‘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

Sean Patrick Flanery Talks About His Best Roles & New Film ‘Nefarious’ In An Interview

Sean Patrick Flannery is known for his many roles in films like Powder, Boondock Saints, and Suicide Kings and appearances in series such as “The Boys.” Flanery’s latest role is in the supernatural thriller Nefarious, set to be released in theaters today (April 14th). I sat down for an interview with the talented actor to discuss his most famous roles and his double role in the new film Nefarious, in which he gives an amazing performance. In the film, “On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer (Flanery) gets a last-minute, court-ordered psychiatric evaluation.

A Woman Fights To Survive This May In ‘Distress Signals’

This May, a woman is desperate and injured in the survival thriller Distress Signals, written, directed, and produced by Terence Krey and Christine Nyland. In the film, “When a fall down a steep rock face separates her from her friends, Caroline finds herself stranded. Now, alone and with a dislocated shoulder, she must make her way out of the woods–and contend with how she got there.” In 2020, as the world ground to a halt, we – like everyone else – found ourselves canceling our plans. In our case, that meant shelving the film we’d intended to make that summer, even though we were more restless than ever. Desperate for something to hang on to as the world turned upside down, we briefly considered making a screen movie, but far too much of our lives had already transitioned to zoom, so our conversations turned toward isolation and depression – and the antidotes we craved. We wanted to do something together.

Spoiler-Free Reviews: MONOLITH and ACCUSED (Overlook Film Festival)

Monolith Australian science fiction/mystery Monolith finds a young reporter (Lily Sullivan) trying to revive her career as a journalist after not checking her sources on a controversial article. She has an opportunity to start a podcast but suffers from creative block — until, that is, she receives an email from an anonymous source that hints at a particular woman and a brick. The podcaster follows up on the mysterious message and finds herself going further and further down a rabbit hole, and revealing any more of the plot would be doing director Matt Vesely’s film a great disservice. Vesely, working from a marvelous screenplay by Lucy Campbell, masterfully builds the intensity, with Sullivan giving a first-rate performance. Sullivan is, with soem small exception, the only actor viewers see — other performers provide solid voice acting — and she carries the film wonderfully. Go in to Monolith as cold as possible and be prepared for a slow-burn mystery designed to keep
