"We'll help ya - for half the bounty." "Just my luck..." Lionsgate has just debuted an official trailer for Two Sinners and a Mule, an action western they're dropping on VOD and in theaters later in April. I doubt anyone is going to go see this. Two ladies of pleasure, kicked out of town, run across a Bounty Hunter shot to hell. After he is nursed back to health, the ladies decide he needs their help to track down Gila Grimes - a ruthless, murdering bandit, for half of the bounty. It's made by a stunt coordinator making his first feature, which should tell you why this doesn't look that good at all. Two Sinners and a Mule stars Cam Gigandet, Chantelle Albers, Hannah James, and Buck Taylor. How do these movies keep getting made, I don't know. This looks so awful, and I can imagine the performances are even...

Axeman at Cutters Creek is a pretty great name for a horror movie so I’m not sure why this has been changed to Axeman: Redux. Although I know it will probably be a low budget affair, it still manages to conjure up images of classic eighties slashers with great death scenes and great gore. All this from the title alone, at least for me.

And the opening scene keeps in with that spirit. Very much feeling like a tribute to those eighties horror movies. Unfortunately it never manages to get to the heights of any classics, in fact it shares more in common with the eighties horror that is not so fondly remembered.

Evil Town… Evils of the Night… Reawakened. Three films seemingly with nothing in common, separated by decades. However they have one key thread, Remy MacKenzie.

A casting director on both Evil Town (1977) and Evils of the Night (1985), MacKenzie co-scripted And produced this film alongside Jose Altonaga – who worked with MacKenzie back in 1989 on Hot Times at Montclair High; directing that teen sex comedy, whilst McKenzie would once again take on the casting role. Since then the pair have made a short together, Five Days in June, back in 2009; and now comes this, a film that feels very reminiscent of 80s shot on video horror And features a trademark of...

How many friends is too many friends? The answer, perhaps unsurprisingly is 6…

5 years after a private graduation party went awry (mostly for a man in a horror mask) our group of female friends head off to a cabin in the woods for a reunion. What could possibly go wrong? Our set up is simple. The 6th Friend trailer talks about “doom” and “secrets”… I tell you what a great, an all-female horror film involving All those things. The Descent. I wish I was watching The Descent.

It says something about my upbringing that when one of the ladies is rude to the male stripper / drug dealer I bristled slightly at how inconsiderate “Heather” was of the man’s feelings. A small businessman no less. What...

With a cast that includes iconic scream queens Tiffany Shepis and Brinke Stevens, as well as up-and-coming scream queens Elissa Dowling, Arielle Brachfeld and Jamie Bernadette, how could I not review Axeman (aka Axeman at Cutters Creek)?

It seems, at least in the horror genre, that the 80s, and especially 80s slasher movies, are back. And as a fan of slasher movies I couldn’t be happier. Of course, like back in its heyday, the modern slasher has its good and its bad. In the grand scheme of slasher movies, Axeman sits somewhere in the middle – with enough decent kills to rise above the flotsam but with not enough of a meaty story to really count itself amongst the greats.

Executive producer Lyle Albers and director Letia Clouston released the names today of the main cast who will play the six friends in slasher film "The 6th Friend": Dominique Swain ("Alpha Dog", "Lolita"), Jessica Morris ("Reel Evil", "One Life To Live"), Jamie Bernadette ("The Bunnyman Massacre", "Milf"), Chantelle Albers ("Axeman At Cutter's Creek", "Moo Moo And The Three Witches"), Sadie Katz ("Chavez Cage Of Glory", "House Of Bad"), and Theresa June-Tao ("Battle Of Los Angeles", "Mile Marker Seven"). Mr. Albers of Sommer Leigh Studios states, I am thrilled to have such an amazing, talented group of young actresses to bring this story to life. Each one of them is so unique in their own way and as an ensemble, I think they will do very well together. When I first read the script,...

A second still from writer/director Joston Theney's Axeman at Cutter's Creek has come in, and this one features Theney in front of the camera in the role of "Darren," who is finally ready to make his move. But is it as a hero or a villain?

Christopher Otiko, the film's executive producer, says of the scene, "[It's] where two characters make their motivations known. The film's sense of whodunit, or rather who's-doing-it, will have you guessing who the good guys and bad guys really are."
