Women in Horror Spotlight: Jennifer Chambers Lynch

Jennifer Chambers Lynch is a writer, director, producer, actress and more! Her most notable horror release which is currently out is Chained, a 2012 horror film about a taxi driver who kidnaps women and murders them. The story centers around a young man he keeps after kidnapping the boy and his mother. The driver hopes to raise the boy as his protege. Her 2010 film Hisss was intended by her to be a love story, but ended up being presented as a horror film in the editing stages. (This prompted the writer/director to disown the piece, but we’ll still count it towards her horror contribution count!) More recently, Lynch has directed on The Walking Dead and she currently has a film entitled XX which is in pre-production stages. XX is set for release in 2016 and is to be an anthology of female-driven horror movie segments. Sounds exciting!

Interview With Actress Bianca Allaine Barnett

I recently had the chance to speak with ‘Albino Farm’ actress Bianca Allaine Barnett. The lovely lady and I had an interesting conversation that I would like to share with you. KM “What made you want to become an actress?” BB “I’m a huge fan of movies, especially independent and art films. I loved the idea of “movie magic” and wanted to learn how to be a part of visual storytelling, so I pursued an acting career.” KM “How did you start in entertainment?” BB “I started by modeling and then I had small roles in films. I also worked a bit as a background actor, but now I am working on the educational portion of my craft and studying acting.” KM “Your first major role was in he 2007 movie “The Devil’s Muse”, can you tell us a little about your role in the movie?” BB “I had the opportunity to do some improv during the scenes, which was

Movie Review : WolfCop (2015)

Lou Garou (Leo Fafard) is a lazy alcoholic and a poor excuse for a cop, that is until he is transformed into an ass kicking werewolf, with a taste for justice. One night while out on a call to break up a party out in the woods, Lou is hit from behind. He wakes in the morning with flashes of the night before , a murdered politician and a strange ceremony. ‘WolfCop’ is cleaning up the city’s dirt-bags and leaving a trail of bodies behind. After being seduced by a beautiful bartender (Sarah Lind), he finds himself in serious trouble, but it’s hard to keep a good wolf down. Amy Matysio (‘Just Friends’) plays the role of uptight Officer Tina. Lou’s friend Willie, who’s a little “off”, is played by Jonathan Cherry. Cherry had rolls in both ‘Final Destination 2’ and 2003’s ‘House of the Dead’. Lowell Dean wrote and directed this horror-comedy masterpiece. ‘WolfCop’ was gory, cheesy, over the

Movie Review : Final Prayer (2014)

A team, sent by the Vatican, arrives in a small town to authenticate, or dispel, the supernatural activity claims of a church. As the three men begin their investigation into the events things quickly go from bad to worse. What the team discovers is bigger than they could ever have imagined. ‘Final Prayer’ stars Gordon Kennedy (Red Faction:Origins) as Deacon, the veteran investigator. Aiden McArdle (Me and Orson Welles) plays Mark, the new tech guy. Father Gray, the priest in charge, is played by Robin Hill (Kill List). ‘Final Prayer’ was written and directed Elliot Goldner. ‘Final Prayer’ accomplished what most movies can’t, spooking me. The movie was well executed, the effects were simple yet effective and the twist at the end is something we haven’t seen before. ‘Final Prayer’ was surprising, which is rare these days. I actually caught my self hiding my face behind my dog a time or two. I haven’t experienced that feeling in a long

“Women in Horror Spotlight”: Kathryn Bigelow

Odds are that if you are familiar with director/producer/writer Kathryn Bigelow it will be for her Drama/Thriller pieces like K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) starring Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson, or for her outstanding work on The Hurt Locker (2008) for which she was the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director, she won the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing, she won the BAFTA Award for Best Direction, and she also earned the Critics Choice Award for Best Director. (This is on top of the awards that the film won on its own.) She is also the directorial force behind the recent blockbuster, Zero Dark Thirty (2012). The reason why Bigelow has earned a nod here is due to a western horror film she wrote and directed in 1987 towards the beginning of her career. The film was called New Dark and was about a small town farmer’s son who is turned into a vampire
