Some reviews of Strange Aeons have started to surface.
..a full scale assault on your senses. That leaves you guessing down to the last second where the evil is lurking.. Strange Aeons could quickly become a cult classic.
Review by Heather Burke
..On a movie-watching scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest), I give STRANGE AEONS a 6.5.. On a Lovecraft-related scale, I give it a 7..
Frank Hummel Reviews Unfilmable.com
..The premiere of Strange Aeons was next for me, and it was an incredibly polished production. The cast, headed by J. D. Lloyd as Dan Upton and Erick J. Robertson as Edward Derby, was solid, the writing efficient and the direction competently handled...
Derek Koch: Geek in the City
..Strange Aeons boosts some nice visuals, impressive special effects, an affecting musical score..a strong cast of supporting actors, most notably Peter Anthony Holden as the evil sorcerer and Jerry Lloyd as a less bad sorcerer who explains it all to Miskatonic University professor Dr. Dan Upton (J.D. Lloyd)..
Thomas M. Sipos Hollywood Investigator
Where Strange Aeons stands on its own is the commitment that it took to make. The care, the time, the undeniable interest to create a truly entertaining and worth while film.
..Strange Aeons gains a suitable place in the realms of those various adaptations to Lovecraft that have achieved credibility (the HPLHS production of The Call of Cthulhu, Bryan Moore..s Cool Air, Dan O..Bannon..s The Resurrected).

"We, men of no flag, hereby design to sail under no flag together. Let it be the flag of blood: Desperate men in search of desperate fortune..."
- Errol Flynn, Captain Blood
Maelstrom Productions was founded in the '90's by director Eric Morgret and writer K.L. Young. Both had been pursuing dreams of filmmaking separately but found an instant connection when they met during the production of a Nightshade video. Together they came up with the idea of a film company that would more resemble a family-owned business where they could work with like-minded individuals that they actually enjoyed being around, and where everyone owned a piece of the pie and would share in the profits.
The dream was there, but the funds were not. Like most independent filmmakers, they toiled at short films that were never completed or feature films that were not realistic options. Unlike most independent filmmakers however, they were able to secure the odd commercial or business video, which allowed them to purchase their own equipment and begin to realize the dream.
Several short films followed, and finally it happened - someone just crazy
enough to believe in these two crazy guys. A whirlwind of contracts, lawyers
and an LLC later, this little company has finished its first feature length
film, is hitting the festival cicuit, and is busy planning for future
projects. Desperate men in search of desperate fortune? You bet.

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages...
