Chicago – To stand out in the crowded “Christmas Romance” TV movie genre, it starts with a strong script (by Rebecca Weaver) and the right lead actor. “Christmas with Felicity,” now available on the AMC+ app, features Sarah Brooks (“Chicago Med”) as the title character, a burnt-out city dweller looking to find solace back in her small Wisconsin home town.

The film has familiar tropes in the genre. Felicity (Brooks) is a “city mouse’ gal from Chicago whose fiancé left her, and at the same time she has lost her bakery business. On to snowy Wisconsin she goes, to escape the situation and rest at her parent’s home. Unfortunately for her, it’s the holiday season, and she’s not in the mood. Enter James (Herb Porter), a holiday-loving optimist who also happens to be a Christmas tree and dairy farmer. Will the sparks fly?

Chicago – The challenge of creating a “Christmas Romance” TV movie, in a field that is saturated with contenders, would perplex even Orson Welles. But Chicago-based director Jack C. Newell was up to the task, as he took a script from Rebecca Weaver and put his spin on the holiday rom-com “Christmas with Felicity,” now available on the AMC+ app.

The film has familiar tropes in the genre. Felicity (Sarah Brooks of “Chicago Med”) is a “city mouse’ gal from Chicago whose fiancé has left her and her bakery business has failed. On to snowy Wisconsin she goes, to escape the situation and rest at her parent’s home. Unfortunately for her, it’s the holiday season, and she’s not in the mood. Enter James (Herb Porter), a Christmas loving optimist who also happens also to be a Christmas tree/dairy farmer. Will the sparks fly?

Travis Stevens, producer of films such as A Horrible Way to Die, The Aggression Scale, Starry Eyes and We Are Still Here (all fanatasic genre films may I add), turns his hand to directing with a haunted house film that, ultimately, feels like a lesser entry in the Amityville franchise.

In a surprising move, former wrestler-turned-mma fighter Phil Brooks takes the lead as a man tipped over the edge while renovating his new family home. However bursting pipes, rotting walls and unidentifiable slime were not what Don Koch (Brooks) expected when he convinced his pregnant wife he could renovate their new Victorian home himself. In over his head, under duress, and tempted by his old weaknesses – especially from a mysteriously seductive neighbour – Don soon...

Ever heard of “clergy-penitent privilege?” You probably haven’t, but the Center for Investigative Reporting’s Trey Bundy wants to change that, because, he says, it is creating a “public safety” issue by making it possible for child sexual abuse to go un-reported to law enforcement.

Saturday and Sunday at 7 p.m. Et/Pt on Oxygen, you can see his two-part documentary special, “The Witnesses,” for yourself. “The Witnesses” showcases the stories of four women who are former Jehovah’s Witnesses. They detail accusations of sexual abuse they say they endured during their time within the organization while Bundy provides insight from his five years looking into the accusations against the church and its leaders.

“What I hope happens is viewers get a ton of information they didn’t have before on what we consider to be a public safety issue,” Bundy told TheWrap Thursday by phone.

"Bursting pipes, rotting walls, and unidentifiable slime were not what Don Koch (WWE legend Phil "Cm Punk" Brooks) expected when he convinced his wife, Liz (Trieste Kelly Dunn), that he could rehab their new Victorian home himself. In over his head, under duress, and tempted by his old weaknesses, Don soon discovers that the house has its own dark, sordid history and won't be so easy to renovate after all...."

I’ve got a great trailer for a new horror film that you’ve got to check out. The movie is called Girl on the Third Floor, and it looks like it offers a unique take on the haunted house genre.

The film centers on Don Koch (Phil "Cm Punk" Brooks) who attempts “to renovate a rundown mansion with a sordid history for his growing family, only to learn that the house has other plans.” As you’ll see in the trailer, Don’s experience takes some twisted turns and things start to descend into a hellish madness.

This seriously looks like it’s gonna be a great horror movie! I loved what the trailer had to offer. There are some super creepy and disturbing visuals. Travis Stevens directed the film, and it also stars Trieste Kelly Dunn, Sarah Brooks, Elissa Dowling, Karen Woditsch, Travis Delgado, and Marshall Bean.

Also starring Trieste Kelly Dunn, Sarah Brooks, Elissa Dowling, Karen Woditsch, Travis Delgado, and Marshall Bean.

Last week, prolific indie genre producer Travis Stevens celebrated the premiere of his directorial debut, Girl on the Third Floor, which screened as part of the Midnighters slate of programming at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival (you can read my review Here). While in Austin, Daily Dead sat down with Stevens as well as several of the Girl on the Third Floor cast members, including Phil Brooks (who fans worldwide also know as Cm Punk), Trieste Kelly Dunn, Sarah Brooks, Elissa Dowling, and Travis Delgado, and we chatted about finally having the film out there in the world after its premiere at the fest, the real-life inspirations behind the story of Girl on the Third Floor, and their experiences working together out in Frankfort, Illinois.

Home improvements may be the death of you in “Girl on the Third Floor,” a likable supernatural thriller with Phil Brooks aka former WWE wrestler C.M. Punk as an expectant first-time father whose haunted fixer-upper serves up temptations he thought he’d left behind. This first directorial feature by prolific indie producer Travis Stevens tips its cap to a number of bigger, sometimes better horror opuses, resourcefully if not quite memorably reducing their tropes to a smaller scale (and budget). Yet if the story isn’t ultimately a knockout, the film’s atmospherics and sense of humor are winning nonetheless. “Girl” should do well at genre fests as well as in streaming.

Unemployed and lucky to be un-incarcerated in the wake of a deal with the Feds (we don’t find out the precise nature of his crime until late in the film), Brooks’ Don Koch is trying to bury...

Former WWE superstar (and Ufc fighter) Cm Punk fields a starring role in the horror movie, Girl on the Third Floor.

Cm Punk, a.k.a. Phil Brooks, has been fielding what might be one of the most publicized career transitions in history ever since the caustic-but-popular former WWE Champion abruptly abandoned the pro wrestling scene in early 2014, leaving an enduring trail of (non-scripted) controversy behind him. Besides banking some written work with Marvel Comics, his long-touted try as an Mma fighter in the Ufc led to two emphatic losses. However, a headlining role in a horror movie, called Girl on the Third Floor, might lead Punk toward new success as a movie star.

Brooks is joined in the Girl on the Third Floor cast by Trieste Kelly Dunn, Elissa Dowling and newcomer Sarah Brooks.
