You have to credit anyone who can get the production of a film off the ground. It’s hard work, I know that – the amount of films we report on, or have knowledge about (thanks to eager directors getting in touch) that never get past the announcement stage is astonishing. So to actually put a film together, to organise a shoot, and to get it out there in front of an audience is commendable.

Only sometimes people need to be told when they should stop. It’s one thing to make a movie but it’s another to actually make a watchable movie. Unfortunately Rogue Cell – notwithstanding its Amazing concept – is not a watchable movie,...

When we first heard about Echo Lake last December, it was slated to be a web series, but things have changed as co-writer (with Kelsey Zukowski) and director Jonathan Moody now tells us it's turned into a feature. They're in the midst of fundraising to finish shooting this winter, and to help move things along in that regard, they've released a new trailer.

The film from Sick Flick Productions stars Chason Hunter, Brittany Colley, Andre Bland, Eli Harris, Kelsey Zukowski, Jonathan Moody, Sam Qualiana, Brandon McPherson, Robert Shepherd, and Frances Mitchell; and once Phase II kicks into gear, they'll be joined by a few more recognizable names: Jackey Hall (Cyborg Conquest, 869), Shawn C. Phillips (Haunted High, Chillerama), Sierra Holmes (Piranha 3Dd, VH1’s "Scream Queens"), and Melantha Blackthorne (Sineaters, The Witching Hour).

Synopsis:

"In this town... nobody's safe."

Ten years ago the small town of Echo Lake suffered horrific murders...

Filmmaker Jonathan Moody, who is in the works on horror webseries "Scream Queen Campfire" and the horror anthology Trick or Eat, has created another new webseries being planned to debut April 12th, 2011, called "Echo Lake". It's a horror mystery thriller about a small town beset by a relentless serial killer. Anyone can be a suspect, and anyone can also be a victim.

From the Press Release:

The idea of the series is to do a murder mystery where each week fans watch 15 minutes and see people die in every episode. Who the killer is will always be questioned. And you won't find out who it is until the sixth and final episode. The way it's being made is to turn "Echo Lake" into a 90-minute feature film in the end.

Written by Jonathan Moody and Kelsey Zukowski and directed by Jonathan Moody, the webseries will star Chason Hunter, Brittany Colley,...
