Thanks for taking the time to talk with us. What was your experience with anthology horror movies growing up?
Bryan Ortiz: Anthology based work has always had a special place in my heart. I grew up with classic shows like Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Tales from the Crypt. I also grew up watching a lot of anthology films like Tales that Witness Madness, Tales of Terror, Trick or Treat, The Signal, and Fears of the Dark, to name a few.

Earlier this month the psychological horror anthology Sanitarium premiered during the Miami International Film Festival.
Directed by Bryan Ramirez, Kerry Valderrama and Bryan Ortiz, Sanitarium consists of three segments based on the particular patients of a mental institution that's being overseen by the sinister Dr. Stenson (Malcolm McDowell), who acts as the navigator through each chilling story.
With elements from "The Twilight Zone," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Creepshow," and "Tales from the Crypt," Sanitarium explores the different narratives of the insane patients and the tales which led to their crazed states of minds. These accounts reflect hallucinations, imaginary voices and altered realities and include themes of the paranormal, the unexplainable and the mystical.
Sanitarium also stars Robert Englund, John Glover, Lou Diamond Phillips, Lacey Chabert, Chris Mulkey and David Mazouz. Recently Dread Central chatted with the directing trio behind the film for Indie Horror Month, who touch upon what inspired them...

Over the past few years, horror fans have seen a resurgence of two former trends in the genre come back in a very big way: horror returning to television and anthology horror. Just this month alone we were treated to both with the return of The Walking Dead as well as the gory alphabet anthology The ABC’s of Death (which you can hear Andy and I review Here). Later this year we will see V/H/S/2 – formerly S-vhs – arrive in theaters and VOD, but prior to that, The Miami International Film Festival will premiere the next helping of horror shorts in the anthology Sanitarium. Malcolm McDowell leads a cast consisting of Robert Englund, Lacey Chabert, Lou Diamond Phillips, John Glover, and Walter Perez in three psychological stories directed by Kerry Valderama, Bryan Ortiz (both of whom worked on Doctor S Battled the Sex-Crazed Reefer Zombies: The Movie), and Bryan Ramirez.

Malcolm McDowell has had a long and distinguished career spanning nearly 50 years, working with the likes of Stanley Kubrick and Ken Loach, and appearing in movies such as Caligula and 2007′s Halloween. McDowell shows no signs of slowing down, however, with a supporting role on Franklin & Bash and a recurring role on The Mentalist, as well as numerous movies currently filming or in post-production, one of which is the horror anthology Sanitarium. Using a mental hospital as the common thread, the movie is comprised of three different segments, directed by Bryan Ortiz, Bryan Ramirez, and Kerry Valderrama. Joining McDowell onscreen is John Glover, Lacey Chabert, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Robert Englund. The first red-band trailer for the movie has now been released, and can be seen below.

The 16th annual San Antonio Film Festival, which runs June 23-27, is truly a great combination of celebrating local talent and international cinema, screening films produced in Texas to ones produced in Europe, South America and the Middle East.
There’s also a distinct flavor of socially aware fictional narratives and documentaries, including films about Tibetan refugees, migrant workers, the 2008 Presidential election, alcoholism and genocide. But, that’s not to say the fest is a totally serious affair as there’s also several genre films about the World Cup, sheep rustlers, dancers, crooks and other ne’er-do-wells. It looks like a fun mix.
The full lineup of films is below. The way the festival runs is that films screen in blocks in three different theaters. A “block” of films will generally contain a feature or two (feature = film that is 50 mins. or more), plus several shorts. In the lineup I have up,...

Doctor S Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies: The Movie is a hilarious and highly stylistic horror comedy. With a title like that would you expect anything less? It’s a film that has a ton of fun with itself, which is completely contagious to the audience. Writer/ director, Bryan Ortiz, sites Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez as influences, which really comes through in his technique and direction, but combines this with the horror element. Doctor S takes us in to the spirit of the 1950’s with mockingly snappy characterizations and plenty of danger and destruction.

Bryan Ortiz treats his audience to a bewildering array of false starts, adverts, infomercials and 1950's style premieres before the real meat of his extremely ambitious project is offered, he then sets out to satirise and entertain with a bewildering little comic/horror gem that is far better than it perhaps deserves to be. Doctor S Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies: The Movie (phew!) is a lovingly crafted and utterly bizarre homage to the wrong end of drive-in cinema and midnight movies. Shot in black and white and with a rocking surf-guitar soundtrack straight out of The Horror of Party Beach, it's a grindhouse influenced gem of a film with comic moments and sly nods, winks and subtle (and not so subtle) references to the films of the era,...
