Posted: 17 Apr 2014 05:00 PM PDT

Brian Netto's POV horror film Delivery has received a fair bit of attention here at Twitch over the past couple years and curious horror fans will soon be able to see why with word that the film (with freshly extended title) will hit VOD platforms from The Collective on May 27th with a limited theatrical release following on May 30th.

MPI And Spectrevision Team To Bring Swedish Indie SciFi LFO To US Audiences

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 04:00 PM PDT

For the past couple years at Fantastic Fest I have taken to getting international directors drunk and making them review their own films. One such director to succumb to my boozie entreaties at the 2013 edition of the festival was Sweden's Antonio Tublen who rambled on about (sort of about, anyway) his scifi effort LFO here. Nope, it doesn't make sense to me, either, but we had a lot of fun doing it. And very soon audiences who want to try to decipher what exactly was going on in Tublen's brain as he wrote this will have the chance to do so with word that Spectrevision - the genre imprint owned and operated by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah and Josh Waller - have come aboard...

COLD IN JULY: Watch The Gritty US Trailer For Jim Mickle's Latest

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 03:30 PM PDT

Yeah, we've got a thing for Jim Mickle around these parts. That's because he's very, very good with a filmography that dives deep into the seedy underbelly of Americana. that Mickle hasn't really broken through to a mass audience yet is - in my opinion - very much an indictment of that audience and not at all of Mickle's work as he has yet to take anything even remotely approaching a mis-step. All of which is to say that his latest effort - the grimy revenge thriller Cold In July - is very, very good.In 1980s East Texas, two fathers pitted against each other in revenge must band together to uncover a darker truth. Michael C Hall, Don Johnson and Sam Shepard star in this...

Review: TRANSCENDENCE Tries Too Hard, Fails Utterly

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 03:00 PM PDT

Most of the ingredients are here for something special - a decent enough cast, the man behind the visuals of most of Christopher Nolan's works, and a high-concept sci-fi thriller that delves into such heady topics as "neo-ludites" and the metaphysical nature of the soul.Alas, Transcendence, Wally Pfister's directorial debut, is an absolute mess. From its opening shots, in which the camera focuses on a falling rain drop, we know we're in for something dreary and dull. It's as if the whole thing is trying too hard right from the outset, trying to be both populist and poetic, and failing on both fronts.Save for these overt, gimmicky flourishes, it's almost startling that the one thing one could count on about the film, that it would...

Review: KILLING LOVE Kills Off Comic Potential Way Too Quickly

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 01:00 PM PDT

Polish mainstream comedy has been in a state of stagnation for quite some time now. The many recent attempts at reviving its former glory, unfortunately, almost always ended in -- more or less comical -- disaster. It seems that the country's filmmakers have secretly agreed that what should constitute a hilarious and crowd-pleasing film are excessive vulgarity and nudity, banal acting (female roles are downplayed if not invisible), little to no narration, and jokes that rarely hit the mark. It may seem harsh, but it's drastically hard to name even ten comedies released in the last decade that would be worth recommending to someone who's not really into lowbrow entertainment.Jakub Niescierow hasn't directed a single feature in the last twelve years, focusing on writing scripts for...

Imagine 2014 Review: DEADLY VIRTUES: LOVE. HONOUR. OBEY Is Lean, Mean, And Surprising

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 12:00 PM PDT

(An alternative title could be "Home Invasion: Rope. Torture. Show.") One of the titles world premiering at the Imagine film Festival Amsterdam this year is Ate de Jong's Deadly Virtues: Love. Honour. Obey., his first film since the costly flop The Bombardment two years ago. This new film is a lot leaner and meaner, though, a home invasion thriller with some surprises up its sleeve. In it, a young couple gets assaulted and bound by a vicious stranger on a Friday night, and he proceeds to torture them throughout an entire weekend. The audience is left wondering the same thing as the victims: What the hell is wrong with this guy? What does he want? And will he end up killing them? The plot thickens...

KANE: Canada's Unstable Ground Options Douglas Borton's Horror Novel

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 11:30 AM PDT

Heh. I was just with these two fine people last night sharing a pre-screening drink. I caught wind of something in the conversations around the table last night, and here we are this morning announcing that Canadian production outfit Unstable Ground has optioned the film rights to Douglas Borton's horror novel Kane. Unstable Ground's Justin McConnell (The Collapsed and Skull World) and Dread Central's Serena Whitney will be adapting the novel for film. Both are a fixture in Toronto's cult and horror cinema scene so I am confident that this adaptation is in good hands. They will co-produce the film with Indiecan Entertainment's Avi Federgreen.Kane is a force of nature. Walking out of the desert into the dying town of Tuskett, which only 23 people still...

Not for Those with Murophobia: Teasers for Guillermo del Toro's THE STRAIN

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 11:00 AM PDT

Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's brilliant vampire book The Strain will be coming to television via FX this summer. A new short teaser was just released, showing the impending, dooming darkness about to befall New York City and the world. I'm a big fan of the trilogy (the other two books are The Fall and The Night Eternal). They are thorough researched and realized stories, terrifying both in the vampire mythology, and and chillingly realistic portrayal the swift destruction of the human race, as much from our own hubris and ignorance as from the monsters.A Boeing 777 lands at JFK airport and suddenly shuts down, with all but four passengers seemingly dead. As Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) of the CDC and his co-worker Dr. Nora Martinez...

Review: SOFT IN THE HEAD, A Drama That Hits Hard, Harder, Hardest

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT

Filmmaker Nathan Silver's cinema is a cinema of people. Hard and foul and furious and loveable and resilient people.Now I know that may seem like a rather odd statement to make, when, after all cinema is full of people. But it seems to me that even many small scale, or quote unquote "low-budget" films, are often adhering to a narrative formula or pattern that can feel rather safe, limiting or even suffocating when it comes to showing us, well, people. Attempts towards genuine, human qualities... to not merely mimic but capture something of real life, or rather the spontaneity of it, finds itself on that fine line between controlled chaos and all-out mayhem, something beyond the narrative grammar we readily know and understand, in that...

Review: PROXY Dwells On The Dark Side Of Parenthood

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:00 AM PDT

Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome is a relatively rare form of child abuse that involves the exaggeration or fabrication of illnesses or symptoms by a primary caregiver. The central idea around which everything swirls in Zack Parker's Proxy is as brilliant as it is dark, exaggerating a real medical condition in a similar fashion to what David Cronenberg did with the hysteria and outcry when soft core skin flicks were shown on local TV stations - the result was Videodrome - or how Paul Solet examined, in his film Grace, how newborn children sap the resources of their mothers and bring about an anxious protectiveness. The best horror movies exaggerate the anxieties of our times. Proxy illustrates how the egos and minds of new parents (or...

David Michôd's The Rover starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson was just announced as part of the Official Selection for the Cannes Film Festival this morning. And the production company A24 Films released the first full trailer as a follow up. There are also two teaser posters, as well as two new images, all to be found in the gallery below.And zowie!

The film will go nationwide on June 20. Keep your eyes peeled because this looks like your next dose...

Review: 13 SINS, An Ambitious, Gruesome Thriller

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 07:00 AM PDT

Nicely-demented, Daniel Stamm's 13 Sins functions best as a gruesome thriller with a sense of humor. The deck is stacked quite heavily against Elliot (Mark Webber), a salesman who's preparing to marry his pregnant girlfriend Shelby (Rutina Wesley, from True Blood). Elliot is fired, cruelly and unexpectedly, by his arrogant, macho boss. That means Elliot will no longer be able to care financially for his mentally-disabled brother Tom (Devon Graye). To add to Elliot's financial and emotional woes, his bitter, racist father (Tom Bower) is about to be evicted from an assisted living facility. Elliot feels he has no choice but to move his Caucasian old man into the home he shares with Shelby, who is African-American, and his mentally-disabled brother. Sitting alone in his...
