All hail the Owl Man!!!!!

Welcome back to the 13th floor! On this post I'm going to provide a service to you all.  I am going to recommend a horror flick to you *DISLCAIMER* This is to all of you who don't believe recommending a horror film is a service, this isn't a servicee that will benefit you. I'm serving a demographic.....horror fans! It just breaks my heart to think of all the horror fans out there starving for an original and scary horror flick. This is a service to those poor souls who are sick as hell of the Hollywood dream machine remaking  and often butchering classic horror films! They're doing the same to foreign horror flicks as well and this BURNS MY ASS!!!!!!!! alas that's for another adventure on the 13th floor.* END DISCLAIMER* The horror film I will be recommending to you is entitled Lord of Tears!
 
 
If you're thinking to yourself "Holy deep fried chicken burgers batman is that an...an...OWLMAN! you are correct! He has a name though its Moloch and he is the supernatural baddie causing all sorts of mayhem in Lord of Tears. 
 
Filmed in Scotland, Lord of Tears is directed by Lawrie Brewster and written by Sarah Daly. An upcoming horror prodigy. The film's protagonist is James Findlay portrayed by Euan Douglas. James is a middle aged school teacher plagued by nightmares which center around a humanoid figure with an owls head at his childhood home in the Scottish Highlands. After the death of his mother the nightmares become to intense for James to handle. Feeling the nightmares are linked to an incident of his past James returns to his childhood home to confront whatever horrors await him there.
Filmed on location in the Scotish Highlands "Lord of Tears" is an extremely original and unsettling horror film. There is more tension in on six second scene in Lord of Tears then in all the mainstream horror films playing at your local Cineplex put together! Moloch (Owlman) proves to be one of the most frightening and relentless horror villains in horror film history! Moloch is an ancient Ammonite God. The worship of Moloch is rather unpleasant due to the involvement of Child Sacrifice.
 
Seriously who would mess with this guy!?!?!?!
As mentioned above this film is chock full of nail biting tension. Its your classic Hammeresque gothic ghost story. The mansion, which acts as the film's primary setting, was made to have a horror film filmed in it. Just looking at it's menacing exterior send will send a shockwave of willies down your spine! The story is slow to build and it pays off with a vengeance. Full of delightfully trauma inducing imagery *DISLCAIMER* Yes Trauma inducing imagery can be delightful....referring to horror movies of course *END DISCLAIMER* Lord of Tears is a true journey into psychological terror. I really don't want to give a lot of the movie away because there is a rather great plot twist at the end of this picture. There are no spoilers on the 13th Floor *DISCLAIMER* I realize I pretty much spoiled Rosemary's baby for all the knuckle heads out there who still haven't seen it. From this point on there will be no spoilers on the 13th floor. *END DISCLAIMER* What else I find extremely appealing about Lord of Tears is the fact that its an independent film and it is the best horror film of the year! For those looking for great horror look towards the independent and foreign horror films!
Wondering how you can get your hands on Lord of Tears? Head over to http://www.hexmedia.tv/ to order a copy! Along with the bluray or dvd you purchase you will also receive the film's incredibly creepy soundtrack on cd and a 22 page booklet of Owlman incantations *DISCLAIMER* Way to scared to read that shit out loud *END DISCLAIMER* And if you want to splurge a bit and look dead sexy doing so order yourself a snazzy Lord of Tears T-Shirt (Pictured below) *DISCLAIMER* Yes that is me. The keeper of the 13th floor. Sexy huh? *END DISCLAIMER*
 
Bottom line....Buy Lord of Tears and spend a night at home with the Owlman! You won't be disappointed *DISCLAIMER* You might not me disappointed but you will be scared shitless! *END DISCLAIMER*
