On his first night in his new home, blind Vietnam Vet Ambrose (Nick Damici) and his dog Shadow are attacked. On the same night his elderly neighbor is also brutally murdered. The cops say it was an animal attack, there have been a lot of them lately. Ambrose did not see who it was, but he has an idea what it was. When the full moon comes again, he’ll be ready. In the mean time, he is determined to put the pieces together of who could be killing members of the community and the creature that killed his beloved Shadow. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good werewolf movie, ‘Late Phases’ was just what I needed. This movie is not the usual, nonstop, action packed, gore filled werewolf movie, it takes the time to build a real story. You actually become invested in the characters and you really want justice for Shadow’s murder, damn it. Scriptwriter Eric Stolze

‘William Froste’, a new movie in the making, is set to begin filming this September. The movie is described as “the ultimate dichotomy of innocence vs. evil that will leave an audience questioning their own moral convictions…” Young director Natalie Bible, known for her film ‘Hemlock’, is at the helm of this project with the screenplay written by Vance Savage. Director Natalie Bible Right now one major detail has been released about the project, it has a huge cast of well known actors. I don’t think I have emphasized just how big of a list of cast members will be starring in this good vs. evil movie, it’s a veritable “who’s who” of horror. I guarantee you will recognize most, if not all, of these names. The big question is, will the cast over shadow the screenplay?
