SFX Magazine #197 April 2010 (issued Feb 2010)

"Celebrating a decade online this year is Shock! Horror! Probe!, a website dedicated to distributing low budget SF, fantasy and horror shorts via the web. To mark the anniversary, which makes them officially 713 in net years, creator Paul Vought and a cast built up from ten years worth of acting talent have recently released Skywatching - a mockumentary about the fictional town of Hengebarrow which exploded with close encounters of the first kind for reasons unknown in the 1960s. Made up of a series of interviews with eyewitnesses, doubters and crazy-eyed believers, it's an interesting experiment in conspiracist fantasy with a killer shaky-cam ending. Head of to the webite and you can check out over a decade's worth of uploads including short films on everything from bikini-zombies to eerie railway stations."
