We haven't heard much about Oliver S. Milburn's The Harsh Light of Day here in the States for the past few years, but thanks to Jinga Films and Mvd, it's finally getting a North American DVD release in just a few more weeks.
Writer/director Milburn's The Harsh Light of Day stars Dan Richardson, Giles Alderson, Sophie Linfield, and Paul Jaques.
Look for the vampire revenge tale, which has been dubbed "Death Wish with fangs," on July 22nd.
Synopsis:
Daniel Shergold (Richardson), a writer on the occult, is a happily married man until the day his wife is murdered and he is left paralyzed in a brutal, seemingly random attack by a group of masked intruders. When the police are unable to find the perpetrators, Daniel is left in a pit of bitterness and anger.
Desperately seeking vengeance, Daniel is brought to the attention of a mysterious stranger who changes everything.

American micro-budget filmmakers should do themselves a favor and watch writer/director Oliver S. Milburn’s feature debut The Harsh Light of Day. The compelling UK production, shot on location in Dorset, England, is a model of smart, economical storytelling. It’s also an extremely well acted and produced little film that fully understands, and makes the most of, its budgetary limitations.
During a violent home invasion, occult author Daniel Shergold (a somber Dan Richardson) is brutally beaten while his wife is tortured and killed. All the while the assailants, wearing hoodies and white masks, videotape the grisly events. Surviving the attack, Daniel is left a former shell of himself, crippled and paralyzed by guilt and anger. His only link to the outside world is his compassionate home nurse Fiona (Sophie Linfield...

ill Manors (18)
(Ben Drew, 2012, UK) Riz Ahmed, Ed Skrein, Natalie Press, Anouska Mond. 121 mins
The coalition government has repeatedly denied his existence, but Plan B proves he's for real with this intense, provocative survey of British urban decay in all its forms. A few too many forms, perhaps, as this crams in so many tales of hardship, exploitation, drugs and violence, and seeks to render them in so many ways (hip-hop numbers, tricksy visuals, flashbacks), it gets a bit carried away. Still, top marks for at least trying to tell it like it is.
Red Tails (12A)
(Anthony Hemingway, 2012, Us) Cuba Gooding Jr, Terrence Howard. 125 mins
George Lucas co-produces this story of the African-American Tuskegee Airmen and their role in the second world war, fighting both Nazis and racism. There's more of an eye for aerial action than grown-up drama, though.
A Fantastic Fear Of Everything (15)

I’m never quite sure how to approach Left Films’ output. On the one hand, these movies are cheap, derivative and lower than the lowest common denominator, while on the other you become so dispirited by the likes of Cowboys & Zombies and Ninjas vs. Vampire that you feel you really ought to give them some credit when they do finally get it slightly more right.
There is no getting away from the fact that their latest, The Harsh Light Of Day, is amateurish; that it’s filmed without style, scripted without flair and – at a mere 90 minutes – is far too short to really explore any of its characters, themes or fledgling mythology. But with a first-time feature director, a cast of unknowns and an estimated budget of around £100,000, what are you to realistically expect?

Harsh Light Of Day
Stars: Dan Richardson, Giles Alderson, Sophie Linfield, Niki Felstead, Paul Jaques | Written and Directed by Oliver S. Milburn
If you’re making a movie should have at least one of the following: a) a decent script or b) decent actors. If you’ve got both, you’re laughing, if you’ve only got one of those two things, then if it’s good enough, it can make up for the failings of the other. If you have neither a well written script nor actors that can’t act, you’re in trouble.
Unfortunately, The Harsh Light of Day falls into this latter category. The film is a low-budget horror in which a writer is brutally attacked in his own home by video camera-wielding masked thugs. His wife is killed and he is left paralysed. A deal with a mysterious stranger, however, offers him the chance for revenge.
