DVD Review: It’s Just A Game

Writer-director Daniel Emery Taylor’s It’s Just a Game is headed to Blu-ray and DVD. I got a chance to review it and well, these are my thoughts. Brianna (Hannah Cohen-Lawlor) is a shy, bashful teen who is constantly getting humiliated by the other girls in her social circle. Her circumstances change when she is kidnapped by a bizarre incestual cult intent on summoning an ancient witch. Hannah Cohen-Lawlor, Sarah Kopkin, Leah Hudspeth, Rachel Marshall, Alicia Clark, and G Larry Butler star in It’s Just A Game, from Wild Eye Releasing. There are times that I hate doing reviews. I don’t enjoy picking apart a movie that a lot of people put their hard work into. But I think our readers deserve the truth, even if it is a bit harsh. This is one of those times. This low-budget flick has a host of issues, for example, 90% film is too bright, giving it a washed-out look. The strong “tracer effect”

We May Actually Be Getting A Sequel To ‘Killer Klowns From Outer Space”

After years of rumors, we may be actually getting a sequel to the 1988 horror comedy Killer Klowns From Outer Space! During a discussion with ComicBook.com about his Netflix film Alien Xmas, Stephen Chiodo talked about his and his brother’s (Charles Chiodo) classic, saying that the brother duo is currently in talks with Netflix about making a Kill Klowns sequel. We are talking to them. We’re talking all the time. Get this: we’ve been trying to do a sequel (Killer Klowns From Outer Space) since we made the film and fans get angry with us. We don’t mention it too much, because they get angry. They say, ‘Oh, what’s the matter with you guys?’ But we’re trying. The business is just a bear, moves at a glacial pace. There’s interest, and it wanes and flows. You get some executives who really want to do it, then, all of a sudden, musical chairs. They’re out, a new regime is in, and
