Certified Fresh Serial Killer Thriller 'Watcher' Heads To Shudder

Movie Review: “Watcher”

Director Chloe Okuno, who first came to the attention of this reviewer and many a horror fan with her terrific 2014 short film Slut, delivers one of this year’s finest, most gripping horror thrillers with her debut feature Watcher. Elegantly shot, eerie, and suspenseful, the film boasts a fantastic lead performance from Maika Monroe, building on the strong work she has already shown in The Guest, It Follows, and other films. Julia (Monroe) moves from the U.S. to Bucharest with her husband Francis (Karl Glusman) after he is transferred there as a work promotion. He speaks the language, while she is trying to learn it. He works long days, while she mostly remains in their plush apartment. She notices a man (Burn Gorman of Crimson Peak) in the next building who is seemingly watching her at all hours. With a serial killer called The Spider roaming the streets, Julia naturally becomes suspicious when she sees someone who she believes is

Blu-ray Review: Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! (2003)

Recent college grad Herman (Patrick Casey who also co-wrote the picture along with his Sonic the Hedgehog co-conspirator Josh Miller, who also directed), hitches a ride with sky-high architect/serial killer material-based joke machine who transports him to his new digs, an apartment he’ll be sharing with four other dudes. Strange thing about that place; his room contains all the personal effects of the previous occupant… which should bring up a big ol’ red flag, but our “hero” is preoccupied with other various and sundry shit including his fun and rewarding job digging holes, his nympho gal-pal, a sock swiping ‘Squatch, maybe a cult or two (just one, but it sounded better that way… ). How will our hero make it through this… hell why is he going through this? Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! is a (near) zero budget wonder: a (light) horror comedy with a smart, funny script, a dearth of insane-o ideas and concepts, a game cast, and probably

Director Rob Schroeder makes his feature directorial debut with Ultrasound, a dark tale of human experimentation and questionable ethics, arriving on DVD and On-Demand this June. While “driving home late at night during a heavy rainstorm, Glen experiences car trouble. Near where his car gets stuck, he spots a house, knocks on the door, and is greeted by an oddly friendly middle-aged man, Arthur, and Cyndi’s younger wife. The strange couple pours him a drink and then more drinks, followed by an unexpected offer that Glen can’t refuse.
