Movie Review: 3rd Night (2018)

Meagan (Jesse McGinn) and Jonathan (Robert Hartburn) escape the rat race and move on to greener pastures…literally, as they move into a house situated next to an orchard in the middle of East Ass-Hair. Nowheresville (it’s a real place, believe me…I’m a movie critic, and I know things). Anyway, things go smoothly enough on their first night in the new pad…minus a missing house cat, but you can bet demons to doughnuts that shit heads south with the major quickness…and it does as later that night someone watches their sex sesh from the wooded area surrounding the home. The next day strange notes appear, the disembodied laughter of a child and the squealing of pigs is heard, and a gloved hand touches Meagan as she sleeps…you know, typical new homeowner shit. Now on the third night, things go completely off-the-rails…so much so that the future of our heroes is seriously in doubt! 3rd Night is a slow burn thriller with

The Trailer For ‘Thriller’ Reminds Of The 70’s Horror We Love So Much

Blumhouse’s new horror flick Thriller gives off a major Prom Night meets Scream vibe in its first trailer, all while reminding us of the 70’s horror we love so much. The 70’s were a great decade, giving us classic films like Prom Night, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Exorcist, each having the same type of feel and look. An introverted young man named Chauncey Page is sent to juvenile detention after he accidentally kills a member of a group of bullies after they play a cruel prank on him. Four years later he is back and he’s out for revenge. Jason Woods stars alongside Fences actor Mykelti Williamson and rapper turned actor RZA. Jessica Allain, Luke Tennie, Tequan Richmond, page Hurd, Chelsea Rendon, and Mitchell Edwards, Deadline reports. Divide/Conquer are producing the film written and directed by Dallas Jackson. Thriller will make its World Premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival on September 23, 2018.

Movie Review: The Grand Son (2018)

Tod (Rhys Wakefield…who we interviewed right here) and his sister Lani (Fabianne Therese) live a life of decadent excess high in the Hollywood hills within the walls of their grandmother Judy’s (an aging starlet who know hosts a home shopping show) mansion. Things are all wine and roses until ol’ Tod (accidentally?) busts a cap in Judy’s ass making her as dead as her movie career. With Judy gone, how can the siblings charmed lives continue on as before? Well Tod is as good at hatching schemes as he is at murdering his relatives, so he seduces the producer of the shopping show and sets Lani up as the host in the wake of Judy’s “absence”…which actually improves the ratings, ‘cuz Lani is hot as the Devil’s balls and all. Things of course escalate, and our “heroes” must go further and further to maintain their ruse! The Grand Son is a great example of a slow burn thriller done right!

Sebastian Gutierrez Tells Us About ‘Elizabeth Harvest’ And More In An Interview

Sebastian Gutierrez’s gem of a thriller, Elizabeth Harvest, will soon arrive in theaters and On Demand. Ahead of its release, I had the opportunity to talk with Gutierrez, the same man behind Gothika, Snakes on a Plane, The Eye, and Girl Who Walks Into a Bar, about his new visually striking film that has more twists than a Slinky factory. Abby Lee stars as Elizabeth, a young newlywed who arrives at her new husband’s (Cirán Hinds) home. He explains to her that everything that is his now belongs to her – all except for a locked room he forbids her to enter. When he goes on a trip she can’t resist entering the room, but when she does, her whole life comes crashing down. Sebastian: “Elizabeth Harvest is an old-fashioned European horror. Don’t you think?” Horror Fuel: “I do. It has a similar feel as the original Suspiria.” Sebastian: “It’s influenced by Dario Argento. There was a strain of horror

‘Euthanizer’ Aims To Kill – In Theaters This July (Trailer)

From writer/director Teemy Nikki comes the dark, gritty film Euthanizer, opening in theaters this July. Veijo runs a black-market operation euthanizing people’s ailing pets to make extra money. It is clear he has dark secrets, but only after meeting a young nurse and a seedy mechanic (who’s mixed up with a vicious gang of neo-Nazis) that Veijo’s carefully balanced, albeit deranged, life begins to show cracks. Things turn to the extreme when Veijo does not finish a job he was paid to and his client finds out…in this grungy exploitation throwback. Described as a “great addition to – and a new take on – the current wave of grungy exploitation independent cinema” (The AV Club), Euthanizer combines horror and humor like never before. Matti Onnismaa, Jari Virman, Hannamaiji Nokander, and Heikki Nokander star in the thriller, opening in L.A theaters (other cities to be announced) from July 20, with a VOD release set for August 7, 2018, from Uncork’d Entertainment.
