Streaming Sleepers: In TROPHY WIFE, Marital Bliss Is Obviously Anything But
Trophy Wife is now available on Amazon Prime in the U.S. for rental or purchase, from Indie Rights Movies. Trigger Warring: This review discusses domestic violence. Michael Hoad is an actor whose works I’ve typically covered from his trajectory in action and choreography, per this site’s purview. That’s not to overlook his pursuits as an actor, which is something not too far off for anyone in his particular field, and so it makes sense for me to spotlight his latest collaborative work now available on Amazon Prime in the U.S. for rental or purchase. For this, we turn to Eric Garson’s feature debut, Trophy Wife, presumptively a tale of a loving marriage that’s revealed to be more toxic than thought. This is at least what the title and inoccuous poster would have you believe, unless you’ve seen the trailer which doles out at least one nugget of peculiar sci-fi intrigue. […]

Independent UK Martial Arts Drama THE MAN FROM THE MOUNTAIN In The Works At Lost Boys Films [EXCLUSIVE]
Independent filmmaker Michael Hoad is developing The Man From The Mountain, signaling his move into feature film territory for his Lost Boys Films independent banner. The film is billed as an ode to late 80s fish-out-of-water action movies and British crime stories, with heavy influences from Korean noire cinema, and odd-couple buddy features. Hoad is now a year-and-a-half into the project, and currently has two rising talents on board: actor and stunt performer Jon Xue Zhang and actor Serhat Metin. Soner Metin will serve as cinematographer. Zhang will star as Chen, a Chinese warrior monk who emerges from mountain-top isolation, arriving to London upon receiving an urgent letter from his long lost sister. Metin will tackle the role of Dillon, a struggling comic book artist with problems of his own. The two discover each other during their unrelenting quest as they tread through London’s seedy underbelly, confronting ruthless gangsters and […]

BLOOD CHOKE RETRIBUTION Review: A Brutal Paint-By-Numbers Revenge Thriller Short With A Serious Death Grip
Actor and filmmaker Michael Hoad has been in my purview for as long as I’ve followed a number of UK stunt talents. His latest push in the past few years since doing it up in Cannes for Jean Paul-Ly’s The Division and his own forthcoming sci-fi action proof, Soner Metin’s Insurrection, currently brings us Blood Choke Retribution, a project that clearly speaks to the fanbase it aims for going forward. Save for the similar-seeming revenge tropes, Hoad, Blood Choke Retribution is a pretty simple short story to follow telling of Jack, a former special forces soldier on early leave whose hometown arrival and reunion with the wife are sourly interrupted by the emergence of a burgeoning gang looking to escalate. Jack is rendered half-blind and beaten, and his wife raped and murdered in retaliation for Jack’s meddling; Blood Choke Retribution begins in the wake of that tragedy just as Jack […]
