“Oberst is uber-creepy. We’re talking Bill Moseley level creepy.”
Dismal (watch clips on Bill’s Horror Reel) December 2010 review at MoreHorror.com by Jason Lees Dismal: Movie Review by Jason Lees, MoreHorror DISMAL (Gary King, 2009) There are three basic types of low budget independent films. There are the small personal films that showcase the personal vision of the filmmaker. No one sees these unless they helped pay for [...]
“The unrestrained cruelty of Oberst’s performance is brash and unrelenting…as if Bill McKinney was dropped into Friday 13th”
Dismal (watch clips on Bill’s Horror Reel) December 22, 2010 review at Fangoria.com by Max Weinstein “DISMAL” (DVD REVIEW) I’d be lying if I told you I’ve never experienced a period of academic overextension at some point or another. In this regard, the predicament Dana (Lydia Chandler) faces in DISMAL (on DVD from Cinema Epoch) provided a kind [...]
“A further demented Daniel Plainview, Oberst takes wickedness to a delightful new level.”
The Princess And The Pony (watch a clip here) January, 2011 review at Observation Notes by Perry Horton The Princess and the Pony You didn’t think I was gonna skip this one, did you? You didn’t assume that just because this is a massive thematic departure for The Asylum, their first, full-on venture into family filmmaking (overlooking Sunday [...]
“Chaney, Karloff, Lugosi, Englund & Oberst”
"Oberst is on the cusp of greatness, having appeared in dozens of independent films, usually as the head baddie, and many television shows as well, namely True Blood and 1000 Ways to Die. At one point he was being looked at as the next Freddy Krueger for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Soon you'll find him getting that breakout role in a major horror flick, and we can say we got him first."
“Superbly-acted. Oberst is wonderfully frightening”

“Oberst, the one man who you would never want to meet in a dark alley, is cold as ice”
Assassins (watch the trailer here) October 25, 2011 review at Matchflick.com by Mike Thomas Movie Review by Mike October 25th, 2011 Assassins (2011): You Have the Gun, I Have the Power Favorite Movie Quote: ”Is that it?” “Sometimes, it’s just the words.

“Oberst gives himself over completely and leaves you shattered”
Assassins (watch the trailer here) October 24, 2011 review at Red Carpet Crash.com by Preston Barta “Mike Bonomo creates a spine tingling short about two assassins who meet each other at the scene of a murder. Actor Bill Oberst Jr. gives himself over completely and leaves you shattered as the pro-assassin, Nathan. Nathan decides to pass on some helpful wisdom [...]
“Oberst channels Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction”
Assassins (watch the trailer here) October 26, 2011 review at McBastard’s Mausoleum by Ken Kastenhuber ASSASSINS (2011) Rating: 4/5 “A short film. It sounds pretty easy, right? Pumping out a compressed little story in an abbreviated form with a beginning, middle and an end that’s coherent and intriguing… wait, that actually sounds kind of excruciating now that I think [...]

Assassins (watch the trailer here) October 24, 2011 review at MoreHorror.com by Jason Lees Assassins (Michael Bonomo, 2011) Review by Jason Lees, MoreHorror.com I usually start off any review of a short with my opinion on what a short film is, what they can do, and the strengths inherit in the shorter running time. Well, I no longer [...]
