Reach Me (2014)
Somehow, over the last several weeks, I’ve encountered more than three John Herzfeld movies — Switchback, Escape Plan The Extractors, Cannonball (he acted in that Roger Corman produced film) — and now this film. To get the cast he needed for this movie, Herzfeld started with old friend Sylvester Stallone, who he’s known since the two were roommates […]
Doll Factory (2014)
Here’s the synopsis of this movie from writer/director Stephen Wolfe (Midnight Abyss): “Mark and Kay are out with friends, looking for thrills on Halloween night when a playful ritual takes a turn for the horrific. After unknowingly awakening dozens of possessed baby dolls, their town seems set for destruction and chaos. But with the help […]
The Editor (2014)
Astron-6 is — well, was as the recent release of the collected Divorced Dad is supposedly their last project together — a Canadian film production and directing company founded in 2007 by Adam Brooks and Jeremy Gillespie which later expanded to add Matt Kennedy, Conor Sweeney and Steven Kostanski. They’re known for producing low-budget horror/comedy […]
Space Trucker Bruce (2014)
Sam’s note: R.D Francis is back with another movie I’ve never seen. Imagine what that entails. Please enjoy! In the space of one of my favorite sci-fi movies, a breakthrough in gravity control allowed mankind to colonize the solar system . . . and someone has to haul the 20,000 pounds of Texco’s Iowa-bred hogfat-fuel from […]
The Expendables 3 (2014)
When Stallone was looking for new blood to make the next Expendables movie, he looked to director Patrick Hughes, who had only made one movie and several high profile commercials at the time (he would go on to make The Hitman’s Bodyguard). That theme — of the next generation — is what this movie is all about. […]
Petals on the Wind (2014)
Ten years after escaping from their mother, the surviving Dollanganger children — Cathy, Chris and Carrie — have tried to move on with their lives. But now, Cathy decides that enough is enough. She’s finally ready to take her horrible revenge on her mother, vengeance that was only hinted upon in the first film. After […]
Flowers In the Attic (2014)
Has any author been more made for Lifetime than V.C. Andrews? Nope. So it was no surprise when the network announced that four movies based on the Dollanganger saga would begin airing on its network in 2014. Unlike the 1987 theatrical film, the ending follows the book. Of course, it’s the same basic story of […]
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
This movie was called “the first Iranian vampire western”, even though it was shot in Taft, California. It’s all about a lonesome vampire in the Iranian ghost town known as Bad City. It’s also a Tarantino combination of influences, in black and white, that will either make you say, “Wow, that’s art” or “Huh, that’s self-indulgent tripe.” Arash […]
WolfCop (2014)
The first film picked for production from the CineCoup Film Accelerator, WolfCop won a contest that gave $1 million dollars and a guaranteed theater showing nationwide at Canada’s Cineplex Odeon theatre chain. They spent most of that money on the elaborate special effects werewolf transformation sequences in the film. It totally shows — this isn’t just […]
