SUITABLE FLESH makes its Shudder debut on January 26, and is also available on home video. The body horror film is a modern, gender-swapped take on H.P. Lovecraft’s novella “The Thing on the Doorstep.” Most of SUITABLE FLESH is in the form of an extended flashback, as psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Derby (Heather Graham), currently confined to a padded cell, explains her version of recent events to her friend and colleague Dr. Daniella Upton, played by Barbara Crampton (one of the film’s producers). Joe Lynch directed and is one of the executive producers on SUITABLE FLESH, which was written for the […]Read On »

People who tuned in expecting a follow-up to George Lucas’s 1977 hit movie instead got two hours of something that made fans and civilians alike wonder, “How did this happen?” It’s taken forty-five years, but A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE, subtitled “How the […]Read On »

PARASOMNIA is Sleeping Beauty reimagined as a contemporary gothic horror story. In director/writer/exec producer/digital effects artist William Malone’s feature, Laura Baxter (Cherilyn Wilson) is a young woman suffering from parasomnia, a rare (but real-world) condition that causes her to sleep almost continually. Danny Sloan (Dylan Purcell, aka Dylan M. McKnight) attempts to free her from the control of the evil Byron Volpe (Patrick Kilpatrick). The film features serial killings, a monster apparently made of twigs that lurks in a world of rotating mirrors, musical automatons, and more. It was originally released in 2008 in a version that wasn’t fully what […]Read On »

Wisely, the new THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER doesn’t attempt to do that. Instead, it […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Aiden Gillen, Aisling Kearns, Gary Lydon, Helen Behan, Deirdre Donnelly, Liam Carney, Irma Mali, Steve Wall Writers: Fiona Bergin & Fintan Connolly Director: Fintan Connolly Distributor: Brainstorm Media Release Date: September 22, 2023 BARBER is in many ways solidly in the tradition of the private eye thriller. However, there are several changes from convention. For one, we’re in present-day Dublin, somewhere in COVID times; lockdown is over, but nobody is sure when or wear to wear masks, when to shake hands. And nobody carries a gun. Our hero, Valentine Barber (Aiden Gillen), is a low-rent private […]Read On »

TWO STRIKES | ©2023 PBS

BS HIGH: Filmmakers Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe on new HBO documentary – Exclusive Interview

BS HIGH theoretically stands for Bishop Sycamore High, the institution at the heart of the documentary by filmmakers Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe. However, the title of the doc, which is now available on HBO and Max, could hardly be more appropriate in the more colloquial sense of “BS.” On August 29, 2021, ESPN televised a high school football game between Bishop Sycamore and the top-ranked-for-football IMG Academy. Bishop Sycamore did so badly, and had so many player injuries, that it wasn’t just a case of a blowout score in favor of IMG; questions arose as to how such […]Read On »
