Spoiler-Free Film Review: “Underground” 

Spoiler-Free Film Review: “Underground” 

Somewhere in director Lars Janssen’s Underground (U.K., 2023) is a good horror short, but at feature-film length, the project feels heavily padded. Ella (Maaike Tol) is about to get married, and her friends Riley (Charlotte Dawn Potter, who cowrote the screenplay with Janssen), Ziggy (Sapphire Brewer-Marchant), Claire (Nadia Dawber), and Jessica (Caitlyn Barber) are throwing her a hen party (a bachelorette party, as it is called in the U.S.), with plenty of drinking as part of the festivities. Their wacky (to this point) evening gets them kicked out of a taxi cab by the driver, and the friends are left to their own devices on a dark road in the middle of nowhere. Armed only with their smartphones, the quintet gets into further trouble when one of them falls down a hole, and the others come to her aid and find themselves trapped in a bunker. Underground starts off by introducing us to the protagonists, which at first is a

Josh Brolin Steps into the Lead for Horror Epic 'Weapons'

Josh Brolin Steps into the Lead for Horror Epic ‘Weapons’

A shift in the casting landscape has occurred for the highly anticipated horror film Weapons, written and directed by Zach Cregger (Barbarian). Josh Brolin has officially stepped in to replace Pedro Pascal (“Last of Us”) in the lead role, The Hollywood Reporter states. Originally slated to begin filming in fall 2023, production for Weapons was pushed back due to last year’s industry-wide strikes. This delay unfortunately clashed with Pascal’s commitment to Marvel’s Fantastic Four, which begins filming this summer, forcing him to step down from the project. Brolin takes the reins: Enter Josh Brolin, the acclaimed actor known for his captivating performances in films like Dune and Sicario. Brolin’s casting brings a wealth of experience and talent to the project, raising anticipation for his portrayal in this enigmatic role. A mysterious story: Weapons is described as “a multistory horror epic about the disappearance of high school students in a small town.” While much of the film is shrouded in mystery,

Movie Review: Cutting Class (1989) – MVD Rewind 4K/Blu-ray

Opening like a live-action adaptation of the classic video game Paperboy, the daily news is shown kissing pavement accompanied by the sound of a sack of bricks hittin’ a dirt road. Why do I mention it? Well One, it comes back later loud n’ proud to signify all manner of things getting tossed to the ground, and Two I found it funny as balls. What does any of that have to do with the plot synopsis of the film that usually appears ‘round these parts? Absolutely nothing. Moving on… Oh wait, yes it does… said newspapers contain a headline about a local boy being released from ye olde asylum and apparently a killing was involved… we’ll get back to that one soon, believe you me! Coincidentally, District Attorney William Carson III (Martin Mull, Clue) is murdered on a camping trip. This is of course unbeknownst to his daughter Paula, portrayed by popular late ‘80s scream queen Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather,
