'Follow Her' Explores The Dark Side Of Social Media This June (Trailer)

‘Follow Her’ Explores The Dark Side Of Social Media This June (Trailer)

This June, director Sylvia Caminer’s thriller Follow Her will explore the dark and dangerous side of social media this June. Starring Luke Cook, Dani Barker, Eliana Jones, and Mark Moses, the film was written by Dani Barker. In Follow Her, “Jess (Dani Barker) has finally found her hook: secretly filming creepy interactions that she encounters via online job listings and using the kinks of others to fuel her streaming success. For her next episode, she’s been hired by Tom (Luke Cook) to write the ending of a screenplay in a remote, lavish cabin. Once there, the alluring self-proclaimed screenwriter hands her a script in which the two of them are the main characters. This client isn’t what he seems, and even though the money’s great… the real payment here could cost her life. Follow Her is a psycho-sexual thriller that questions the ethical boundaries of social media.” Michael Indjeian, Sylvia Caminer, and Dani Barker produce. Follow Her will open in

Thriller 'The Hole In The Fence' Exposes The Horrors Of The Élite

Thriller ‘The Hole In The Fence’ Exposes The Horrors Of The Élite

The award-winning dark Spanish thriller The Hole in the Fence (aka El hoyo en la cerca), based on a true story, is out now in select US theaters from director Joaquín del Paso. In the film, set at a secluded, exclusive summer camp in the Mexican countryside, under the watchful eyes of their adult guardians, boys from a prestigious private school receive physical, moral, and religious training to turn them into tomorrow’s elite. The discovery of a hole in the fence sets in motion a chain of disturbing events as the boys devolve into a Lord of the Flies-like mob mentality that creates and spreads hysteria in this profoundly disturbing coming-of-age film that unravels like a horror movie while drawing on actual events. The mostly young cast includes Valeria Lamm, Lucciano Kurti, Yubah Ortega, Eric David Walker, and Santiago Barajas Hamue. The film explores dark themes of politics, religion, classism, prejudice, homophobia, and other things that often plague the hearts

Adaptation Of Stephen King’s ‘The Boogeyman’ Stalks Theaters This June

As the temperature begins to rise, there’s no better place to escape the heat than a movie theater, and there is definitely one movie you need to check out The Boogeyman. In the film, Lester Billings talks to his psychiatrist about the “murders” of his three young children, describing the events of the past several years. His first two children died mysteriously of apparently unrelated causes (diagnosed as crib death and convulsions, respectively) when left alone in their bedrooms. The only commonalities were that the children cried, “Boogeyman!” the closet door was found ajar after discovering their corpses, even though Billings is certain the door was shut. Host and “Bite Size Horror” director Rob Savage is at the helm of the film that stars David Dastmalchian, Chris Messian, Sophie Thatcher, Marin Ireland, and Vivian Lyre Blair. Scott Beck and Mark Heyman penned the script. Based on Stephen King’s 1973 short story of the same name, The Boogeyman will open in

Haunting Horror ‘Brooklyn 45’ Coming To Shudder And AMC+

Friends are haunted by their pasts in the trailer for Brooklynn 45, directed by Ted Geoghegan, out this June. On Friday, December 27, 1945, five military veterans gather in the ornate parlor of a Brooklyn brownstone. Best friends since childhood, they’ve reunited to support their troubled host–but when his invitation for cocktails turns into an impromptu séance, the metaphoric ghosts of their past become all too literal… Trapped in their host’s lounge, the Greatest Generation now finds themselves put to one final test, with their only route to freedom being more bloodshed.

Movie Review: The Pope's Exorcist (2023)

Movie Review: The Pope’s Exorcist (2023)

Russell Crowe, best known for his role in Ridley Scott’s brilliant 2000 film Gladiator, stars as Father Gabriele Amorth in 2023’s possession horror, The Pope’s Exorcist, currently available on Digital and VOD. Directed by Julius Avery, the film sees Father Amorth, the Vatican’s leading exorcist, as he investigates the possession of a child, leading to him uncovering a conspiracy the Vatican has tried to keep secret for centuries. Crowe and all the cast did well in their roles, making the characters feel believable and making it easy to connect with them. I was very impressed with the young actor Peter DeSouza-Feighoney who played the part of the possessed boy, Henry, a role that was both dark and very physical. At just 12, he nailed it. Crowe’s character’s witty banter adds a bit of comic relief to the intense scenes, which I can’t decide is a good thing or if it is a distraction. The cast also includes Franco Nero, Ralph

Amazing Horror Series You Might Have Missed (Part II)

Amazing Horror Series You Might Have Missed (Part II)

Penny Dreadful (2014-2016) I can’t express how disappointed I was when the series that explores classic monsters came to an end. Incredibly well-written with outstanding performances. In fact, I’d be willing to say that “Penny Dreadful” is one of the best horror series ever to be released. If you watch one series from the list, make it this one. Where To Watch: Showtime, Apple TV, FUBO Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020) The spin-off series has a completely different tone and follows a cop as he investigates horrific murders and the corruption of the police force in Los Angeles in the 1930s. Where To Watch: Prime Video, FUBO iZombie (2015-2019) The award-winning series, part zombie show, part comedy, and part police drama, follows a medical resident who finds that being a zombie has its perks as she helps a cop solve crimes. Where To Watch: Netflix Z Nation (2014-2018) Are you a fan of series like “The Walking Dead” but
