Rue Morgue Founder & Filmmaker Rodrigo Gudiño Talks ‘The Breach’ In An Interview

In 1997, Rodrigo Gudiño founded the horror/music magazine Rue Morgue, which has since become an iconic staple in the genre. But that’s not all he’s been up to. Somehow he has found the time to become a filmmaker as well. His latest film, The Breach, is set to be released this July. Let me tell you about The Breach. It follows John Hawkins, who is in his last days as Chief of Police in the tiny town of Lone Crow, deep in the woods of Northern Ontario. But when a mangled body with strange wounds is found on the shores of the Porcupine River, he’s pulled into a horrific mystery filled with black magic. And the soundtrack features the iconic Guns N’ Roses Guitarist and Rock God, Slash, who also serves as an Executive Producer. I had the pleasure of talking with Gudiño and discussing his magazine, The Breach, and his next film. The Breach premieres on Digital and VOD

Renewed Or Canceled? MGM+ Announces The Future Of “FROM”

It never fails; when the season finale of a series you are really like comes, a bit of panic sets in as you wonder if you’ll get to see more. Will it be canceled or renewed? That’s the case with MGM+’s horror series “FROM,” which always leaves me on the edge of my seat and is one of my favorites. Well, I have fantastic news for my fellow “FROM” fans. MGM+ announced today that the contemporary sci-fi horror series “FROM” has been renewed for a 10-episode third season! In “FROM,” the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter begins to unravel. In the wake of Season Two’s epic cliffhanger, escape will become a tantalizing and very real possibility as the town’s true nature comes into focus and the townspeople go on offense against the myriad horrors surrounding them. The series is set to return in 2024. The dark and fright-filled series is created and executive produced

Short Film Review: Canary (2023)

A group of pals; Ignacio (Matthew Mitchell Espinosa), Nev (Andrew Hayden Kang), Enoch (Thaddeus Newman), and George (Kiyoshi Shishido) by name, head out for a ‘lil R&R at a remote cabin located deep within the wicked woods. Along for the ride is George’s cousin Albert (Barron Leung), a meek fella who unfortunately becomes the victim of severe, alcohol-fueled abuse by those mentioned up yonder when George exits the scene to find some help. Why the need for assistance you may ask? Well, seems the world outside the cabin walls seems to be the subject of some sort of invasion by creatures unknown, and now ol’ Al is faced with a big-ass die-lemma; end his torment by either puttin’ a murder on those bullies, or face whatever in the fuck is lurking outside… One thing you can say about Canary’s director Taka Tsubota; he’s got a good eye (two of them most likely) for making a film look like a million

Spoiler-Free Reviews: THE BYSTANDERS and OZMA (Sci-Fi London 2023)

The Bystanders The invisible-to-people titular characters in director Gabriel Foster Prior’s U.K. science-fiction comedy The Bystanders aren’t exactly guardian angels, but they do have similar tasks in that they are assigned humans to watch over. If you get a positive-minded Bystander like rookie Peter Weir (Scott Haran), you could be in good shape, but if you’re stuck with a more jaded one such as Frank (Seann Walsh) — well, all bets are off. Peter, an anonymous office worker and a perennial second-place personality still stinging from a childhood chess championship loss, switches his charge Sarah (Georgia Mabel Clarke), a music label employee who is trying to get noticed at her job, with Frank’s ambitionless man-child Luke (Andi Jashy) in an effort to become Bystander of the Year. A budding friendship turns into rivalry, and Prior — who cowrote the screenplay with Jack Hughes — delivers a winning comedy of ill manners. Haran and Walsh have terrific comic chemistry together, and
