I have watched too many Danny Trejo movies to know that just by having his name on the poster and physical media artwork does not guarantee a good movie. Of course, he’s been in some movies I absolutely love but his name is often used when he features for little more than seconds in a movie and I thought that would probably be the case with The Last Exorcist.
I wasn’t far wrong, to be honest but Danny Trejo’s role here could be called a little bit more than a cameo. In The Last Exorcist, we follow two sisters who have had a difficult upbringing and have neither of their parents still with them.

David Ellender’s Sonar Entertainment will handle international distribution of “Interface,” an e-sports sci-fi series conceived by Australian actress and screenwriter Ellie Popov. Production in Australia and Taiwan is set to begin in the first quarter of 2021.
The story involves a young tech wizard who is kidnapped and thrust into a cyber-punk world, the Circuit Games, which are a breeding ground for mind-controlling military technology.
Popov’s Red Empire Productions developed the show. The company’s Amie Casey will produce alongside Justin Jones and Zeus Zamani’s Los Angeles-based Thriller Films, Adam Horner’s Ignite Pictures (Australia), and Steve Chicorel and Kelly Mi Li’s Taipei-based Organic Media Group. Nick Kozakis is set to direct the majority of the episodes.
The series is a private-sector co-venture that does not use a co-production treaty, but expects to be able to access federal and state rebate schemes in Australia, and government production support schemes in Taiwan.

"Our destinies are intertwined." Uncork'd Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for an indie horror film titled Coven, which is not the most original title for a witch story. Described in the marketing as "The Craft meets Suspiria", the low-budget film is about five undergrad witches that come together in order to perform a ritual to invoke the ancient powers of the witch Ashura. One of them gets carried away, and starts absorbing more and more power. So the others have to take her down. Starring Lizze Gordon, Jennifer Cipolla, Margot Major, Adam Horner, and Terri Ivens. This looks like such a cheesy, bland film with some seriously awful VFX. And it doesn't even look like it might be good-bad or fun to watch, only bad-bad. Here's the official trailer (+ new poster) for Margaret Malandruccolo's Coven, direct from YouTube: Five undergrad witches come together in order to perform...
