A First Look At ‘Suspension’
Emily Hanson (Ellen MacNevin) is a victim of bullying at her high school. Emily’s only escape is in her artwork, a comic book of sorts, that follows a serial killer. The drawings are based on her father’s killing spree before he was put in a mental institution. Carrie, Emily’s only friend, thinks Emily should try to fit in. Carrie thinks a party, thrown by two of the popular boys, is the perfect chance. Emily can’t go, even if she wanted to, she’s stuck babysitting her little bother. Emily and her brother are in for a horrible night that they’ll never forget (if they survive). A killer is on the loose and he’s acting out exactly what Emily has drawn. Director Jeffery Scott Lando (Boodeyman) brings this slasher film to life. ‘Suspension’ was written by Kevin Mosley (Savage Island) and stars Sage Brocklebank (Psych), Johannah Newmarch (The Weather Girl), Taylor Russell (Blink) and ‘Hell on Wheels’ actor Duncan Ollerenshaw. ‘Suspension’ will

Women in Horror Spotlight: Justina Walford
This week’s Women in Horror spotlight was selected, I confess, due to the fact that her wonderful new horror flick The Ladies of the House is out on VOD this week. (May 1st to be exact; mark it on your calendars!) She and her husband John Stuart Wildman are the writing team/creative whirlwind that is responsible for bringing the horror genre a story about rockabilly cannibal strippers. (Yes, you read right! Rockabilly. Cannibal. Strippers.) The film is an incredible joy to watch. Walford has been a huge part of the creation of the suspense driven thriller which is ridden with symbolism, foreshadowing, and excellent use of costume design and other elements to explain aspects of a story which would otherwise be unknown to the viewer. If you enjoy thinking and predicting outcomes in films as much as you enjoy viewing all the gorey details, you’ll love The Ladies of the House. Although her previous credits don’t include many horror titles,
