V/H/S Segment Gets Feature Treatment in First SiREN Trailer; Arriving This December!
David Bruckner’s “Amateur Night” was one of the real standout parts of 2012’s V/H/S. Doing a great job of setting characters up for a good time and paying off with one hell of a second half, the segment was a lot of fun and quite terrifying at the same time. Now, with DANCE OF THE […]

Tackling the subject of pranks and how one can go horribly wrong, Brothers Colin and Cameron Cairnes’ SCARE CAMPAIGN takes that idea and runs with it quite effectively.

Momentum Pictures Acquires Guy Pearce-led film BRIMSTONE; Release Set for March
Confession: Guy Pearce can, in my opinion, do absolutely no wrong. Even in films that I don’t find to be much fun (i.e.- LOCKOUT), Pearce always gives 200% and let’s be honest, just based on L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, the Aussie actor should have a lifetime pass. News that I’m quite excited about, is the newly announced […]
