People magazine reviews 'When Evil Reigns'

Recently, we were surprised to be contacted by Australia's 'People' magazine, who wanted to review the 'When Evil Reigns' for their DVD Review section. While it's short, the piece really demonstrates Dan Lennard's enjoyment of the film. Thanks to Dan and the publishers for supporting the local indie film scene!

To save you the possible embarrassment of having to go into your local newsagents and pick up a copy of the magazine (as you explain, red-faced, that you're buying it for the articles) you can read the review by clicking the image below.

Alix Jackson featured in a film and TV industry night

The Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance is Australia's largest union for performers and artists.
On the 19th of September, the MEAA organised a night to promote the idea that, as a performer/artist, you have to be prepared to 'make your own fun'. Who better to speak, then, than Alix, the main driving force behind 'When Evil Reigns'?

Speaking after established actors and filmmakers, Alix described the highs and lows of no-budget filmmaking, inspiring and amusing both audience co-panelists. It was a terrific night, and we're sure it will be the first of many such talks/workshops for Alix.

Pictures will be provided as soon as they're available.

Two reviews for 'When Evil Reigns'

It's always interesting to see what different people will make of the film. The following two reviews are a good case-in-point, with each reviewer expressing completely different views as to the overall success of the film. If you've watched 'When Evil Reigns', take a look at the reviews and see what points you agree or disagree with. We'd love to know your thoughts.

Digital Retribution interviews Luke and Alix Jackson





One of our favourite websites for movie reviews is Australia's own 'Digital Retribution'. They claim to be the experts when it comes to 'horror', 'exploitation', 'cheese' and 'sleaze' downunder, and - take it from us - they are. Where else can you read a review of the latest horror computer game, followed by one of a genre 'classic' such as 'Zombie Holocaust'?

Interested? Then check out the site. While you're over there, you may notice the banners in the top right-hand corner of the page, advertising some big-name movies and games. According to the webmaster, the banner for 'When Evil Reigns' is right up there in terms of clicks per visitor. Chalk one up for the little guy! Read our complete interview by clicking here.
