by Logan Myerz

Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Bruce McDonald, best known for his 2008 zombie film Pontypool, about his newest dystopian noir thriller, Dreamland.  The film brings a solid cast of actors including Stephen McHattie, Henry Rollins, and Juliette Lewis. Dreamland reunites the director with the film’s star, Stephen McHattie, who plays the two lead roles, and screenwriter Tony Burgess, who co-scripted the film with Patrick Whistler. In the interview, Bruce McDonald discusses making the film, working with the cast, and shares his advice for up and coming filmmakers.

Review – Creepshow (2019) : Season 1

by Old King Clancy

Let me start off this review with a confession; I have not seen the original Creepshow. I’ve seen clips from it, mostly regarding cockroaches and country bumpkin accent, but I’ve never found the opportunity to see the full film. That being said, I’m aware of its cult status and when news came about of an anthology series from Greg Nicotero, I took interest. I’ve been familiar with Nicotero’s work on The Walking Dead and with TV often outclassing films for production values, the Creepshow series had a lot of promise.

by Kevin Muller

The oceans occupy 71% of this planet. As humans, our knowledge of what is down there is limited. Over the years, scientists have deep dived and discovered many unknown organisms. We have always been concerned about life from the above, but maybe we should be as concerned with what lies beneath us. That is the plot of the sci-fi film, Underwater. Does the film do something interesting with this idea or does it sink?

“CREEPSHOW, the new anthology series based on the 1982 horror comedy classic, is still the most fun you’ll ever have being scared! A comic book comes to life in a series of twelve vignettes over six episodes, exploring terrors from murder to the supernatural and unexplainable. Haunted dollhouses, werewolves, murderous goblins, villainous trick-or-treaters, the dead, and medical marvels are just a few of the things to watch out for in this new series. You never know what will be on the next page…”
