First of all I´d like to thank Andrea Ricca for contacting me. This five minute short film tells the story of mysterious and aggressive creatures who come from space to earth. The Furfangs is shot, edited, written and directed by Andrea Ricca who also plays the hero. There is no dialogue and above all there is never a dull moment as our hero fights the vicious creatures. No nudity or gore in this one, The creatures are computer gendered, the design reminded me of The Critters. The camera work, editing and soundtrack is all good.
This review is based upon a online source and The Furfangs can be viewed here .
Rating: 5½ out of 7. The Furfangs is a excellent and a very entertaining little short film made on a zero budget and Andrea Ricca keeps impressing me with his creativity and talent.

First of all I´d like to thank Andrea Ricca for contacting me. Spider Danger is shot, edited, written and directed by Andrea Ricca, he also did the computered gendered fx and plays the main character in this 5 minutes long short. It´s fast and furious from beginning to end and it´s all made on a zero budget. The camera work and editing is good and the soundtrack is very fitting. There are no gore or nudity, the spiders are computer gendered .There is no dialogue but the action speaks for itself.

The sequel to Meat Market picks up more than a year after the events of the first movie with the few survivors, Argenta (Bettina May) , Nemesis (Alison Therriault), and others, struggling for survival against the undead in the ruins of what was once society. In their search for a safe haven they come across what appears to be the last refuge of humanity - a fortified compound run by former motivational speaker Bill Wilhelm, and his cult of heavily armed fanatics. But when Argenta is subjected to indoctrination techniques and her comrades imprisoned, she begins to suspect that deep within the compound, more is going on than a simple attempt to 'rebuild'...that Bill and his followers have more than one use for the living and the undead alike... Meat Market 2 is written and directed by Brian Clement. There are noticeable improvements in camera technique and editing, the acting is pretty bad this time also. The soundtrack is pretty good. There is penty of blood and gore, I notice improvements in regard to the practical gore make-up fx and the make-up fx design of the zombies, which are clearly influenced by the Italian living dead films. There is both female and male nudity and out of the blue we suddenly get a a couple of explicit close up shots of a man masturbating in a shower.
This review is based upon the region all DVD release from Crypt Keeper which is uncut.
Rating: 5 out of 7. Meat Market 2 feels darker and little less campy than the first film even though it retains some of the eccentricity from the first film. We get more zombies, more gore and more action and I like it! Now I´m very interested in seeing Meat Market 3 in which Brian Clement throws away the campiness and goes all out for straight horror..
