A24 releases The Blackcoat’s Daughter Trailer !
On behalf of A24, we are pleased to share a trailer from THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER . The film premieres in theaters March 31, 2017 and is now available exclusively on DirecTV.
Written and directed by Osgood “Oz” Perkins (I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House), the film stars Emma Roberts (Fox’s “Scream Queens,” FX’s “American Horror Story”), Kiernan Shipka (AMC’s “Mad Men,” Lifetime’s “Flowers in the Attic”), Lucy Boynton (Sing Street, Don’t Knock Twice), Lauren Holly (ABC’s “Motive,” Dumb & Dumber), and James Remar (Showtime’s “Dexter,” Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, The Warriors).
A deeply atmospheric and terrifying new horror film, The Blackcoat’s Daughter centers on Kat (Kiernan Shipka) and Rose (Lucy Boynton), two girls who are left alone at their prep school Bramford over winter break when their parents mysteriously fail to pick them up. While the girls experience increasingly strange and creepy occurrences at the isolated school, we cross cut to another story—that of Joan (Emma Roberts), a troubled young woman on the road, who, for unknown reasons, is determined to get to Bramford as fast as she can. As Joan gets closer to the school, Kat becomes plagued by progressively intense and horrifying visions, with Rose doing her best to help her new friend as she slips further and further into the grasp of an unseen evil force. The movie suspensefully builds to the moment when the two stories will finally intersect, setting the stage for a shocking and unforgettable climax.

EXCLUSIVE – Chris chats with director Jon Manning!
Intimacy and Activism:
An Interview with Jon Manning
The early months of 2017 have been dominated by political concerns over bodies. The Women’s March on Washington in January, as well as President Trump’s proposed travel ban on citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries and his withdrawal of protective measures for transgender students in public schools have put immigration reform, racial equality, women’s rights, and other issues centering on the regulation of bodies in the news every day. This dangerous context is what makes director Jon Manning’s new documentary, Burlesque: Heart of Glitter Tribe, essential viewing. Not only does it educate us about the often misunderstood art form of burlesque, it also gives us an alternative blueprint for using art as a type of activism.
The film, produced by XLrator Media, follows several performers who share personal stories about the role burlesque performance plays in their lives. Angelique DeVil, Zora Von Pavonine, Babs Jamboree, Stage Door Johnnies, Sandria Dore’, Isaiah Esquire, Violet Ohmigod, Russell Bruner, and Ivizia Dakini each give nuanced perspectives that elevate our understanding of burlesque from sexual objectification to artistic empowerment. And that’s just the beginning. I got the chance to discuss Burlesque: Heart of Glitter Tribe with Mr. Manning before it hits theaters March 3rd and VOD platforms/iTunes on March 7th. We chatted about giving burlesque a unique identity, the role comedy plays in generating intimacy, and how burlesque shows help build community.
Review – Get Out
by Nile Fortner
Get Out is the new film brought to you by one-half of the comedy duo Key & Peele, Jordan Peele (Key & Peele, Keanu). It is a dark comedy and a horror film, that currently has a 99 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. So I can imagine that this film is really good.
The movie focuses on a cute and young interracial couple. Chris, played by Daniel Kaluuya (Johnny English Reborn, Sicario) and his girlfriend Rose, played by Allison Williams (Peter Pan Live!) are at that stage where they have reached a milestone in their relationship and are getting ready for the first encounter. They’re at the point in their relationship where Rose wants Chris to meet her parents. Were you expecting me to say they are having a different kind of encounter? Get your mind outta the gutter for a second.
Review – Logan (2017)
In the summer of 2000, a comic-book movie based on Marvel’s X-Men series was released featuring a then unknown actor called Hugh Jackman who had been brought in last minute to play the role of Wolverine. 17 years, 9 cinematic outings and a lifetime of being regarded as one of the most perfectly casted comic-book characters ever put to film, and Jackman takes his iconic role to its final swan song with Logan. Whether this is Jackman’s last turn as the character or not remains to be seen, but if it is, then finally being able to see a no-holds-barred, R-Rated Wolverine movie would’ve been enough but this last ride gives enough poignancy to stand out from the brutality, giving us one of, if not the absolute finest chapter in the X-Film History.
