What would Christmas be without a Yule Log? To make sure we don’t have to worry about it, Mark Polonia has followed up such wonderful seasonal films as Feeders 2: Slay Bells and Sister Krampus with Yule Log, a festive tale of witchery and vengeance from beyond the grave.

The film begins with a lecture on witches and witch hunting, concluding with the tale of Drucinda of the Woods who was nailed to a tree and left for the ravens. But not before casting an unspecified curse on the woods. In the present, Robin survives a car crash only to have Drucinda cast a spell on her.

Unaware of this, Charles and Roy are about to pick up their buddy Earl. He recently lost his wife and they don’t want him...

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”

It’s time to revisit the Amityville “franchise’s” most prolific director, Mark Polonia. Thus far we’ve experienced his work on Amityville Death House (famed for its bizarre Spider woman climax) and, more recently, Amityville Exorcism.

Which brings us to Polonia’s third title in the “series”: Amityville Island. Oddly enough this film is something of a spiritual sequel to Exorcism, in that it features brief flashbacks of that film’s lead, Melanie (Marie DeLorenzo). The reveal of that character’s fate is quite grim: in between films Melanie shot up a diner as part of a slate of unexplained murders in Amityville.

Unsurprisingly for these films, Melanie’s actions have very little bearing on Island. There’s a reporter,...

"I saw a giant shark with glowing red eyes in the water! What is it?!" Wild Eye Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for a no budget, trash horror film creation called Sharkula, by filmmaker Mark Polonia who makes nothing but D-movies every year. They've made Sharknado, Exorcist Shark, Jurassic Shark, Shark Encounters of the Third Kind, Virus Shark, so it seems this is next up on the shark + horror mashup. The curse of Count Dracula lives on in shark infested waters, claiming the lives of a tourist community. A sea hunt for the new species results in monsters, madness and bloodshed. Oh my. This Great White is "putting the bite back into terror," with the aid of vampires intent on seeing it survive. Starring Jeff Kirkendall as "Dracula", with Kyle Rappaport, Jamie Morgan, Natalie Himmelberger, James Kelly, and Titus Himmelberger. It looks absolutely terrible, but I think that's the point.

Wild Eye Releasing has just chummed the waters for their upcoming horror film Noah's Shark. You heard me right! From the makers of The VelociPastor andTsunambee (This is gonna sting a little..), Noah's Shark is swimming your way! It's your standard Ark tale: A fame-seeking televangelist and his film crew team set out to find the fabled Noah's Ark, but discover it is guarded by both an ancient curse and a prehistoric great white shark. Take a bite out of this trailer, you know you wanna!

The film was directed by independent horror filmmaker Mark Polonia and stars Jeff Kirkendall, Tim Hatch, Jamie Morgan, Samantha Coolidge (Children of Camp Blood), and Ryan Dalton (Dune World).

Twins Mark and brother John Polonia (who passed at age 39) have made a cornucopia of independent horror movies beginning in their teens. At nineteen years old, they made names for themselves with 1987's shot-on-video Splatter Farm.

I think I’ve watched more films by Mark Polonia during this past year in lockdown than I have in the rest of my life. Which is apt given this, his latest film, deals with a global viral pandemic… Though unlike the current one we’re experiencing here in the real world, the virus in Virus Shark comes from a shark. As if I needed to explain that given the title!

Dubbed Shvid-1, the virus has decimated the globe, with millions dying, riots and violence in the streets, martial law declared everywhere. Basically the world has turned to shit. The only thing standing between humanity and what looks to be the end of the world are a group of scientists working 800 metres under the sea, trying to find...
