Love, madness and a mystery consume a newlywed couple who’ve embarked on their honeymoon at a lakeside cabin in the woods. What begins as a picturesque excursion for Bea (Rose Leslie) and Paul (Harry Treadaway) soon descends into a nightmare when the new bride disappears in the middle of the night. After a tense search, she is discovered in the woods by her groom; nude, bruised and incoherent. He is immediately alarmed and when he questions her over what has happened she rebuffs his curiosity, initially blaming it on an episode of sleepwalking. It’s an explanation that seems adequate until her behavior becomes increasingly erratic and despondent. Her physical condition rapidly deteriorates and the question of what ails her, casts a dark specter over their celebratory trip and the future of their marriage. Bea and Paul have an idyllic relationship: playful, caring and lighthearted. First-time director Leigh Janiak spends most of the film’s opening getting viewers to invest in t

In this episode of Projecting Film, Josh and Teddy discuss M. Night Shyamalan's return to horror in The Visit and the horror of Game of Thrones season 5 finale.

On this episode we look at films set in small towns with big secrets. The 2007 action comedy HOT FUZZ from writer and director Edgar Wright stars Simon Pegg as an annoyingly straight-laced cop exiled by his less professional London colleagues to a small English village with very little crime... that is, crime that the townspeople recognize as crime. Our second film is a mixture of a remake and a sequel to a 1976 horror film, sharing the same name of THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN. In this new 2014 version, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon delivers a funny, scary, and stylistically cool slasher film about a masked serial killer stalking a small town in Texarkana, and the townspeople who dread reopening this decades long wound of prior murders. But first, a smaller film that we have been looking forward to in this summer of disappointing big budget kids movies in WE ARE STILL HERE. The writer and director of that film Ted Geoghegan joined us to talk about his fun new horror film.

So this episode exists because co-host Chris Maynard was wronged into unnecessarily watching The Human Centipede for the podcast. And now we are about to wrong you the listener with a War Machine vs. War Horse special looking at the entire Human Centipede trilogy. To make this undesirable cinematic act more palatable, I have tried to make this as much of a clip show as possible, with a little help from my barking dog during the recording process leading to ample opportunities to spotlight creative work I actually like AND promote another podcast @FromPage2Screen. But first... a look at the third Human Centipede.

For the remake of POLTERGEIST we look at two other cursed properties in cinema that were eventually remade way back in 1999. Along the way we answer the very important question of whether or not Catherine Zeta Jones "owned it" in THE HAUNTING and explain what happens when two people really love each other in the HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL.

On this episode we follow the first 2015 critical sensation IT FOLLOWS with two films that aren’t very much like IT FOLLOWS but have a following theme in WINGS OF DESIRE vs. FOLLOWING and are members of The Criterion Collection. But as you will see in our reviews of these three films, the new horror movie is by far the most deserving of that status. We also shamelessly plug our website Following Films . Oh wait you're already here.

The first horror films I remember are the ones whose names I can barely recall. They were gory, filled with sex and defiantly inappropriate for a 12 year old. I'm not talking about The Shinning or The Exorcist, those were films that I could watch with my parents. The movies I'm talking about were dangerous, I wasn't allowed to watch them. I would go to the video store and find films based solely on the box art. These films rarely lived up to the images used to sell them but it didn't matter, the promise of might be was enough. I took films like; Sleepaway Camp, Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Class of Nuke Em High, and Chopping Mall seriously. I didn't watch them like some douche bag hipster with a detached sense of irony, nope Phantasm was my Citizen Kane. My taste has matured (slightly) but those films will always hold a special place in my heart. I've seen tons of modern films that try to call back to the B-Movie masterpieces of my y

A pair of femme fatales wreak havoc on the life of a happily married man.

Dark Summer is currently available on VOD and playing theatrically in LA click here for showtimes    On this episode of our podcast we stalk with technology, and though our methods of finding our way into your ear buds may be more advanced than Robert De Niro’s quest to get famous on a late night talk show in THE KING OF COMEDY, or Robin Williams’ photo lab obsession with an All-American family in ONE HOUR PHOTO, we hope our listeners agree that we haven’t quite reached our full stalker potential.    But before we give you too much time to consider it, we speak with director Paul Solet, who you may know previously from his acclaimed horror film GRACE, as he took the time to talk about his work and inspire our theme with his new film DARK SUMMER.

  Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Olivia Luccardi, Lili Sepe and Daniel Zovatto  David Robert Mitchell has done something truly remarkable with his follow up to the spectacular teen drama MYTH OF THE AMERICAN SLEEPOVER, he made a completely original, tense as hell thriller/horror film built on performance and atmosphere with an incredibly effective score from Disasterpeace. I'd say they don't make them like this anymore but I'm not sure they ever have made them like this. IT FOLLOWS on some level reminds me of John Crapenter's HALLOWEEN but that's mainly due to the anamorphic widescreen and the brilliant score. This is a film that's certainly aware of the horror films that have come before it but it in no way is pigeon held to them. IT FOLLOWS is f*%$ing relentless. This is in no way a "once it gets going" type film, it comes out of the gate swinging, you barely are given a chance to catch your breath. The scariest moments in this film are in th

DARK SUMMER  combines elements of films that have come before it but presents them in a way that gives us something new and completely original. Yes, this is a genre film but much like Paul Solets first film GRACE this is a shocking story that puts character and performance first.  Daniel Austins (Keir Gilchrist) obsessive online stalking of his classmate and crush, Mona Wilson (Grace Phipps), leads to his house arrest for the whole summer. Daniel is a modern technology obsessed teenager. So now he will spend his summer vacation with; no cell phone, no Internet, no access to the world beyond his property, and perhaps most devastating of all no Mona . As an adult its easy to dismiss teenagers. We often forget the depth of emotion that we felt during this time in our lives. When you feel the loss of love for the first time it feels like it will never end. When you feel isolation or loneliness it feels like you are in solitary confinement. This is mostly because you ar
