This October ‘Killer Kate!’ Slashes Its Way Into Theaters

Freestyle Digital Media has scored the North American rights to Killer Kate! which will be released just in time for Halloween. Elliot Feld makes his feature directorial debut with the film that stars Danielle Burgess (“The Sinner”), Tiffany Shepis (Victor Crowley, Tales of Halloween), and newcomer Alexandra Feld. “Killer Kate! is our love letter to the early films of John Carpenter,” Feld. The film centers on “estranged sisters Kate and Angie, who haven’t spoken since Angie went to college and left Kate to care for their ailing father. In a show of reconciliation, several years after moving out, Angie invites Kate to her bachelorette party held at a remote house booked on a home-sharing app. The women are unaware that by booking this house, they’re walking into a trap set in motion by a disturbed family of amateur killers.” Killer Kate! is produced by Elliot Feld, Alexandra Feld, David Feld, Jesse Pruett, and Daniel Moya, who co-wrote the screenplay.

Movie Review: It Lives Inside (2018)

A young gardener (Rett Terrell) and his family move into a new house and discover a box containing ashes and an ancient book…I’m sure this has zero to do with the ol’ timey prospectors that were murdered by one of their own who went absolutely kill crazy after swallowing some smoke in the cold open. Oh wait, it sure as shit does, and of course the bad luck (including what has to be the world’s shittiest broken leg gag in cinematic history after our prunin’ protagonist takes a lackadaisical tumble from a ladder) and supernatural shenanigans (vomiting blood, voices on the baby monitor, et. al.) begin plaguing our now housebound hero, who of course begins to experience an attitude change of the shitty variety, faster than you can say Amityville. See: Our hero hobble around his ramshackle home ad nauseam! See: The amazing acting of the next door neighbor that is so wooden that termites may devour him at any

Sebastian Gutierrez Tells Us About ‘Elizabeth Harvest’ And More In An Interview

Sebastian Gutierrez’s gem of a thriller, Elizabeth Harvest, will soon arrive in theaters and On Demand. Ahead of its release, I had the opportunity to talk with Gutierrez, the same man behind Gothika, Snakes on a Plane, The Eye, and Girl Who Walks Into a Bar, about his new visually striking film that has more twists than a Slinky factory. Abby Lee stars as Elizabeth, a young newlywed who arrives at her new husband’s (Cirán Hinds) home. He explains to her that everything that is his now belongs to her – all except for a locked room he forbids her to enter. When he goes on a trip she can’t resist entering the room, but when she does, her whole life comes crashing down. Sebastian: “Elizabeth Harvest is an old-fashioned European horror. Don’t you think?” Horror Fuel: “I do. It has a similar feel as the original Suspiria.” Sebastian: “It’s influenced by Dario Argento. There was a strain of horror

Writer, director, and producer Lou Simon sat down with me to discuss women in the film industry and her latest genre film 3. Behind films like All Girls Weekend, Hazmat, Agrophobia, and The Awakened, Lou has been making her mark in the genre for years and seems to know just what to do to get a message across to fans.

Locked up in the basement of a remote home, he is unwilling to confess on camera and continues to assert his innocence. With time running out, how far are they willing to go for justice and what if they are wrong?” Horror Fuel: “What is it like to be a woman in the film industry these days?” Lou: “Well, it’s hard being

Discover ‘What Still Remains’ This August

Josh Mendoza‘s dystopian thriller What still Remains is to open in theaters this August. “Set Twenty-five years after a viral outbreak decimated the population, the remaining survivors still fear that deadly illness and the feral “Changed” it has created.
