New 'Offseason' Clip Arrives Ahead Of Its Premiere On Shudder

Movie Review (SXSW Online 2021): Offseason

Writer/director Mickey Keating’s latest horror film is Offseason, a terrific, atmospheric chiller that blends Lovecraftian themes, Southern Gothic, conspiracy thriller, and other elements. The result is a brooding stranger-in-a-familiar-yet-strange-land offering that delivers the creeps quite satisfactorily. Marie (Jocelin Donahue) and her significant other George (Joe Swanberg) travel to the island where her mother Ava (Melora Walters), a once famous actress, was buried after the cemetery caretaker wrote, saying that Ava’s grave had been desecrated. The couple must get past the Bridge Man (Richard Brake), who initially refuses them admittance to the island because storm season is starting, and once they do, they find the locals to be less than welcoming and forthcoming — with no sign of a caretaker. Marie and George attempt to leave the island the same way they came, but instead find the road blocked where it was open just moments earlier. They then find themselves in increasing danger as they try to piece together the strange

Movie Review (SXSW Online 2021): Broadcast Signal Intrusion

Using the real-life 1987 Max Headroom signal hijacking of a television broadcast and the viral Tara the Android video of “I Feel Fantastic” as jumping-off points, director Jacob Gentry’s 1999-set Broadcast Signal Intrusion is an effective thriller that dwells in the realms of paranoia and conspiracy theories. Bolstered by a top-notch performance from Harry Shum Jr. as a widower who stumbles on the mysterious titular event and finds himself obsessed by it, the film is an intriguing journey down a curious rabbit hole. Shum Jr. portrays James, who repairs audio and transcribes VHS media to DVD. One night, he accidentally catches sight of an eerie broadcast of a person dressed up like a TV character — a female robot adopted by a typical 1980s sitcom family — whose voice is masked by audio garble. When James learns that there are actually multiple broadcasts, including one that may or may not actually exist, he begins trying to piece together connections to
