I've had artist Adam Gorham pump these pages out at a lightning pace. His vivid imagery and understanding of graphic story telling is incredible.<br /><br />You can look for the premiere of the new Graphic Novel at this year's Fan Expo where we'll be selling a combination of DVD / Graphic Novel for only $5.00 - And you can get it signed by Adam or myself.<br /><br />Also look for it in the coming months in the itunes store.

To successfully navigate this twisted maze means to inherit the bloodsucker's entire fortune; to lose means to become the next meal for the powerful supernatural predator, transformed into a vampire, and dropped back in the maze to torment the next round of victims. The only clues that could lead them out of their dire predicament are a series of words written on the floor of the maze and the unintelligible ravings of a madman who had survived the previous game. When the group discovers an outside event that leaves each of them wanting the others dead, the situation quickly deteriorates as they attempt to figure out who they should fear most - the vampires, or each other<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33663814-7936551268262712141?l=fivestrangers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Five Strangers Films Ltdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06430668595535963519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33663814.post-57985857702267418842009-03-31T06:39:00.001-07:002009-03-31T06:39:58.313-07:00REVIEW<br />A review by Denpasar on Vampire Conspiracy<br />Mar 23, 2009<br /><br />Author's product rating: 5 Stars<br /><br />Advantages: Scary Movie<br />Disadvantages: None<br /><br />Recommend to potential buyers: yes<br /><br />Full review<br /><br />Vampire Conspiracy<br />A well thought out and written plotline carries this film, I was intrigued by the storyline and found myself either liking or hating the characters, particularly the scumbag lawyer. If you like intelligent storylines and dialog driven horror with just enough blood and beasties thrown into the mix, this one will fit the bill.<br /><br />Five strangers are abducted by a 250 year-old vampire, and placed into a deadly game of wits and endurance. Should they make it through the maze alive, they will receive the vampire's entire fortune - riches beyond their wildest dreams. Should they fail, they become victims to his hunger and are placed back in the game. The only clues to their salvation are the seven words scrawled on the floor throughout the maze and an insane man who was a participant in the last game. Two guys are frantically trying to find their way out of what appears to be some strange house, one of them admits to having banged a 14 year old, solidifying his berth as the first victim (c’mon you know you want him to get it). Ghouls break in the room and ruin the moment and Mr. Pedophile is quickly dispatched providing a means for his buddy to escape. Not too long after escaping he runs into what looks like a stereotypical old-school vampire.<br /><br />* * *<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33663814-5798585770226741884?l=fivestrangers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Five Strangers Films Ltdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06430668595535963519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33663814.post-79110301945868077652009-03-20T11:08:00.000-07:002009-03-20T11:10:12.443-07:000209 - Commercial Airs on the Superbowl / Plays on Dr. Phil / Creates a North American controversy<br /><br />10/08 - WHAT MAKES A MAN wins a BRONZE award at My Hero Fest<br /><br />0808 - FIVE STRANGERS FILMS invited to a party at the Playboy Mansion<br /><br />0708 - THE VAMPIRE CONSPIRACY places in the top 10 of distributor international sales<br /><br />0508 - THE VAMPIRE CONSPIRACY reaches 672 on imdb.com<br /><br />0408 - ATTACK OF THE MUTANT GERMS wins a PLATINUM award at Worldfest Houston<br /><br />0408 - OPERATION: ALLERGIES wins a GOLD award at Worldfest Houston<br /><br />0708 - THE VAMPIRE CONSPIRACY picked up for worldwide distribution by Brain Damage Films / Maxim Media International<br /><br />0407 - WHAT MAKES A MAN wins a PLATINUM award at Worldfest Houston<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33663814-7911030194586807765?l=fivestrangers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Five Strangers Films Ltdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06430668595535963519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33663814.post-48123094383856349462007-05-28T13:20:00.000-07:002007-05-28T13:22:01.720-07:00After taking the Vampire Conspiracy to the Cannes Market, Brain Damage Films have declared that the street date for the film will be October 2nd 2007.
