Asher has a lot to deal with as Escape Pod opens. The last thing he remembers is getting ready to take a placement test for a position on Starline’s Magellan space mission. Now he’s regained consciousness to find himself in an escape pod with Maia who tells him he’s been working on the Magellan 3 for the past five years.
Now he’s dealing with both memory loss and the realization that he’s floating in space somewhere near Alpha Centauri waiting for NASA to come and rescue him. While he waits, he’s stuck listening to Maia bitching at him because he was an upgrade Technician, a maintenance man in plainer language, he doesn’t remember any of his training. Considering how many things seem wrong with the pod, it would be...

[Note: With the film finally getting a UK release, here’s a reposting of my review of Painted in Blood from its US VOD debut]
Director Aaron Mirtes has been slowly plying his trade in the horror genre, making five feature films between 2017 and 2020 one of which, 2019’s American Hunt, was one of the best genre films released that year. Now Mirtes is back with his latest, Painted in Blood and, I’ll be frank, the press materials put me on the wrong foot from the get-go. You see Mirtes has plied his trade on numerous films, most of which you’d consider decent genre fare. From the highs of the aforementioned American Hunt and sci-fi thriller The Alpha Test to more derivative fare like Clowntergeist and Curse of the Nun, Mirtes has crafted a solid resume.
But now he apparently wants to turn his back on more exploitative fare...

"Nobody been on this damn ranch since granddaddy died." "Nobody but us." 4Digital Media has released a new official trailer for a '70s throwback indie feature titled Death Ranch, from filmmaker Charlie Steeds. This looks like some Blaxploitation madness that should be a part of Grindhouse more than a real film. Deiondre Teagle & Faith Monique & Travis Cutner star as three African American siblings on the run from police that take refuge at a Tennessee Ranch, unaware it's on the hunting grounds of a Ku Klux Klan cult. Trapped and tortured, they fight to escape and take down the bloodthirsty Klan to get revenge on them. The cast includes Scot Scurlock & Brad Belemjian. I wish this looked better than it does in this trailer. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Charlie Steeds' Death Ranch, direct from YouTube: 1970s USA. Three African American siblings, Brandon, Angela, Clarence, on the run from the police,...

Written and directed (and more) by Aaron Mirtes, the man behind last years brilliant American Hunt, The Alpha Test is a thrilling science fiction flick that tells the story of a family who inflict abuse upon their home assistant, an AI who turns out to be way more intelligent than they expected.
It’s one of those fucked up scenarios that works so well as the premise for a horror sci-if movie. A home assistant, something purchased to make life more simple, just happens to have the ability to think and learn. We live in a world where things are no longer merely saved to a disc or drive, but to that invisible technological cloud, and so these things that this assistant learns are stored to the...

A few months back there was some controversy in the horror community when, succumbing to political pressure, Blumhouse cancelled the release of their production The Hunt – which was, essentially, yet another hunting humans film a lal The Most Dangerous Game. Yet whilst Blumhouse cancelled their release, High Octane Pictures went ahead and released American Hunt, a film that features the same hunting humans motif but has less political inclinations.
Of course that’s not to say this film doesn’t have anything to say on the state of society, in fact it says a lot about the divide be the haves and have-nots, the rich and the poor, it’s just that American Hunt can be swept under the carpet by mainstream horror outlets as another low budget direct to market title or,...
