True Crime Film 'Rogue Agent' Hunts Down A Dangerous Conman This August

True Crime Film ‘Rogue Agent’ Hunts Down A Dangerous Conman This August

From directors, Declan Lawn, who spent 10 years as an investigative reporter for BBC, and Photo Journalist Adam Patterson, comes a twisted tale of murder and deceit, Rogue Agent, starring James Norton (“Happy Valley,” Little Women) and Gemma Arterton (The Girl With All the Gifts, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters). Rogue Agent, based on a true story, “is the extraordinary and chilling story of career conman, Robert Freegard played by James Norton, with Gemma Arterton as Alice Archer, the woman who brought him down. Freegard was a master manipulator who convinced countless victims he was undercover MI5 to extort and kidnap them. He was at large for many years until he met the woman who would end his career. Initially falling for his charms, she became the architect of his downfall, and her actions led to his conviction and arrest.

'They/Them' Star Darwin Del Fabro Talks Horror And LBGTQ+ Pride

‘They/Them’ Star Darwin Del Fabro Talks Horror And LBGTQ+ Pride

The LBGTQ+ horror film They/Them is headed your way. Ahead of its premiere, I sat down with actor and musician Darwin del Fabro to discuss not only the film’s horrors but also Darwin’s character, Gabriel, and the importance of LBGTQ+ films. The movie, pronounced “they-slash-them,” is set at a conversion camp, as if that isn’t scary enough, “Several queer and trans campers join Whistler for a week of programming intended to ‘help them find a new sense of freedom.’ As the camp’s methods become increasingly more psychologically unsettling, the campers must work together to protect themselves. Things get even more dangerous when a mysterious killer starts claiming victims.” Written and directed by “Penny Dreadful’s” John Logan, the slasher also stars Kevin Bacon, Anna Chlumsky, Carrie Preston, Theo Germaine, Quei Tann, Austin Crute, and Monique Kim. Kelli: “So did you get your start in theater? I noticed on your website that you’ve had a lot of work in theater, a lot

Movie Review: Disaster Movie 'Shattered Earth' Isn't A Disaster

Movie Review: Disaster Movie ‘Shattered Earth’ Isn’t A Disaster

Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fans of disaster thrillers just can’t get enough of the action and the destruction. The truth is, we just don’t get enough high-quality movies with good stories. But once in a while, we actually get one worth watching. My interest peaked a couple of weeks ago when I reported on the Chinese-made disaster movie Shattered Earth. I In the film, a peaceful town turns into a living hell when a devastating earthquake is triggered, causing buildings to tumble and sinkholes to open. A retired railway soldier and his son, an explosives engineer, travel deep into a cave to rescue trapped survivors. However, a second terrifying quake is just hours away, threatening to bury the whole town in a massive landslide. We’ve got films that include every natural disaster, but we’ve never gotten a film of this magnitude about an earthquake that caused a landslide, which is the major threat. It’s nice to see something new. The film

'Squeal' Trailer Teases That A Little Piggy Should Have Stayed Home

‘Squeal’ Trailer Teases That A Little Piggy Should Have Stayed Home

From director Aik Karapetian comes the dark horror-comedy Squeal, written by the director and Aleksandr Rodionov. The trailer has arrived teasing that a little piggy should have stayed home. The dark fairy tale centers on Samuel (Kevin Janssens), who is far from home, searching for his father. Lost in remotest Eastern Europe, on the edges of a mythical forest, a minor road accident leads to a chance meeting with a pig farmer’s daughter Kirke (Laura Siliņa). Sam soon learns that his priorities must change if he wants to survive. Her initial hospitality is a smoke screen to capture him and make him a forced laborer on the farm. Alone, unable to speak the language, and chained up 24/7 with the pigs, he learns to adapt. Fortunately, a seemingly magical piglet gains Sam’s confidence and shows him the way to freedom and true love. The film, which was an official selection at Fantastic Fest (2022), stars Kevin Janssens, Laura Siliņa, Aigars

Based On The Cult Hit, "Heathers: The Musical" Is Coming To Roku!

Based On The Cult Hit, “Heathers: The Musical” Is Coming To Roku!

I love musicals as much as the next person, but add horror into it, and I’m in! Roku has just announced it will exclusively bring a live capture of the stage adaptation of the hit West End musical “Heathers: The Musical,” based on one of the greatest cult teen films of all time, 1989’s Heathers, to The Roku Channel. Andy Fickman directs the musical, with book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe. Fickman, Murphy and O’Keefe will also produce. The special is also produced by Village Roadshow Pictures (VRP) and Bill Kenwright’s BKStudios. The musical was filmed at The Other Palace, where it started its U.K. journey in 2018. Originally produced by Bill Kenwright & Paul Taylor Mills, it grew its initial cult following and became a box office record-breaker, ultimately transferring to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a sold-out limited run later that year. The production then returned to the Haymarket for another successful West End

Blu-ray Review: The Necro Files (1997)

Blu-ray Review: The Necro Files (1997)

Beginning with that ol’ razzle-dazzle of full-frontal nudity, Matt Jaissle’s The Necro Files (hahaha, clever!) begins moistly with a woman being harassed during shower time by a masked assailant (Issac Cooper)… and his mask bears a swastika, just to let us know he’s evil… which is good because the murder/sexual assault and graphic dismemberment left me wondering. It’s double penetration like you seldom see these days, and it’s a mess, so showering was a moot point… Anyway, after being killed while already apprehended by the police, some masked Satanists resurrect that sex-crazed psycho from the grave by murdering a baby (doll) that is the result of one of his past sex crimes… a move they soon regret as the resulting dick removing rampage really puts a crimp in some of that kooky cult’s style! Having escaped the zombie rampage, two of the cult members are scared straight and decide to use a counter spell to put that zesty zombie, now
