‘Capture Kill Release’ Takes A Stab At Digital HD This March – Based On A True Story

This March ‘Capture Kill Release’ lands on Digital HD from co-directors Nick McAnulty and Brian Allen Stewart. This found footage is a twist on the infamous real life story of “the Ken and Barbie killers”. In the film a young married couple documents their descent down the rabbit hole as they seek to fulfill one of their darkest desires: kill a stranger and film it for posterity.

From the Press Release: Los Angeles, CA – Midnight

Colossal Gives The Finger To A Giant Monster In New Awesome Poster

‘Colossal‘ is using humor to grab viewer’s attention and it’s working. The latest poster gives the monster a finger, and it’s pretty damn awesome.

Hathaway stars as Gloria, an alcoholic woman whose life is in shambles. She soon discovers that shares a strange connection with a monster who is terrorizing the people of South Korea.
