Jack Goes Home Is Like A Punch To The Gut – A Review

‘Jack Goes Home’, written and directed by Thomas Dekker, will arrive on VOD and Digital HD on October 14th. Rory Culkin stars as Jack, a young man whose life seems to being going great. He has a baby on the way, a good job, but his life gets turned upside down when he receives a call that his mother and father have been in a car accident and his father did not survive. Jack goes home to take care of his mother. His mother, played by horror veteran Lynn Shaye (Insidious), is a strange woman with a cold, mean streak, which Jack clearly inherited.

An Interview With Tyler Christensen Writer-Director Of House Of Purgatory

Today, I had a conversation with Tyler Christensen. We talked about a lot of things including the state of horror, his new film ‘House of Purgatory‘, and the future of film.

An Interview With Lynn Falconer Costume Designer For Ouija: Origin Of Evil

When you watch a film, the costumes are a key element. They influence how you see a character, their environment, place and time. Without the right costumes a film would be lost. One of my favorite things is to talk to people who do different things in the film industry. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with costume designer and wardrobe stylist Lynn Falconer. You might not realize it, but you have seen her work before. She most recently designed the costumes for the upcoming film ‘Ouija 2: Origin of Evil‘, but she has been involved with so many projects. Just to name a few, ‘Oculus’, ‘Before I Wake’, ‘The Frozen Ground’, ‘Silent House’, ‘Straw Dogs’, and many others. Falconer also dresses actors for various commercials for companies such as Verizon, Radio Shack and even the Super Bowl. Horror Fuel: “Have you always been interesting in fashion? Falconer: “Yes! And there is quite the documented history of it in
