DARK MATCH Throws Down The Gory Goods In The Official Trailer!
I tried like crazy last year to catch Lowell Dean’s head-bashing ringside horror, Dark Match, while it performed for Fantasia. Alas, that never came to pass, but the film is now poised for release via Shudder in the U.S., the U.K. & Ireland, and in Australia & New Zealand on January 31. A small-time wrestling company accepts a well-paying gig in a backwoods town only to learn, too late, that the community is run by a mysterious cult leader with devious plans for their match. The official trailer is here as well and delivering all the unhinged, R-rated violence and gore you would expect from a violent tourno wrestling spectacle from the man who brought you Wolfcop and its sequel. Dark Match stars Ayisha Issa, Steven Ogg, Sara Canning, Michael Eklund, and Jonathan Cherry, and wrestling superstar Chris Jericho. Catch the bloody new trailer below, and mind your viewing surroundings […]
GET AWAY Review: English Humor And Swedish Horror Delight Pave The Way For One Hell Of A Trip
Typically horror isn’t in my wheelhouse, but I do like to switch it up on occasion. That especially goes for films that pull off story concepts that bode as traditional until its makers take its viewers aback with mind-bending twists that reveal the director’s work as something entirely different that what it sets out to be in the mind’s eye. Get Away is exactly that kind of film, and from none other than director Steffen Haars and actor/screenwriter Nick Frost. Murky foreshadowing is the visual and atmospheric start to the more jubilant intro of the Smith family (played by Frost and actors Nick Frost, Aisling Bea, Sebastian Croft, and Maisie Ayres), whose trip to the remote Swedish island of Svalta is rife with annoying trivia and grim warnings from the locals before getting on the ferry. Once there, they come in contact with the unfriendly island villagers before connecting with […]
ARCADIAN Trailer Teases A Tale Of Monsters, Men, And Nicolas Cage In The New Survival Thriller

It’s about time too seeing as the first look was released over a year ago.

One day, Thomas doesn’t return home on time from a visit […]
