Todd Sheets is no stranger to the indie horror scene and has
delivered a plethora of titles. The man knows a thing or two
about the do-it-yourself attitude and determination that it
takes to make a low budget horror feature. He not only knows the
ins and outs of the indie gauntlet but the man knows how to make
it work like a well-oiled savage monster of a machine. Countless
hours of hard work, blood, sweat, fucking tears and beyond. With
his latest project, which might possibly be his most ambitious
yet, he has laid all the cards on the table.
With his previous film House of Forbidden Secrets (review here), Sheets
told me he made his tribute to Italian horror, and rightfully
so, by even having Fabio fucking Frizzi score the son of a bitch
for him. With Dreaming Purple Neon, Sheets has made his
gory love letter to the crazy flicks of eighties horror cinema,
or VHS horror in general, where no fucks were given and
filmmakers pulled out all the stops. Think crazy drug-fuelled
satanic gore madness and Dreaming Purple Neon is the
final product that is created from those nasty ingredients.
Dreaming Purple Neon begins with small-time hoods Tyrone (Ricky Farr) and Ray Ray (Antwoine
Steel lookin’ hilarious with this crazy curly black bouffant of
a hairstyle), who are taking care of some business when things
get messy. Tyrone gets his assistant Catriona (Millie Milan) to
get the "cleaners" to take care of the mess in his office.
Millie decides she has had enough of Tyrone's criminal activity
and steals some of the valuables hidden in his office, including
his stash of a valuable new street drug called "Purple Neon." We
also get another storyline involving Dallas (Jeremy Edwards),
who has returned to his hometown to set things straight with his
lost love interest Denise (Eli DeGeer). To make a long story
short, all the characters end up at a dental office which is
owned by Cyrus Archer (Jack McCord), who is doing some pretty
fucked up shit in the basement, unbeknownst to anyone.
Sheets really raised the bar in the splatter department with
this one because he lays it on thick throughout, especially when
shit gets real about 30-minutes into the movie. There is lots of
blood, nudity and gore in this one to appease your appetite. My
only qualms would be the acting which suffers in certain parts
and can be dull performance-wise and it takes a while into the
movie to get the story set up. Overall, Dreaming Purple Neon
is a wild and entertaining ride that goes for the balls with
its visceral display of grue on-screen. Sheets has definitely
succeeded in doing what he wanted by giving fans a throwback of
extreme cinema from the video store era.
Sheets has practically financed Dreaming Purple Neon
himself, made for hardly no money and starring friends he has
made along the way in his filmmaking endeavors -- people who
have put in long gruelling hours to make this a reality for the
fans. We commend your dedication, humble attitude and dedication
to the craft! Support true indie horror. Support Todd Sheets
and Extreme Entertainment. I also have
to give props for the cool as balls Marvel-esque movie intro
used for Extreme Entertainment, as I myself am a big fan of all
things comic book related. Very cool shit indeed. Radio Host and
Horror Movie Director going strong since 1988 -- support this
legend!
