'Last Shift' Remake 'Malum' Unleashes Blood-Drenched Trailer Ahead Of Release

‘Last Shift’ Remake ‘Malum’ Unleashes Blood-Drenched Trailer Ahead Of Release

For the first time since 1957, a director is remaking his own film. Writer-director Anthony DeiBlasi’s remake of his 2014 spooky-as-hell horror Last Call, titled Malum, is coming to theaters this Friday. “The film plunges viewers into a relentless, adrenaline-fueled, bloody cult nightmare, Malum focuses on a rookie police officer who willingly takes the last shift at a newly decommissioned police station in an attempt to uncover the mysterious connection between her father’s death and a vicious cult. Throughout the night, she finds herself barraged by terrifying supernatural events while unveiling the truth behind her family’s twisted past. Far from a shot-for-shot remake, Malum respects the original film, Last Shift, but it is a much different type of movie that has given filmmakers a chance to tell their full story with all the right resources. The cast includes Jessica Sula, Natalie Victoria, Candice Coke, Clarke Wolfe, Monroe Cline, and Kevin Wayne. Written by Anthony DiBlasi and Scott Poiley, Malum, opens

Spoiler Free Review: ‘I See You’ Is A Movie You Don’t Want To Miss

First announced in 2017, director Adam Randall’s intense thriller I See You has just made its debut on Netflix, and people are loving it! In the 2019 film, “A policeman and his doctor wife have marriage problems, and the son blames the mother. For his job, the policeman investigates a case of a missing boy. The possible kidnapping looks like some cases from a few years ago. When two phroggers enter the house, things go off the rails. “Phrogging is the act of secretly living in someone’s home or property without their knowledge and/or consent. The person who does the phrogging is called a phrogger, typically one who has nowhere else to live.” I See You is filled with multiple twists and realizations that will shock you. This movie, written by Devon Graye, is clever, dark, and twisted, just the way we like our films. Without spoiling too much, there are two major twists, one involving the identity of one

Blockbuster opened in 1985 with 6,000 stores nationwide featuring over 8,000 VHS tapes each before converting to DVD. Unfortunately, they could not compete with Netflix. Now, only one store remains.

'Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey' Falls Victim To Censorship

‘Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey’ Falls Victim To Censorship

No, this is not The Onion, cinemas in Hong Kong have pulled Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey from their lineups due to “technical glitches” which it’s a bit odd that it happened to all copies of just this film in multiple theatres… All signs point to Chinese authoritarian censorship. For those not familiar, all images of Winnie the Pooh, that loveable honey-addicted bear who is all about doing nothing because it could lead to something, who in recent years has entered the public domain, is banned in China. I know many are chuckling right now because they already are aware of the reason why, but to those of you who are not aware, Chinese President Xi Jinping, in short, had his feelings hurt after many people in and out of China have compared his likeness to that of the Silly old Bear. This rift between the authoritarian leader and the fictional children’s character started in 2013 in which after
