After a brief hiatus due to our live coverage of Comic-Con, we’re back with a double-sized edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting the recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes a new trailer for Come Back to Me and I Spill Your Guts 2, release details on Schism, Silent Retreat, and the Class of Nuke ‘Em High soundtrack, and much more:

Come Back to Me Trailer: “Sarah (Walder) and Josh McLaren (Passmore) are a young married couple living in suburban Las Vegas. Shortly after a car accident, Sarah begins to suffer a series of disturbing memory lapses and frequent blackouts that seem to be increasing in intensity. Unsure of what is happening, and feeling as though she is losing her mind, Sarah comes to learn she is pregnant. To add to her shock, she subsequently discovers that her husband is sterile. As her marriage and world begin to fall apart,...

Come Back to Me is one strange, disjointed, and moderately compelling little movie. It isn’t entirely successful, and at times it veers uncomfortably close to being unintentionally hilarious, but it sticks the landing and should interest viewers with a soft spot for deliberately paced, hard-to-categorize oddities. It opens with an adolescent male overhearing an extremely violent domestic abuse incident in his home. His mother is attacked and, it seems, murdered. Flash forward to present day Las Vegas. A young couple, Josh (Matt Passmore) and Sarah (Katie Walder) introduce themselves to their new neighbor, Dale (Nathan Keyes). Dale is the boy from the beginning, all grown up, and immediately he is staring creepily at Sarah. Something is not right with him.

Sarah (Katie Walder) and her husband Josh (Matt Passmore) are at a bit of a crossroads in their marriage. She wants a child, but he’s barely even interested in the sex required to make one. It’s not that he’s stopped loving her or her body — it’s that his job as a dealer at a casino isn’t exactly keeping them flush while she works on her thesis about online pornography. Into this family drama comes a new neighbor named Dale (Nathan Keyes). Young and a bit odd, he immediately takes a liking to Sarah, and the couple’s troubles magnify overnight. She begins experiencing odd night terrors that leave her shaken, confused and lacking any memory of what happened while she was asleep. It’s probably for the best as what’s happening is a series of strange assaults, one of which involves finding Josh bound and dead with a plastic bag over...

Psycho has a lot to answer for: Half a century later, lazy filmmakers are still using "mommy issues" as the paper-thin motivation for killers of all stripes.

That's one problem with Paul Leyden's stab at psychological horror, Come Back to Me, a film in which every character states her motivation out loud, and even so-called "shocking" revelations are underlined with a hand-holding voice-over.

Sarah (Katie Walder) is a young wife who begins having unsettling visions of her own death. Again and again, she wakes up terrified, thinking it was a dream, but occasionally comes across disturbing evidence that says otherwise. Is her new neighbor, maladjusted mama's boy Dale (Nathan Keyes), stalking her? And if so, why doesn't she remember it?

It only took 11 episodes, but "To Protect and Serve Man" finally began making a hand out of some of this season’s story cards.

But before getting to Monroe, Juliette and Renard, let’s begin with the case.

As much as I tend to complain when Grimm decides to veer back to its procedural roots, tonight’s episode didn’t bother me in the slightest. It could be due to some of the serial arcs this season because they are slow burning, but then that would take away from the genuinely compelling case.

The reason the case was so captivating was because of the ambiguity surrounding Ferren. Even with the context of the Wesen world seven years later, and Hank wanting to do his best to make sure that he leaves no stones unturned before a man is set to death, it’s still difficult to piece together if Ferren...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

This weeks episode of The Mentalist, ‘Not One Red Cent’, served as a well crafted and very enjoyable stand-alone after last weeks very different, very emotional ‘Devil’s Cherry’. Due to unforeseen circumstances I was not able to review that episode. Needless to say, it was a 5 star 40+ minutes of television.

The opening and set up for the case-of-the-week involved Jane (Simon Baker) visiting a store to get his shoes repaired. For those of you who may not have noticed, Jane’s shoes are really, Really old. I loved his awkward relationship with the old cobbler, who feels faint and has to be laid to the ground in Jane’s arms after the bank robbers across the street fire bullets in their direction. This also means Jane’s shoes are unavailable to him for the entire episode, allowing him to wear a pair of ‘loaners’, in...

One of the Sisters of Fate has made her cameo in Supernatural's latest episode, "My Heart Will Go On," and fairly soon, the Winchester brothers may meet the other two. Only time will tell since there are only five more episodes before season six wraps up.

With this episode, the duo tries to literally challenge destiny, but learn that, as evident in "Appointment in Samarra," that it's not a good idea to mess with what the Fates have ordained. With Atropos (Katie Walder) leading the charge, this Greek beauty literally decides how everyone dies. She is out to redo what has been undone in the time-space continuum. There really can only be one of them and the angel Balthazar (Sebastian Roché) seems to have this affinity for alternate realities. They can exist and unlike “The French Mistake,...

Supernatural has just six episodes left in season six, which means a lot of loose ends need to be tied up in a very short period of time. Now we have photos of two of the next episodes and after a lag in the major plot points “And Then There Were None” gave us a turn for the better, introducing Eve, a creepy, mother of all monsters baddie.

In the next episode, “My Heart Will Go On” which returns the show from hiatus on April 15, Balthazar (guest star Sebastian Roche) changes history and keeps the Titanic from sinking, Fate (guest star Katie Walder) intervenes and begins killing those that would have died on the ship.

Die-hard "Supernatural" fans, who closely follow news from the set, may have noticed that the airing order of upcoming episodes has changed. The next new episode, airing April 15, is now "My Heart Will Go On."

The cleverly titled episode explores a world in which the Titanic never sank. In an interesting twist that may or may not be coincidental, the episode airs on the 99th anniversary of the Titanic tragedy. The ship struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. the night of April 14, 1912, and sank about three hours later, at 2:20 a.m. on April 15.

"Balthazar didn't like the movie," executive producer Sera Gamble told us at PaleyFest's event honoring "Supernatural. "So he decided to go back in time, and he un-sunk the ship. We have all these explanations as to how that could have happened. There were a lot of mental knots that we had to untangle to figure...

A lot of us dread April 15th, aka Tax Day, but this year things are a bit different as that's also when "Supernatural" returns from hiatus. On tap for the night is "My Heart Will Go On", in which Sam and Dean wake up in a world in which the Titanic never sank, setting the stage for the return of both Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith) and Ellen Harvelle (Samantha Ferris).

By Terry Keefe

This past March 6th, I had the good fortune to attend the "Bohemian Dream"-themed party at Bardot Hollywood, which benefited the Young Storytellers Foundation, one of the cooler arts-based charities that I've ever heard of and certainly one I would have loved to come to my school as a child.

The Young Storytellers Foundation (http://www.youngstorytellers.com/) brings an incredible program to certain arts-poor Los Angeles area public schools: the nonprofit group invites entertainment industry professionals to the participating schools, who provide the students with a variety of tutoring in the art of storytelling. A significant portion of the program involves students writing their own screenplays and then having them performed by professional actors, including some genuine stars, a few of who acted as hosts...
