Stars: Johanna Stanton, Nicholas Ball, Debbie Rochon, Matthew Tompkins, Hayden Tweedie, Katie Kensit, Sal Esen, Claire Jared, James Simmons, Scott Christie | Written by Jon Keeyes, Carl Kirshner | Directed by Jon Keeyes

Jon Keeyes is a name that has popped up a lot in genre cinema discussion recently, mainly due to his film The Harrowing gaining traction within the horror community. I’m guessing that’s the reason that Wild Eye chose to go back into Keeyes’ oeuvre for their latest release, Doom Room, which was originally made back in 2013 under the title of Nightmare Box.

The film sees a woman, the girl with no eyes who’s oblivious to her surroundings (Katie Kensit), the pious man of god (James Simmons) who belittles our heroine for her sexuality, and then there’s the husband and wife (Matthew Tompkins and Debbie Rochon respectively) who take our “Jane Doe” on a psycho-sexual S&M trip…...

Tagline: "Terror from All Sides." Doom Room is an upcoming horror film from director Jon Keeyes (The Harrowing).

And, the film stars: Nicholas Ball ("Red Dwarf"), Hayden Tweedie (The Harrowing), Matthew Tompkins ("Prison Break"), Debbie Rochon (Model Hunger) and Johanna Stanton. A trailer was released for Doom Room earlier this week and the clip can be found below. The trailer for Doom Room shows Jane Doe (Stanton). She undergoes a series of tortures, while trying to find a way out of her prison. Other scenes show Jane losing her mind, while other characters stalk her.

Richard John Taylor had no problem attracting investors to his films. After all, he was a senior editor on EastEnders, ran a production company with Louis Theroux and had a lucrative deal with ITV. There was only one problem…

At the end of Tina Renton's book, You Can't Hide, she thanks her friend Richard John Taylor for everything he's done for her. Taylor, a film-maker, had become a saviour of sorts. He had met her through Rape Crisis in August 2011 when she was at her most vulnerable, befriended her, gave her a job as his personal assistant and made her feel worthwhile again.

Renton's story was as inspirational as it was shocking. She had been abused by her stepfather from the age of six. At 14, she told her mother, but her mother said if she went to the police, the family would be left homeless. She threw her partner out of the house,...

Synopsis

When a woman wakes up in a strange room with no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there,...

Highland Myst Entertainment will be launching its new sister company, Highland Myst UK, with the production of The Nightmare Box, and we have the first details on the film, which is set to begin filming in England this January.

The Nightmare Box is the chilling story about a young woman who wakes up in a strange room with no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there and must unravel the mystery of her identity while dealing with a variety of fantastical and frightening characters.

"The Nightmare Box is an experimental movie blending horror and psychological drama," shares director Jon Keeyes. "I've always wanted to do a movie that really twists the perceptions of reality and creates some bizarre and surreal characters that may or may not exist in reality. The movie is a dark journey filled with horror, violence, sex, guilt, shame, and how people...

When I first watched the 2008 rendition of Mamma Mia (starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, etc.) my mind was sent into immediate hiding when the film opened with incredibly loud female shrieks on a dock. The shrieks split sky and eardrum alike and instantly put my brain into a stupor – Sisterhood repeats the assault, but over and over again. However, unlike Mamma Mia, the screams in Sisterhood are meant to elicit laughter (not just migraines), because that’s the caliber of comedy it has to offer. The film may deserve some credit for performing admirably well considering it’s a barebones independent feature created on a shoestring budget, but there are some parts which just can’t be redeemed.

Years ago, Jack (Nicholas Ball) had a really good con going: he’d romance a woman, buy her a vacuum and then get her to sign away her possessions under the guise...
