Samuel Goldwyn Films announced today that the company has acquired worldwide rights of the family-friendly film Let Us In from director Craig Moss. In the film, “A spirited twelve-year-old girl and her best friend start investigating the sudden disappearances of several missing teens in their small town.

Movie Review: ‘Sweet Water’ (2021)

From director Justin McMillan comes Sweet River, out in theaters and on VOD on April 23, 2021, from Gravitas Ventures. The film centers on Hanna (Lisa Kay), a grieving mother whose son was killed by a serial killer, however, the boy’s body was never found, and she never found acceptance. At the beginning of the film, Hanna rents the cottage on the property where the serial killer lived in hopes that she might find her son’s body in the nearby field, not knowing that the land holds many dark secrets. A bit of slow-burn, Sweet River is a thriller at heart, exploring death, grief, acceptance, regret, and how far a parent would go for their child. While there are paranormal aspects of the film, the death of the child takes more of the focus in the story. Lisa Kay did great with the role she was given, which was an emotional one. She was believable, which is always great. Eddie

“Channel Zero” Star Joins The Cast Of John Swab’s Horror ‘Candy Land’

“Channel Zero” star Olivia Luccardi has boarded the cast of writer-director John Swab‘s upcoming horror Candy Land, which is no way connected to the board game. Luccardi will star alongside Eden Brolin, Sam Quartin, Owen Campbell, Billy Baldwin, Guinevere Turner, Virginia Rand, and Brad Carter in the movie being described as a “gritty horror-thriller,” Variety reports. “The film follows a young disciple of a religious cult, Remy (Luccardi), who stumbles upon a rag-tag group of truck stop sex workers known as “lot lizards” who take her under their wing. As Remy immerses herself in this new underground world, her true colors are revealed in a way that neither her former family nor new family could have ever imagined.” Candy Land ratchets up our usual gritty fare and delves into the mysterious underworld of lot lizards – a ripe and unique setting for a visceral horror-thriller with a terrific ensemble cast, composed largely of friends and repeat collaborators,” producer Jeremy M.

Trash Arts has teamed up with HB Films once again, this time for the remake of Dustin Ferguson‘s Terror At Black Tree Forest. The new film, based on Ferguson’s 2010 indie slasher, will be directed by Sam Mason Bell, who said “I am honored to have been asked by Dustin to remake his film.
