I got a screener copy of this film from a friend of mine who worked on it, what a crazy film, but it works. This film is freaky folks, very odd and scary at times. It may be a bit confusing to some people but I liked it, It's very much a film that along the lines of...

I have a lot to say about "Machined", a film that is not even available yet, but yet the trailer and buzz on the internet for the film seem to be helping "Machined" get the buzz it needs. If you haven't seen the trailer you can view it on the official website for the...
