Back in 2014 first-time director Joe Begos exploded on the horror scene with Almost Human, an alien abduction movie drenched in 80s flair. Now he’s back with his second feature, Supernatural Forces aka The Mind’s Eye, another film that’s not afraid to wear its love of 80s horror on its sleeve. In this case referencing the work of David Cronenberg and Brian De Palma, and films like the Scanners franchise, Carrie and the classic telekinetic fear flick The Fury.
Confession time: I’m not the biggest fan of David Cronenberg’s Scanners. If not for exploding head scene and the final battle between Revok and Vale, the film would be a very dull futuristic thriller.

Mark Fisher disappeared from home in a blinding blue light flash. His friend Seth Hampton was the last person to see him alive. Two years later, a series of atrocious, grisly murders leads Seth to believe that Mark has somehow returned, but changed into something different, strange… not of this world. Mark has indeed become a humanoid alien receptacle for evil – and the last place you should look is in his cellar.
There are times when I sit down to watch a movie that I need to review in which I’m filled with dread, typically because the particular style of film or the (sub) genre doesn’t appeal – found-footage movies being my particular bane. Now I know...

Almost Human (2013)
Written by: Joe Begos
Directed by: Joe Begos
Cast: Graham Skipper (Seth), Joe Ethier (Mark), Vanessa Leigh (Jen), Susan T. Travers (Becky), Anthony Amaral III (Clyde Dutton), Michael A. LoCicero (Barry), Jami Tennille (Tracy), Mark O’Leary (Dale)
Just like anything else, I’d like to the think that the more I use my skills as a horror movie aficionado, the sharper they become. I would argue with anyone that it is a legitimate skill set that from personal experience, has taken years to develop. So, I said all that to say this. Sometimes, I can look over all the imperfections a film has, and clearly see the intent that they were going for. That in itself can define most of our beloved cinema that some would say was schlock from the 1970’s and 80’s. Remember “The Incredible Melting Man”? I don...

Review by Scott Clark of Cinehouse
The main problem with Almost Human is that its poster is almost cooler and more grabbing than the film itself. The feel of the film exudes a kind of B-movie charm and cult excellence that has crept its way into vogue over the past decade, thanks to a general boredom with the shiny glaze Hollywood seems to trail over any horror/sci-fi project it touches. Ignore the professional allure of the marketing, scrape away any preconceived notions and there’s still enjoyment to be had.
Joe Begos and his team are obviously passionate about their project and the genre it occupies, their love gushes, as do the 70’s references until Almost Human feels like a high school ode to the work of John Carpenter.
