Between Dada and D'Amato

I must be real, I'm in a book called "Fervid Filmmaking!"  I am mentioned in the article about Sex Machine, a movie I co-wrote with Christopher Sharpe, reviewed in this tome featuring "cult pictures of vision, verve, and no self-restraint" (and I can attest that I have at least one of those).  This book does state that I am a novelist, so I wonder if they got me confused with the actual author John Dalton?

This is conspicuously sitting on my coffee table, in case you come by.  Until later I am at johnoakdalton@hotmail.com.

ARMY OF WOLVES (2013) World Premiere


Deep behind enemy lines, a new war has begun  As the story goes, the Nazis turned to occult-based experiments during the waning years of WWII in an effort to thwart the Allied forces through unorthodox means.  The successful Lycanthropy Experiment was one such experiment, an attempt to breed an army of gun-toting werewolves, but the whole thing went horribly wrong as a group of American soldiers will soon discover.

Filmed amongst the rugged landscape of Central PA (Germania, Ansonia, and Morris to be precise) back in 2005 by the Polonias alongside frequent collaborator Jon McBride (WOODCHIPPER MASSACRE), additional footage has since been shot and the film has been re-edited into its current and final incarnation.  Filled with regional actors, strange visual effects, and inventive camera work (wolf-cam!), Army of Wolves is a real treat for low-budget horror fans and the cinematic adventurous.


If that doesn't appeal, you can still see me getting legit machine-gunned in the face in the trailer here.

This movie has been rattling around for a long time.  Check out some thoughts on it here.
