Very happy to announce that my film, DEMON RESURRECTION, is now streaming free on the official ROKU channel! Roku makes an excellent presentation of the film, with a sharp, vivid, detailed picture, a good, strong audio track and minimal advertising. In watching the film again for the first time in quite awhile, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. We did a damn good job on DEMON RESURRECTION, if I say so myself, and I’ll be forever grateful to our brilliant cast and our terrific crew, especially our producers, Frank Cilla and Ed Wheeler. Everyone made an indespensible contribution to the finished film and I’m very proud of what we were able to accomplish. Now all we have to do is get the word out so more people see it and it finally becomes the cult hit it deserves to be, so spread the word and share the link(s) below!

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: A Discussion of Romero's Original Trilogy

Few films have left an impression on me as deep and lasting as George A Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) and its sequel, DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978), so I was delighted when Carey Vickers and Aaron M Poe invited me back to their podcast to discuss those films and the impact they've had on indie filmmaking, the horror genre, and on our culture as a whole. Along the way we touch on films that may have inspired Romero's work, as well as films and television shows that were inspired or influenced by it, including my own film, DEMON RESURRECTION (2008).

THE OMEN Roundtable with DEMON RESURRECTION director William Hopkins

Carey Vickers and Aaron Poe brought Erik K Myers and myself back to A Podcast From Beneath to tackle another 70s horror franchise, THE OMEN.

Our discussion covers the admirable first film, the passable second film, the misguided third film, the hilarious fourth film, and the abysmal 2006 remake. Along the way, we touch on David Seltzer's novelization, lapses in logic in the first film's script, the antichrist's unusual taste in statuary in OMEN III, and Robert Foxworth's hairdo. Enjoy :)

I'm currently in the process of reediting my indie vampire film, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, and I hope to be able to make it available in 2021. Updates on my progress will be posted on this blog and on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/williamfhopkins/ and on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WilliamFHopkins/

A quick update on the Blu-ray/DVD release of the new version of SLEEPLESS NIGHTS...

While producer Frank Cilla has been huddling with producer Howard Nash to iron out any remaining rights issues, I've been hard at work on the new cut of the film, and I'm very pleased with how it's coming along. It definitely looks like this will be the best presentation of the film yet.

Frank and I are still planning an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the Blu-ray/DVD release, which hopefully will go live by mid-June.

If anyone is curious as to why we've decided, after so many years, to revisit SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, a film which did not receive the Palme d'Or at Cannes or the Oscar for Best Picture the year it was released, I would refer you to this review from author Andy Boylan, which was published on his "Taliesin Meets the Vampires" blog some years back:

https://taliesinttlg.blogspot.com/2011/03/sleepless-nights-review.html

The review is not an unqualified rave by any means. Boylan cites many of the film's obvious flaws. But despite the flaws, he still finds much to like. Speaking for Frank and myself, I'd say any film that can garner such a positive review is worth revisiting. And if there's anything we can do to fix its flaws and make it better so it can reach a wider audience, then we're happy to make that effort.

Of course, no matter how much effort we put in, the new, improved version of SLEEPLESS NIGHTS will only become a reality with your help, and Frank and I thank Howard and all of our friends and colleagues for their continued support and encouragement :)

News about SLEEPLESS NIGHTS – REVAMPED: The 2003 indie vampire epic rises again...

I'll soon be launching an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for a new Blu-ray/DVD edition of my first film, the 2003 indie vampire epic, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. 

But rather than just putting out a new disc of the same old film, I'm planning to do a major reedit, utilizing alternate takes and some newly shot footage, while also replacing most of the film's special effects, commissioning a new score, and making a bunch of other changes and improvements. And of course, everything will be uprezzed to HD. I'm hoping I'll be able to raise enough to do a complete overhaul of the film and make the new release the "Ultimate Edition."

So stay tuned, more news to follow soon about the Indiegogo campaign for SLEEPLESS NIGHTS – REVAMPED...

A Demon Resurrection Anniversary...

I didn't want September to slip away without acknowledging a certain anniversary...

Eleven years ago, in September of 2004, in a little house in St. James, Long Island, Frank Cilla, Edward Wheeler and I had the pleasure of working with a talented group of young people in the production of the film, DEMON RESURRECTION.

For the members of the DEMON RESURRECTION cast and crew, I'm sure 2004 must seem like a very long time ago. And, as the years that have passed since have been filled with change and growth as families were raised and careers were pursued, those few days spent working on a little low-budget horror film in a house overlooking Long Island Sound are now probably little more than a distant memory. But distant though it may be, I hope it's also a pleasant memory. It is for me.

I wanted to take the opportunity to offer my sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the film what it is. I also want to thank the reviewers who had such kind words for the film and the many fans who offered their enthusiastic support.

For those interested in taking a trip down memory lane, the complete 2004 DEMON RESURRECTION Production Blog, which includes dozens of candid, behind the scenes photos and videos can be found here:

Praise for DEMON RESURRECTION...

"Demon Resurrection is just plain great. Extremely well constructed, beautifully paced, superbly acted and hugely entertaining." – David Louden, KnifedinVenice.com

"Oozing with dark passion, with a unique personality all its own… a confident and self-assured film, remaining intense and serious despite playing with the most far-fetched edges of the Cthulhu mythos… A full-on return to past zombie craziness with carnage, death, boobies and brutal bloody gore, it's a triumph and a zombie film made for zombie film fans… 8/10." – Steven Shaw, WatchingTheDead.co.uk

"90 minutes of top-notch, old-school, indie-horror awesomeness." – Maynard Morrissey, HorrorMovieDiary.net

"H.P. Lovecraft meets Night of the Living Dead… Recommended." – Kevin Lindenmuth, Buried.com

"Demon Resurrection is a reminder of how great simple indie horror flicks used to be — and still can be… I really felt like I was watching a ghoulish 70s flick on an 80's VHS tape… This is a perfect one to pop in on Halloween night." – Daniel W. Kelly, danielwkelly.com

"A beautiful homage to horror both from the seventies and eighties, filled with nudity, blood, gore, voodoo and zombies… for something with a very small budget, something very good has come out of it… This is indie horror at it's finest." – Dani Carnage, DoctorCarnage.blogspot.co.uk

"It's got some twists that even took a jaded old cinephile like me by surprise… The zombies are some of my favorites of recent years… An ambitious film that shoots for the moon in a way that too many indie productions don't nowadays… it held my attention a lot tighter then many big-budget Hollywood productions have recently." – Bill Adcock, RadiationScarredReviews.com

"A horror film that I truly have fallen in love with… zombies, witchcraft, skeletons, cults, boobs… amazing makeup and special effects… pure candy to the film buff and horror lover… a wild, trippy, B-movie, low-budget, cheesy wonderment…" – Abraham Phillips, aBucketofCorn.com

"A satisfying viewing experience… Feels like an unsung gem of an earlier era of shot-on-video horror." – Eric Cotenas, DVDBeaver.com

"Fast 'n fun amalgamation of The Big Chill… Tombs of the Blind Dead and Rosemary's Baby… contains lots of sputtering blood, the ravenously undead, a slithery birth plus a little bit o' nudity… vibrantly filmed…" – Brian Kirst, HorrorSociety.com

"A properly scary supernatural shocker very much in the tradition of Lucio Fulci's best zombie/demon-movies… backed by a decent cast and nice practical effects work… genre fans with a touch of nostalgia will surely appreciate it." – Mike Haberfelner, [Re]searchMyTrash.com

"Does what it sets out to do and does it well... A great throwback to when horror films were more about being a thrill ride rather than just trying to be mean, dark and depressing." – Daniel Simmonds, therottingzombie.blogspot.uk

"A fun movie… harkens back to the era of 1970's and early 80's horror… honest, entertaining, and worthwhile." – Ben Daniels, Terrorphoria.com

 "A pleasant surprise, with zombies, gore, nudity and witchcraft mixed in a pleasant grue stew that is well acted." – Kevin G. Shinnick, publisher, Scarlet The Film Magazine

"An indie achievement… gives the genre a big high five… a low-budget B-movie that doesn't let up."
– Drew Van Ess, grimmreviewz.blogspot.com

"Plenty of eviscerations, lacerations, and latex creations on hand for the film's target audience… In these end times of undead fatigue, it's a bona-fide treat to see something other than regular ol' grue-slathered humans shambling after their prey. Rubber monster lovers, this is your kinda poison."
– Arron Christensen, horror101withdrac.blogspot.com

"A carefully paced, impressively escalated journey into gory zombie mayhem… [with] some keen forays into worlds of the supernatural and inner-group paranoia." – Stuart Willis, SexGoreMutants.co.uk

"I enjoyed this a lot… well made and entertaining… a nice blend of zombies and occult horror. Highly recommended so make sure to check this one out!" – Jörgen Lundin, Independent Flicks

"A great exploitation flick… Recommended for all gore and zombie fans." – Jocke Andersson, RubberMonsterFetishism.blogspot.com

"An entertaining film which pays open homage to some horror classics… well-acted..." – Keri O'Shea, BrutalAsHell.com

"Low-budget horror fans will be gratified… as disgusting and perverse as you can get… lots of blood, disembowelment… classic exploitation stuff." – Billy Gil, Home Media Magazine

"Demon Resurrection was a fascinating sight for my sore eyes… I enjoyed this one thoroughly!" – Kris Theckston, AngryPrincessSlashes.blogspot.com

"The zombies… have a really unique look to them, a look that adds to the retro-style feel of the film… Practical effects are plentiful and pretty darn well done for an independent film… An above-average film that combines a unique story with a nostalgic feel of a film-making era long gone by." – Tony Schaab, thegorescore.com

"There is a lot to like about… Demon Resurrection. The production values are high… the practical effects work incredibly well, the music is effective and the direction is accomplished… Hopkins makes several wise choices in assembling his movie, and I found myself really enjoying what he brought to the screen… There are zombies and they look great… What the filmmakers have done here is create a feature-length mood piece… a fulfilling near-siege movie that delivers exactly what the back of the DVD promises, Night of the Living Dead meets H.P. Lovecraft… It has so much going for it, we here at Mail Order Zombie have to give the movie four head shots out of five." – Derek M. Koch, MailOrderZombie.com

"Demon Resurrection is a triumph," says Watchingthedead.co.uk

Steven Shaw, resident critic at the horror film review site, Watching The Dead, recently watched DEMON RESURRECTION and found much to praise. Some excerpts:

"Demon Resurrection is a triumph of amateur horror film making. Oozing with dark passion with a self-assured unique personality all of its own one has to applaud what has been achieved. Demon Resurrection is a confident and self-assured film remaining intense and serious despite playing with the most far-fetched edges of the Cthulhu mythos. It has its faults; mainly born from its shoestring budget and perhaps trying too hard, but it's a film that ultimately prevails in many ways because of them. A full on return to the past zombie craziness with carnage, death, boobies and brutal bloody gore, it's a triumph and a zombie film made for zombie film fans, 8/10."

Steven is obviously quite a zombie film fan himself, which makes his incisive critique and the high rating he gives DEMON RESURRECTION all the more gratifying. For myself and everyone who worked on the film, our sincere thanks to Steven for all his kind words.
