New 'Offseason' Clip Arrives Ahead Of Its Premiere On Shudder

Movie Review (SXSW Online 2021): Offseason

Writer/director Mickey Keating’s latest horror film is Offseason, a terrific, atmospheric chiller that blends Lovecraftian themes, Southern Gothic, conspiracy thriller, and other elements. The result is a brooding stranger-in-a-familiar-yet-strange-land offering that delivers the creeps quite satisfactorily. Marie (Jocelin Donahue) and her significant other George (Joe Swanberg) travel to the island where her mother Ava (Melora Walters), a once famous actress, was buried after the cemetery caretaker wrote, saying that Ava’s grave had been desecrated. The couple must get past the Bridge Man (Richard Brake), who initially refuses them admittance to the island because storm season is starting, and once they do, they find the locals to be less than welcoming and forthcoming — with no sign of a caretaker. Marie and George attempt to leave the island the same way they came, but instead find the road blocked where it was open just moments earlier. They then find themselves in increasing danger as they try to piece together the strange

Mickey Keating’s Carnage Park Opens In Theaters This July

The theatrical and VOD release date Mickey Keating’s survival-thriller Carnage Park has been set as July 1st, according to Entertainment Weekly. Carnage Park follows two bank robbers fleeing to the desert after a robbery goes wrong. The duo stumble across Carnage Park, a remote stretch of wilderness that a psychotic ex-military sniper prowls. Carnage Park is my total love letter to Peckinpah, and Deliverance, and 70’s survival movies,” Keating said. “It’s set in 1978 and it’s a crime story [which] turns into a fight for survival. It’s hard to categorize in a way, because it’s an energetic crime movie that goes horribly horribly awry. I think it’s going to be something different for people. “The year is 1978. After botching an ill-conceived bank robbery in a desolate California town, two wannabe crooks named Scorpion Joe (James Landry Hébert) and Lenny (Michael Villar) flee the scene with a hostage, Vivian (Ashley Bell), and lead the local lawmen on a dangerous high-speed
