HORRIBLE IMAGININGS FILM FESTIVAL:

Best Feature – Audience Choice

 

NYC HORROR FILM FESTIVAL:

Best Feature

Best SPFX

 

HORRORQUEST FILM FESTIVAL:

 Best Director: Elias. 

“Gut is a very effective film. While it suffers from some of the common problems that plague many indie films it is clear that this film was made by someone with talent. The film builds but never feels slow and while it is not the best looking film it is extremely solid. Watching this with an Audience its clear this director knows how to connect and we very much look forward to seeing what is in store next. “

Best Actor: Nicholas Wilder.
“Nicholas Wilder really stood out in gut as the character dan. He really comes off as a fun but lonely guy with only one wish, to spend a little more time with his best friend. While watching Nicholas you can really tell he has a talent to really go on to bigger things. He really stands apart from the cast and plays Dan with earnest and sadness that feels completely genuine. “

Best Actress: Sarah Schoofs. 
“We really enjoyed watching Sarah Schoofs as Tom’s Wife, Lily in Gut. She plays a woman who is deeply worried about her husband and  just wants to make him happy. unlike some other actresses in indie horror flicks she doesn’t come off like she is faking it. She doesn’t over act and delivers her lines soulfully. “

RECENT REVIEWS FOR GUT!

(CLICK ON PHOTOS TO SEE FULL REVIEW)

CANADIAN CINEPHILE

“The fact is that Elias’ motion picture is one of the best horror films of the year, “low budget” or not. The performances are terrific, the plot unfolds elegantly and the chills come from an intelligent, philosophically-challenging place.”

Image

“Gut is a hard film to watch, downright unbearable. For horror, that’s high praise now of days. Rarely can a film from the genre really surprise us, actually scare us. If you only saw the major releases, it would be easy to predict the death of the genre. However, you have films like Gut that come along.”

Day 1 of ‘Peepers!’

DEER!! Many visitors to the set.. 🙂
