Reviews:
“This is not amateur hour. There is serious, professional filmmaking going on here, and bright futures are ahead all involved. If you have the stomach, and are in the mood for some really dark, really thought-provoking horror, give this one a look.” Elliott Maguire, UK Horror Scene
“Horror Network is a disparate collection of hidden gems. It’s a bit uneven at times, but that’s only natural given its international flavor and multitude of contributors. If, as reported, primary creators Dorton and Douglas Connor reviewed about 200 films before settling on the final five, they certainly did their homework.” Allan Walton, Ravenous Monster
Dark and edgy with an fast pace, The Horror Network is non-stop action. Extremely well acted by the entire cast, with gritty cinematography that leaves an indelible mark on the viewer. The special effects are outstanding, and blend perfectly into each scene no matter how bizarre or gruesome.” Robyn Andrew, Cryptic Rock
