Movie Review: The Dustwalker (2019)

Tremors meets Dawn of the Dead meets Alien in writer-director Sandra Sciberras’ sci-fi horror The Dustwalker. In this Aussie film, one by one the residents of a small isolated town become infected, turning into brutal, bloodthirsty zombie-like creatures that are on a mission, spread the infection, or kill everyone they come in contact with, including loved ones. Those who are struggling to survive look to Joanne Sharp (Jolene Anderson), the local chief of police for guidance along with her right-hand man, Luke (Richard Davies). Things go from zero to sixty fast. The blood starts being shed in the first few minutes. Once the chaos begins, there are bodies and blood everywhere. And while the hints that something otherworldly involved pop up bit by bit once the big twist is revealed it’s all-out war. The villain in this tale is a clever combination of imagination, sci-fi, and science. One of the key elements to the infection takes inspiration from nature, the

DVD Review: “The Alienist Season 2: Angel Of Darkness”

I hold in my hand a copy of “The Alienist: Angel of Darkness“, which serves as the second season of the crime-thriller series from TNT, set to be released on May 18, 2021. Let me start with the box itself which has an almost metallic sheen and features an image of the three main stars, Daniel Brühl (Rush), Luke Evans (Midway), and Dakota Fanning (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), flanked by red wings dripping with blood. The box is quite beautiful and honestly, pictures don’t do it justice. It would make a fantastic piece for any collection. “Angel of Darkness” features eight one-hour episodes on three discs. The season picks up a year after the team’s first investigation where Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a pioneer in forensic psychiatry, tracked down the brutal serial killer John Beecham with the help of a team of trusted companions and a revolutionary application of the principles of his discipline. Kreizler and his friends–high-living crime

The trailer is finally here for the long-awaited sequel to Venom. Teased in the first film, we see the new villain Carnage (Woody Harelson) in the trailer, and he unleashes chaos.

Exclusive: Trailer And Update For The ‘Crawl Of Die’ Sequel

BackyardFilms has just announced the upcoming sequel(s) to their 2015 breakout Horror, CRAWL or DIE, starring actress and singer, Nicole Alonso (CRAWL or DIE, Screen) who is returning as the fan-favorite badass action hero, Tank. Written and directed by acclaimed Indie director, Oklahoma Ward, filming has wrapped on the sequel that is currently in post-production. Ward and Alonso have kept the plot to their highly anticipated sequel(s) close to the vest, but what we do know is that Alonso’s Tank is back with a heart-pounding vengeance, and the Mohawk sporting, steel-nerved warrior will finally come face-to-face with the creature and this time — IT’S WAR! We called CRAWL or DIE a “claustrophobic masterpiece” back when it was released and there is no doubt that Ward’s follow-up will be just as intense, terrifying, and anxiety-inducing as its precursor. Backyard Films, LLC is the brainchild of Oklahoma Ward and Nicole Alonso. Started in 2012 as a means of producing the original CRAWL
