IFC Midnight’s Killer Thriller ‘Watcher’ Lands On Digital This Week

This week, IFC Midnight is gearing up to release director Chloe Okuno’s chilling psychological thriller Watcher, co-written by Zach Ford. It Follows actress Maika Monroe stars alongside Karl Glusman (Love) and Burns Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises) in the film in which Julia (Maika Monroe) joins her husband (Karl Glusman) when he relocates to his family’s native Romania for a new job.

Meanwhile, a serial killer called “The Spider” stalks the city.

Movie Review: Aliens, Clowns & Geeks (2019)

Frenzied filmmaker/musician Richard Elfman’s (The Forbidden Zone) Aliens, Clowns & Geeks concerns the adventures of Eddy Pine (played by Bodhi Elfman… wonder how he got the job), an out of work actor (ain’t they all folks, aint they all… ) that finds himself in possession of the key to the universe which gets shoved up his ass after a religious-level ménage-a-trois blows his brain (and the rest of him as well) across time and space.

Movie Review: The Brain From Planet Arous (1957)

Movie Review: The Brain From Planet Arous (1957)

After some patented ’50s era wise-assin’ and a trek through the desert, Steve March (John Agar) becomes possessed by an evil brain from outer space with bedroom eyes named Gor (voiced by Dale Tate and supplemented by non-stop War of the Worlds noises). At first Steve/Gor is just an animal abusing handsy creep, but before long he sets his sights higher and begins threatening the entire world with his evil machinations, all realized through the glory of that sweet, sweet stock footage. Thankfully a friendly-ass brain creature named Vol (also voiced by Tate) comes to earth and possesses Steve’s fiancé Sally’s (Joyce Meadows) dog, as one naturally would… and he’s determined to put an end to Gor’s bullshit, pronto! You read that deliriously daffy sinister synopsis up top, so you already know that The Brain From Planet Arous has a hell of a yarn to spin, and boy-fucking-howdy does it ever!
