Owen Egerton’s feature-length directorial debut Follow had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX this weekend to a lukewarm reception, and it disappoints me to say that I share that sentiment as Follow was one of the films I was most looking forward to at the festival. Quinn (Noah Segan, Deadgirl, Starry Eyes) and Thana (Olivia Grace Applegate) […]...

One thing I love, that is apparent from this wave announcement, is that Fantastic Fest not only celebrates new genre cinema but relishes in repertory genre cinema! We have some awesome martial arts films and a 35mm screening of Evilspeak to coincide with Kier-La Jannise & Paul Corupe’s Satanic Panic: Pop-Cultural Paranoia in the 1980’s. We are also getting the new horror anthology from V/H/S alumni (Producer Roxanne Benjamin, director David Bruckner and directing team Radio Silence) with Southbound! Read on fiends, read on.

Renaissance man Owen Egerton is on fire.
... metaphorically speaking, of course. But the redhead's career has been making sparks in national literary, film and comedy circles recently.
Next month, the Texas State University Mfa alum will lead readers through a bizarre apocolypse, filled with Jesus clones, a prophetic hermit crab and a slacker couple who are haunted by ghosts as they wait out their final days on Earth in his latest novel, Everyone Says That at the End of the World.
The Austin-based master multi-tasker also debuted his short film Follow, about one man's dangerous challenge to open a gift by his wife (starring local actor Jonny Mars), this week in the SXSW Film Midnight Shorts collection. Egerton based the film on a short story from his 2007 collection How Best to Avoid Dying.
Egerton and producer Seth Caplan are currently raising production funds for a feature-length version of Follow. I...

Who’S It For?: People who aren’t named Mary Kay Letourneau and like their indie dramas dark, moody and a bit risque.
Overall
Student/teacher romantic relationships are tough cinematic ships to navigate especially when involving underage teens. We all know how this will end and it won’t be good for either party. Writer-director Hannah Fidell attempts to explore some risky territory with A Teacher but ends up simply teasing us with a promising yet unfulfilled experience.
