A First Look At Rene Perez’s Horror-Western ‘Legend Of Hawes’

Saddle up, we’re heading out west for the horror-western Legend of Hawes, from genre director Rene Perez, the filmmaker behind Once Upon a Time in Deadwood, Cry Havoc, and The Insurrection. We got the first images that tease an action-packed film. In the film, “A mountain homestead is attacked by a raiding party made up of ravenous marauders. The lone survivor, a beautiful young woman hires a dangerous Gunman to help her track and exact revenge on the marauders. Together they trek to a forbidding mountain only to find that the savage marauders have a deadly secret.” Currently filming in California at the Hawes Ranch, the indie film stars Emily Whitcomb, Mike Markoff, and veteran actor Richard Tyson. We’ll let you know when a release date is announced.

Movie Review: At Night Comes Wolves (2021)

Director TJ Marine’s At Night Comes Wolves is headed towards its release. Here are my thoughts on the movie about a cult. Right off to bat we meet a couple, Leah and her husband Daniel. We are given reason after reason to dislike Daniel whose dutiful wife will do anything to please him. She gets to her breaking point and just walks away from her life and her asshole of a husband. She meets a young woman who leads her to her Guru/cult leader, and things quickly unravel as secrets are revealed. The lead character played by Gabi Alves is left lacking. She has very few lines and mostly just mopes around the entire movie, which is not the fault of the actress. There’s also very little character development for her, which is a shame. I think the film was meant to speak out against misogyny and mistreatment, yet when the main character gets out of an abusive relationship she

Review: Amazon's Series "Them" Hits You Like A Sledgehammer

Review: Amazon’s Series “Them” Hits You Like A Sledgehammer

“Them,” set in the 1950s, centers on a black family who moves from their home in North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighborhood during a period known as “The Great Migration.” The family’s new idyllic home soon becomes ground zero for racial prejudice, malevolent otherworldly forces, and other evils that threaten to ravage and destroy them. Honestly, I didn’t make it through the premiere episode on my first try. I couldn’t finish it. I was left emotional and heartbroken. It took me several days to try again, this time I lasted through the end of the premiere and two more episodes before I folded and gave up again. My heart couldn’t take it. A day or two later, I was determined to see it through. I was left angry and depressed, and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Billed as a horror series, the show is more about the horrors African Americans have faced than about scares
