If you’re on a cinematic high after watching Cocaine Bear, you’re not alone. The outlandish adventure film about a bear on a blow-fueled, blood-soaked rampage roared into theaters on Feb. 24 with a better-than-expected $23.1 million.
Directed by Elizabeth Banks, Cocaine Bear was inspired by the true tale of a 175-pound black bear found in the forests of Georgia in 1985 surrounded by 40 open containers of smuggled coke. But that’s as far as the facts go when it comes to the fictional R-rated film, which stars a 500-pound CGI black bear alongside human actors Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery, Alden Ehrenreich, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and the late Ray Liotta (in one of his last roles).

The Asylum’s latest film, 4 Horsemen: Apocalypse dispenses with the usual buildup and gets right to the point. The world is in the midst of unprecedented storms, volcanic activity and locust swarms. They’re so bad the world will be destroyed in 12 hours if something isn’t done to stop it. And all General Norriss knows is that the epicentre is somewhere in Brazil. Luckily for her Sgt. Irv Shockley (Bridger Buckley) and Major Oakley Jones are already in the area so they can become the security detail for the team of experts she’s sending to deal with it.
Vulcanologist Dr. Lynise Hughes, meteorologist Dakota Lenna and microbiologist Elliot Rodney are all experts in their fields. But is that enough to...

A Stalker in the House starts remarkably abruptly, with an argument between a couple that – due to how it’s shot, performed and presented – feels like we’re watching a cheesy soap opera; as if the camera will pull out any second to reveal that we’re watching what one of this films characters is watching. But no. It’s just that A Stalker in the House is filmed with a kind of ridiculously glossy sheen that makes it look like a TV soap, continuing throughout the film. Making the finished product feel more some cheap Hallmark TV movie than and indie horror thriller… A Stalker in the House even has the glorious over the top soundtrack these types of Hallmark “thrillers’ have too!
The film follows Mike, who is an absolute psychopath.

With Dwayne Johnson’s big-budget Jungle Cruise due out from Disney soon, The Asylum was sure to be ready with their own cash in. And sure enough, here comes Jungle Run starring Richard Grieco and a bunch of people you’ve probably never heard of before fighting creatures rendered with questionable CGI.
Lebecq captain’s a charter boat in Brazil. Like all jungle boat captains, he drinks heavily and leaves everything to his crew Sark (Benjamin Bernard; Messiah) and Teese (Christian DeJesus). Despite offering private charters he’s managed to charter his boat out to both Amanda and Vera (Jamie Petitto; Geek USA).
Amanda and her brother Scott (Jack Pearson; Shark Season) are searching for their missing father Nathan. Vera runs the company that sent him into the jungle.

[Note: With the film out now on DVD in the UK, here’s a reposting of our review of Asteroid-a-Geddon from its US streaming debut last year]
A global scientific summit debates and fails on a plan to stop a massive asteroid heading straight for Earth, with all countries blaming each other for the impeding disaster. With communications tense, the daughter of a tech billionaire assembles her own team of specialists to try to destroy the asteroid before it is too late.
The Asylum are back with yet another disaster movie, Asteroid-a-Geddon, only this one has a surprisingly on-point political undertone to it’s over-the-top end of the earth plot! You see we get military leaders who’d rather play politics than actually do anything about the oncoming disaster. They argue with...
