Witches and Weed: 'Trim Season' Blowing into Theaters

Witchcraft and Weed: ‘Trim Season’ Slashes Its Way into Theaters This Summer

Are you looking for a horror movie with a fresh twist? Look no further than Trim Season, slashing its way into theaters this Summer. The film blends witchcraft and weed into a bloody cocktail that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Directed by Ariel Vida, Trim Season follows a group led by Emma Bethlehem Million (Sick). Lured by the promise of quick cash, they venture deep into Northern California to work on a remote marijuana farm. “How much can we make in two weeks?” one character naively asks in the unrated trailer. “How much you trim is how much you get,” comes the reply as a seemingly friendly recruiter gathers his unsuspecting crew. Upon arrival, they’re greeted with a welcome: “Welcome to The Hollow. It’ll be over before you know it, so enjoy!” Meanwhile, Mona (Jane Badler), the farm’s enigmatic owner, offers a sinister hint: “You’re right on time.” For horror fans, this translates to one thing

This Stephen King Adaptation Deserves A Reboot Or Remake

This Stephen King Adaptation Deserves A Reboot Or Remake

We live in a time where everything is being rebooted, remade, or reimagined. Usually, I’m against that kind of thing, but there’s one Steph King project I would actually love to see be redone, the 2002 mini-series “Rose Red.” “Rose Red,” which features three episodes, sees a college professor and a team of psychics investigate an old mansion, hoping to explain some of the mysterious deaths on the property and capture actual paranormal activity. When participants, including psychics, stay in the mansion, a terrifying force threatens to destroy them all. The cast featured some rather large names at the time, including Nancy Travis (So I Married An Ax Murder), Matt Keeslar (Scream 3), Kimberly J. Brown, who you should recognize from the Halloween classic Halloweentown, Julian Sands (Warlock), David Dukes (Gods and Monsters), and Judith Ivey, Melanie Lynskey, Matt Ross, and Kevin Tighe. First, let me say the series was great when it was released. I remember watching it when

Spoiler Free Netflix Review: "The Fall Of The House Of Usher"

Spoiler Free Netflix Review: “The Fall Of The House Of Usher”

Mike Flanagan’s latest Netflix series, “The Fall of the House Of Usher,” has now arrived on Netflix. Is it worth the watch? Damn right, it is. Inspired by multiple tales by Edgar Allen Poe, the series tells the story of a ruthless, corrupt family and that bill from long ago that has come due. The series is dark and brutal and filled with suffering. It unfolds as the head of the Usher family, Rodrick Usher (Brian Greenwood), recounts his rise to power, his loss, and his evil deeds to Auguste Dupin (Auguste Dupin), the attorney who has been on a mission to bring the family down for decades as they sit in the Usher family’s original, now rundown home. Much of the story is told in extended flashbacks, which works beautifully. It was a risky choice that paid off. The main cast includes Carla Gugino (Gerald’s Game, “The Haunting of Hill House”), Mary McDonnell (Scream 4), Carl Lumbly (Doctor Sleep),
