FEATURING:

Dante Tomaselli has been quoted as saying: "For as long as I can recall, I've always been drawn to the macabre. Even as a child, I knew that I wanted to one day become a magician/parapsychologist horror filmmaker."

Born in Paterson, New Jersey on October 29, 1969, Tomaselli received formal training in filmmaking, art and design, as well as advertising copywriting at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and Manhattan's New York School of Visual Arts. Desecration (1996), his first short film, received instantaneous acclaim for its nightmarish visuals. The 23-minute supernatural chiller would be selected for presentation at such renowned international film festivals as the New York Angelika Film Center's IFFM, South Beach Florida Film Festival, Berlin Interfilm Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival, San Francisco Troubadours Film Festival, and the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Quebec. Tomaselli expanded Desecration, which he also wrote, to feature-length. And in 1999, the film received its world premiere to a standing-room-only audience at the prestigious Fantafestival in Rome.

DESECRATION (1999) Image Entertainment

HORROR (2002) Elite Entertainment

SATAN'S PLAYGROUND (2005) Anchor Bay Entertainment

"The director achieves impressive overall results...Richly atmospheric exercise in surreal horror...complex music/ambient audio design...beautifully menacing photography...Tomaselli creates a hyper-real atmosphere of striking primal-fear images, cackling lunacy, impending doom and grotesque humor...Belying very modest means, Tomaselli has delivered a design and tech package that's first-rate."

--Variety Magazine (7/10/2005)

"Gothic surrealism...Horror can't help but impress with its lush, unsettling textural confidence, rich in atmosphere...distinctly ominous..."

--Variety Magazine (3/23/2003)

"Like the best works of Mario Bava, Dario Argento or their young U.S. inheritor Dante Tomaselli, "The Abandoned" works best as a macabre fever dream..."

--Variety Magazine (3/11/2007)

"Enormously promising...wildly ambitious...visually striking, not to mention genuinely creepy. Originality really does count, a lesson lost on many genre filmmakers but which Tomaselli clearly took to heart."

--Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide

"A satisfying, creepy, and creative trip into hallucinogenic terror...There is no denying the power, the unnerving success of Tomaselli's visual style. For anyone wanting to see a distinctive, compelling and occasionally brilliant work, this terror head trip is one to experience."

--DvdVerdict.com

"There's been a dismaying recent trend in horror movies away from imaginative terror and into literal torture. I prefer the creepy atmospherics, perversities, and fantasticism of horror films that suggest the mind is the scariest place of all. They're getting harder to find. Fortunately, surreal horror has a major US champion in Dante Tomaselli. Mario Bava and Dario Argento would doubtless approve."

--San Francisco Bay Guardian

"The aptly titled "Horror" is a great Halloween movie...Tomaselli builds up his own brand of creepy suspense...He has the skills to create a horrific atmosphere for his characters to wander around, through masterful camerawork, an eerie score and above average performances from his cast."

--Film Threat

"This movie immerses you in a disturbingly cryptic vision of hell on earth unlike any you've seen before. Remember the name Dante Tomaselli: he is one of the most important new voices in horror filmmaking."

--The Aisle Seat

"If you've got the hardware to make it happen, do yourself a favor and watch the film with the 5.1 track turned way up as this is a really nice, aggressive, atmospheric mix. Satan's Playground is one of the better and more creative low budget features to come out in some time."

--DvdTalk.com

"What makes Horror so frightening is the sense of dread that oozes from the surreal, nightmarish atmosphere...A trancelike tapestry of images and sounds that's completely mesmerizing..."

--Flipsidemovies.com

"Tomaselli paints a surreal canvas of hallucinatory imagery...Right from the sepia-toned opening sequence, the image is filled with meticulous lighting and detail which goes far in establishing a mood. Desecration is heads above contemporary independent horror releases."

--DvdCult.com

"In the film "Horror," Dante Tomaselli invites you to enter a disturbing and surreal world of hopelessness and fear."

--Einsiders.com

"A storybook fairy tale on acid...strange sounds and spooky atmosphere...There's a psychic lash of pain in the way Tomaselli shows violence. His movies are taut and fast, careening along with the camera as stand-in for supernatural force and oppressive dread. Satan's Playground announces filmmaker Dante Tomaselli as a horror talent to watch out for."

--Slant Magazine

"Tomaselli makes excellent use of shadows and sets and mixes it all up with some great lighting and a lot of extremely sinister symbolism...a unique and impressively creepy experience that won't soon leave you."

--DvdManiacs.net

"Outstanding visual flair...breathtaking. Tomaselli uses his camera like an artist uses his brush and the results are spectacular. I can't stress enough that you should seek out this film and see a talented director doing his thing before he makes it big. We are going to be talking about Dante Tomaselli for many years to come."

--Houseofhorrors.com

"Desecration conjures up textures not seen since the era of classic Eurohorror and without question, is one of the last decade's best horror pictures."

--DvdAuthority.com
