Greetings

The feature length horror/comedy splatter film "the janitor" is now in post production and we are hoping to have a release sometime in winter. Visit the website and check out the new trailer as well as production stills from the movie.

Let me know what ya think.

Okay, so that trailer was a pretty shameless promotion of probably the only two elements you have going for yourself:  budget gore and titties.

I'm not sold on the concept at all.  And with this kind of feature, I believe that's the most important thing(hand-in-hand with an excellent script).  Everything else looks understandably sub-par, the acting, photography, and effects.

I love bad movies.  But it's hard for me to applaud an effort which looks like a glorified home video.  I hope the final result will prove me wrong.  For what it's worth, I'm sure you guys have had a blast making it.

Lastly, a bit of legal advice.  Drop the Lord of the Rings remix of Lux Aeterna from your trailer.  Since this will be a commercial product(I'm assuming), you shouldn't risk a copyright infringement suit.

Thanks for the support.

Unfortunately, shameless promotion is all you have got to get your movie seen when it comes to underground cinema. How else do you think troma survived for 30 years?
                                             Our only goal was only to raise the bar on DV movies. There is a great market for straight to video DV horror films and they get churned out all year long only problem is most of them suck s**t and never deliver the goods. They take themselves way to seriously and its very hard to make a good atmospheric genuinely creepy horror movie shot on digital for under 2 grand.
Obviously,  we were not setting out to make the next Texas chainsaw massacre.  We really tried to go all out and just fill it up with Blood Tits and comedy. The whole thing is all really tongue in cheek. we just wanted to make something fun to watch. Whether we succeeded or not is yet to be seen.

For what it's worth, I have more respect for your "shameless plug" and low-budget movie than I have for 90% of the crap that receives major theatrical releases. Good luck!

I don't know what to think.

I only know I burst out laughing when I heard that guy yell, "We're f**king janitors!!!"

Haha!

And the shaggy guy who plays the evil janitor looks like my uncle Jim from Arkansas!

I'm gonna have to e-mail him the link so he can see it!
