Movie Review: BETHANY Conjures Surreality And Madness That Gets Under Your Skin.

The author Thomas Wolfe was of the mind that you can’t go back home again. He even went as far as to write a book with that exact title. Sometimes circumstances make it necessary to go home, whether we want to or not. Such is the case for Claire, who is returning home because her mother, Susan, has just passed away. Claire and her husband, Aaron, take possession of and move into her childhood home, finding little has changed over the years. Not long after taking up residence in the house, Claire begins to recall the emotional anguish her mother caused her to endure as a child. Being her mother’s only daughter, her little princess, was a part of Claire’s young life that came with a great deal of emotional turmoil.

Sean Whalen Talks Acting And His Upcoming Film Crust In An Interview

A teacher, actor, writer, he took the time to sit down with me and reminisce about his past roles and working with genre legend Wes Craven, as well as to discuss his current projects. Whalen has appeared in many roles, throughout many genres, including Wes Craven’s 1991 hit The People Under the Stairs, where he played Roach, a man with a missing tongue, who sacrificed himself to save the two young stars. You might also remember Whalen in Twister, as “Anton” on the series Constantine, or as “Becks” in 2009’s Halloween II. In all he has appeared in over 115 films and series. Now, Whalen has written his own script, a story about a man and a murderous monster made of socks, Crust. Currently crowdfunding, Crust combines humor and horror for a film with heart.

Gunnar Hansen, who created the project, is not here to see it emerge from the post production studio. We wrapped principal photography May 5th. Six months later we have a finished film. it is true…making a movie is akin to a minor miracle. Making one with the largest collection of horror names in a single picture, to date…that’s something else. This is a personal entry from me on this film. From its director and its writer. It’s not a pitch. Those who want to see it will see it. Those who don’t will likely see it anyway. Many will love it. Some won’t. It’s the way it goes anytime

The first full trailer for ‘Death House’ has arrived and it is incredible! From Harrison Smith (Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard,The Fields, 6 Degrees of Hell, Camp Dread) comes a horror film the likes of which we’ve never seen. No other horror film in history has had such an enormous cast of genre icons. In the film, “Agents Toria Boon and Jae Novak have their own dark pasts, arriving at Death House to tour its levels and observe its denizens first hand as well as the medical and mental experiments of Drs.

We’re Headed Back To Sleepaway Camp In New Film

Back in 1983 we witnessed a character named Angela (Felissa Rose) reveal a big (I don’t know if big is the right word) secrete in a scene that shocked the hell out of horror fans, I’m talking about ‘Sleepaway Camp’. The slasher flick spawned four sequels and is now about to add another film to the franchise. Before you jump the gun and assume it’s a reboot/remake, I should tell you that it will be a direct sequel to the original film. Back in 2013 former New Line executive Jeff Katz obtained the rights. He will be producing the sequel with the franchise’s creator and writer Robert Hiltzik. Katz recently spoke about the project on The Movie Crypt podcast. He explained that the new film will reveal what Angela has been in a sanitarium all these years. In the sequel she escapes and returns to Camp Arawak. Katz hopes that Rose will reprise her role as Angela. Let’s be honest,
