A Woman Is Out For Revenge This September In ‘The Madness Inside Me’

From award-winning writer-director, Matthew Berkowitz comes the twist-filled thriller The Madness Inside Me, out this September. In the film, “Madison Taylor (Merrin Dungey) is a forensic psychiatrist, spending her days interviewing prison inmates and her evenings with her husband Jeremy. When Jeremy is killed in a home invasion by Francis Tate (Devon Graye), her world begins to turn itself inside out. Madison’s fascination with morbid crime begins to gnaw away at her character. She becomes sleepless and now spends her evenings stalking and photographing strangers. She refuses to identify her husband’s killer and instead chooses to stalk him for revenge.

New Clip From ‘Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman’ Shows The Killer In Action

Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman, starring Chad Michael Murray (The Haunting In Connecticut 2: Ghosts Of Georgia, and “Riverdale”) as the infamous serial killer, is headed your way. To celebrate this week’s release we have got a new clip that shows an example of how Bundy used fake injuries to trick his victims into coming close. A specter roams the highways of a gritty and decadent 1970s America, hunting for his next prey—his name is Ted Bundy (Chad Michael Murray). Tracking him down is the intrepid female detective Kathleen McChesney (Holland Roden), working out of the Seattle Police bureau, and rookie FBI profiler Robert Ressler (Jake Hays), the government agent who coined the term “serial killer.” This is the true story behind the manhunt that brought America’s most fearsome boogeyman to justice. Daniel Farrands (The Haunting in Connecticut) wrote and directed the film that also stars Lin Shaye (Insidious franchise, The Grudge, Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels) and Holland Roden (Escape

Her only means of defense: a new app called “See For Me”, which matches her with a volunteer across the country who uses Sophie’s cell phone to see on her behalf. Stubbornly independent, Sophie is reluctant to accept help until she is connected to Kelly, an army veteran who spends her days playing first-person shooter games. As the game of

Two Girls Find Themselves At The Center Of A Murder Investigation In ‘What Breaks The Ice’

Two friends. One secret. During the tumultuous summer of 1998, two young women find themselves at the center of a murder investigation in What Breaks the Ice. This coming-of-age thriller stars a trio of young Hollywood’s A-listers including Madelyn Cline (“Outer Banks”, Knives Out 2), Sofia Hublitz (“Ozark”), and Lukas Gage (“The White Lotus”). From writer-director Rebecca Eskreis, the film starts as a sweet, idyllic coming-of-age story about female empowerment and friendship, but soon takes a dark and powerful turn. As the socio-political landscape is turned on its head, two girls from different worlds form an unlikely friendship in the sweltering summer heat. Their fun and carefree days quickly turn cold as they find themselves at the center of a murder that rocks an idealistic East Coast community. Catherine Curtin (“Homeland”), Aimee Mullins (“Stranger Things”), Shakira Barrera (“GLOW”), and Joel Allen (The Purge) round out the cast. What Breaks the Ice is a movie that, above all, celebrates female friendship,”

Blu-ray Review: Brotherhood of the Wolf – Collector’s Edition (2001)

Picture it, France, 1764 a giant beast stalks the lands of Gévaudan and gives zero fucks when it comes to eating women and children. Enter: the knight Grégoire de Fronsac, (Samuel Le Bihan), the royal naturalist of King Louis XV of France, and his Iroquois/Mohawk martial-artist companion Mani (Mark Dacascos, who’s been in a ton of great stuff, but you doubtless know him as the host of Iron Chef America) two dudes hellbent on figuring out the exact nature of the beast… a beast all who have glimpsed it swear is a giant wolf! While investigatin’, Fronsac gets the hot n’ hornies for comely Marianne de Morangias (Émilie Dequenne), the daughter of a local count… who just so happens to have a one-armed brother named Jean-François (Vincent Cassel); the victim of a lion attack and a big-time hunter/pain-in-the-ass in his own right.

Blu-ray Review: No One Heard The Scream (1973)

Jet-setting, gold diggin’ beauty Elisa (Carmen Sevilla delivering the sexy in spades) peeps her neighbor Miguel (Vincente Parra), chucking his dead wife, Nuria (María Asquerino) down an elevator shaft… but it’s a double-peep back-fire as Miguel sees her seeing him and forces her to help him thus making her an accomplice and more likely to keep her flappin’ yapper closed, ya see? As you may not expect, Elisa digs on this action and goes balls deep in helping Miguel keep that lil’ indiscretion on the down low… until she doesn’t and tries to kill him… and then things go completely sideways. Spanish giallo (sort of) ensues! Coming hot on the heels of the previous year’s Cannibal Man (which I set my eerie eyeballs right here), but predating perhaps his most well-known work; the juvenile delinquent pictures he dove head first into in the early ‘80s (and which I covered right here), Eloy de la Iglesia’s No One Heard the Scream

Blu-ray Review: Eloy De La Iglesia’s Quinqui Collection (Navajeros, El Pico & El Pico 2)

Eloy de la Iglesia… now there is a mother fucker that wasn’t afraid to bring the seedy side of life to the silver screen (check out my review of his classic home invasion shocker Cannibal Man right here to bear witness to this) and Quinqui; a three-movie collection of his work, will only drive that point further home… not unlike a hypodermic needle straight to the ol’ hairy beanbag! Comprised of a trio of juvenile delinquent crime thrillers, Navajeros, El Pico & El Pico 2 to put a name to ‘em, these flicks are gritty, street-level, feel bad flicks through and through! Navajeros (1980) concerns José Manuel Gomez Perales or “El Jaro” ( José Luis Manzano) as he’s known among friends; a fifteen year-old criminal with a record a mile and a fuckin’ half long. Thankfully he spends most of his free time practicing the wholesome art of stealing purses with his rough n’ tumble pals. At night, El Jaro

New Clip From ‘The Last Thing Mary Saw’ Arrives Ahead Of FrightFest Debut

Writer-director Edoardo Vitaletti‘s feature debut, the occult horror-thriller The Last Thing Mary Saw, is heading to Shudder following its debut at FrightFest this week. To mark the occasion, Shudder has unveiled a new clip. The Last Thing Mary Saw begins in Southold, New York, 1843: Young Mary (Stefanie Scott, Insidious: Chapter 3), blood trickling from behind the blindfold tied around her eyes, is interrogated about the events surrounding her grandmother’s death. As the story jumps back in time, we witness Mary, raised in a repressively religious household, finding fleeting happiness in the arms of Eleanor (Isabelle Fuhrman, Orphan), the home’s maid. Her family, who believe they are seeing, speaking, and acting on God’s behalf, view the girls’ relationship as an abomination, to be dealt with as severely as possible. The couple attempts to carry on in secret, but someone is always watching, or listening, and the wages of perceived sin threaten to become death, with the tension only heightened by
