An Interview With Actress Valerie Jane Parker About Her Role In The Supernatural-Horror ‘The Voices’

After a terrible car accident, Lilly, a young girl loses her sight but gains the ability to hear the dead. As she grows older and builds a good life with her husband, when she becomes pregnant the voices become louder, wanting their souls to be chosen to become her baby’s. That’s the premise of award-winning filmmaker Nathaniel Nuon’s The Voices starring actress Valerie Jane Parker (Wrong Turn 2021) in the role of Lilly (as an adult). I sat down with Valarie to discuss her role in the film. Horror Fuel: “How difficult was it to play someone who has lost their sight?” Valarie Jane Parker: “It was a challenge but I enjoyed the challenge. The main thing for me was I wanted to make sure that I made the portrait authentic. I didn’t want it to be cheap or fake in any way, so I spent about a month preparing for it. I watched a bunch of documentaries on how

‘Wrong Turn’ Director Mike P. Nelson Talks Traps And Much More In Our Interview

It’s rare these days, but sometimes a reboot outdoes the original. That’s the case with 2021’s Wrong Turn from director Mike P. Nelson, which is a little more sophisticated than its predecessors, but just as bloody. I sat down with the director to talk about the film. HorrorFuel: “I must say, I was impressed by Wrong Turn, it’s rare that I say I love a reboot, so take it as a serious compliment.” Mike P. Nelson: “Awesome! It’s a little different.” HorrorFuel: “It feels a little more sophisticated, I guess that’s a good way to explain it. I was a little worried when it was first announced. I always am when I hear the word “reboot.” I wondered just how different it would be. Mike P. Nelson: “Oh, well thank you. Oh my gosh, well I mean, that was a gamble we took with this one. We were like, ‘We either do it all the way or we don’t do

Review: Wrong Turn (2021) Is A Bloody Good Movie

Every time I hear the words remake or reboot I cringe. In fact, I usually avoid them altogether, but after watching the new Wrong Turn movie that may be changing. It’s proof that they can be better than the original. The trailer piqued my interest so I decided what the hell, I’ll give it a shot, and boy am I glad I did. In the film, while hiking the Appalachian Trail, a group of friends begins stumbling into traps. Believing that someone is out to kill them, one of the group kills a hunter, setting off a disturbing chain of events. The Wrong Turn franchise is known for its brutal kills from both the inbred hillbilly family and their nasty traps. In Mike P. Nelson’s new version we get the traps that we’ve come to expect and the kills are still brutal, but it’s a very different movie than the original. While the 2003 original has its own unique charm,

A New ‘Wrong Turn’ Is Headed Your Way

It seems Hollywood’s obsession with remakes shows no sign of slowing. The latest film to be getting a new version is 2003’s hillbilly freak fest Wrong Turn, which spawned six sequels. Fans of the franchise can sigh a small breath of relief though because franchise creator Alan McElroy is writing the new script and The Domestics’ Mike P. Nelson will be in director’s chair. The new version is described as “a timely and topical meditation on society and its issues. A cross-country hiking expedition puts a group of friends in the land of an inclusive society, where they soon discover they are under a different rule of law, and may not be the victims they thought they were.” Constantin Film’s Robert Kulzer will be producing with Martin Moszkowicz executive producing. In the original film, six people find themselves trapped in the woods of West Virginia, hunted down by cannibalistic mountain men, disfigured by generations of inbreeding.
