REVIEWS
- “Twisted... Simple and effective”
EVIL DREAD - “Michael Dunn’s stunningly shot (in HD), enigmatic and profoundly disturbing THE BET [is] a metaphysical abduction drama worthy of David Lynch himself.”
CITY LIFE - “It’s rare to see a first-time director arrive on scene with all his aesthetic ducks in a row. With THE BET, Michael Dunn enters just that way, with a vibrant vision in a carefully crafted and intriguing philosophical horror worth its weight in unspoken themes. Through the prism of social commentary, THE BET distills moral quandary with undercurrents of righteous violence.”
SHORT END MAGAZINE - “A good horror thriller”
MOVIES ONLINE - “Acting in the film was top-notch... Well-paced, intelligent, eerie and intriguing... An ending that left me awestruck”
FATALLY YOURS - “Felt very much like a really good David Lynch film... An intelligent, original and well woven story... Michael Dunn [will be] mentioned in the same breath as Cronenberg and Lynch. He’s that talented and this movie really is that good!”
GOREHOUNDS UNITE! - “Unsettling... Truly brilliant... Great acting, directing and plot.”
HORROR REVIEWS - “A grimy and interesting trip”
HORROR MOVIES - “Visually impressive... Viewers need to pay attention and think in order to fully understand, or at least attempt to interpret what’s happening to The Girl.”
HORROR ASYLUM - “Dark and eerie”

A Novel by Michael Dunn
Based on a Screenplay by Michael Dunn & Chris Smith
A new vision of dramatic horror from Michael Dunn, the author of BEAUTIFUL, filled with suspense, terror and—unexpectedly—romance and featuring passages of experimental typography, DETOX is a unique experience in storytelling.
The age-old story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy tries to get girl back, but the boy is a bi-polar alcoholic, the girl is a heroin addict, and the plan to get her back involves kidnapping and ketamine—and an insistent nosy neighbor hell-bent on getting into the house. As the withdrawal mounts, Mat forgets his meds, forcing Julia to fight to survive against bad trips, Mat’s downward spiral and a mysterious watchman who haunts the gloom, while Mat unwittingly risks her life to win her back.

SUFFER
Collected Works by Michael Dunn
From a period spanning 15 years, the works herein were a way of exorcising the emotions and thoughts that would have poisoned from the inside. Now, they are collected and presented for the public. Understand, though, these stories were never meant for anyone else. Whether the setting is a desolate apartment building, a porno set or an everyday high school, it’s still a world from the imagination of Michael Dunn. His characters, often struggling to survive even an ordinary life, are thrust into unusually grim situations which test their ability to adapt. The short stories and poems included in this anthology are dark and disturbing, but—at times—funny and insightful. And even inspirational, despite their bleakness. To find the light in the dark is to know how to not be afraid.

THE BET
The Screenplay and Short Story by Michael Dunn & Chris Smith
In the hallway of a derelict building, a young woman is dumped and left. She is bound and gagged. Alone. The door on the opposite side of
the hallway opens. Another man drags her away and into his room.
One minute. That’s the rule. One minute in each room.
As each of the two men wait for the minute to pass, biding their time in their unique way, they reveal more about the truth behind the game. And, slowly, the young woman will understand where she is and why she’s there.
The screenplay for THE BET by Michael Dunn & Chris Smith, available for the first time, is presented with the original short story by Michael Dunn. Together, they provide a unique insight into a moral tale, different in each medium, yet each with a strikingly powerful message. Includes stills from the film.
