1. I would enjoy contributing on a regular basis

   I’m a film, literature, and horror critic with a deep background in classic genre storytelling and a passion for smart, honest writing. My horror taste leans old-school—ghost stories, Algernon Blackwood, M.R. James, H.P. Lovecraft—but I also champion modern voices like Dan Simmons, Kim Newman, and Bentley Little. If the work is strong, I say so. If it misses, I call that too—with the goal of helping creators improve, not tearing them down.
   I’m a devoted Dracula scholar. I’ve studied Bram Stoker’s novel, read academic texts on both the book and his life, and even wrote and directed a stage adaptation. Victorian horror, penny dreadfuls, vampires, werewolves, and ghost stories are my bread and butter. I’m a lifelong “monster kid,” with a collection that goes all the way back to Famous Monsters of Filmland.

   I contribute now to FILM THREAT as a Rotten tomatoes critic plus Bloody Flicks, Horror DNA doing both literature and film. I have a soft spot for cult film—everything from misunderstood oddities to scrappy low-budget gems—and I’m right at home.

   I’m a strong supporter of independent productions. Most of the screeners I get aren’t from big studios—Infested via Shudder and The Substance and The Munsters remake were exceptions—but I focus on what’s in front of me. My rule is simple: Does the story do what it sets out to do? Budget doesn’t matter—craft does.
   Professionally, I’m reliable. I never share screeners, comics, or materials. I’ve written for multiple sites and handled overlapping assignments with transparency—either adapting pieces or working with editors to avoid conflict. I take editing well and treat every assignment with care.

2. The film ‘Eye for an Eye’ drops this month June 20th via Vertical Entertainment on VOD and in select theaters nationwide. A visually bold, psychologically sharp horror debut from Grammy-nominated director Colin Tilley, starring Whitney Peak (Gossip Girl, Hocus Pocus 2), Finn Bennett (True Detective: Night Country), and breakout newcomer Laken Giles.

   Set in a decaying Florida town, Eye for an Eye blends classic horror tropes with surreal, music-video-style visuals. It’s a haunting story about guilt, complicity, and the terrifying cost of silence — think The Ring meets It Follows, reimagined for a Gen Z audience.

   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: [Vincent Guastini / vincentguastini@gmail.com /818 389 7862] Vincent Guastini Productions – Los Angeles, CA Vincent Guastini Brings Practical FX Power Back to Theaters with Dogma, Al Pacino’s Lear Rex, Craig Singer’s The Block, and More LOS ANGELES, CA — May 2025 — Emmy-nominated FX legend Vincent Guastini is charging into 2025 with a slate of new projects and the return of one of his most iconic creations to the big screen. On June 5, Kevin Smith’s cult classic Dogma hits theaters nationwide for a special re-release, spotlighting Guastini’s unforgettable animatronic wings and creature work. The film’s return marks a cultural resurgence for handcrafted effects in an increasingly digital world. Guastini is currently designing all creature effects for Toad, a psychedelic horror-comedy directed by Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City), starring James Franco, Tiffany Haddish, Christopher Meloni, and Katt Williams. He’s also wrapping effects on The Block, a gritty horror feature directed by Craig Singer, starring Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen). The film features lifelike gore, body prosthetics, and VGP’s signature creature work. Additional recent work includes prosthetic and gore effects for Al Pacino in Lear Rex, directed by Bernard Rose (Candyman), in collaboration with Oscar-winner John Caglione. Guastini’s work is also featured in the Emmy-nominated series RZR and the critically acclaimed Strange Darling, which holds a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. With a legacy that includes Requiem for a Dream, Letters from Iwo Jima, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and The Taking of Deborah Logan, Guastini has worked with some of the most respected directors in Hollywood—from Clint Eastwood and Darren Aronofsky to Kevin Smith and James Gunn. As a producer and director, his credits include Silent Night, Rock Paper Dead, and the horror anthology The Dark Tapes—holding a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score and praised by Film Threat as “effective, mysterious, and vibey millennial horror.” His next two films, Beyond Human and The Astronaut, are in development.
