E-Bowla (2018)- A New Horror/Comedy Short Film From Cindy Maples-Fitz of Horror Review
Written by Bryan Fitzgerald (Fitz of Horror) April 8, 2018
Clocking in at just under 9 minutes, E-Bowla from indie horror queen Cindy Maples establishes itself quickly and doesn’t let up. Our 4 “loving” husbands decide to spend their one guys night out this year at what seems to be the best place imaginable, the bowling alley on ladies night with an all you can eat pizza buffet. As the only 4 men there the men are feeling quite masculine and proceed to objectify and drop chauvinistic one liners one after the other in hilarious fashion. This sets the stage for these 4 gentlemen to end up getting a night they’ll never forget…..If they can make it out alive!
This horror short is the perfect example of “less is more”, I feel like if this were a feature length film that it would lose some of its charm but I do think that if given 7-10 more minutes of run time that it would fit perfectly in an anthology format.
Check out the trailer and keep an eye out for this one at upcoming festivals!

CARRIAGE HOUSE PRODUCTIONS and Director Cindy Maples will be bringing the World Premiere of E-BOWLA to Echo Lanes in Henderson, KY. The premiere is set for Friday, April 27th with two different chances to see the short film that night. The film, which is just under 9 minutes in length will be played at 7:00 pm and then again at 8:30 pm. And for this one night only, members of the audience will see a special 30 minute behind the scenes making of E-BOWLA video right before each viewing. Posters will also be available that evening and some of the stars of the film will be on hand for autographs.
E-BOWLA, which started out as a joke between Maples and her husband Rusty James has turned into one of her favorite projects to date. The short comedy/horror film focuses on ladies night at the local bowling alley and four longtime friends who decide that it’s the perfect place to enjoy their one night a year away from their wives. Unfortunately, the ladies and the pizza buffet have other ideas.
The film has already been submitted to over 30 film festivals all over the world and thanks to internet film critics the news of E-BOWLA is spreading.

I am a huge fan and supporter of independent horror and the dedicated people involved. I grew up watching all of the great slasher films of the 80s and also have a love for creature features and anthology horror. As horror fans the best way to help indie horror is to talk about it and to spread the word.
