New Clip From ‘The Last Thing Mary Saw’ Arrives Ahead Of FrightFest Debut
Writer-director Edoardo Vitaletti‘s feature debut, the occult horror-thriller The Last Thing Mary Saw, is heading to Shudder following its debut at FrightFest this week. To mark the occasion, Shudder has unveiled a new clip. The Last Thing Mary Saw begins in Southold, New York, 1843: Young Mary (Stefanie Scott, Insidious: Chapter 3), blood trickling from behind the blindfold tied around her eyes, is interrogated about the events surrounding her grandmother’s death. As the story jumps back in time, we witness Mary, raised in a repressively religious household, finding fleeting happiness in the arms of Eleanor (Isabelle Fuhrman, Orphan), the home’s maid.

Movie Review (Fantasia 2021): Brain Freeze
Writer/director Julian Knafo’s Canadian feature Brain Freeze serves up plenty of social satire and humor in its tale of a zombie outbreak on an island inhabited by affluent people who want to golf year-round despite the weather. The film is a fun offering that takes on several targets but never gets overly heavy-handed in its messages. A biotech company comes to the rescue of the rich folks with a DNA-modified solution that taints the local water supply and turns people and animals into zombies that sprout grass from their bodies. After a series of unfortunate incidents, phone-addicted teen André (Iani Bédard), baby sister in tow, crosses paths with security guard and survivalist Dan (Roy Dupuis), whose adult daughter Patricia (Marianne Fortier) has been infected with the zombie virus. André and Dan try to survive and find a way to either track down the cause of the outbreak or escape the island, while an ultra-right wing disc jockey (Simon-Olivier Fecteau) fans

Small Town Monsters Is Back With The New Documentary ‘Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou’
Small Town Monsters are back with the documentary Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou that delves into the legends that surround the blood-thirsty creature. For centuries, stories have persisted throughout the southern swamps of something truly otherworldly: a terrifying, hirsute creature known by locals as the Rougarou.

Small Town Monsters and director Seth Breedlove peel back the curtain on this unheralded beast in their latest documentary Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou. Breedlove interviewed witnesses and local experts who help to unveil the creature who will be featured in this first-ever look at what is often referred to as the Cajun Werewolf.
