Neil Breen, the independent American filmmaker and actor, is popular for his peculiar filmmaking. He has written, directed, produced, and starred in six theatrical feature films to date and has garnered a following that likes his low budget but interesting films. Breen usually uses stock footage in his films, and it’s been going on ever since he started producing the films.
The latest movie from Neil Breen, Cade: The Tortured Crossing, was released last year, and it sincerely looks like the 1980s full-motion video (Fmv) game because of how much it relies on Shutterstock images for the backdrops. Fans are both awestruck and genuinely curious to figure out how he is able to do it time and time again.

Putting a camera in the hands of people whose own medium is not film, often leads to interesting final products, a passage down a road less travelled, an opportunity to experience the world through a novice’s eyes. Heck, careers have been launched and even whole cinematic movements have been birthed because of such shoe-strap filmmaking. Creators working within the confines of limited budget and experience assembling a product from scratch with nary a plan in hand tend to serve their audiences a platter of rare delights screaming for appreciation. On the flipside, Hiroshi Yamamori’s debut feature “Promise In The Palm” is a nauseatingly lifeless ordeal, an incomprehensible mess that falls flat on its face with all the grace, composure, and awkward hilarity of a Neil Breen or James Nguyen dud.
“Promise in the Palm” screened at Japan Film Fest Hamburg:
Meandering between the past and present with little regard for narrative cohesion,...

Ellen Degeneres has been in the media for all the wrong reasons recently.
Following a slew of reports that both DeGeneres and the producers behind her highly-rated talk show have not treated people working on the show in the best of ways, comes a stunning new allegation.
Neil Breen, a radio host, has opened up about his experience with the show and its host.
“When Ellen DeGeneres came to Australia to do her show in 2013, I was the executive producer of the Today show, so we partnered with them,” Breen said on his radio show, 4Bc Breakfast With Neil Breen, earlier this week.
“Originally she was going to cohost the Today show, then she was going to do this, then she was going to do that," he continued.
"The whole thing got watered down to Ellen DeGeneres would do a sit-down interview.”

Tommy Wiseau. James Nguyen. Neil Breen. Connoisseurs of “so bad, they’re good” movies are familiar with these infamous directors, but have you heard of Stephen Groo? The Utah-based filmmaker has nearly 200 low- or no-budget credits to his name, and he’s the subject of a new documentary called The Insufferable Groo, which follows the title […]

Aficionados of outsider cinema who aren’t already familiar with Las Vegas architect/Diy auteur Neil Breen’s baffling oevure are hereby advised to get on that, now. And you don’t have to take our word for it: The experts at The Flop House recently featured Breen’s film Fateful Findings on an episode of the show, and The A.V. Club’s own Nathan Rabin argued that “The Room is the gold standard for exquisitely, transcendently, historically unself-conscious awfulness, but in recent years its position has been threatened by Neil Breen’s Fateful Findings” in an editorial for Rotten Tomatoes.
If you’re already inducted into the cult of Breen, then we have some great news: He’s currently raising money for his next movie, Twisted, on GoFundMe. Breen provides few details about what to expect in the campaign video, promising simply that Twisted is a “a dark...

I can't get enough Neil Breen! The man is clearly insane, but keeps getting to make bonkers films, and I couldn't love him more for it. Unlike other bad movie writer-directors (like Tommy Wiseau), Neil Breen doesn't ride on the coattails of one success, and has currently made four films (each one more crazy than the last). And he even has his own tropes, such as hacking secret... Read More...

I love bad movies. From the films of Ed Wood, to Birdemic, to Neil Breen's oeuvre, nothing's better than getting a few drinks with friends and riffing on that shit like you're stuck with Crow and Tom Servo on the Satellite of Love. But the thing is, for a bad movie to be worth spending time on, it has to be sincere. No self-aware Sharknado or Machete crap (it's fine if you... Read More...

Writer/Director/Producer/Editor/Actor/Music Supervisor Neil Breen throws himself against the dry ground of the Nevada desert, articulating the existential climax of his dense, bewildering, remarkable film Double Down by screaming, “I’m an American. I’m an American! I love this country, my country!” Breen plays a mercenary computer hacker who abandoned his work as a military fighter pilot after somebody (?) shoots and kills his fiancée during a naked lounging session in his pool. Breen’s character’s dramatic outpouring of patriotic guilt promises a return to moral fortitude after serving whatever moneyed interests pay him the highest dollar – in this case, an unidentified foreign nation instructing him to singlehandedly shut down the Las Vegas strip for two months. Double Down’s protagonist gives us some insight into the mind of its esoteric creator. The first third of the film features Breen’s character (named Aaron in the trailer and Eric in the film...

The Fantasia Film Festival is taking place from July 18th to August 6th in Montreal and will feature over 100 films from around the world. We gave you a look at the initial lineup last month and now have an additional list of Fantasia 2013 films that will be screening, including Curse of Chucky, You’re Next, and Frankenstein’s Army:
Horror Is Child’S Play – Don Mancini’S Curse Of Chucky (World Premiere)
A rarity among genre franchises, the Child’S Play series (begun in 1988) has retained the sure-handed guidance of original screenwriter/creator Don Mancini throughout killer doll Chucky’s decades’-long reign of horror. Mancini, who will be hosting our “scar-studded” world premiere, graduated to the director’s chair with 2004’s Seed Of Chucky, after having co-written or written every entry in the series. His longevity with the project is, of course, matched by the fiendish voiceover work by...
