The cat was let out of the bag last week by J.J. Abrams, when he spilled that the script for “Star Trek 4” was finished, and even more curiously, would feature Chris Hemsworth‘s Dad Kirk alongside Chris Pine‘s Captain Kirk. Of course, Kirk’s Dad dying was part of the reason he signed up for Starfleet anyway […]

At the halfway point of its first season, the Scream TV series needs to pick up the pace and get slashin'...
This review contains spoilers.
1.5 Exposed
Before I get into this week’s plot--in which plenty is indeed exposed--i’m happy to say I just heard that there is going to be a season two for Scream. I don’t know what this means for the current slasher plot, as now it doesn’t necessarily have to be resolved by the end of the season--and we don’t know yet how many teens we’ll have left by then.
Of course, we’ve gone for two weeks now with nary a splatter, so I Hope there won’t be too many teens left, anyway. This week, we learn some more sinister secrets, the revelation of which will hopefully have significant bearing on the current action, or at least come to...

There's no question that lately there's been a resurgence in horror anthology films, due in no small part to the success of the V/H/S franchise, and now one indie filmmaker is taking a look at the subgenre with the doc We Come in Pieces: The Rebirth of the Horror Anthology Film.
From the Press Release
We Come In Pieces is a documentary short that chronicles and celebrates the past, present, and future of horror anthology films.
When filmmaker Ryan Spindell (Kirksdale, The Root of the Problem) set out to make his horror anthology film The Mortuary Collection, producers rejected it outright. Time and time again, he was told that horror anthologies are dead at the studio level, but the question no one seemed to be able to answer was why?
To find out, Spindell teamed up with documentary filmmaker Ben Hethcoat (Dead Dad, D.I.Y), and together...

Title: Dead Dad Director: Ken J. Adachi Starring: Kyle Arrington, Jenni Melear, Lucas K.

Adachi’s debut film, “Dead Dad,” exhibits a mature grasp beyond its years of the manner in which swallowed adolescent resentments pervert adult relationships.
