After a couple of years in the wilderness, 2013 film House of Bad (the on screen title my review disc still carried) has been dusted off and given a new coat of proverbial paint before getting a UK DVD release, under the supermarket-friendly title of Sinister House - with bog-standard “spooky house” cover art to boot!
The film tells the story of three sisters, yearning to break free from their sordid pasts, who unite for a simple plan: steal enough drugs to set them up for a new life. But when the eldest sister Teig decides they’re going to hide out in their old, abandoned family house, its painful memories quickly become too real to fight off… The sisters are caught in...

Great news for the indie horror scene. The haunting new flick House of Bad has completely sold out on Amazon! Take that, big studios and your 14 million leftover copies of the Total Recall remake!
From the Press Release
House of Bad, the award-winning 2013 independent horror film and fan-site darling, blistered anticipated sales yesterday, selling Amazon.com out of stock, taking the internet giant by surprise. After a month of being available as a pre-order, the title suddenly became unavailable on the day of its official release.
The turn of events represents a new twist to the typical story of the independent film scene, where directors and filmmakers struggle to find distribution and access to robust sales outlets. Without such avenues cinematic efforts can be lost in the shuffle, a reality for low-budget genre films and true gems like House of Bad.
"It's awesome and frustrating at the same time," says executive producer Scott Frazelle.

Fallen is the story of beloved hero Ephraim (Brian Kavanaugh), who abandons the city he swore to protect.

A message from Dan Marcus: Fallen is my love letter to superheroes. I wanted to give something back to a modern mythology that has given me so much in return.
