Twelve Strangers Fight To Survive ‘The Hunt’ (Trailer)

Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing and don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They’ve been chosen… for a very specific purpose … The Hunt. In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a bunch of elites gathers for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt humans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of the hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin, GLOW), knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman (two-time Oscar® winner Hilary Swank) at the center of it all. Emma Roberts (“AHS”), Ethan Suplee (Santa Clarita Diet), and Justin Hartley (“This Is Us”) also star in The Hunt, directed by Craig Zobel (Z for Zachariah, The Leftovers). From Jason Blum, the producer of Get Out and The Purge franchise, and Damon

‘Suspiria’ Director In Talks To Helm ‘Lord Of The Flies’ for Warner Bros.

Odds are, if you went to high school you were made to read Lord of the Flies penned by Nobel Prize-winner William Golding. The 1954 dystopian novel is now being adapted by Warner Bros. for a feature film. According to Variety, Luca Guadagnino is in talks to both direct and produce. Does that name sound familiar? It should. Luca Guadagnino‘s Suspiria made a splash with many critics last year as did his film Call Me by Your Name in 2017. The novel follows a group of schoolboys marooned on a deserted tropical island who descend into a savage social order in an attempt to recreate the culture they left behind. The book is dark, brutal, and has inspired many author and filmmakers in both the horror genre and the post-apocalyptic subgenre. This isn’t the first time the tale has been turned into a film. The novel was adapted for film in 1963 followed by the 1990 adaptation, which, in all

Movie Review: American Killing (2019)

A dude named Jeb just so happens to be a director for a children’s television program…and that program just so happens to be tanking faster than Andrew Dice Clay at a feminist rally (I’ve been saving that one since 1988…I think you’ll agree it’s aged like a fine wine whose grapes were fermented in pure mirth). Anyway, ol’ Jeb has the 1000Watt idea to take a bunch of writers to a secluded lodge (the journey to which will bring to mind a certain Kubrick lensed fright flick…or the ending of the theatrical cut of Blade Runner…but what’s the difference really) to try and create some creative zeitgeist. Seems reasonable…oh, and Jeb decides to film everything with hidden cameras because he is coming unglued and is preparing a major case of the “goin’ ape-shits” that will leave the group all murdered like (but not before he uses their deepest secrets against them). I have to admit, ol’ American Killing shocked the

Movie Review: 3 Lives (2019)

Ol’ Emma (Mhairi Calvey) is well and truly in the sinister soup! She’s been kidnapped and chucked into an abandoned bunker with a dude named Ben (Tyron Ricketts), a real shit-heel who sexually assaulted our heroine 15 years prior… along with her old school chum Jamie (Martin Kaps). Soon this gaggle finds themselves b.d. in the stalk n’ slay bag as they strive to keep alive when the psychos that abducted them begin chasing them through the wicked woods. 3 Lives has it’s ups and downs. Co-Writer (along with Wolf-Peter Arand)/Director Juliane Block presents Emma as a character shattered by the damage Ben inflicted on her, and Calvey certainly has the acting chops to make that believable…but unfortunately the situation she finds herself in is cliche and predictable for anyone that is a fan of the slasher genre. Fortunately the tension is kept relatively high and effective so the goings-on remain mostly watchable throughout. See how I said “mostly” up

Short Film Review: Cole & Colette (2019)

Colette (Becca Buckalew) is a woman home alone doin’ a lil’ housework when she sees a news report detailing yet another missing woman in the area. Fortunately for her, the love of her life Cole (Matt McAbee) is heading home post-haste. Of course she doesn’t remain alone for long, but just who is in her house, and what do they truly want… Running just under six minutes, Cole & Colette packs a lot of suspense in it’s brief runtime…not to mention some great twists and turns. Writer Harker Jones along with Director Matt Boda actually manage to bring something new to that beloved horror biz trope; the stranger in the house…accompanied by news bulletins detailing a menace on the loose…seriously this shit was a “thing” all the way back in ’50’s era Tom and Jerry cartoons (Down Beat Bear for those of you keeping track at home)…probably even before, I’m not doing anymore research, my fingers are exhausted), yet it
