Here's a great
review of Insatiable
(lead role of Derek)
from Fatally-Yours.com:
". . . all of the
actors give amazing
performances that
really sell the
film. Considering
they had to use just
their movements and
facial expressions
to convey emotion,
they did a
phenomenal job. I
loved everyone’s
performance, to Mike
Lane’s brooding,
obsessed serial
killer, to Zoë
Daelman Chlanda as
the concerned wife
to Raine Brown as
the mysterious woman
with a few tricks up
her sleeve!"

Gore Mutants praises

Yay Sex Gore
Mutants!
Look for GIRLKILLER
on the Shock
Festival DVD set
which will be in
stores February
9th.
"GIRLKILLER is
directed by
Fangoria's own
Michael Gingold and
is
energetic, gory
stuff (they're all
righteously gory
affairs, it has to
be said). A great
surprise in this one
is seeing Ian
McCulloch (ZOMBIE
FLESH EATERS;
CONTAMINATION) pop
us as a detective on
the trail of the
titular murderous
vixen. Though little
more than a
high-octane montage
of dialogue-free
gore scenes, this
looks fabulous in
it's own right and,
again, my heart
bleeds that this
isn't advertising a
genuine film."

“Sporting an impressive cast of indie faves like Mike
Lane, as a serial killer of women with a bloodsucking fetish, Zoe
Daelman Chlanda as his unsuspecting wife and Raine Brown as his
potential next victim, the film is a perfect example of the family that
the New York-area independent horror scene has become, with Perry
dipping into the pool of talent he met on another noteworthy director’s
shoot.”

PART I excerpt:
“. . . with Susie Adriensen, Terry
M. West, Josh Nelson, Mike Lane, Brian Juergens and Michael Gingold
added to the mix, it was like a party being shot everyday. It was almost
too much fun making that one."
PART II excerpt:
"Speaking of actors, who are your
rep company, and how did they find their way to the Alan Rowe Kelly
universe?
KELLY: I pinch myself when I
realize the pool of talent that surrounds me and actually “want” to work
with me.
My main core of actors are Jerry
Murdock, Katherine O’Sullivan and Zoe Daelman Chlanda, who started out
with me 10 years ago on BURY. From there came Mike Lane, Terry M. West,
Susan Adriensen . . . There is so much talent here and they’re always up
for a challenge. I always write characters with certain actors in mind
because they are so versatile and want to do something different every
time. That’s the New York actor for you!"
"But I’ll tell you my secret,
Sean. I see no reason to work with someone I don’t like..."
"I only work with folks I consider
professional, respectful, fun and full of talent."
“I just completed my horror
anthology GALLERY OF FEAR with Chicago horror filmmaker Anthony G.
Sumner...I wrote and directed three segments, CRITIC’S CHOICE with
Debbie Rochon, DOWN THE DRAIN with Jerry Murdock, Raine Brown and Mike
Lane.”

"All in all, "Insatiable" is a solid and

"... I really enjoyed the subtlety of
it. This is one that gets better and better with repeated viewings.”
"'Insatiable' is currently making the
festival rounds, so if it's playing at a horror fest near you, you might
want to get a ticket … or two so you can watch it again!"
4/10/09 – Insatiable director Scott W. Perry has some kind
words about me in his interview with Staugnews:
Casting the film was fun. I met Mike
Lane and Zoe Daelman Chlanda on the set of Alan Rowe Kelly’s film “The
Blood Shed” and was impressed by their performances. When it came time
to get “Insatiable” together, they agreed to do the roles. I met Raine
Brown while asking for an interview for my Colonel’s Crypt website and
she loved the script. For acting without using any dialogue, they had to
rely on their emotions and I felt all three did a phenomenal job.
Read the whole interview
HERE.
4/9/09 – Alan Rowe Kelly, director of The Blood Shed (supporting
role of Hubcap Bullion) and Down the Drain (supporting role of Principal
Royce), in an interview with Horror Society says:
"I realized that everything occurring on
set of THE BLOOD SHED was a reaffirmation that I made the right decision
to become a filmmaker. Never was there a film set so fun, so free of ego
and temperament, and yet so very serious and creative a collaborative.
THE BLOOD SHED was never ‘MY’ film. It became everyone’s film involved –
from the wonderfully talented actors, music composer, editor, and
producers, make up artists, art director and cinematographer. We kept
saying amongst ourselves - “this shouldn’t be this fun…something is
wrong!” LOL! It was one the best film experiences ever and that will
last me all my days."
Plus, to top it off, we have the
greatest range of horror indie notables starring in GALLERY OF FEAR like
Terry M. West, Jerry Murdock, Zoë Daelman Chlanda, Katherine O’Sullivan,
Raine Brown, Robert Norman, Benzy, Debbie DeVerde, Susan Adriensen,
Joshua Nelson, Terry Shane, Don Money, Sandra Schaller, Mike Lane, and,
hell yeah, I’m in it too!”

“. . . the reprehensible constitution of THE BLOOD SHED will
have you rolling in the aisles - albeit dirty, sticky ones
where the three second rule certainly wouldn’t apply.
The gene pool of this comedic cult horror flick may
be tainted but the talent pool certainly isn’t.
Kelly’s crew knows the devil is in the details and it’s a
concept that comes through laughingly loud and clear in
sublime performances and the stomping ground they created
for the rollicking, cantankerous Bullions.”

An excerpt is below:
“With boobs from the very first moment
and tasteless humor, we knew it was gonna rule. From the scene where one
of the many killers cuts off a dude’s hand so he can more easily use his
arm to fist this nearly-dead, blood-covered chick to the Jesus ass
raping a hot blonde scene to the hot threeway with a supersexy lesbian
vampire to the rapist ventriloquist dummy who loves eating pussy, we
were pleased as fucking punch.”

The Blood Shed (principal
role of Hubcap Bullion). Excerpts are below. Read the whole review
here.
“. . . his [Alan Rowe Kelly’s]
script’s satirical bent and outrageousness pairs perfectly with a great
cast who attack their roles with aplomb.”
“Let’s just say
you’ve never met a family quite like them – this is possibly the
winningest cast of redneck psychos to populate this type of film . . .”
“. . . one of
the most f*cked-up birthday parties ever committed to film.:
“. . . this is
a movie that balances a great tone with top notch acting and stylish
direction.”
“If you’re
looking for an offbeat, off-the-beaten track way to spend an evening
then you owe it to yourself to pick-up a copy of The Blood Shed.
I know I can’t wait to see what Kelly can come up with next and, after
seeing this, perhaps you won’t be able to either.”

The Blood Shed are below. Read the whole review

“The Blood Shed is a surprisingly good and twisted
throwback to the expoitation/grindhouse genre.”
“. . . the Bullion clan is one of the most sick and
twisted families that I’ve seen in the horror genre . . .”
“Gorehounds won’t be disappointed here.”
“They [the actors] had good chemistry with each
other and looked like they were having a good time making the film.”
“The Blood Shed is a shockingly demented horror film
that will make you think twice before messing with the Bullion family.”

The Blood Shed (supporting role of Hubcap Bullion) is available NOW:
“I have added the great talents of Joshua Nelson,
Terry M. West, Mike Lane, Susie Adriensen, Don Money, Robert Norman,
Sandra Schaller and Benzy to my acting roster! I have to admit I have
been extremely fortunate in the acting department as far as the talent I
have been able to assemble. They give their all, believe in my projects
and are pretty fearless in the chances they take once the camera rolls.
I think they trust me enough to know that I would never let anything
less than their best takes appear on screen. We’ve really become quite
a close-knit family. That’s the best reward.”

are below:
“However, what
separates “The Blood
Shed” from the
half-past a dozen
other movies that
have tried the
over-the-top horror
comedy routine is
the real talent
behind, and in front
of, the camera.”
“A film like this
can and will often
exhaust it's
audience once the
novelty of the humor
and the camp wears
off, but because the
writing is clever,
the direction
efficient, and the
acting excellent it
never wears you
down.”
“There's plenty of
scenery chewing,
“camp-it-up” moments
available for the
actors in this film,
but they also know
how to hold back
just enough to make
their performances
funny, demented but
never annoying.”
“. . . a solidly
twisted, gory,
retarded good
time.”

Read and interview
with
The Blood Shed’s
(supporting role of

writer/director
Alan Rowe Kelly
at
http://www.pretty-scary.net/article1172.html
Here is an excerpt:
“Plus with the new
additions of Joshua
Nelson, Susie, Mike
Lane, Terry M. West
and Sandra Schaller
from THE BLOOD SHED,
I feel that future
films with all of
these actors in the
right roles can
develop into a very
popular acting
troupe of horror
actors – much like
the fabulous B icons
of the 50’s, 60’s
and 70’s that
dominated most of
those great Roger
Corman and Curtis
Harrington classics.
These directors
always stuck with
the same troupe of
talent and never had
them play the same
roles twice. Makeup,
hair and wardrobe
change makes for a
complete
transformation in
any great actor and
they’re always happy
to be given the
opportunity to slip
into another
person’s skin. I’m
simply thinking
ahead and
surrounding myself
with great talent
(who also make me
look better too!)
LOL! I ain’t no
fool!”

liked my performance
in

“The family
personally annoyed
me minus one of the
brothers, Hubcap,
who made me laugh
quite a bit with his

ask how is his

funny? Guess you'll
have to see
yourself, just know
that he's not your
typical moron.”

The Blood Shed’s
writer/director
Alan Rowe Kelly
is interviewed by
Rogue Cinema. Here
are some excerpts:
Who was involved in
the casting for the
film? The people who
were cast to play
the inbred,
cannibalistic
Bullion family were
just incredible.
Where'd you find
these people?
I do all the casting
for my films – since
I write my own
screenplays, I
already have my
ideas for the look
and physicality of
my characters.
It’s vitally
important for me to
be sure that every
character is filled
by actors who not
only gives me what
is written in the
script, but also has
the sense and drive
to take that
character into their
own world and make
them their own.
I want to work with
actors who
contribute to their
role – not just
spout out dialogue
and worry if they
look good. I don’t
write about ‘pretty
people’.
My actors have to be
comfortable enough
in their own skin
and secure enough in
their own abilities
to trust my
instincts once I
take them into the
editing room. That’s
why I work with the
same family of
actors such as Jerry
Murdock, Zoë Daelman
Chlanda, Katherine
O’Sullivan, Robert
Norman, Joshua
Nelson, Susan
Adriensen, Mike
Lane, Don Money and
Terry West. They are
actors - and damn
good ones!
You've got several
films that have
either been
completed or are in
production since The
Blood Shed. Tell us
about those films,
when they'll be all
be released and what
we can look forward
to in them.
I’m presently
immersed in writing
THE HOLLOWS, an
eerie 6-part web
series that revolves
around a haunted
area of Indian
burial grounds and
ancient folklore. We
plan to commence
shooting in March
2008 and will spread
the episodes out
thorough 2008.

Pulp Movies raves
about
The Blood Shed
(supporting role of
Hubcap Bullion).
Click
here to read the
review. Excerpts
are below:
“This approach works
surprisingly well,
due in no small part
to the exceptionally
high standard of the
acting. Each of the
five of the main
characters . . . has
a distinct
personality and the
cast do a great job
of bringing these
personalities to the
fore and ensuring
that none of the
characters ever
descends into
becoming an
homogenized serial
killer.
“. . . they exert a
morbid fascination
that keeps you
watching.”
“But what really
makes the film stand
out us its unique
mixture of horror
and slapstick, which
achieves a genuinely
disturbing effect
that will stay with
you for quite some
time.”

DVD Talk.com gave
The Blood Shed
(supporting role of
Hubcap Bullion) a
great review. Read
it at
http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review.php?ID=31001
Here are some
snippets:
“The other actors do
an excellent job
with the material
including Terry West
as Papa, Susan
Adriensen as Sno
Cakes, Mike Lane as
Hubcap, and Joshua
Nelson as
Butternut”
“. . . this is
memorable, manic
stuff. It doesn't
deserve to be
scoffed it. Indeed,
this is the kind of
film that needs to
be celebrated - and
savored.
“A brilliant bumpkin
satire . . .”
“This eager
exploitation
experiment is a joy
to behold.”
“It's riotously
inventive, strangely
satisfying, and
completely out of
its gourd.”
“. . . a heaping
helping of
quirk-filled
fabulousness, a
movie with a
surprise around
every corner, and a
corpse in every
closet.”
“. . . reinvigorates
your faith in
underground
creativity.”
“. . . massively
entertaining. This
is one family outing
that retains its
delightful
dysfunction all the
way through.”
-Blood Type Online
also gives The Blood
Shed a positive
review at
http://www.bloodtypeonline.com/b65.htm:
“The actors all do a
great job in their
roles, and are
clearly having a
blast. This
translates into
their performances
and makes for a
really fun movie
watching
experience.”

review

Excerpts are below:
The story and events
are strange enough,
but what really made
this movie awesome
was the acting. Oh
my god, everyone,
especially the
people who played
the Bullion family,
just went WAY over
the top with their
roles, and you could
tell they were
having an absolute
blast doing it.
.
. . if you love
movies that are
bizarre,
surrealistic and
insanely fun, then

film. It's a ride
you won't soon

The Colonel’s Crypt
has reviewed
The Blood Shed
(supporting role of
Hubcap Bullion).
Here’s an excerpt:
The performances
are what make the
film . . . Joshua
Nelson and Mike Lane
as brothers
Butternut and Hubcap
played off each
other very well in
their different
styles. Nelson is
the more abrasive of
the two, showing his
anger towards the
victims if need be,
while Lane has a low
key, subdued
performance that
balances out the
rest of the family
perfectly

excerpt:
The acting in The
Blood Shed also
deserves high marks
with every last role
in the film done
without net or
restrictions. It
almost feels like we
are watching inmates
at an insane asylum

Rowe Kelly lets the
performers find
themselves and
rarely if ever they
are reigned in.

Here’s an excerpt
from a review of
The Blood Shed
(supporting role of
Hubcap Bullion) by
Horror Review:
The acting in the
film is the strong
point and we get
some of the best
acting I've ever
seen in an
independent feature
. . . Mike Lane as
Hubcap was not only
who I thought to be
the best character
in the film, but
Lanes performance
was outstanding. How
any actor can act
like he did in this
film takes a lot of
talent. Not only did
he have to act like
a retarded crackhead
with berets in his
hair, but he had to
wear a pig costume
also. How he stayed
in character is
beyond me, because
it takes talent to
play a role like
that.

Fast forward to 41:32. My voice is featured at 47:55. The line is,
"I was not sent here to negotiate," said in a menacing “alien-like” voice.

you? What do you want? We mean you no harm."
I purposefully
said this line as a cheesy hero type would say it (a homage to the old
superhero and monster movies). My other two takes were very panic stricken
and more serious. I guess Nathan liked my cheesy heroic grandstanding
better ;)
