Features
[edit]Feast of the Vampires
[edit]In 2009, Burleson shot his first feature film, Feast of the Vampires. It was intended to pay homage to 1980s films such as Fright Night and The Monster Squad.[1] In fall 2009, the film was premiered at the Southern Shorts Film Festival in Athens, Atlanta, and won the Audience Choice Award for Best Film.[2] The film was self-released on DVD in February 2010 and later became available on Amazon and Amazon on Demand.[3]
The film takes place in a Southern town with a vampire curse. A normal young man is trapped in a Southern plantation and must outwit an African American vampire and his Native American housekeeper in order to save a farmer's beautiful daughter with whom the young man has fallen in love. The film was transferred to VHS and is presented by a host along the lines of Robert Osborne. The film contains many camp elements and is considered a B-movie.[4]
The film has received positive reviews from The Dollar Bin Horror Blog and Oh-The-Horror.com. Rhonny Rheaper of Dollar Bin Horror Blog called the film "A ton of fun to watch..entertaining as hell!"[5] Brett G of Oh-The-Horror praised Burleson for creating a stylish film and commended him for working well within a very limited budget, noting, "I enjoy this kind of stuff because I like to see enthusiasm shine through; it does here in spades."[6]
In April 2011, the film was shown on the internet version of Creature Feature which is hosted by Count Gore De Vol.[7]
The Nobodies
[edit]In 2011, Burleson started working on a feature film titled The Nobodies, which combines pseudo-documentary sequences about the making of a fictitious low-budget horror film with sequences from the horror movie in question. The B-horror/comedy portions are shot on VHS. The film stars Lane Hughes (You're Next), Bill Pacer, Hannah Hughes (V/H/S/2), Neva Howell (Superman), and Danny Vinson. The Nobodies premiered in 2017 at the Sidewalk Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize for Best Alabama Film.[8][9]
