Here are some kind words from reviewers about THE EDGE OF REALITY:
" If you like TALES FROM THE CRYPT, TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE and other such anthologies, Joe Bagnardi's EDGE OF REALITY is sure to please... ...we were thrilled to see it proven that a great homage film to such a beloved era can be made on a low budget... How refreshing! Now this is filmmaking we like to see." - themonsterclub.com
" The directing and writing of the stories were great. The directing was sharp and it showed through the style of shots and camera angles used."
- The Horror Review
" THE EDGE OF REALITY gives us just what we've been lacking since they quit making the Twilight Zone episodes... ...better than one would expect with the sound quality good and a great picture. But that has a lot to do with the nice editing job of Kirkendall. THE EDGE OF REALITY is a must see for any fan of old Twilight Zone or Night Gallery episodes. All around, an excellent flick for the horror genre." - Unspeakable Magazine
(Click here to read the full archived movie review from Unspeakable Magazine - PDF format)
" ...I was not disappointed. In the tradition of The Outer Limits, Night Gallery and the eternal Twilight Zone, The Edge of Reality presents us with creepy setting, eerie stories and some of the darkest humor you can imagine... All in all, an excellent way to spend an hour or so. It is also an excellent teaching tool for new filmmakers." - PenguinComics.net
About the "Dead Man" segment:
" I really liked this one. The setting was perfect, the actors did their jobs competently and the special effects, while minimal were very well done... Use what you have on hand, and make it look right and work. In DEAD MAN, Director Joe Bagnardi did just that." - PenguinComics.net
" The first story, DEAD MAN was our favorite. It's sheer creepiness when a sheriff's body won't stay buried... despite a number of attempts..."
- themonsterclub.com
About "The Maze" segment:
" THE MAZE was wonderfully suspenseful, yet harked back to a TWILIGHT ZONE "style lesson in morality" type tale."
- themonsterclub.com

Here are some kind words from reviewers about Polonia Brothers Entertainment's JURASSIC PREY:
"For the uninitiated, Mark Polonia is the king of SOV... Kirkendall is superb here, with his character trading on a career defining role as Kid Crackshot on the lame-o TV show Crack Commandos twenty-five years ago... At just over an hour, Jurassic Prey is a brisk and enjoyable venture into modern-day regional filmmaking." - DTV Junkyard (#98)
"...Jurassic Prey is more of the same cheesy fun that you’ve come to expect! Surprisingly, Jurassic Prey has some fantastic stop-motion dinosaur effects... It might not be for everyone but I had a LOT of fun watching Jurassic Prey (as I have done with other recent Mark Polonia films released in the UK)." - Nerdly
"If nothing else, this movie has made me very curious to see more films by Mark Polonia and his crew. Careful, or you too may fall prey to Polonia's spell..." - John Migliore, indiehorroronline (blog)
"Jurassic Prey just might be my new favorite @PoloniaBros_Ent film, holy shit this was awesome.” - @FreddsCorner, Tweet on 12/27/21

- Tim O'Donnell - Vimeo-On-Demand review 12/11/17
"Overall I really loved this one and think it is one of the best entries in the series hands down. Polonia once again shows why he is one of the greatest SOV filmmakers..." - SOVHORROR.COM
Here are some kind words from reviewers about Polonia Brothers Entertainment's EMPIRE OF THE APES:
"Hee hee, ha ha haaa! Listen, sure it's a low budget B-Movie BUT--it actually beats Tim Burton's Step-Child of the Classic Ape Movies easily! Even the New Movie Series doesn't possess half the fun of an all-female starship of galactic babes! Pure fun, Retro-laden nostalgic goodness! (Available on eBay too!) "Get your D***N dirty paws off me, you stinkin' apes!" - prince everlove - YouTube comment December 2017.
"Trask was the stand out. Jeff Kirkendall was fun to watch and a really great performance."
- Phil Herman - Writer, Producer & Director (about Empire of the Apes and the sequel Revolt of the Empire of the Apes).
"The Polonia Brothers have done it again...they made a film we will love." - Zisi Emporium for B Movies
Here are some kind words from reviewers about Polonia Brothers Entertainment's REVOLT OF THE EMPIRE OF THE APES:
"As far as Planet of the Apes knock-offs go, Revolt of the Empire of the Apes is pretty wonderful. It's very very rare that I'm not happy with a Mark Polonia movie, so it should come as no shock to me that I liked it. Jeff Kirkendall stole the show as always!"
- Seb Godin - Actor, Writer & Producer
"Jeff Kirkendall is a stand out and a joy to watch."
- Phil Herman - Writer, Producer & Director
FROZEN SASQUATCH (2018) (Horror) - Scientists and doctors hunt and capture one of the elusive snow Sasquatch creatures. A serum perfected by the scientists makes the Sasquatch grow to gargantuan size and the team must fight the snow monster to the death and save the world.
Here are some kind words from reviewers about Polonia Brothers Entertainment's FROZEN SASQUATCH:
"Watched Mark Polonia's new movie Frozen Sasquatch and really enjoyed it! Solid micro-budget creature feature fun. My one big complaint? It needed more Jeff Kirkendall!" - Seb Godin - Actor, Writer & Producer
"FROZEN SASQUATCH is a different approach about the legend of the Yeti... Character actor Jeff Kirkendall and all around fun person lends his talents as one of the scientists experimenting on these legendary creatures... This is not another Sasquatch on a rampage movie, but a movie with more development focused on the Sasquatch and its origins. It’s not what you expect and will be surprised. I like Mark Polonia movies he pays homage to classic flicks and applies a 70’s feel to them. He does not take himself seriously and in turn gives us entertaining fun movies." - Amazon customer 7/22/18
"Mark Polonia has cranked out more micro-budget movies than just about anyone on the planet, and Frozen Sasquatch is a solid and welcome entry into his canon. The story of people investigating a troubled and abandoned research base draws some parallels to the plot of The Thing, and the reveal of the creatures origin at the end is unexpected and a ton of fun.
Special mention should be made here to Titus Himmelberger and Natalie Hallead, who do a great job carrying the movie. Polonia regulars Steve Diasparra, Jeff Kirkendall, and Jaimie Morgan all pop in and deliver fun performances as well.
These kinds of micro-budget movies aren’t for everyone, but for those who enjoy these kinds of movies, this is a totally fun monster adventure. One of Mark Polonia’s best recent movies for producer David Sterling. If you like to have fun while you watch movies, you’ll have a blast!" - Amazon customer 7/24/18
"Frozen Sasquatch" is the newest production from filmmakers Mark Polonia and David Sterling. With a fun, B-movie plot and a neat looking creature, this is a fun popcorn movie from beginning to end. Polonia does a nice job capturing the suspense and his cast, including film veteran Jeff Kirkendall, all give energetic performances. Looking forward to seeing what else Polonia and Sterling have in the pipeline."
- Amazon customer 7/21/18
"It's ambitious, fun, creative and has furry monsters and a bit of blood. Perfect for switching off the real world for awhile and enjoying a film like you used to as a kid when you stayed up past your bedtime. ...Cast regular for these films, Jeff Kirkendall, makes an appearance and it's solid as always." - Free and Indie Cinema Movie Reviews
"This one was fun. If you dig low budget movies then I say check this one out." - Gutmunchers Lives
"Kudos to the Polonia brothers and the fine cast in delivering a very entertaining horror film." - Zisi Emporium for B Movies
Here are some kind words from reviewers about JB Productions' PROJECT D: CLASSIFIED:
"Jeff Kirkendall does an excellent job in his role of Astronaut Brent Taylor. His first appearance is very sympathetic and he carries that through most of the film. ...For the most part the core cast is pretty solid with Jeff Kirkendall, as I mentioned, giving a stand out performance as the sympathetic man made monster. ...So, a familiar but CLASSIC story with some neat modern twists, a mixed bag of acting, f/x and action and a sense of self-aware humor throughout. What more can you ask for?" - Free and Indie Cinema Movie Reviews
ALIEN SURVEILLANCE (2018) (Sci-Fi / Horror) - An alien invasion is caught in the surveillance cameras of an office building during a weekend work party.

Here are some comments from other independent filmmakers:
" Jeff Kirkendall continues his trend of spinning gothic tales of bloodlust, secrets and vampiric confrontation in this, his worthy, second feature film. The dedication behind The Temptress is amazing. We look forward to seeing what Very Scary Productions produces next. "
~ The Masucci Brothers, Fountainhead Pictures
" I liked it! Production wise impressive. You really pushed the envelope with digital video... The film was a nice twist on the vampire genre... I like your tongue in cheek style... It reminds me of the classic "An American Werewolf In London". - Brandon Bethmann - Co-Director of "Raising Hell"
And here are some comments from folks who purchased The Temptress Special Edition DVD or viewed the movie on Amazon Video / Prime:
" I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know how much I loved your film The Temptress! The story was new and original, the camera work flowed from one scene to the next and the acting was all very good.

- Ryan Reading, Letterboxd.com
"Good short film, minimal locations, tiny budget but does a good job conveying a really interesting story. I had a few good laughs with the dialogue. It was just the right amount of double entendres to keep it funny without beating it to death. Good performances for low budget fare especially Delores who's reaction to talking to a supernatural severed head was really good. All in all a very enjoyable little horror short..." - se13an, Letterboxd.com

They're badass & so was this flick. Mark has been on a constant roll & he keeps it up here." - Andrew Roby, Letterboxd.com
"Lots of Polonia regulars and a hefty dose of gore make this a pretty damn fun and breezy 73 minutes.The mask the killer wears is actually really awesome and Jeff Kirkendall wields a weapon in the appropriately menacing sort of way." - Tony the Terror, Letterboxd.com

Here are some kind words from reviewers about Polonia Brothers Entertainment's RETURN TO SPLATTER FARM:
"The fact that Return to Splatter Farm is a more serious film also means, for me, that it’s one of Mark Polonia’s best films. Honestly, if this had come out in the 80s this film would, today, be looked upon with fondness like a myriad of that era’s slashers are... Return to Splatter Farm is a GREAT slasher movie. It may be low-budget but that doesn’t stop the film from being packed with fantastic ideas and tons of gore! ...A superb sequel to the 1987 original, Return to Splatter Farm is a fitting tribute to a beloved SOV classic and a damn fine movie in its own right. Best of all, you don’t really have to have seen the original to enjoy this slice of slasher terror! " - Nerdly.co.uk

Mark Polonia and Jeff Kirkendall definitely did a good job with this! " - SOVHorror.com

"You can tell from Kirkendall’s script that he’s a slasher fan and there are some exceptional kill scenes here.

You did real damn good! " - Tony the Terror, Letterboxd.com

"It really brings honour to the Dracula legacy. I love how it merges Dracula and Sharknado. I like the bit with the Sharkula."
- alfie mcenearney - Internet
“ From start to finish it’s nothing but Hollywood level acting and CGI, whoever picked the cast needs a promotion and the same goes for whichever freak made the props (including Sharkula himself). I had to check who the director was at the end because with a twist like that I thought it had to be M Night. Can’t praise this enough and tonight I’ll be sleeping with the lights on and windows shut to keep myself safe from that flying tumour.” #JusticeForRenfield" - Jordan Owens - Internet
