RAVING REVIEW: Jared Campbell and Spring Lane Studios have done it again, whisking us into a Giallo-filled fever dream with MIGRAINE, the latest cinematic endeavor, a beacon of creativity and depth in this series of unique, passion-filled, and entertaining films. This film combines the new and familiar, inviting us on an artist's harrowing journey through personal afflictions and mysterious disappearances. It's a testament to the studio's passion for blending intimate struggles with broader enigmas while keeping us firmly on the edge of our seats.

Campbell's homage to the Giallo genre is both a nod to the fans who have a passion for the genre and a welcoming experience for new fans, showcasing the cast and crew's unwavering commitment to crafting an authentic yet innovative storytelling experience. MIGRAINE wears its heart on its sleeve, infused with passion, turning each scene into a memorable experience, led by Shea Briar as Farrah Walker. This isn't just another addition to the already impressive catalog of films Spring Lane has under its belt; it's a lovingly crafted vision that respects its history while daring to dream bigger.

What sets MIGRAINE apart is its execution; the film's intimate, claustrophobic feel leaves viewers experiencing the same emotions as Farrah does throughout her journey. The film and its predecessors pulsate with a genuine love for cinema, a trait that Campbell and his team have woven into the very fabric of these films. Each installment, from the direct sequels to those just part of this little universe, has its look and feel brimming with the passion for indie filmmaking.

Make sure you stick around for the post-credit sequence; it’s 100% worth it if you want a small taste of what's to come! The fun outtakes at the end are a delightful cherry on top, sharing the heart that this team has for the films they make. These moments draw us closer to the creative heart of the project, offering a glimpse into the fun and camaraderie that make the magic happen.

With whispers of the next film in the lineup and LADY PARTS stirring excitement for what's next, it's clear that the series knows how to keep its audience hooked and looking forward to more. Campbell and Spring Lane Studios have mastered the art of exceeding expectations, crafting stories that are as engaging emotionally as they are intellectually—taking independent filmmaking to another level.

MIGRAINE is a shining example of what happens when filmmakers pour their hearts into their work. It's a celebration of cinema's power to connect, inspire, and remind us of the artistry of telling stories that resonate.
