The wait is almost over for fans of The Chosen to welcome the next chapter of the Biblical drama into their homes. This Sunday, June 15, the first two episodes of the production’s fifth season are set for an arrival on Prime Video. Some may have already had the pleasure of seeing the entire fifth season play out on the big screen during its cinematic release earlier this year, but for the rest, the next few weeks will mark a pilgrimage where audiences will travel alongside Jonathan Roumie’s Jesus on his way towards his crucifixion. Today, Collider is excited to share a glimpse of an upcoming episode that showcases the tenderness and humor that the religious leader has for his followers.

In the sneak peek, the stage is almost set for what will serve as Jesus’ (Roumie) final meal with his companions — known around the world as The Last Supper.

The newest season of ‘The Chosen’ is coming exclusively to Prime Video.

“The Chosen” has become a global phenomenon. The series, which follows the life of Jesus of Nazareth to depict the stories seen in the Bible as accurately as possible, is preparing to roll out its fifth season. Since “The Chosen” is on a new streaming service this year, we thought we would help confused viewers by giving details on its new home, and let you know everything else you’ll want to be caught up on before Season 5 premieres.

He has spoken. The Chosen creator, Dallas Jenkins, has once again opened up with some fresh updates about the highly-anticipated sixth season of the biblical series and, this time, it’s actually good news. We’ve known for a while that the next set of episodes won’t be arriving anytime soon, but with Season 5 set to arrive on Prime Video on June 15, following a financially profitable run in cinemas, fans at least have something to look forward to. Although no release date has been set for Season 6, Jenkins revealed during a livestream (via ScreenRant), that audiences can look forward to longer episodes.

Keeping his cards close to his chest, the show’s creator, director, and co-scribe teased the sixth season's impending arrival, sharing, “Season 6, the first six episodes, are going to be coming out sometime next year,” before backtracking, “It won’t be early next year.” Walking a fine...

The Chosen is moving to Prime Video for it’s fifth season!

The biblical series’ latest episodes, dubbed The Chosen: Last Supper, will be released on the streamer in three parts, and the full trailer has been unveiled.

Season five “follows Jesus’ triumph to treachery as his final days unfold in a story that changed the world. Welcomed as a king into Jerusalem, he boldly confronts the corrupt merchants, sparking a chain of events that shakes the city. While religious leaders scramble to silence his growing influence, Jesus shares one last meal with his closest followers. But in the shadows, Judas makes a deal that seals both their fates. In a tale of power, faith, and betrayal that echoes through time – one man’s ultimate sacrifice becomes humanity’s greatest story.”

Everyone knows sliced bread is the best thing to happen since Betty White. The iconic television star gained massive acclaim and fame with her role in The Golden Girls, and she filled her later acting career with countless cameos. Her inimitable presence brought immense charm and humor to any show.

One such cameo happened in 2004 when she appeared in Malcolm in the Middle. As expected from Betty White, the character oozes a mix of passion, wit, and talent. She shines brighter than everyone whenever she appears, and her appeal is as much her star power as her talent. To be more precise, Betty White pops up as Sylvia in the twentieth episode of Season 5, “Victor’s Other Family.” The episode debuted on May 9, 2004, and marked the series’ 105th entry.

However, the Almost Famous actress doesn’t believe that she got roles in Hollywood due to her famous father.

"The hacker will save the world." Vertical Entertainment has debuted a trailer for a film called The Crash, about a stock market crash in the "near future". Described as a "fast-paced, save-the-world thriller" about a stock market criminal who is secretly hired by the government to run a "shadow" stock market in order to keep the economy stable. This has an oddly impressive ensemble cast: Dianna Agron, Minnie Driver, Frank Grillo, John Leguizamo, Maggie Q, AnnaSophia Robb, Mary McCormack, Ed Westwick, Andrew James Allen and Christopher McDonald. As interesting as this may look, it actually seems to be some seriously absurd stock market propaganda, about how important the stock market is to the stability of the country. Truth is, it is bad, we'd be better off without it. But they don't want you to think about that. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Aram Rappaport's The Crash, direct from...

Tommy Wirkola and the ABC TV show Once Upon a Time have a lot to answer for…

Since the debut of the TV show and more importantly Wirkola’s movie Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, there have been more and more fairytale, and in particular Hansel & Gretel-related, flicks hitting DVD, I’ve already reviewed the god-awful Hansel & Gretel: Warriors of Witchcraft and now we have the Tribeca Films distributed stoner horror-comedy Hansel & Gretel Get Baked (aka Hansel & Gretel and the 420 Witch). Which has, for reason only known to the UK distributor and undoubtedly supermarket buying managers everywhere, been re-titled Grimm Tales for its UK release on May 4th.

Starring Michael Welch, from the Twilight saga and the fantastic TV show Joan of Arcadia, as Hansel and Molly C. Quinn,...

Director: Michael J. Gallagher. Review: Adam Wing. Stop me if you've heard this one. We open in a suburban household, where a hot babysitter is having a conversation with the girl she's looking after. The young damsel is on the internet, chatting to strangers online. They talk about the dangers of chat rooms and the pitfalls of cyber-stalking. The young girl tries to scare the hot babysitter with a myth about a masked man who preys on unsuspecting users. After a few obligatory ass shots, the babysitter is butchered to death by a monster called Smiley, so called because he stitched his own eyes shut before carving his mouth into a smile. Nice. Then we cut to the opening titles. With Smiley, director Michael J. Gallagher isn't interested in bringing anything new to the table. He takes an attractive theme, both intriguing and current, and largely ignores it in favour...

Margaret (Linda Hamilton) and Bruce (Ted McGinley) meet their babysitter Zoe (Hallee Hirsh) in our exclusive scene from Bad Behavior, which is currently available on DVD. What starts out to be a quiet night for Zoe turns into a nightmare when she discovers that one of the teenagers she's watching has had a psychotic breakdown. Watch what happens before all the terror unfolds.

The nail-biting DVD Premiere stars Hallee Hirsh (TVs Grey's Anatomy) as Zoe, a teenager hired for an overnight babysitting assignment from a seemingly perfect family. The only worry she has is avoiding the unwelcome advances of teen brothers Tyler and Jack. Things go awry when Zoe suddenly finds herself in a bathroom groggy and confused with only the two youngest kids with her. While Tyler tries to explain how they got in there, an intruder attempts to break the door in.

Soon Zoe discovers the "intruder" is Jack,...

Smiley follows Ashley, a young woman freshly arrived at university, who finds herself caught up in the online urban legend of Smiley, a mysterious, seemingly supernatural killer who kills via a social networking site… After testing out the urban legend for herself, Ashley becomes paranoid and starts to think she sees Smiley everywhere, stalking her. But how can that be if he’s not real?

Literally a slasher movie for the internet age, Smiley features of cast of YouTube “celebrities” including Shane Dawson and Toby (Tobuscus) Turner and comes from writer Ezra Cooperstein, who also happens to be the head of sales for Maker Studios, one of the premiere producers of YouTube content. The plot is a riff on the classic ‘Bloody Mary’ urban legend,...

Anchor Bay Films announced today the acquisition of Small Time starring Christopher Meloni (42, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Man of Steel), Bridget Moynahan (I, Robot, Lord of War, Blue Bloods) and Dean Norris (Breaking Bad, Little Miss Sunshine, Under the Dome). Written and directed by Joel Surnow, Emmy Award-winner and co-creator of the hit series 24, small time is his debut feature film and loosely based on his real life experiences. The agreement with Abf covers all North American rights and today's announcement was made by Anchor Bay Entertainment's President, Bill Clark.

Kevin Kasha, Anchor Bay's Executive Vice President, Acquisitions and Co-Productions, released the following statement.

"Small Time is a real gem for us and we're really looking forward to working with Joel. "The team loves this film and we are excited to be distributing it."

Writer-director Joel Surnow also released his own statement.

We return with the latest edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes release details for A Resurrection, the first teaser trailer for Ten, a review of Smiley, and much more:

First Teaser Trailer for Ten: “Ten is a collectivist, post-exploitation psychological thriller devised as a possible explanation for the events of the 1972 Spektor Island Massacre. On a cold December afternoon, ten women arrive at a mansion on Spektor Island, famed for years of reported hauntings and strange activities. Will they live through the night?

The all-female cast film is a response to exploitation, slasher, and thriller films, with particular focus on the kind of storytelling prominent in b-movies and genre films from the 1950s to the 1980s. It explores the meaning and fluidity of identity and takes a number of surprising turns, paying homage to filmmakers and producers such as Alfred Hitchcock,...

*a few minor spoilers are here. Director: Duane Journey. Writer: David Tillman. Cast: Lara Flynn Boyle, Michael Welch, Molly Quinn, and Cary Elwes. It is often interesting to see how a film markets itself. Hansel & Gretel Gets Baked makes note of producer Mark Morgan's attachment to the Twilight series of films. His name is mentioned instead of the cast as seen left. However, Hansel & Gretel Gets Baked is not really for the Twilight crowd. There are no glittery vampires here, nor werewolf lovers. Instead, there is almost an equal amount of both comedy and horror. Jokes abound and so does the gore. Meanwhile, actress Lara Flynn Boyle anchors the film expertly with her character, the notorious witch of German fairytales. All of the performances are solid, but this film will be remembered for its hilarity and light-hearted mood. Gretel (Molly C. Quinn) likes her weed and so does her stoner boyfriend,...

Shawn Dawnson Talks Smiley, available this week on DVD

Evil wears a smile in director Michael J. Gallagher's Smiley, which arrives on DVD this week. After learning of an urban legend in which a demented serial killer named Smiley can be summoned through the Internet, mentally fragile Ashley must decide whether she is losing her mind or becoming Smiley's next victim.

We recently caught up with one of the stars of the film, Shane Dawson, who has amassed a huge fanbase online for his hilarious Youtube videos. Smiley serves as the actor's first feature role, and a dramatic departure from the comedy skits he's known for. Soon to be a major force in entertainment and a household name before the end of the decade (you may not know him yet, but your kids sure do), we sat down with Shane to find out more about the movie, and his involvement in it.

As TV thrillers go, this was one of the more tense Criminal Minds episodes. As usual, I found myself conflicted between the great writing and the horrific subject matter, especially as the latter involved children.

Tonight's UnSubs in "The Wheels on the Bus" were a pair of brothers who, after being kicked off of a gaming site, decided to create their own version of the online video game entitled "Gods of Conflict" by playing it out in real life, using high school students as their game pieces, and real guns as their weaponry.

The gameplay around the first confrontation seemed uneven: one player merely had to open a box with a key, take out a gun and shoot the other player, whereas the other had to assemble a gun before he could even get in the game. I couldn't buy the fact that the girl remained functional after killing her classmate,...

Prepare for the high of your life! And no, this has nothing to do with that Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters movie! This is something completely different. And hilarious by the way! Described as a horror-comedy (apparently that shit really exists), Hansel and Gretel & The 420 Witch comes from director Duane Journey and is actually some kind of a crazy spin on the classic German fairy tale. Today we have some cool images, poster and the first trailer for the whole thing, hope you’ll like it!

Some say the story is completely crazy, but I say that’s quite logical thing when you have one weird witch who uses pot instead of candy to lure teenagers into her home!

So, as I mentioned, Hansel and Gretel & The 420 Witch is a contemporary spin on the classic German fairy tale Hansel & Gretel about a brother and sister who battle a witch...

The new studio Synchronicity will make a splash at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California this week with new projects Cooties, Due Process, and Smiley.

Smiley already has a distribution deal in place through AMC theaters in a limited number of markets. It seems Synchronicity is seeking to expand off of that platform release.

Cooties stars Elijah Wood and centers on an elementary school that becomes infected with a bizarre virus, turning the innocent children into savage, feral creatures. Steven Schneider is producing with Ace Norton set to direct.

Due Process comes from director Paul Currie, who is working from a script by Anthony Derrico. The story revolves around two bankers who set out to foreclose on a rural farm. Mark Holder, Christine Holder, and Mark Williams are producing, with shooting scheduled to begin in January.

Cooties comes to theaters in 2013 and stars Elijah Wood.

Title: Smiley Director: Michael Gallagher Starring: Caitlin Gerard, Melanie Papalia, Shane Dawson, Toby Turner, Andrew James Allen, Roger Bart, Keith David, Liza Weil A thunderously stupid horror movie of slapdash construction and ping-pong tonalities, “Smiley” builds its narrative around the notion of a viral video serial killer who’s summoned by way of a specific web chat incantation. Impressive only for its ability to chase unlikeliness and viewer frustration down an ever-increasing rabbit hole of bewilderment, director Michael Gallagher’s motivation-free genre exercise is populated with characters who, when not busy exhibiting the decision-making and inner emotional landscapes of 12-year-olds, are pantomiming the same age group’s mindset of adults and scariness — all [ Read More ]

The post Smiley Movie Review appeared first on Shockya.com.

Rating: 2.5/5.0

Chicago – What if all the evil on the internet manifested itself into a supernatural being with the power to kill a la Candyman? Such is the relatively clever premise of “Smiley,” opening in limited release this week. It’s a modest, low-budget horror movie with some effective ideas and an engaging lead performance but it clutters itself down with too much dialogue about its title character and the very concept of evil being potentially brought to physical life. Every time that it feels like “Smiley” could become something interesting, it falls back into clichés. It’s a film about the next generation of horror villains that owes too much to the older ones.

The premise has a solid hook. People who spend way too much time online form a community around a Chatroulette service. Anonymity is a requirement for these people even though they get together and party. Videos...

Around here we're good to Smiley. Why? Because we don't want him showing up behind us and tearing our throats out. Pretty simple logic there, no? Anyway, the grinning killer has reciprocated our love by hooking you cats up with an exclusive poster and clip! Dig it!

There are plenty of great horror movie slashers that you know by name: Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Victor Crowley, Cropsey, Leslie Vernon. While certainly all different in appearance, they share two key commonalities: a) they all kill teenagers, and, more importantly, b) they each have a backstory. Some are chilling, some are tragic, but each of those killers has a distinct and compelling reason for doing what they do.

This is where Smiley falls short.

Sort of like a Candyman for the cyber generation, Smiley is the story of Ashley (Caitlin Gerard), a sweet, naïve girl who heads off to college after the untimely death of her mother. She moves into a house with slutty party gal Proxy (Melanie Papalia), who of...

The plot doesn’t exactly sound that original, but quality always lies in the execution. It’s fascinating how Internet stars are increasingly crossing over to work in the “legitimate” filmmaking world. Stuff like Smiley is likely a harbinger of what we can expect for the future of movie making.
