Thanksgiving Home Invasion Horror ‘Derelicts’ Gets A Release Date

Terror Films has now announced the release date for Brett Glassberg’s twisted holiday horror film, Derelicts. Written by Glassberg, Andre Evrenos, and Clay Shirley, the film introduces us to a dysfunctional family on Thanksgiving Day. From the over-sexed grandparents to the squabbling siblings and an emotionless husband who seems uninterested in touching his wife – all appears normal for this particular household. That is until a gang of vicious vagrants invades their home, not only to cause havoc, pain, and death but also laying bare everyone’s faults and inhumanity while exposing some deeper family secrets along the way. Produced by Udoy Rahim and co-produced by Mark Newton and Matt Stryker, Derelicts premiered at the Telluride Horror Show Film Festival in 2017.

Movie Review: ‘The Dark And The Wicked’ From The Filmmaker That Brought Us ‘The Strangers’

The Dark and the Wicked is set on a rural farm and centers on an adult brother and sister come to visit their sick father only to realize that something is wrong with their mother as well. It’s slow out of the gate but picks up speed, turning from a dark family drama into a holy hell, someone call a priest supernatural thriller that’s well-paced and spooky in all the right places. The movie builds real tension and suspense with scares that hit you like a linebacker out of nowhere. You are drawn into the intense story of the sister and brother and what they are experiencing within their family and forget for a moment that it’s a horror movie. But when the horror hits though, it hits hard. The cast including Marin Ireland and Michael Abbott Jr. is fantastic. Ireland really made you feel for her character Louise. The actress’ ability to ugly cry on cue is amazing. I

Movie Review: Come Play

When Oliver, a young boy, reads a story online about misunderstood monsters he has no idea that is about to unleash a monster, putting himself and his parents in the path of a relentless entity hellbent on dragging Oliver back to his world. Being autistic and no-verbal (he doesn’t talk) has left Oliver with no friends and with a mother who struggles to cope with the situation. The monster in this film is drawn to the boy because of his loneliness. Making the situation both sad and frightening. While yes, Come Play is a horror film, it’s also much more. It’s about one family’s struggle to cope with autism. I guess it affected me more than it will some others. You see, I have an autistic nephew who is precious. He was non-verbal for years and the thought that something or someone could get to him through his loneliness scares the hell out of me as does the thought that
