"This is your life! Right here, right now!" The famed art house cinema in New York called Metrograph has introduced a new screening series of movies called 25Y2K. They're borrowing inspiration from the brilliant Crtierion Channel collections, featuring a thematic selection of iconic movies to feature in a special package. This time they're looking back at Y2K, and the "Millennium Bug", and how it affected cinema. "A computer glitch that was supposed to drown the world in darkness—[was] on everyone's lips, the air thick with the anticipation of apocalypse. Did that anxiety impress itself on some of the finest films?" Definitely. They're showing classics like Fight Club, Pi, The Truman Show, American Psycho, Strange Days, Audition, Being John Malkovich, Vanilla Sky, American Beauty, and others. To promote the series, Metrograph cut together a quick trailer with Fatboy Slim's "Right Here, Right Now" which samples a line from the film Strange Days.

Saturday Morning Mystery, dir. Spencer Parsons (Amazon | Itunes) Saturday Morning Mystery is one of the best, most original horror movies in recent memory. The film cashes in on both the modern obsession with paranormal investigating as well as on that classic Saturday morning cartoon, Scooby-Doo. But, this ain’t no kiddie film! Four hipsters and their (non-talking) dog look to solve a good ghost mystery and immediately find themselves way in over their heads. Gory and outrageous in more ways than one, what’s most impressive about this flick is how smart,...

Do you remember in 1999 all the fear about the so-called Year 2000 problem also referred to as Y2K, the Y2K bug, or the Millennium bug? When the computer bug hit the whole world would be in chaos due to a computer programing malfunction? I do and The Millennium Bug dives into the theory and will provide us with in-breed hillbillies, a giant monster and an alien bug. If you’re sick and tired of CGI and have been waiting for a creature feature your time is here with The Millennium Bug. The film has played at several film festivals and has won several awards. No information is available for a DVD or VOD release date at this time.

I was excited to see The Millennium Bug. Not only for the sake of supporting old school use of miniatures and model sets, but also the fact they use nothing but practical FX, had a low budget, and were able to come up with what they did. And these days completing a project and getting it out, is just about as hard as financing it, it seems. And these guys know that for sure. Considering this project took them 3 years to complete…post production!! They wrapped shooting in 2008. The Millennium Bug shows heart, in filmmaking and horror.

I’ve been a fan of Shriekfest ever since I moved to Los Angeles. Not only because of how down-to-earth and cool the founder of it is, Denise Gossett, but because I was a newbie to La, and with all my geekdom was taken in by other, fellow, horror film geeks not unlike myself. Those who share a passion for not just film, but specifically horror. And not just share a passion for them, but make them.
Filmmakers who strive to achieve a goal, of not just completing a horror film, but having it seen, and quite possibly awarded and distributed (which is an award in itself). Shriekfest has been around for quite some time, along with other local horror film festivals, but it stands out of from the rest for myself for it continuity to achieve a better year than the one before. And in most cases, it succeeds.

Y2K hysteria and vicious hillbillies. They go together almost as well as peanut butter and jelly, right? At least that's what director Kenneth Cran is hoping with his latest flick, The Millennium Bug, slated to screen during the 2011 Shriekfest Film Festival in Los Angeles on Friday, September 30th at 10:15 pm at Raleigh Studios (5300 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood).
In The Millennium Bug the normal, "everyday" Haskin family must seek refuge from Y2K hysteria in the isolated forests of the Sierra Diablos Mountains, only to have both madness and terror find them hiding there. Abducted by the vicious Crawford hillbilly clan, the Haskins fight for survival, but neither they nor their abductors can comprehend the monstrous nightmare about to erupt from the bowels of the earth.

Remember all that Y2K hysteria back in 1999? And how it all turned out to be a big nothing when the calendar hit 2000? Well, wouldn’t have been a lot cooler if something had happened? Like the world suddenly got run over by murderous hillbillies and giant monsters?
That’s sort of the premise of Kenneth Cran’s The Millennium Bug. A nice family takes refuge in the Sierra Diablos Mountains on the eve of Y2K, thinking they’ll ride out whatever happens. But, what they don’t count on is being kidnapped by backwoods psychopaths and chased by giant creatures with really, really big teeth.
The Millennium Bug has screened at about a dozen horror and genre film festivals so far and will be screening at the 6th annual Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival on Oct. 14 in the Washington, D.C. area. The full fest runs Oct.

The Millennium Bug is any monster movie fans breath of fresh air! A movie with a fun story, crazy characters, a giant monster, with lots of blood, gore and dismemberments, all without the use of CGI. Plus this is an indie film people! I’d put it up against any studio monster movie, period! Godzilla meet The Millennium Bug!
Writer and director Kenneth Cran definitely has an imagination with a much welcomed monster movie for a new generation! The movie follows the Haskins, escaping the Y2K scare as they head into the mountains. They meet up with a crazy, mutated, inbred hillbilly family who are set on brining in new blood to the family to limit the deformities from years of inbreeding. What we get with this family, the Crawfords is grotesque looks with killer instincts and lots of humor, yes this movie has just the right hint of humor in it!

Title: The Millennium Bug Writer-director: Kenneth Cran Starring: John Charles Meyer, Jessica Simmons, Christine Haeberman, Jon Briddell, Ken McFarlane, Ginger Pullman A world premiere presentation at the just underway Dances With Films festival, ‘The Millennium Bug’ boasts a simple, streamlined concept, and features poster art that strongly echoes Sam Raimi’s ‘The Evil Dead’, so one could be forgiven for prematurely celebrating the birth into the genre world of a groovy, gory and blissfully self-aware new creature feature. Unfortunately, writer-director Kenneth Cran’s film, while admirably incorporating some low-tech elements, never has any fun with its zonkers conceit, and even touches let alone rises above the sum of its cliched parts.

When it comes to cinema, I’m a pretty simple guy. You throw some creatures, a little blood, and a whole lot of cheese at the screen and I’m going to eat it up with a splintery wooden spoon. Doesn’t matter how campy your production might be; as long as all of the aforementioned elements are present and accounted for, chances are you won’t get complaint one out of me. Director Kenneth Cran’s upcoming backwoods monster flick “The Millennium Bug” has all of these bases cover — and then some. Here’s a breakdown of the plot: It’s December 31st, 1999, and the world anxiously awaits the year 2000. Hoping to escape the Y2K computer glitch known as the “millennium bug,” Byron Haskin takes his new wife and teenage daughter camping in the isolated Sierra Diablos mountains. But madness finds them in the form of the Crawford clan,...
