A Dark Family Secret Puts A Life In Danger In The ‘Dark Harbor’ Trailer

The trailer is here for director Joe Raffa‘s unsettling thriller Dark Harbor that tells the story of Olivia, a young mother on the verge of childbirth who finds her future threatened by a hidden darkness from her family’s past.

Movie Review: Hunting Lands (2018)

Poor Frank (Marshall Cook), all he wanted to do is get away from everyone and everything and begin an exciting new life freezing his ever-loving balls off in the cool, cool Michigan wilderness (in the dead of winter no less).

Upon dragging the tarp wrapped corpse home, Frank discovers that there is still life left in the ol’ girl, Maggie (Keyna Reynolds) by name, after all…well barely, and decides to find out who the man is that left her for dead and why. The two finally meet at a bar, and Frank invites the man, whom he discovers is named Lance (Joe Raffa), to hunt on his land. What follows is one of the most tense series of events I’ve ever set my eerie eyeballs upon! Nearly devoid of dialog, featuring a cool, de-saturated color pallet, and relying on
