REVIEWS:

"Wow, what a stunner! Well directed, well acted, good special effects. I'll be seeing your first feature credit soon." Roger Ebert

"Sick, oppressive, twisted and revolting- bring on some more, Mike!!" Guillermo Del Toro - Director of PAN'S LABYRINTH and HELLBOY II

"This dark, highly-charged short film is inspired in classic terror and modern horror cinema. Guaranteed to chill audiences to the bone." San Sebastian Horror Film Festival

"Genuinely horrifying. I’m positive after seeing the film that Williamson’s going to end up in features. He’s got chops, and he’s got a good sense of how to make the outrageous seem almost rational. This has played well at festivals so far, and if you get a chance to see it, you should." Moriarty - AintItCool.com

"IN THE WALL shows great taste, great talent, and wonderful manipulation of the nerve endings of the audience." Peter Medak - Director of THE CHANGELING

"IN THE WALL not only displays a new talent that is soon to be reckoned with, but it also delivers the punch. Just wait until you see this shocker, it’s going to bring you back to a time when the twists kicked you in the balls and had you talking for days. 4 out of 5 stars" bloody-disgusting.com

"IN THE WALL is a creepy, bloody tale. Excellent." jasonwatchesmovies.blogspot.com

"You never know what will happen next in this splendid chiller." Cleveland Film Festival

"Excellent. In the Wall is an exceptionally well executed Edgar Allen Poe-style short film which deserves to be seen by as wide an audience as possible." AintItCool.com

"Before the next big film (at FRIGHT FEST) we got treated to the In the Wall short, described by its director, Mike Williamson, as Edgar Allen Poe meets EC Comics and he was true to his word. This was Poe’s The Black Cat with an EC punchline, brilliantly scored by Clint Mansell with a first rate performance from Chris McKenna, it had the polish of a feature film. Best short film of the festival by a country mile." filmjournal.net

"Mike Williamson's short film IN THE WALL is the cinematic equivalent of a good Stephen King short story." John Landis - Director of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

"Fantastic! Writer-Director Mike Williamson is back with a short film that's sure to scare you out of your wits." bloody-disgusting.com

"Unpredictable and terrifying. Pure intensity that won't disappoint." www.myspace.com/horror_reviews

"Out-and-out fun. Mike Williamson’s IN THE WALL sashays from Poe to Larry Cohen to Stuart Gordon without batting a blood-encrusted eyelash. At its mid-way point, IN THE WALL seemed poised to drift into a more suggestive horror story – absolutely nothing wrong with that, mind you – but instead veered off into a wild, oft-hilarious gorefest. Such an abrupt shift might have crippled another short subject but Williamson’s assured direction and a game cast made it work. " twitchfilm.net

"I, like the rest of the crowd, was VERY impressed with Mike's work here. The twists come fast and furious from the get-go. Erin Brown (THE LOST) gave a stellar performance, and Williamson's lighting and camerawork are su-fucking-perb, and the makeup is killer too. The whole film had the kind of pro polish on it while still being EXTREMELY creepy and effective that this guy will be kicking our asses on a feature in no time." Joe Lynch - Director of WRONG TURN 2

"Williamson succeeds in creating a suspenseful revenge flick, filled with plenty of gore and a few good scares. There are enough disturbing scenes to quench any hardcore horror fan’s appetite." Fangoria.com

"Straight up horror that hands out the creepies in spades." RevolutionSF.com

"In The Wall is a nasty one! Paced perfectly, with some great (and fairly shocking) kills packed into the piece, and an applause worthy ending." horror-movie-a-day.blogspot.com

"During the film’s short length, Mike Williamson masterfully juggles several tonalities-comedy, drama, horror, suspense-but never once drops a ball. Reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe and the old EC comics stories, In the Wall is truly an accomplished piece of storytelling." ScreamTV.net
