Crimson was a well needed surprise of a vampire flick that I actually enjoyed. These nursing students
like to party. Whether it be downing booze or having a pill popping addiction from hell...it's on! Their
sorority house is fully stocked with liquor to fuel the heated screaming matches they always have with
their old decrepit neighbor who listens to every noise they make except for when they really need him
to help them out during a crazy bloody situation.
Sammi and Rosa are on the run from a lecherous bunch of cult members that all suffer from a disease
that renders them with nice sharp fangs an appetite of a vampire. Sammi is wanted by the police for the
murders of a few cult members with the old stake thru the heart bit but do you think the cops are
going to believe her story? Or believe in vampires at that? So now poor Sammi is labeled a serial killer
in their eyes.
Rachel is the lead hunter and is on the hunt for them determined to change them before they escape
and are never heard from again. As Rosa and Sammi sit in the woods huddled by the fire they talk of
how their lives must change now that they are on the run. Out of nowhere Rachel appears and attacks
Rosa while Sammi barely gets away and passes out alone in the dark. Carla, Jodie, and the others are
drunkenly walking home when they hear someone crying in pain so they follow the sound.
When the girls find her lying in her own blood after the vicious attack from someone or something,
their maternal nurse instincts kick in and they refuse to just leave her there. They have no inkling to
what is about to befall them for taking in this stray. Jody is a trip, while she withdrawals from her pills
she spends most of the time running to the bathroom spilling up her guts. Crimson is 100% worth the
watch!

I had the chance to watch Richard Poche's "Crimson" a few days ago, which is definitely worth
checking out. It's about a group of nursing students that stumble upon a bloodied up girl named
Sammi whom they drag back to their sorority house, only to find that Sammi's on the run from a
vampire cult...which they, subsequently, get caught up in. It's a great story, it's really well acted and
it's cut together very nicely. I thought it could use some nudity and a bit more over-the-top gore,
but...that could just reflect my own personal preferences. In the end, it's a true indie horror and you
should check it out. Here's a link to Poche's site where you can buy yourself a copy. Also, there's a
10-minute special feature of outtakes, which you'll get a good laugh at, if you've ever been on the set
of a low-budget film.
This does, however, give me an opportunity to bring up something that consistently bugs me.
Filmmakers, such as Richard Poche, are out making films like "Crimson" on a shoestring budget,
they're marketing it themselves and, in a lot of cases, distributing it themselves. As far as I'm
concerned, this is what independent film is about. When I see the news, reviews and reports out of
festivals like Sundance, which happens to be going on right now, where they talk about indie-this and
indie-that, Paul Giamatti, Sam Rockwell, blah, blah...Are you really talking about independent films?
In the actual context of term, sure-you're making a film independently of the studio system, but these
"independent films" have big-time funding and most of them have some sort name talent attached.
Compared to most indie horror films, these are big-budget movies with serious names behind them.
Andyhow, that's why I love seeing well made, true indie film like "Crimson" and will always promote
films like it. So, support indie film and pick up a copy of "Crimson", once again, here's the link and if
you've made an indie film that you need to promote, let me know about it...I'm more than happy to
discuss it on the site.
