“Road to Moloch” is an incredibly scary supernatural action-horror short film by filmmaker Robert Glickert. In recent times, not surprisingly, there have been a number of feature-length horror films set in contemporary war hot-spots, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. But what those films set out to do in 90-odd minutes, Glickert’s “Road to Moloch” manages to accomplish in 16-minutes, and with considerable force.
While on a mission to locate three missing American soldiers, a team of reconnaissance marines encounters a blood-spattered Iraqi stumbling through the desert. After following the distraught man into the depths of an insurgent cave, the marines make some horrifying discoveries that bring them face-to-face with what may be the home of ancient evil incarnate. Playing around with the cliches of action and horror movies, “Road to Moloch” manages to be a highly entertaining piece of filmmaking, if you can withstand the splatter and carnage.
This piece presents a number of color photographs from the film, as well as the incredible, addictive action-horror short film, “Road to Moloch.”

Hi devtank,
Could be scary to some I think, but note that I also described it for some others as "playing around with the cliches of action and horror movies," suggesting that some viewers would see it from a different perspective (as you did). Thanks for your comments!
Best wishes to you.

..oh dear..
Here I was thinking that this actually might be "incredibly" scary flick, but its not.
its great work, I commend all film makers especially indy, but this doesn't command the language used here to promote it.
Its good fun flick very well executed, but scary its not. - 2 years ago
