From the moment I heard about the new horror film The Unwilling, I was intrigued. Not only does it have a kickass cast (Hello! Lance-freaking-Henriksen!), but the plot sold me right away. For me, it was relatable in some ways. My mom had severe OCD while I was growing up. She’s …

For the last five years, all I’ve wanted to do is go camping in the summer. Life always gets in the way, and before I know it, another year goes by and camping did not happen. After watching Feral, I am now grateful that those plans have always fallen through. Directed …

When I first reported on filmmaker Ryan Swantek’s sophomoric project, Panther Ridge, I wasn’t quite sure what kind of film this was going to be. Would it be sexy? Disgusting? Terrifying? How about all three? I got the chance to check it out, and boy, was I surprised. Official Synopsis …

You’re a struggling actor in Hollywood, just trying to climb your way to the top. You’ve blown yet another audition, and now you have to take that drive-of-shame home. Suddenly, the answer to all of your problems literally falls from the sky and lands on your car. Would you make …
