C. M. Lazer returns with another Italian horror inspired short film — PHANTOMS OF THE FOG! This 11 minute affair consists of a heaping dose of, you guessed it, Italian horror, with a dash of those classic Vietnam War actions flicks churned out around the world during the mid to late 80s. Starring Filmiracle Productions regulars Karen Lynn and Terry Reilly, newcomer Ryan Fargo plays the part of a American soldier wandering around in the jungle for reasons unknown. This time around, C has recruited Luca Coscarella (known for his amazing cover tracks, most notably his BURIAL GROUND: NIGHT OF TERROR cover) to deliver a hypnotic musical score. Now, of course it’s not the 1980s anymore, so this film still does contain some of its own charm in the mix.

"... could be described as a Lucio Fulci achievement based on a script by Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso." - toxiccrypt.fr

"Atmosphere that reminds me of the films I’ve shot for Lucio Fulci. Good tension. An excellent short." - Nino Celeste (DP, Lucio Fulci's HOUSE OF CLOCKS, SWEET HOUSE OF HORRORS)

"... it's Italian horror." - Claudio Lattanzi (director KILLING BIRDS)

Ryan Fargo and Karen Lynn as a rotten VC guerrilla.

While the best zombies-rising-from-the-grave scene is unquestionably in Joe D'Amato's EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD, the best-looking zombies overall are in Andrea Bianchi's BURIAL GROUND: NIGHTS OF TERROR.  This is the VC guerrilla mask in progress that was inspired by BURIAL GROUND. 

PHANTOMS OF THE FOG was included as part of the anthology film GRINDSPLOITATION 8: DRIVE-IN GRINDHOUSE distributed by Troma.
