Movie Review: “Sunod” (A Night of Horror International Film Festival)

Director Carlo Ledesma takes viewers on a wild ride of the supernatural in Sunod (AKA Followed; Philippines, 2019), which captured the awards for Best International Feature Film, Best Performance in an International Feature Film (Carmina Villarroel), and Best International Feature Film Director (Ledesma) at the recent A Night of Horror International Film Festival in Australia. Although the film sometimes deals in familiar fear-fare trappings, the overall result is a gripping chiller well worth a watch. Villarroel portrays Olivia, a single mother to teen daughter Anelle (Krystal Brimner) who is hospitalized with a heart condition. Olivia asserts herself, out of financial desperation, into a new night job at a call center. Her place of employment happens to be the same building that served as a hospital in the 1970s, and savvy horror movie viewers know that nothing good ever comes of being in a former hospital. Below the call center are abandoned floors. When Olivia finds herself on one of those

New Featurette Teases ‘Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City’s’ Return To Its Horror Roots

Director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night) is taking us back to Raccoon City this November with Sony’s Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City. A new featurette is here, spotlighting the movie’s return to its horror roots and teasing some of the many Easter Eggs that are to be discovered. I want fans to just look at these locations and be like wow, I’m in the game,” Roberts explains. “Capcom was super supportive. They gave us the actual blueprints, so we built the mansion and police station exactly as the game. Every frame has details – the orphanage doors, a typewriter in the background, the little herbs. It’s really fun. It’s very much for the fans.” “Returning to the terrifying roots of the massively popular franchise, fan and filmmaker Johannes Roberts brings the games of the billion-dollar franchise and the most successful video game adaptation in history to life for a whole new generation of fans.”

Product Review: Demon Wolf Ring By Serpent Forge

Product Review: Demon Wolf Ring By Serpent Forge

Whether you’re out riding your bike, attending parties, or slaying creatures of the night, it helps to have unique jewelry to hold your attire together, and no one knows unique jewelry better than Serpent Forge! Founded in 2012 in Sydney, Australia, Serpent Forge makes unique biker jewelry may it be rings, pendants, or bracelets made from 100% sterling silver and gold. I want to give a big thank you to Serpent Forge for making this review possible! The ring I got is called the Demon Wolf, quite fitting, made of silver, and looks like an awesome Werewolf, and it also reminds me of the wolf art on the poster for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The ring has some weight to it but fits amazingly comfortably on my finger and does not interfere with my finger’s movement. The amazing quality of the designs will surely grab the attention of friends and family as well as strangers as you can’t find these rings
