Seven Years In Darkness is Back…Again!
If you weren’t able to go to New York Comic Con at the end of last year, you may not have known there was a first time this comic was printed for release. Seven Years In Darkness is a horror fantasy comic series written and illustrated by Joe Schmalke(We Don’t Kill Spiders, The Electric Black). It was introduced at NYCC last October, but due to it’s popularity, the first issue is being reprinted, not for the second time, but for the third time!

‘Nefarious’ Star Jordan Belfi Discusses The Film In Our Interview
The horror-thriller Nefarious is getting rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, including from us. After watching it, I made it my mission to talk with both of the film’s stars, Sean Patrick Flanery and Jordan Belfi, who plays the role of Dr. James Martin, the psychiatrist responsible for deciding if the demon Nefarious truly possesses Flanery’s character Edward or if it’s a clever ruse. In the film, “On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer (Flanery) gets a last-minute, court-ordered psychiatric evaluation. The killer astonishes visiting psychiatrist Dr. James Martin (Belfi) by insisting that instead of trying to avoid his execution, he is, in fact, a demon—Nefarious—who wants his execution to go forward. During my interview with Belfi, who you’ll recognize as a series regular on “Entourage,” we talked about some of the dark subjects in the film, including the death penalty and abortion, as well as the emotional challenges of making a film like this.

Writer-Director Jalmari Helander Talks Kills, Explosions, And The Making Of ‘SISU’ In An Interview
I can not express how much I love the new action-thriller SISU from writer-director Jalmari Helander, so when I got the opportunity to talk with Helander about his incredible, bloody, and brutal film, I was over the moon! In fact, I had a bit of a “fangirl moment.” SISU is set in 1944, “during the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “sisu,” this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-person death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in
