Take A Terrifying Trip Aboard ‘Mary’ – On Blu-ray And DVD This November

Mary sets sail on Blu-ray and DVD this November. Onboard is Acadamy Award winner Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour, The Dark Knight). In the film, David (Oldman) is a struggling blue-collar captain looking to make a better life for his family.

But soon after they embark on their maiden journey, strange and frightening events begin to terrorize David and his family, causing them to turn on one another and doubt their own sanity.

Movie Review: The Shed (2019)

What do you get when you mix bullies and bloodthirsty vampires? You get Frank Sabatella’s indie horror film The Shed, from the producer of the Saw franchise. The film centers a teen named Stanley (Jay Jay Warren) whose back story is a heartbreaking one. Things go from good to bad to dreadful quick in the film when his parents die. Being a victim of abuse and bullying at both his new home and at school really makes you feel for the kid. When he finds something inhuman and hungry hiding in his shed all hell breaks loose. But Stanely’s not giving up on being a decent person without a fight. Besides being entertaining, the movie has a strong anti-bully message. Let’s be honest, bullies, both in real life and online are a real problem. Bullying can really damage a person, sometimes for life. So, repeat after me, don’t be a dick. Jay Jay Warren really brings his character to life.
