When I read the the title President Evil, I assumed this was going to be a flick about a zombie President…but from the opening credits I think we are in for some sort of Trump based parody of Halloween…because, yes…reasons…of course…okay… Anyway, our Trump surrogate “David” goes on a kill spree as a youth and gets locked up in a sanitarium. He soon escapes and…look; it’s Halloween with “The Donald”, just like I said…there’s countless “jokes” that reference the current disappointing shit storm our country has become…and all of it is instantly dated which only hurts the film’s re-watchability…I don’t even know how to review this thing… In the plus column; the cast is game for the satire at hand, and the fact that the filmmakers have a sense of social conscience, as well as an honest appreciation of Carpenter’s slasher classic is never in doubt…plus the film is shot and mixed well. In the negative column; the humor is

‘Woodland Grey’ From Award Winning Writer-Director Adam Reider Begins Production

Written by Reider and Jesse Toufexis, the film stars Jenny Raven (Jack Ryan), Ryan Blakely (The Expanse) and screen icon Art Hindle (Black Christmas).
