Director/writer: Patrick McBrearty. Cast: Winny Clarke, Liv Collins and Alys Crocker. The Door is an indie horror feature shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. The film, from director Patrick McBrearty (Psycho Ward), brings a supernatural element to the screen as several friends struggle to stay alive. The Door is a very slowly paced film, due to the film's lack of conflict. A phantom stalks an old meat processing plant, but it never directly interacts with the characters; it is more satisfied stalking this group, rather than terrorizing them. As well, some of the actors look too stiff. And, The Door is a an underwhelming film outing. The story begins with Owen (Sam Kantor). He is recently unemployed and searching for work. The solution to his problems comes from a man on the street. This man offers Owen $500 a night to, simply, watch a door. Owen takes him up on the...

Trish Stratus puts her trademark moves on justice-fleeing fugitives in Bounty Hunters.

Let me start by saying that if I had to be tracked down and nabbed by some fortune-seeking mercenary, I wouldn’t mind if my pursuer was seven-time WWE Women’s Champion Trish Stratus as seen in her action movie debut Bounty Hunters.

Originally entitled Bail Enforcers, the 2011 film finds a group of down-on-their-luck bounty hunters, led by Jules Taylor (Stratus), hitting the jackpot one night when they pick up an informant with $100,000 on his head. But their world is quickly turned upside down when a gangland boss (Joe Rafla) offers them a million dollars in exchange for their bounty. When Jules and her partners refuse, the mob unleashes a trio of assassins to bring the bounty hunters down, and to get their man – dead or alive.

Needless to say,...

"From Dawn to Dusk...Help is Not Coming"

From director Philip Carrer (Desperate Souls) and writer Ryan Barrett (Psycho Ward) comes the harrowing horror thriller "If A Tree Falls". If A Tree Falls has been winning rave reviews from various horror film websites. Looking at the trailer, it looks at though the film is intense, suspenseful and creates a tangible connection to the fear that the characters are experiencing.

In "If A Tree Falls", siblings, Brad and Lisa Carpenter, along with two lifelong family friends, Will and Vanessa, set out to cross Eastern Canada en route to an annual family reunion.

Fantasia Neverlost PosterFantasia is hosting an assortment of horror cinema goodies and many of them are Canadian born and bred features e.g. The Shrine, The Necronomicon and director Chad Archibald's Neverlost. Neverlost's first screening on July 20th has already been sold out, but a second showing on the 22nd is still available for fans of psychological terror.

The trailer inside is visually stunning and the clip shows why Neverlost will likely sell out a second showing. Check out the first trailer for Neverlost inside.

The synopsis for Neverlost, courtesy of Twitch Films, here:

"Neverlost follows the psychic meltdown of sleep-deprived, depressive, thirty-something failed scriptwriter Josh Higgins, spiraling into matrimonial hell with his embittered wife of two years, Megan. The young couple struggle to co-exist in...
