“Well shot, well acted, and well directed. It has a good story with plenty of atmosphere, as well as just enough humor and sex.” — Living Dead Reviews A group of greedy investors is unaware that the junkyard they plan to turn into a profitable parking structure sits atop a mass Native American burial ground—but they will soon find themselves greeted by a maniacal killer, David Taggart, who lives in the junkyard. Known by his ancient tribe as the “Protector,” a dark figure who scavenges in search of human flesh, David will stop at nothing to protect Mother Earth, avenge the atrocities of his ancestors, and quench his insatiable need to feed! Amazing sound quality lifts this film above and beyond others of its kind.

“Eloquent, original, and deeply felt, Vindication is a total vindication for filmmaking the old fashioned way … what a real horror movie looks and feels like.” — Clive Barker “It’s made with brains, beauty, and balls, giving audiences sick of gutless studio ripoffs a taste of what a real horror movie looks and feels like.”

— Fangoria Bart Mastronardi’s feature-length psychological horror movie, based on his short of the same title, is a multi award-winning morality tale about a young man whose guilt manifests into reality! When Nicolas Bertram’s suicide attempt fails, it sends the confused young man on a path of self-discovery filled with terror, madness, and horror when his guilty conscience manifests into reality, showing no mercy unless Nicolas accepts the truth of who he really is.

Starring Raine Brown (Barricade, Angel’s Blade: Ascension), Alan Rowe Kelly, and Billy Archiello.

In this 1985 performance, which also features Red Mitchell and John Louis Rassinfosse, he allows a rare, insightful glimpse into the artistry that propelled him to fame.
