Monochrome is an upcoming action thriller from the UK and the good people at Devilworks. Writer/director Thomas Lawes gives us a unique version of the all too common game of cat and mouse involving a young lady on the run (Jo Woodcock), and the investigator (Cosmo Jarvis) who tracks the bloody trail she leaves behind. […]
I just watched the latest offering from Uncork’d Entertainment, called The Nursery. Written by Christopher A. Micklos, and directed by both Micklos and Jay Sapiro, I got excited by the teaser trailer for this film when I laid eyes on it, and immediately jumped on it when the screener became available. So, after watching The […]
Hollywood is more about restaurants than marquees. Most wannabe actors make their jing slinging hash and waiting tables, not emoting before the cameras. Acting gigs are scarce and the competition is fierce. And then there’s the matter of who you know. As buddy Sam (voice of Brad Gage) says in a call to aspiring thespian […]
In House on Elm Lake an unsuspecting family moves into a lake house that had been abandoned due to a terrible act of violence that occurred there years earlier. Of course, as angry spirits are wont to do, the evil awakens when the new homeowners move in. This storyline is played out (some may say […]
From the creative mind of writer/director, Elias (Gut, Dark, The Horror of H.P. Lovecraft), and the fine folks at The October People, comes a weird tale of grief and loss called Ayla. I was interested in this film from the get-go as I’d seen that the cast included horror favorites such as Dee Wallace (The […]
Chimera is an ambitious dark sci-fi film written and directed by Maurice Haeems.

The story follows brilliant-but-troubled scientist Quint (Henry Ian Cusick) as he struggles to cure the rare genetic disorder […]

I’m talking about Angus Macfadyen (Braveheart, TV’s Turn) and Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Aliens, Tombstone), a pair of screen veterans who certainly didn’t need the paltry paycheck from this $300,000 pile […]
Spring has sprung, and with it comes a favorite holiday. Can you guess which one I’m talking about? No, not Easter, but it does have to do with grass. Of course, I can only be reefer-ing (see what I did there?) to the much-loved, much-celebrated 420! I know most of you already have your traditions […]
A relationship breakup is a bad day by anyone’s standards, but for volatile Nick (Danny Miller), it’s more like lighting a fuse on a powder keg. He’s getting the boot so someone else is paying the price. And so begins Cruel Summer, a disturbing little film — just 80 minutes — by promising newcomers Phillip […]

The thought of the familiar becoming unfamiliar is a universal nightmare; the biology you depended on for everyday living turning into the engine of your destruction. The most common name we use to describe this biological rebellion is cancer. Cancer seems […]
