Sink Your Teeth Into Our Interview With “Vampire Academy” Star Jonetta Kasier

Last week, the first four episodes of Peacock’s new series “Vampire Academy” made their premiere. Actress Jonetta Kasier has since spoken with us, filling us in on the series and her character of Sonya Karp.

One as a powerful Royal, the other a half-vampire Guardian trained to protect against the savage ‘Strigoi’ who threaten to tear their society apart. That is if Royal infighting doesn’t do the job first. ” Learn more about the series here. Kelli: “I watched the first episode last night. I enjoyed it.” Jonetta: “Oh, my god. Really” Kelli: ” I did.

Bullies Get Brutally Tortured In New “Piggy” Trailer

A new Spanish horror-thriller, titled Piggy, is heading your way from Magnet Releasing. The trailer gives us our first real look at the film, which is brutal AF. “With the summer sun beating down on her rural Spanish town, Sara hides away in her parent’s butcher shop. A teenager whose excess weight makes her the target of constant bullying, she flees a clique of capricious girls who torment her at the town pool, only to stumble upon them being brutally kidnapped by a stranger, who drives off with them in his van. When the police begin asking questions, Sara keeps quiet. Intrigued by the stranger — a mutual interest — she’s torn between revealing the truth and protecting the man who saved her.” Laura Galán, Richard Holmes, Carmen Machi, Irene Ferreiro and Camielle Aguilar star.

Movie Review: “Tales from the Gimli Hospital Redux” (Toronto International Film Festival)

I first saw famed Canadian auteur Guy Maddin’s debut feature Tales from the Gimli Hospital at the San Francisco International Film Festival when the film was on the festival circuit in 1988, and I was instantly captivated by its old-fashioned style, gripping visuals, and decidedly offbeat sense of humor. I have been an admirer of Maddin’s work ever since, and this new Tales from the Gimli Hospital Redux 4K version supported by Telefilm’s restoration program, with some additional material incorporated, took me back to that initial viewing experience, doing so with marvelous visual and audio clarity. It is impossible to place Tales from the Gimli Hospital Redux neatly into one or two genres, as the film incorporates several, but suffice it to say that elements of horror, thriller, dark comedy, absurdist comedy, and other genres abound. Looking for all the world like a lost black-and-white early talking film unearthed, Tales from the Gimli Hospital Redux, shot on 16mm, uses light
