“Welcome to the first of what is a new regular feature where we take a look at the soundtracks from forthcoming movies, along with some of old favourites. First up is Jack Kirby, taking a look at some new soundtracks coming soon… Enjoy!” – Phil
Arnau Bataller’s score to Lovecraft inspired horror sequel La Sombra Prohibida begins as it means to continue; with a furious bombardment of strings, timpani and choral warbling. The music is loud and dynamic with lofty ambitions, presumably to convey the scale of the otherworldly monstrosities in the film. Santiago’s Madness builds more subtly than the Opening Credits, but its crescendo is no less dramatic. Despite some softer moments in tracks such as A Personal Feeling and You’ve Been There Before though, the score is a little too samey throughout its runtime. Its eight minute penultimate track Cthulhu proves to be the most interesting...

Fangoria: First off, give the readers a brief synopsis of The Intervention.
Shannon Hiles: Tom Garret resolves to push aside his troubled past and return to his childhood home, to help intervene in the destructive path of his brother, Mathew. At first, the forceful intervention seems to be making headway, but as the night wears on, what appears to have been an obvious case of alcoholism takes a demonic twist. A dark entity surfaces and methodically turns the group against each other; Tom being the primary target.

Matt Garret has a serious problem. Demons have taken hold of his life and before he can get any better, he’s going to take his whole family down with him!
The Intervention is an ambitious low-budget horror film from first-time director/producer/screenwriter Shannon Hile, who sent along the poster and the exclusive pics seen at the bottom of this page. An actress with credits including The X Files and Monk, she was inspired to do the film in a unique way. “I had been involved in a family member’s intervention, and it was a completely horrific experience,” she tells Fango. “Just awful; I could not imagine what was going on in that person’s head. I felt it would be perfect for a horror film, exploring demons—an addict’s inner demons.”
Hile collaborated on the screenplay with her actor husband Richard Eden, TV’s RoboCop. “We...
