HorrorFuel.com Dives Into An Interview With ‘Deep Blue Sea 3’ Star Tania Raymonde

It’s summertime. Do you know what that means? Shark movies are swimming into theaters. One of the movies you need to check out is Deep Blue Sea 3 (review). I sat down with the movie’s star Tania Raymonde (“Lost,” “Goliath”), to discuss the film, her character, and much more. Tania stars as marine biologist Dr. Emma Collins whose team is based on an artificial island studying marine biology and sharks. When her ex arrives begging for help to locate a group of sharks that have escaped from a secret research facility, but that will be easier said than done. These sharks have been genetically altered. They’re intelligent and brutal. Emma and her team are now locked in a fight for survival. Horror Fuel: “So, I watched Deep Blue Seas 3 last night. I liked it.” Tania Raymonde: “Oh, I’m so glad!” Horror Fuel: “I love that so much was included the real plight of sharks and the dangers of climate

Movie Review: Deep Blue Sea 3 (2020)

Too often, the shark movies we get are campy and shallow with no real message or facts. That’s where Deep Blue Sea 3 is different. With a more serious tone, the movie is filled with real facts and the message that we need to protect these amazing creatures. I truly appreciate that director John Pogue and writer Dirk Blackman took this approach. Don’t get me wrong, there are brief moments of cheesiness, but for the most part, this is a story about determination and survival. So if you’re looking for something like Sharknado, just keep swimming. In the film, a team of researches, led by the headstrong, passionate Dr. Emma Collins, are based on an artificial island. As they study the reef and shark nursery, a past lover of Dr. Collins arrives on a ship in hopes that she will help him find three sharks that have escaped a secret lab. Not knowing the entire story, the team joins the

Movie Review: Amulet

Every once in a while, I come across a movie the leaves me speechless. As I sat down today to watch Amulet I thought I had some idea of what to expect. I was wrong. Where to start? I guess the premise would be a good place. Amulet is the debut feature from Romola Garai and follows Tomas (Alec Secareanu), a homeless ex-soldier, suffering from PTSD and heavy guilt. He meets a nun who arranges a place for him to stay, with a young woman (Carla Juri) whose mother is sick and living in the attic. But not everything is what as it seems to be. Normally, I do my best to avoid giving out spoilers, but to work through this film, I need to reveal a few things. To avoid spoilers stop reading this review now. The first half of the movie is a SLOW burn. But at the halfway mark things go off the rails and morphs into
