Stars: Marco Canadea, Paul Leonard Murray, Aleksandar Papajic, Leslie Soo | Written by Stefan Andrejic | Directed by Petar Pasic
An anthropology professor is kicked out of his University just as he is claiming to be on the threshold of an apocalyptic discovery. While on suspension he becomes a pond-keeper and gets closer to his revelation. Something is also keeping a close eye on him
What initially drew me to The Pond was a couple of the promotional images. So it should come as no surprise to me that the best thing about The Pond is the imagery it creates. It has creepy, strange and sometimes unnerving imagery in the bucket load. Sometimes coming in the form of masked characters but with no two feeling too similar. It might be two sisters wearing paper bags with faces drawn on them or a man who holds a type of shovel in front of...

"The fish is running out of time." Scream Factory has released an official trailer for a very strange, trippy, visually distinct thriller titled The Pond, made by a Serbian filmmaker named Petar Pasic. This hasn't hit any film festivals but is dropping straight to VOD next month for anyone curious about it. Marco Canadea stars as an anthropology professor kicked out from his university for claiming to be on the threshold of an apocalyptic discovery. But someone or something is still interested in his work. As he begins to descend into madness, his hallucinations revealing something sinister is after him... The cast also includes Leslie Kunz and Paul Leonard Murray. I have no idea if this will be any good, but I love films that take bold risks doing some new and different. So many weird and astonishing and Wtf shots in this trailer. Check this out. Here's the first...

Stars: Maika Monroe, Ed Skrein, Gary Oldman, Fiston Barek, Ivana Zivkovic, Sharon D. Clarke, Ian Virgo, Paul Leonard Murray, Dragoljub Ljubicic, Irene Chiengue Chiendjo | Written by Noga Landau | Directed by Federico D’Alessandro
Federico D’Alessandro’s Tau is unequivocally horrific. It is utter torture to have to sit through and antagonising to even comprehend any positives within the ninety-six minute running time and even within its relatively short length, bizarrely still manages to stretch the tiresome concept of what’s a relatively bold premise of the exploration of self-aware A.I. done masterfully by Kubrick and Garland before it.
Speaking of concept, we have Julia played by Maika Monroe, trapped and tortured for scientific study by the mysterious Alex, and somewhere in the mix is A.I./slave/homemaker/therapist Tau, voiced by Gary Oldman. The character development is obsolete with what seems to be a completely unrelated opening...
