RAVING REVIEW: Eileen Daly keeps the indie horror vibes going with her I SEE THE DEAD SERIES, leaning into the quirky charm that fans of low-budget, spooky flicks know and love. With titles like MR CRISPIN, HOLLYWOOD BETRAYED, and WITCHES BREW, Daly delivers a playful mix of dark humor and supernatural intrigue. These films aren't pretending to be Hollywood blockbusters; they don't need to. Daly knows precisely what she's working with, and she uses it to craft eerie tales that keep viewers hooked, all while maintaining a fun, self-aware tone. She's gearing up for her next project, FIRST BITE, which promises to keep the momentum rolling.

The series starts with MR CRISPIN, where Daly and her ghost-hunting crew dive into Mr. Crispin's odd life. The movie sets the mood with spooky vibes, but a playful twist lightens things up before long, making it a fun watch with plenty of unexpected turns. Daly balances the creepy and the comedic, keeping the audience on their toes with her signature style.

Next up, HOLLYWOOD BETRAYED turns the spooky dial-up as Daly’s character navigates a haunted hotel in Normsville. This one plays with reality versus illusion, drawing viewers into its mysterious world while keeping the suspense playful and engaging. Daly's performance gives the film its heart, blending ghostly thrills with psychological twists to keep things unpredictable.

WITCHES BREW wraps up the series by cranking up the fantastical elements with curses, demonic battles, and magical mayhem. This one dives into the deep end of supernatural storytelling, injecting energy into the mix while staying true to the series' quirky, indie roots.

Beyond her work in front of the camera, Daly’s creativity spills over into her collaborations with Redemption Films and her band, Eileen and Ben. The I SEE THE DEAD SERIES is a testament to Daly’s knack for embracing the fun, offbeat side of horror without taking herself too seriously. It's the perfect blend of humor and scares, with each film offering its quirky charm while building a memorable, eerie world. Daly’s scripts are full of wit, and her performances bring just the right amount of spook to the table, making each movie a unique experience that stands out in the indie horror scene.

While this series might not be heading for prime time, it’s brimming with entertainment value, especially for those who love their horror with a side of laughs and its unique indie flair. Daly’s presence is the glue that holds it all together, proving that even with modest budgets, you can create something unique.

With FIRST BITE on the horizon, Daly’s not slowing down anytime soon. Through MR CRISPIN, HOLLYWOOD BETRAYED, and WITCHES BREW, she’s solidified her spot as a favorite in indie horror. These films do more than deliver scares; they remind us why indie horror is a fun and vibrant space. Daly’s unique blend of horror and comedy leaves a lasting impression, and we can’t wait to see what she does next!
