Filthy Giveaway - 'Stitches' DVD - Closed

"What's the matter, kid? Don't you like clowns?" Well, I do, and so should you! On April 2nd Dark Sky Films are unleashing Stitches onto Blu-ray and DVD over here in the States. Ross Noble plays Stitches, a washed up kids party clown, who ends up dying in a freak accident and then coming back from the dead to reek sweet vengeance. It's an absolute blast, of that you can be sure, and thanks to Dark Sky Films I have one copy of the DVD to give away to one lucky reader.

Filthy Music Review - 'Primitive Man: Scorn'

Primitive Man – Scorn (2013)

Throatruiner/Mordgrimm 

Review by Jude Felton

Extreme music has always been on the darker side of things, whether it be lyrically, musically or visually, but little will prepare you for the debut offering from Denver, Colorado’s Primitive Man. The album, Scorn, as if the cover artwork isn’t warning enough, will send less hardy folk running, screaming for cover as its musical menace escapes from the speakers.

Filthy Music Review - 'Echtra: Sky Burial'

Echtra – Sky Burial (2013)

Temple of Torturous

Review by Jude Felton

If you have not heard of Echtra, you don’t stand alone as neither had I until very recently. To say that I am glad to have made their acquaintance, through this album, would be a mild understatement. It may not be your usual faire, but much in the same way that Goatcraft offered up something different with the terrific All for Naught album, Echtra also take the listener on a unique experience.

Filthy Review - 'New World'

New World (2013)

Review by Jude Felton

It really is hard to emphasize just how impressive the cinematic output from Korea has been over the last few years. It seems that every year at least one film comes along that shatters the conventions of its particular genre, especially the thriller. I could go on and list a ton of films that you need to see, but chances are that you’ve already caught many of them. Well, get ready to add New World to that list. On the surface it’s just another gangster/cop flick, but there is so much more to it; this movie pulls no punches and is absolutely stunning.
