Dark Sky Films Unleashing ‘Night Drive’ & ‘Blood Conscious’ On DVD

Dark Sky Films is gearing to release two tales of terror on DVD this September, Night Drive and Blood Conscious. In Night Drive, “Russell (AJ Bowen – You’re Next, The Signal) is a driver in Los Angeles who’s reeling from a series of bad decisions. While his life seems to be caught in a downward spiral, a business proposition from an alluring but enigmatic passenger named Charlotte (Sophie Dalah – Unbroken, Dead Night) proves too good to turn down. A simple ride turns deadly, catapulting Russell into an even darker place, but Charlotte may be the key to a second chance he thought he’d never have… if he can make it through the night.” Bradford Baruh, the filmmaker that brought you John Dies at the End, directed Night Drive alongside Meghan Leon who penned the script. Blood Conscious, starring Nick Damici (“Hap and Leonard”, Dark Was the Night), centers on Kevin, his older sister, Brittney, and her fiancé, Tony, set

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. Her family, who believe they are seeing, speaking, and acting on God’s behalf, view the girls’ relationship as an abomination, to be dealt with as severely as possible. The couple attempts to carry on in secret, but someone is always watching, or listening, and the wages of perceived sin threaten to become death, with the tension only heightened by

Movie Review: Lucky (2021)

In Lucky, Brea Grant stars as May, a popular self-help author. While she appears to have her life together on the surface, it’s far from normal. Every day she faces off against the same attacker. Even after wounding him, he disappears then returns in an attempt to kill her again and again. Why? She has no idea. But on top of the mysterious man, her husband has gone MIA, and her sister-in-law is acting sketchy as hell. S who is this mystery man and why does he coming back? We’ll get to that. As for action, this movie is filled with it. There are a ton of fight scenes. And I have to say I truly appreciate that director Natasha Kermani keeps them realistic. There are no superwomen here, it’s just women. What started out as a thriller turns into something completely different. It turns out Lucky is actually, in my opinion, about the invisible trauma that women face every

Blu-ray Review: Cannibal Man (1972)

Main-man Marcos (Vincente Parra) is an aimless, loner of a slaughterhouse employee spends what there is of his existence dreaming of a better life. Well at least he has his best gal Paula (Emma Cohen). Speaking of ol’ P-dawg, her and Marcos go at it hot n’ heavy in the back of a taxi after a date, which really infuriates the driver to no fuckin’ end… so much so that Marcos ends up killing the dude outright! As is the way, Paula knows too much, so her ass has to go… and we are off to the races as Marcos just can’t stop killing to cover his tracks… which seems a bit like the snake eatin’ it’s own tail, but who can figure out the mind of a complete psycho on a murder binge… I gotta be upfront with you lot, Cannibal Man is one of the biggest loads of bullshit to ever be printed on a movie poster… Marcos

4K-UHD Review: Cat O’ Nine Tails (1971)

Blind crossword puzzle author (is that what people who create those things are even called???) Franco (Karl Malden, proving he walked the streets of Rome before those of San Francisco) is taking a stroll one night with his young niece Lori (Cinzia De Carolis) when he overhears a plan to blackmail a scientist who works at a top secret genetic institute…well, not too top secret if they are blabbing about it right out in the damn street and all…oh, and there’s a robbery in there somewhere as well. Anyway Franco eventually teams up with a journalist by the name of Carlo (everyone’s favorite ‘not-quite-Charlton Heston’ James Franciscus) to solve the case, but there ends up being a metric shit-ton of the ol’ murder biz about, so these two dudes are most likely in way over their heads… Admittedly, I’ve never been the biggest fan of the giallo genre; they’ve always played out more like a typical murder mystery with a
