Review of “Box”, An Award-Winning Short Horror Film
The winner of some eight film festival awards, receiver of four nominations and accumulator of over 65 thousand views on YouTube and counting, “Box” starring Jimmy Dempster is one of the finer thriller short horror films released as of late. It’s experimental, artistic and psychologically thrilling nature denotes it’s Kings of Horror origin, a YouTube channel of some one million subscribers with an interest for independently produced horror. Likely more misunderstood than deserving of a negative rating, the Lee Thongkham written and directed short film “Box” is a magnificent attempt at visual storytelling. Thrillers unfold and impose a clouded understanding onto viewers and they may also incorporate forms of poetic symbolism; “Box” is no exception. With true potential to be written as a feature film someday, this short is worth the 29 minute and 34 second watch.

cat-scratch fever
Chapter 1 The cat-scratch fever was taking its time transforming her into a creature of the night, searching for more than the irony taste of mouse blood to fill the void of her past life. Wandering the empty neighborhoods late at night was something she was getting used to, as was her increasing awareness of the world around her. Being homeless wasn’t a worry anymore; she was perfectly fine finding a small dark place to lay her head.

TVD Characters Ranked
With The award winning 2009-2017 tween vampire drama leaving Netflix this November , I decided it was time for a re-watch/final season watch. While there are massive ups and down for all the characters, this article will showcase the top ten and reasons why. Some emissions may shock you but frankly, Elena doesn’t deserve to be in the top ten anyway.

A Motley Crew
This past Saturday night I was shaken from a lazy night of binge-watching old black and white horror movies on TV by a text from my cousin, Steve. The communication surprised me because we don't really stay in touch. His group text, which also included my sister and his brother, commented on how the appearance of the moon and the clouds that evening reminded him of a similar night nearly forty years ago. One by one, as each of us chimed in with affection towards the memory, my appreciation for Steve's interruption propelled me outside to witness this reminiscent lunar occurrence first-hand.

Classic Phantom of the Opera Costume
In this Halloween during a national pandemic, it is difficult to express how we cannot go out of the house and do our tradition of treat or treating. But, there is nothing wrong with dressing up from what you have available from your wardrobe. This is my first official post on Vocal that I like to share with you.

Carrie (1976)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

The Online Box Office Film Festival announces 2020 winners
ATLANTA, GA. (November 1, 2020) -- The Online Box Office Film Festival (OBO) hosts quarterly contests to give filmmakers another outlet to submit their work and win a number of awards and prizes, including cash. As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, most film festivals were postponed or cancelled, and a number of industry professionals found themselves out of work. During the downtime, The Online Box Office Film Festival was developed as a solution to get industry professionals moving again. The first edition of the festival competition launched on September 27, 2020 and hit the ground running with hundreds of submissions just weeks after its announcement on FilmFreeway and social media. The first edition was themed for horror short films. The festival theme and film genre acceptance will be different for each quarterly edition.
