Fathom Events is celebrating the 35th anniversary of director Rob Reiner’s coming of age thriller Stand By Me with a limited run in select theaters nationwide on Sunday, May 23rd and Wednesday, May 26th. An adaptation of Stephen King‘s novella The Body, the film released in 1986 was a hit with both critics and viewers earning itself a cult status quickly. In fact, it’s one of this writer’s top 10 favorite films ever. Starring Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O’Connell, and Kiefer Sutherland, the screenplay was written by Raynold Gideon and Bruce A. Evans. Filled with humor and suspense, Stand By Me is the tale of four boys on a two-day journey.

“Ash vs, Evil Dead” director MJ Bassett is back with her new survival-thriller Endangered Species which finds Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell in Africa on a hunt where they become the prey. “This gripping adventure tale unfolds beneath a brutal African sun. Jack Halsey takes his wife (Romijn), their adult kids, and a friend for a dream vacation in Kenya. But as they venture off alone into a wilderness park, their safari van is flipped over by an angry rhino, leaving them injured and desperate. Then, as two of them go in search of rescue, a bloody, vicious encounter with a leopard and a clan of hyenas incites a desperate fight for survival.” Bassett co-wrote the script with Isabel Bassett, based on a story by Paul Chronnell. Phillip Winchester, Michael Johnston, and Chris Fisher also star. Endangered Species opens in select theaters and will be unleashed on Digital and On Demand on May 28, 2021, from Lionsgate.

Something evil is afoot in the town our heroine Sam (Hayley Griffith… who our own ever-awesome Kelli interviewed right here) delivers pizza in. Sure, there’s the expected weirdo shit-birds one would expect a person to encounter deliverin’ picture perfect pies at all hours, but there’s also somethin’ a bit different; namely a high class group of Satanists led by the comely witch bitch Danica (Rebecca Romijn) that is just aching to include our gal in all manner of sacrificial deviltry after a late night delivery. Soon Sam is up to her pepperoni and extra cheese in diabolical demons and monstrous magic, and it’ll take every ounce of her wits to keep her life and soul intact during this hellish night of horrors… and hilarity… You see cats n’ creeps, ol’ Satanic Panic, for all that the sinister synopsis up yonder would lead you to believe otherwise, is a rather hilarious comedy, with some well done horror overtones… especially some well

What happens when you mix a Satanic cult and broke virgin? You get director Chelsea Stardust‘s Satanic Panic starring Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O’Connell, and Jordan Ladd. Hayley Griffith (interview) plays the lead role of Sam,a young woman working her first night as a pizza delivery girl. With what felt like a nod to Clerks, the film opens with Sam talking with other delivery people before heading off on her delivery route, praying she gets a tip before her scooter runs out of gas. Of course, she runs into a series of cheapskates and weirdoes. When an order needs to be delivered to the rich section of town, she jumps at the chance, not knowing she’s about to run into serious trouble. Between raunchy advances, magical spells, and the threat of becoming a sacrifice, Sam’s day just went from bad to worse. Now, all she has to do is survive the night, a demon, and the cult lead by Danica (Romijn)
