Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
After the misfire that was The Amityville Haunting, I was worried that the so-called unofficial sequels in “the franchise” would all be absolute dreck. Obviously we’re grading on a scale when it comes to low budget Dtv films, but there’s still plenty of room for ingenuity and surprises regardless of funding.
Thankfully The Amityville Asylum, a 2013 UK production, represents something of a rebound. Writer/director Andrew Jones had abandoned found footage in favour of a more traditional approach to tell the story of Lisa Templeton (Sophia Del Pizzo), a young woman who interviews for a job as a night cleaner at the relatively new psychiatric institute, High Hopes.
Obviously since this is an Amityville film, there’s a tangential connection...

HeyUGuys attended the world premiere in Los Angeles for Angel Has Fallen. In the third movie of the very successful Fallen franchise, Gerard Butler plays the falsely accused Mike Banning and runs like a fugitive from accusations of attempted murder of the nation’s leader. Mike has become the fallen guardian angel of President Trumbull, played by the iconic Morgan Freeman. The film is directed by Ric Roman Waugh and also stars Jada Pinkett Smith, Danny Huston, Lance Reddick, Piper Perabo, Tim Blake Nelson and Nick Nolte. DaniElle DeLaite spoke to the cast about how this movie allows us to get up close to Mike Banning’s character as a tormented soul as well as an action hero, what it was like to work with Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman, filming those intense action scenes and what audiences can expect from this action packed rollercoaster of a movie!

Epic Pictures Group has debuted an official trailer for the indie action horror film titled Black Site, which is getting a direct-to-vod release next month.

A young woman is forced to push past her worst fears and battle to deport it back to where it came from. Set inside an underground military base known as The Artemis Black Site, the movie mixes an Escape From New York-style survival story with Lovecraftian elements. This stars Henry Douthwaite, Sophia Del Pizzo, Lauren Ashley Carter, Jessica-Jane Stafford, and Bentley Kalu. See the preview below. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Tom Paton's Black Site, direct from Epic's YouTube: An elite military unit encounters a supernatural entity, known as The Elder Gods, that...

Not one but Three kick-ass powerful leading ladies. Break-neck fight choreography straight out of The Raid. A spellbinding and ear tickling 80s retro synth score. A chilling Lector-esque performance that gave this reviewer the Heebie Jeebies. Action, Elder Gods with a Lovecraftian mythology twist. Tom Paton brings all of this in his game changing must see genre defying, sleek, stylised, adventurous ode to John Carpenter for a modern audience.
Finally Black Site has had its sold out premiere at Frightfest down in London (sadly 365 could not make it). However this means that finally I can bring you my review. Now I will say right up front that if you listen to our podcast you...

One of this year’s Frightfest World Premieres, Black Site had people excited with only its description promising John Carpenter-esque action… Which is all I needed to hear to give it a watch. In truth, despite despite this playing at Frighfest, it’s not really a horror movie. The sci-fi elements more than make it worthy of being shown at one of the World’s leading genre festivals though.
The sci-fi here feels very Lovecraftian, involving elder gods that are living on Earth being captured and held at the Artemis Black Site until they are not needed any more and are sent back from where they originally came. It all feels very much...

Not surprisingly Director Andrew Jones has no directing experience except with a pair of poorly rated dramas. Yet there plenty of weak points in this one beyond the directing. Among others is a cast of relative unknowns. Joining him from the UK for 11 days of filming (yes the entire movie only had 11 days of filming) in Long Island is Indy horror actress Eileen Daly (Razor Blade Smile Cradle of Fear) plus a pair of inexperienced younguns Sarah Louise Madison and Sophia Del Pizzo.
