Bruce Campbell Talks Life After Ash And Much More In An Interview

Bruce Campbell, that’s a name every horror fan knows. The writer/actor/director/producer has been involved in so many iconic films and series. One of the jewels in his crown is The Evil Dead franchise in which he plays the unforgettable character Ashley “Ash” Williams. His “Ash vs Evil Dead” series premiered back in 2015 on Starz, giving us three seasons of Ash, along with his deadite fighting sidekicks Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) and Pablo (Ray Santiago) as well as the sometimes evil Ruby (Lucy Lawless). Fans were heartbroken to learn earlier this year that “Ash vs Evil Dead” wouldn’t return for a fourth season. Soon Bruce announced that Ash had been permanently retired, leaving fans to wonder what was next for the one-of-a-kind, suave, badass. When I had the opportunity to talk with Bruce I jumped at the chance (and with excitement) to find out what is next for our favorite leading man and ask a few questions that I’ve always wanted

Hypnotic ‘Luz’ Trailer Unveiled Ahead Of U.S. Premiere

German writer-director Tilman Singer makes his feature debut with LUZ, starring breakout actress Luana Velis as the title character.

Sebastian Gutierrez Tells Us About ‘Elizabeth Harvest’ And More In An Interview

Sebastian Gutierrez’s gem of a thriller, Elizabeth Harvest, will soon arrive in theaters and On Demand. Ahead of its release, I had the opportunity to talk with Gutierrez, the same man behind Gothika, Snakes on a Plane, The Eye, and Girl Who Walks Into a Bar, about his new visually striking film that has more twists than a Slinky factory. Abby Lee stars as Elizabeth, a young newlywed who arrives at her new husband’s (Cirán Hinds) home. He explains to her that everything that is his now belongs to her – all except for a locked room he forbids her to enter. When he goes on a trip she can’t resist entering the room, but when she does, her whole life comes crashing down. Sebastian: “Elizabeth Harvest is an old-fashioned European horror. Don’t you think?” Horror Fuel: “I do. It has a similar feel as the original Suspiria.” Sebastian: “It’s influenced by Dario Argento. There was a strain of horror
