WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT "HEAD TRAUMA"
"Any number of big-deal filmmakers - M. Night Shyamalan, for one - would be well-served by a viewing of the low-budget Head Trauma. ...this simple and effective psycho-thriller creates a mood of dread and dissociation, and sustains it, without resorting to elaborate special effects, or a colorful crowd of actors, or otherworldly mystical hooey." 3 out of 4 stars
- PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
"I'm giving this film my first ever 10 and have to say the hopes and dreams of the great American horror are now on Weiler's shoulders."
- CINEPHELIA.COM
"With his second outing, Weiler proves himself a seriously skilled director. His tone has much in common with the recent spate of Japanese horror films. There's the emphasis on atmosphere, the sad, restless ghosts of the past, the jittery camerawork. It's a wonder Hollywood hasn't snapped him up to helm one of the countless J-horror remakes taking place stateside (The Ring, The Grudge, Pulse). It's almost depressing to think what Weiler could have done with the recent revision of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 2001 chiller Pulse."
- THE ALIBI
"HEAD TRAUMA will leave you scratching yours in the midst of a fantastic, scary ride that leaves no unanswered questions and does its job with the utmost competence and sheer unalloyed glee."4 stars
- FILM THREAT
"In this game melding of the conventions of the modern Japanese ghost story with those of the standard American amnesia melodrama, writer-director Lance Weiler delivers a fair number of chills, a modicum of thrills and some downright nifty pyrotechnics. Tracing the doomed efforts of its whiny protagonist (Francis Coppola look-alike Vince Mola) to salvage the run-down and apparently haunted house he..s inherited from his grandmother, Head Trauma unassumingly works its way under the skin, raising neck hairs while teasing us to pry open its psychological puzzle box of unpaid pipers and arrested development."
-LA WEEKLY
"The growling, hooded figure which dogs George through the story is an absolutely terrifying apparition, perhaps the simplest and most haunting monster to grace a movie screen since the debut of Freddy Krueger in the original "A Nightmare On Elm Street."
- BLOODY DISGUSTING
"One of this year's touchstones... Demonstrating once again that ingenuity and invention are more important than millions of dollars in budget, Weiler most effectively works within the confines of the dark house. As more and more unsettling things start to happen, it's almost as though the house were growing into a full-fledged, recently awakened character that is not sure what it wants to do when it sees that it's under attack... Head Trauma creeped me out."
- TWITCHFILM.NET
"A slick, original, attention-grabbing feature... pushes the medium to the edge of its artistic bounds."
- ALBUQUERQUE WEEKLY
"Horror outing that revives the under appreciated monster of the id to great effect."
- MOVIE CITY NEWS
"You know the ones: Jacob's Ladder, 12 Monkeys, even Lost Highway. Head Trauma is a solid induction into these halls of creepy mindfucks."
- THE PORTLAND MERCURY
"Elicits effective creeps. A well executed haunted house exercise that treads the psychological vs. supernatural line."
- AIN'T IT COOL NEWS
"Incredibly creepy... good re-creation of 70's horror."
-TUCSON WEEKLY
"Fright classic... surprisingly effective chiller."
- THE OREGONIAN
"HEAD TRAUMA is completely pro. From packaging to film quality to the movie's website, it seems like there was big money behind this film."

HEAD TRAUMA SYNOPSIS
As if awakening from a long dream, George Walker, an alcoholic drifter, returns home to settle his grandmother's estate. He finds her house condemned and inhabited by squatters -- and, perhaps, someone else. While clearing debris, George strikes his head and begins experiencing vivid nightmares and waking visions: hooded figures, ghostly women, fires, accidents, death. As George's pain increases and reality blurs, his conviction grows that someone -- or something -- is trying to kill him.
