Dive Into “Meg” Author Steve Alten’s Interactive World “Sea Monster Cove”

If you thought watching the blockbuster movie The MEG, which plunged viewers headfirst into the waiting jaws of a Megalodon in the Mariana Trench, was thrilling, imagine immersing yourself in an interactive world ruled by prehistoric sea creatures and taking part in the heart-pounding action! Steve Alten, the author of the NY Times bestselling MEG series, has created a world like no other. Sea Monster Cove is a revolutionary multimedia entertainment concept that combines virtual reality, a web TV series, a video game, and a learning platform into one interactive site. The Sea Monster Cove website of Alten’s imagination is a spectacular, five-star aquarium-themed resort located on Maug, a remote (and very real) island in the Western Pacific. Maug’s volcano erupted 5 million years ago; today all that remains are three uninhabited islets that had been the volcano’s rim and a flooded magma chamber that serves as its lagoon. Why place a virtual island resort here? That’s where Alten’s research

Movie Review: Bullets of Justice (2019)

I really don’t want to review Bullets of Justice. What I do want to do is watch Bullets of Justice… again, and again… Why? Because Bullets of Justice is one of the most downright bat-shit insane fucking films I’ve ever set my mother fuckin’ eerie eyeballs upon! In the aftermath of a third world war, civilization lies in ruins. What few humans survive are sterile and hunted ruthlessly by Muzzles; human/pig hybrids that were created to be super soldiers, but instead became psychos who crave human flesh. Enter Rob Justice (Timur Turisbekov, who also co-wrote the film) and his mustachioed sister/lover Raksha (Doroteya Toleva); offspring of the late, great, and equally mustachioed Grave-digger (Danny Trejo)… two of the baddest mother fucker’s around, and the only ones truly capable of ending the swine menace once and for all. Sounds weird, but not as crazy as I made out above, right? Fucking wrong. Dead wrong. You see also involved in this is

Tensions Rise As A Group Is Isolated Due To A Biological Threat In ‘Darkness in Tenement 45’

Writer-director Nicole Groton‘s female-driven horror thriller Darkness in Tenement 45 about a biological threat that causes people to seek isolation, a topic very poignant these days, is set to arrive this November. The award-winning film is set in the 1950s centers on “Joanna (Nicole Tompkins) who has been living with her overbearing Aunt Martha, in a low-income NYC tenement building ever since a violent outburst left her fighting a force that she can only describe as the “darkness.” Little did she know that weeks after moving in, a biological threat from the Soviet Union would leave the building boarded up and the tenants locked inside. With food dwindling and Martha’s controversial role as leader expanding, Joanna rallies the children in an attempt to save the building. Tensions come to a violent head when Martha delves into Joanna’s past and Joanna struggles to keep the darkness from overtaking her entirely.” Nicole Tompkins, David Labiosa, Melissa Macedo, Casey Kramer, Keyon Bowman, and

Movie Review: 3 Day Weekend (2020)

Ben (Morgan Krantz) gets the shit-hot idea to go camping for a three day weekend after calling it quits with his main squeeze. Well that idea goes tits-up with the quickness, as upon his arrival to that fateful forest, our boy Benny discovers a hearing impaired woman named Shan (Maya Stojan) locked in the trunk of a car… and the dude responsible doesn’t take kindly to intrusions on his kidnapping biz. Now it’s up to our hero to solve the mystery (which ends up involving buried treasure hidden in a duo of safes, and a strange map utilized to locate them) armed as he is with the victim’s cellphone… and believe you me that lil’ bit of the ol’ sleuthin’ ends up having more twists n’ turns than a sinister sidewinder! Written and directed by Wyatt McDill, 3 Day Weekend is nothing if not a flat-out modern crime masterpiece. Featuring a limited cast, a handful of locations (mostly exteriors), and

Netflix Review: "The Haunting of Bly Manor" Is Not Perfectly Splendid

Netflix Review: “The Haunting of Bly Manor” Is Not Perfectly Splendid

Last year, when Netflix aired the genre series “The Haunting of Hill House,” I had no clue that a series could ever reach the ranks it did in my book. A nearly perfect series unfolded before, and I was left bragging about it to anyone who would listen. I’ve seen the series four times since the first time I was introduced to the Crian family. So imagine my excitement when “The Haunting of Bly Manor” was announced; I was ecstatic, to put it mildly. With many of “Hill House’s” cast returning, I knew in my heart that this season would be just as good as the first; you could say that I had high hopes. But did it stand up to my expectations? That’s what I’m here to discuss. Based on Henry James’ “Turning of the Screw” as well as a few other of James’ stories, “The Haunting of Bly Manor” is a haunting tale of a young American teacher
