  Written & Directed By: Kevin Smith Starring:  Brian O’Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Trevor Fehrman, Austin Zajur, Jason Mewes, Rosario Dawson, Kevin Smith Following a massive heart attack, Randal enlists his friends and fellow clerks Dante, Elias, Jay, and Silent Bob to make a movie immortalizing his life at the convenience store that started it all. Fingers crossed, this looks like it could be a return to form for writer/director Kevin Smith. Possibly more than any other filmmaker, I'm always pulling for Kevin's films to work. Even when his films don't fully connect with me, I can't detect an once of cynicism on screen. It seems like he really digs the stuff he makes and at the end of the day, good for him, the Kevin Smith filmography is the ultimate underdog story.

Queer for Fear is a four-part documentary series about the history of the LGBTQ+ community in the horror and thriller genres. From its literary origins with queer authors Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde to the pansy craze of the 1920s that influenced Universal Monsters and Hitchcock, through the “lavender scare” alien invasion films of the mid-20th century and the AIDS obsessed bloodletting of 80s vampire films, Queer for Fear re-examines genre stories through a queer lens, seeing them not as violent, murderous narratives, but as tales of survival that resonate thematically with queer audiences everywhere.
