‘When Evil Reigns’ premieres. And it’s a hit!

May 14, 2006


After a couple of months of planning, the Melbourne premiere is now over … and it went even better than we’d expected. As Mark Smith reports for Horrorscope, ‘…An entertained crowd laughed and jumped in delight as the film played out, cheering on the various deaths.’


On a cold night, at a venue that was described politely by a close friend as ‘a little out of the way’, ‘When Evil Reigns’ premiered to an overwhelmingly postive response. And, with friends, family, and members of the burgeoning Australian Horror community there as we viewed the film on the screen for the first time, how could we feel anything but supported?


Thank you from the filmmakers to everybody who contributed and, please, if you would like to leave a review of the film (whether it be positive or negative) we would love to read it. Simply head over to the Message Board of the ‘When Evil Reigns’ homepage and click the topic entitled, ‘Seen the film? What did you think?’ All input is appreciated.

ABC News Online reports, ‘When Evil Reigns: horror on a budget’

May 10, 2006


There’s something incredible about seeing your name in print, particularly when it’s associated with a project you love.

This morning, I woke up to find that Gary Kemble from ABC News Online had posted his article entitled ‘When Evil Reigns: Horror on a budget’. My brother Alix and I spoke to Gary a couple of weeks ago, and were really happy with the perceptiveness of his questions (being a horror fan, he wanted to know all the things about the film that we, as horror fans, wanted to tell him). And the result doesn’t disappoint. Read the article to see our reflections on the filmmaking process, and learn what we advise you to do (and not do) when making your own film in ‘Alix and Luke’s 10-step film school’.
