I had the pleasure of viewing Hillbilly Horror Show recently. It is a collection of short films connected by a host. A novel idea. I am a filmmaker myself who creates in short film. The idea of making a compilation while connecting different stories via a host is great!Each short film stands on its own as well made. Together, they form a great viewing experience.I would recommend anyone looking for a well made horror anthology to definitely check this one out. The writing is superb. The directing is inspired. The acting is top notch. The entertainment is endless. This is a film for any movie fan.

This set of short films is punctuated by host segments featuring a couple of good old boys and their smoking hot assistant Lulu. The format reminds me of the old MonsterVision on TNT or Mystery Science Theater 3000 (except with better films!). If you enjoy flipping through the channels late at night to discover new film you've never seen before, you will enjoy this. We're coming up on Halloween, and this is a perfect fit for a laid-back evening of quality short films. Watched on Amazon, and it looks like part of a series, so if the filmmakers release any more of these, I will definitely continue watching.

The DVD box itself is quite the treat if you're into wacky DVD art. Anyway, I watched the DVD of Volume 1 and I was honestly blown away. The hosts are are throwback to Joe Bob Briggs, but much better and the wrap around with the hosts actually has a story-line, which I found refreshing. Love the films, which are all award winning horror shorts. Amazing the quality of films. A few even look like they were made by studios. I highly recommend this title and so far I've seen 4 of the episodes and they each get better and better. I'm looking forward to seeing what else this crew puts out.
... View MoreI grew up with horror hosts as a teen, and this show brings back some great memories! I watched online on Vimeo and wasn't sure what I'd be getting. I was VERY surprised. The hosts are hysterical, and Lulu is absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to see all the volumes (only seen 1 so far), but it's fantastic. You MUST see The Nest! You won't believe the CGI. Amazing for a short film. Franky and the Ant I'd seen before at a film fest, but is is well worth watching again. Doppelgänger and Amused are both very entertaining. Really just a fun, nostalgic show that's well done. If you love indie horror then you have to give this show a look. Every horror fan needs to check out this series.
