frightening: A Genetically Modified Bear, a Mabusean Menace, or the Ravages of Time?



I have three new reviews that have recently been posted on Gruesome Magazine's website. With a creature feature, a science fiction/horror hybrid, and a cautionary fable with wicked humor, these diverse films have much to offer potential viewers, no matter their preferred choice of chills.

Unnatural, one of this year's Eight Films to Die For series, is a flawed but fun movie about a huge polar bear that has been the subject of DNA-tweaking experiments. Unfortunately a group of people shooting a high-fashion photo spread is staying in a lodge near the laboratory housing the bear --- and the beast has just escaped.

The Conductor is a short film about a young woman who wakes up to find that she is no longer in control of her body and her free will. Science fiction and horror elements blend well in this effort:

The titular character of The Conductor begins his diabolical symphony. 
Prolific director Patrick Rea offers up a nifty short film about a wife and mother --- Michelle Davidson in a superb performance --- who would love just one a hour day to herself in The Hourglass Figure:

Chelsea (Michelle Davidson) contemplates using a newly discovered timepiece that proves to have unusual powers in The Hourglass Figure.
