Beneath the Surface, the new film from directors Scott Jeffrey and Rebecca Matthews, the team that gave us The Gardener, Exorcist Vengeance and so many others, begins with scenes of a shark attacking a man and his two daughters. It’s a flashback, one of the many that Lexy has about it.
The film then goes back three months to South Africa and the inquest into the accident that led to her, her father Bill and sister Chloe being in the water and attacked by sharks. Lexy is the only one of the three to survive long enough to be rescued by her boyfriend Isaac (Matthew Marcelis; Camerawoman) and stepmother Vicky.
None of that is a spoiler, because Beneath the Surface isn’t a killer shark movie,...

I’m going to sound like a broken record this week with not one but Four Scott Jeffrey film currently on the slate for review. This, Cannibal Troll, is the second of the week and harkens back to the more basic era of Scott Jeffrey’s filmmaking – insomuch that this film is essentially a basic slasher movie retread with a troll as its antagonist rather than a deranged maniac! There’s also, given the use of the word ‘cannibal’ in the title, a nod to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, with the troll seemingly building a “family” of victims, not killing them – or eating them as the title would suggest – but rather having them around his home, keeping them alive for some (not clearly explained) reason.

UK horror uber-producer Scott Jeffrey is back behind the camera as writer and director of Conjuring the Genie, aka Evil Genie, aka Devil Djinn, the latest film from his Jagged Edge Productions. This time round we’re following a formula the Jeffrey started in last years Cupid and continued in the last Jagged Edge film I reviewed, Rise of the Mummy… A bunch of students get tangled up in the supernatural and pay the price. Cupid saw teenagers summon Cupid and get killed one by one; Rise of the Mummy had a student steal a mummy’s amulet awakening it and unleashing it on the rest of the students at a college,...

We have a relatively quiet week of Blu-ray and DVD releases to kick off the month of May, but two of the titles are fantastic indie horrors that are very much worth your time—For the Sake of Vicious and A Ghost Waits. Other releases for May 4th include Rise of the Mummy, Why, The Midwife and a re-release DVD for Wes Craven’s Cursed.
For the Sake of Vicious
Romina, an overworked nurse and single mother returns home from her late shift on Halloween night to find a maniac hiding out with a bruised and beaten hostage. When an unexpected wave of violent intruders descends upon her home, the trio realize the only way out of the situation is to work together and fight for their survival.

Well surprise, surprise. Who knew that 2019’s The Mummy Reborn would get a sequel? It has and it’s Rise of the Mummy (aka Mummy Resurgence). But hold on, this one’s not from Proportion Productions, rather instead its credited to Jagged Edge Productions… What’s going on? Oh… wait a minute… We’re all good, it turns out Jagged Edge Productions is yet another Scott Jeffrey company… phew!
This time round Jeffrey hands the directorial reigns to Antonia Johnstone, who we last saw in front of the camera as a cop in The Leprechaun’s Game. Who not only directs but apparently also did make-up and costuming on the film, and is credited was...
