So... this is interesting...


"Dear Erik Harshman,

Thank you for allowing us to review and consider your project "Personal
Demons".

Please find our response below.

Response: This is a pass for us, because; Needs a higher concept (missing
irony/wow factor…).

Comment: Sorry but this is not the kind of content we are looking for..

Best Regards,

This is such trendy Hollywood talk, it makes me sick.

I just think of that scene in Bowfinger of Steve Martin's character sitting in that trendy L.A. bistro with Robert Downey, Jr.'s high-end producer character and all the show biz lingo they throw around.

Pathetic.

Especially since I submitted to Millennium based purely on their making of the Expendables movies (which were good throwback 80's-90's action entertainment, but nothing more... saw all three of them at the drive-in, where movies like that should be seen), but what was the "high concept" and "irony/wow" factor there?
It seems like those movies were built on the gimmick of a slew of 80's-90's action stars all getting together.

Also, Millennium Films made the following horror films:

• Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D (pretty good, actually...)
• Leatherface (2017... which was abysmal).
• Red Lights (decent, but forgettable)
• Hellboy (the 2019 film... which looks good, but could be a trainwreck, nobody knows)

Ah, well.

They're a small company.

What do they know?

More than me, apparently.

Although they did go bankrupt in 2016, even after they'd changed names (to Alchemy).

Whatever.
