A daughter trapped in a gruesome cult seeks revenge on her townspeople in this lurid Canadian thriller
Canadian writer-director Thomas Robert Lee’s follow up to his little-known debut Empyrean, Blood Harvest simmers with unease and lingers in the mind – but bites off more than it can chew, leaving a little too much undigested narrative. That said, there’s quite a bit of lusty scenery-chomping on offer from the cast, giving this a charming luridness that could generate a small cult following.

Folklore horror is an interesting sub-genre for fans. With the release of The Witch the bar was set high for “witchcraft” films that came after it to hit. This is often unfair as many don’t really deserve to be compared to the film. This is somewhat the case of Blood Harvest.
A devout community find themselves plagued by bad luck, dying animals and dying animals they feel cursed. Is the person to blame Audrey Earnshaw (Catherine Walker) the daughter of an outcast of the village?
The reason I say that it is unfair to compare Blood Harvest with The Witch is that they are two separate beasts. Where The Witch focuses on the destruction of a family by forces that...

October is here, which means it’s the time of the season for getting scared. With Halloween gradually becoming a month-long celebration over the past few years — even if the coronavirus has put a damper on many activities such as trick-or-treating — one thing we can always look forward to during these 31 days is a deluge of horror movies old and new, whether via streaming, cable network marathons or even fleeting theatrical releases.
Horror is already a reliable genre both at the box office (under normal circumstances) and in the digital space, so it’s no surprise that even in these compromised times, scary movies are coming at us hard and fast in October. Below is a round-up of fresh horror releases arriving either at your local multiplex (and we urge you to keep the risks of going to the theater in mind) or right in your living room. Ironically, even in decidedly unnerving times,...

Irish immigrants learn it’s unwise to persecute witches in The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw, a handsome-looking sophomore effort from writer-director Thomas Robert Lee. Aspiring to the artful folk-horror of Robert Eggers’ The Witch with a nod to M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village, it sets its doomed 19th century-style hamlet in the shadow of 1970s America for reasons that are hard to guess. That odd choice has little impact on the movie, though, which hits some notes well but never really generates an overall sense of dread.

The Curse Of Audrey Earnshaw currently sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes coming out of the 2020 Fantasia Fest to raving reviews. Check out the trailer:
Set against the autumnal palette of harvest season in 1973, The Curse Of Audrey Earnshaw explores the disturbed bond between Audrey, an enigmatic young woman, and Agatha, her domineering ‘mother’, who live secretly as occultists on the outskirts of a remote Protestant village. As the community is besieged by a pestilence of unknown origin: children, fields, and livestock begin to die — yet the Earnshaw farm remains strangely unaffected. As mass hysteria sets in the village, the townsfolk commence accusations against Audrey and Agatha of witchcraft.
Capturing a perfect mixture of religious paranoia and folklore horror, Thomas Robert Lee’s The Curse Of Audrey Earnshaw is a haunting and unflinching tale of vengeance.

How much difference is there, in the end, between members of different religions faced with the same type of existential crisis? That's one of the questions addressed in Thomas Robert Lee's haunting portrait of community discord. Set in an obscure Christian sect which has held onto the old ways well into the 20th Century (whose influence we barely glimpse), it focuses on an outsider, Agatha Earnshaw (Catherine Walker), who is secretly involved with a heathen cult - and on her daughter, the titular Audrey, born during an eclipse.
The bulk of the action takes place in 1973, when Audrey is in her late teens, almost ready to be accepted into full womanhood by her mother's friends. She's been kept away from the other villagers by her worried mother, and when she witnesses her mother being threatened by one of them - a conflict that adults will recognise as complex, with both.

For The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw, writer/director Thomas Robert Lee transports viewers to a small community in 1973 that is on the brink of annihilation. Pestilence has ravaged the land, the mortality rates for children in the area are horrifically high and the only person who is seemingly untouched by these unfortunate occurrences is Agatha Earnshaw (Catherine Walker), who lives in exile outside the tight-knit religious colony. She is the only resident who seems to be thriving, and always has plenty to eat, but she doesn’t share her bounty with the other villagers as they have long suspected that Agatha has pledged her allegiance to dark forces, and so she feels no remorse about letting those who wish her ill suffer in turn.
But it’s Agatha’s secret that is the biggest reason she has no desire to co-mingle with the other residents: she has a daughter named...

Thomas Robert Lee's debut feature film Empyrean will have its world premiere at the Calgary International Film Festival on October 4th. The Calgary local has passed along the first poster from his first film. It is a simple design, taking a striking image from his film and not losing its effectiveness by clogging up the surroundings with busy text. Simple and effective. On the eve of his 30th birthday, William Fischer is forced to reevaluate himself following a near-death experience. His attempts at returning to life as he knew it are obstructed by a psychic awakening beyond comprehension. Reality crumbles as he journeys further into the depths of his consciousness, nearing a truth which suggests meaning. His growing disconnect from those around him is accentuated by...

Thomas Robert Lee's debut feature film Empyrean has booked its first festival date at the Calgary International Film Festival and to celebrate we have the first trailer to share with you. The premiere screening will be a homecoming for the Calgary based filmmaker and we are very much looking forward to hearing about it afterwards. Filmed in black and white, this domestic drama appears to come with a sci-fi slant. There could also be a spiritual tinge to Lee's film as well as Empyrean, by its definition as a noun, is the highest part of Heaven, where God and the angels live, and as an adjective, belonging to or deriving from Heaven. Very curious of course. On the eve of his 30th birthday, William Fischer is forced...
