We’ve completed work on two more short films, based on a couple of Howard’s best stories (he wrote so many, it was very hard to choose).

Horror Buzz - “Ankle Biters is one of those films that gets increasingly crazier and more heinous as it moves along, all the way up until the final frame. It doesn’t just lean into creating shock value, it kicks down the door of convention to take the audience on a demented, startling ride.”

Screen Anarchy - “Starting fairly dark and getting darker with each passing scene, Ankle Biters doesn't let up until everyone has blood on their bodies or hands.”

Horror Geek Life - “[…] the sisters are chilling in their methodical torment of Sean. It’s to the point of psychotic when their babysitter-for-the-night, and Sean’s friend, Matia, is deemed target for their destruction.”
