HELLIONS: Bruce McDonald Shares The First Bloody Still And Discusses Shooting In Infra Red

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 10:00 AM PST

Last week I found myself driving through the countryside outside Hamilton, Ontario, where I eventually rolled up to a small working farm populated by very small horses, regular sized horses, and ten or so llamas who were not even remotely interested in my presence. Well fine, llamas, I wasn't there for you anyway.The point of the drive was inside the house where iconic Canadian director Bruce McDonald was making his return to the horror genre, his first foray into this territory since Pontypool. Working with a nimble crew and just a pair of cast members on this particular day - leading lady Chloe Rose and genre staple Robert Patrick - McDonald et al were in the home stretch of production on the upcoming Hellions.

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 08:30 AM PST

The bookends of Borgy Torre's Kabisera are presented with such disarmingly romantic flair that they immediately stand out from the gritty reality that consumes most of the film. Andres (Joel Torre) sits in the head of the table, while the rest of his family are eating dinner. In both the opening and the ending, Andres is all smiles, delighted in seeing his family intact and sharing a meal together. The stark difference lies with Andres' family, all of whom exchange their immaculate smiles in the film's opening with the tears and gestures of resignation in the ending. Only Andres is left in a state of joy, obviously oblivious of tragedy. Kabisera opens with a dream. It ends with a nightmare. Everything in between is a...
