‘Unfriended’, A Horror Movie About Social Media

The new horror movie ‘Unfriended’ tells the story of Laura Barns,the most popular girl in school, who got drunk and passed out at a party. One of the girls friends captured the entire night on video. Afterwards the friend uploaded the video on FaceBook, and Laura gets repeatedly ridiculed on the site, until she commits suicide. After her death, six of her friends gather on a Skype session to talk on the anniversary of Laura’s death, but suddenly Laura’s account is logged into by an unseen entity. Her ghost is angry and determined to make them pay. ‘Unfriended’ is found footage movie aimed at younger horror fans. The movie has an interesting tag line “Online, your memories last forever. But so do your mistakes.” The movie sounds more like a social media public service announcement than a horror flick. Laura, the main character, is played by Heather Sossaman (‘Hollywood Kills’ and ‘10.0 Earthquake’). Shelley Hennig, who starred in 2014’s ‘Ouija’

The McCoubrey Brothers’ Short Film ‘The Grey Matter’ (2014)

Today I stumbled across the short film titled ‘The Grey Matter’, the best way I can describe it is strange , but very cool and extremely well done. The eighteen minute film begins with a man named Simon, laying in an alley. After waking up and returning home Simon discovers a big hole in the back of his head. Not thinking much about it, he bandages it and heads off to his dead end job. Life is about to get strange and complicated for Simon. ‘The Grey Matter’ comes from a talented duo, the McCoubrey Brothers. Pete McCoubrey wrote the screenplay and he and his brother Luke McCoubrey directed the film together. The McCoubrey brothers have been involved with movies such as ‘An American Werewolf in London’ and ‘Return of the Living Dead’. ‘The Grey Matter’ stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the soft spoken Simon Peterson. Bachrach also had roles in ‘The Last Ship’ TV series and ‘Come Out And Play’

An Interview With Michael Kehoe Writer/Director Of ‘Hush’.

Michael Kehoe has had a long history in Hollywood. He began his career as Sylvester Stallone’s assistant during the filming of ‘Rocky IV (1985).

Movie Review: The Taking Of Deborah Logan (2014)

A group of documentary filmmakers visit the home of Deborah Logan and her daughter to make a film about the effects of Alzheimer’s. Deborah is experiencing the later affects of the disease, or so they thought. Soon the filmmakers begin to notice odd things captured on the video tapes. It is not long before it is clear to them that something more sinister is at work. Jill Larson plays the role of Deborah Logan and she does an incredible job. Larson was a regular on ‘All My Children’ and also starred in the movie ‘Shutter Island’ (2010). The role of Sarah, Deborah’s dedicated daughter, was played by Anne Ramsey (‘Dexter’). The documentary filmmakers were played by Michelle Ang (‘Outrageous Fortune’) , Jeremy DeCarlos (‘Ben 10’) and Brett Gentile (‘We’re The Millers’). The Taking Of Deborah Logan was written by Gavin Heffernan and Adam Robitel. Writer/director Adam Robitel (X-Men) really did a great job on this movie. This movie hits from

Movie Review: Horns (2015)

This afternoon I was lucky enough to snatch up the last copy of ‘Horns’ off the shelf of my local Wal-Mart. As soon as I got home I sat down to see for myself what all the buzz was about. I was immediately drawn into the tragic love story of a young woman, Merrin, who was murdered and a town convinced that her boyfriend “Ig” is her killer. Iggy, played by Daniel Radcliffe , is hell bent on finding the identity of her killer and bringing them to justice. After a drunken night Ig wakes up to find horns sprouting from his head. The strange horns have unique powers. Everyone who faces Ig must confess to him their darkest truths and cannot help but follow Ig’s commands. The effects and makeup in ‘Horns’ are fantastic. The imagery was incredible. ‘Horns’ truly has an amazing cast and Daniel Radcliffe really brings his character to life. I don’t think anyone could have

An Interview With KRUEL’s Director Robert Henderson

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Robert Henderson, the director of Sunset Studios’ new indie movie KRUEL, a horror/thriller about an obsessed psychotic ice cream man who stalks and abducts a young woman. KRUEL will be in select theaters May 29, 2015. You can read the full article about KRUEL here: https://horrorfuel.com/horror/reviews-horror/a-first-look-at-kruel-2015 “Writer/director Robert Henderson fell in love with movies at a young age, in large part due to his mother’s (a former stage actor) love for everything entertainment. Before her death at a relatively early age, he promised her he would one day succeed in the passion they both shared. After attending the University of Colorado, where he studied theater as a minor, he began to pursue his passion as an actor and eventual screen writer. He co-wrote the drama To Heir is Human which was directed by his brother. He almost got his first big break when Universal Studios accepted his western script Come Hell or High-water

Movie Review : Camp Dread (2014)

At Camp Dread nothing is what it seems to be. Campers who have legal, drug or other serious issues have been forced to go to the camp by their parents. The campers have a choice to go head to head in a competition on what they think is a reality show. The last camper standing wins one million dollars. What the campers don’t realize is that writer/director Julian Barrett played by Eric Roberts, has something more devious in mind for the teens. This movie has twists you never see coming. With a fresh idea and unique story line writer/director Harrison Smith brings back the feel of the slasher summer camp movies of the 80’s. Made on a small budget, Camp Dread still packs quite a punch. This movie is a great fit for slasher movie fans. Camp Dread stars Eric Roberts, who has had roles in over a hundred movies including The Dark Knight, The Human Centipede III and Assault
