Michelle Page has booked a recurring role on Amazon's drama series Bosch. Page will play Harmony, an exotic dancer. Bosch is a police procedural based on Michael Connelly's novels about a veteran homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. Bohemia Group-repped Page played the younger version of Frances Conroy’s character Myrtle in American Horror Story: Coven and was most recently seen in a lead role in indie feature The Party is Over with Kathy Baker and…...

*here be major spoilers. Director: Jourdan McClure. Writers: Ryan Finnerty and Kevin Haskin. Cast: Michelle Page, Art Alexakis, Chris Coy, Michael Cudlitz, Lucinda Jenney, and Bill Moseley. Tagline: "Still waters run deep." Rogue River is the second project that this reviewer has seen from Kejo Productions. The other was a thriller titled Sensored starring Robert Picardo. Sensored was a entertaining outing. Rogue River is less thrilling and more predictable. Even a theme of incest only creates a few unsettling moments. This film, which clocks in at a mere eighty-one minutes, is not really recommended for horrors fans seeking something really frightening. The film follows Mara (Michelle Page) on her journey to bury her father's ashes. She is interrupted by a friendly man, Jon (Bill Moseley). He wants to help her after her car has been stolen. Or, does he want to help himself to Mara when he has her back at an isolated cabin?...

Synopsis:

While spreading the ashes of her father along the stunning Rogue River, Mara (Michelle Page) bumps into pleasant local Jon (Bill Moseley) who befriends and consoles her over warm conversations about his life. When the two head back to their cars, Mara notices her own has mysteriously vanished and with sundown quickly approaching, she reluctantly takes Jon up on his offer of warm hospitality for the night. She’s soon going to wish she didn’t.

It might be easy to dismiss Rogue River as yet another derivative torture film - “Torture Porn” is just a ridiculous term which I will never use – but I urge you not to because this little twisted nightmare is well worth your time.

Okay, so it does feel that tiny bit familiar and when the craziness is dialled up a few notches, every torture film you’ve ever...

The film opens and ends with a river, but it is more a tranquil river rather than a rogue one. Introspective Mara (Michelle Page, who looks like a Keira Knightley stand-in) spends too long gazing at this Rogue River; and her car is towed. Stuck in the middle of nowhere, Mara relies on the kindness of the stranger who appears at her side. Didn’t her mother warn her about getting into cars with strangers?

Jon (Bill Moseley) takes her home to his wife Lea (Lucinda Jenney)—no wait, she’s his sister!—who is preparing dinner. After some awkward conversation, Mara retires to bed; and everything gets really weird. Jon shows up in her bedroom in his underwear and freaks her out. Then she runs into Lea in a bathrobe in the kitchen. Lea pees on the floor whilst repeating some creepy phrase, yanks the wig off her head...

Title: Rogue River Directed by: Jourdan McClure Starring: Michelle Page, Bill Moseley, Lucinda Jenney and Chris Coy Running time: 81 minutes, Rated R Mara drives to Rogue River after the death of her father to scatter his ashes. While grieving at the riverbank, a man named Jon greets her and offers to walk her to her car which has disappeared. In the middle of nowhere with no cell reception, she accepts a ride to civilization only to be taken hostage and subjected to horrors no sane person could imagine. After watching the trailer, I felt really sick and extremely hesitant about watching this film. Some of the torture scenes are  [ Read More ]...

Moseley remarked that working on Rogue River was especially fulfilling for him because of one of his co-stars. "I knew what I was getting into," Moseley said."It was the first time I'd ever worked with my girlfriend, Lucinda Jenney, who plays Lea. That was a lot of fun.

"I got the job and my manager, Judy Fox, said they haven't yet cast Lea and she asked, 'What about Lucinda?'" Moseley said. "Well, Lucinda has a lot more and better credits than I do,...

It’s the start of another week, so you know what that means: yet more DVD and Blu-ray releases hit the high street, ready and waiting to swallow up all your hard-earned cash – that’s if you have any left. I know I haven’t until payday! Anyway here’s the rundown of what’s available to buy from today, January 16th 2012.

Pick Of The Week

Rogue River (DVD/Blu-ray)

When scattering her father’s ashes at a remote part of the beautiful Rogue River in Oregon, Mara’s (Michelle Page) car is towed away by the over-zealous local police. She accepts the offer of a ride into town by a kindly passerby Jon (Bill Moseley - Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Devil’s Rejects) but they must first make a quick stop at his place to tell his wife what he’s up to. These people aren’t what they...

Fans of genre legend Bill Moseley, and his proficiency at portraying wide-eyed psychotic backwoods characters, have some good news right here as G2 Pictures and After Dark will be releasing Jourdan McClure’s twisted slice of savagery known as Rogue River (review here) to DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on January 16th, 2012.

Synopsis:

Wanting to scatter her father’s ashes at a significant place, Mara (Michelle Page) drives to a remote part of the beautiful Rogue River in Southern Oregon. When Mara’s car is towed away by over-zealous police, she accepts the offer of a ride into town by a kindly passerby. First they must stop by his place, though, in order for Jon (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and The Devil's Rejects horror legend Bill Moseley) to tell his wife, Lucinda, what he’s up to. So begins Mara’s nightmare descent into utter horror and disgust. For Jon...

Boomtron recently got the chance to interview up and coming actress, Michelle Page. At age 24, she has gotten many great performances under her belt with more on the way. She talked about being an actress in different medians and working with other actors.

Michelle began acting at age 8 in various theater performances where she earned much praise. She has gone on to guest star in shows such as Bones, CSI: Miami, Cold Case, and Castle. She also recently filmed a guest appearance in the show CSI: NY that will run October 7th. She also has several films that are set to come out soon. This extremely talented actress has a huge future ahead of her and has secured her self as a rising star in the acting world.

Boomtron: Michelle Page

Boomtron: So you started performing at age 8 in theater productions, but what made you decide to become a full time actress?...

Picking up where Thursday's nerve-shredding scares left off, mid-morning marks a violent, if somewhat predictable opener in the form of Rogue River. Hinged on an overused plot formula in which a stranded victim accepts a lift from an apparently helpful passer-by, the movie is the latest in a long line of Texas Chainsaw Massacre copycats. A seasoned pro in this much-imitated field, horror legend Bill Moseley is instantly at home in the role of sadistic torturer Jon, with newcomer Michelle Page turning in a convincingly distressed performance as hapless victim Mara. But despite a couple of plot twists thrown in almost as an afterthought, Rogue River inevitably meanders into deeply unoriginal territory...

Rogue River

Directed by Jourdan McClure

Starring Michelle Page, Bill Moseley, Lucinda Jenny

USA 2010

First time helmer Jourdan McClure does a solid job with this effective but ultimately disposable horror / thriller that treads a well-worn genre path, not dissimilar to Misery or I Spit on Your Grave.

A distraught Mara visits a remote fishing location in Southern Oregon to spread the ashes of her recently diseased father. When her car mysteriously vanishes, she decides to trust the kindly stranger she met merely ten minutes ago and allows him to take her to his house to call for help where his obviously unhinged wife also lives. Improbable circumstances occur and Mara ends up having to stay the night, which is when the couple’s true nature boils to the surface.

There’s little directly wrong with Rogue River aside from it’s contrived opening segment which sees our protagonist make a series of unbelievably stupid decisions,...

Rogue River

Stars: Michelle Page, Bil Moseley, Lucinda Jenney, Michael Cudlitz | Written by Kevin Haskin, Ryan Finnerty | Directed by Jourdan McClure

Taking a trip into the wilds of Oregon to scatter her fathers ashes at Rogue River (hence the title), Californian Mara (Page) finds her car towed by the local Sheriff. However all is not lost as a kindly passing stranger, played by Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2‘s Bill Moseley, offers to give her a lift, which she begrudgingly accepts. Big mistake…

Yes, no points for guessing what happens next as Rogue River is as cliched as they come – Mara is kidnapped and both emotionally and physically tortured by good-old-by Jon and his cohort Lea, played Moseley and his real-life wife Lucinda Jenney respectively, before being subjected to a degrading act of copulation with her own brother who has come to find her! Of course this being your typical torture/rape/revenge flick,...

A Db floats in a boat in Central Park. Martha (Susan Sullivan) is going to teach an Introduction to Life Coaching Class and she's made cards, quoting Castle (Nathan Fillion) as a client. She's had experience with him since she's told him what to do his whole life. (Well almost his entire life.) Alexis (Molly C Quinn) wants Castle to chaperon on her Washington DC trip. The Db in the park was Donny (Drew Van Acker) and attended Redding Prep. Castle says he also attended Prep school. Lanie (Tamala Jones) puts Cod to a single Gsw to the chest and he wasn't killed in the boat. Castle brings up the subject of Vikings burying their dead on boats, but a Viking burial isn't his theory on this case. Donny's parents explain he was always with his friends and this father lost his money. Castle claims that's tough on a teen.

Nothing could be creepier than waking up in the middle of night to a partially nude Bill Moseley. The latest trailer for Kejo Production's and Vision Entertainment's Rogue River scares viewers with more than just that, however. Characters Jon (Moseley) and Lea (Lucinda Jenney) terrorize a grief stricken Mara (Michelle Page) morning, noon and night. Lea and Jon remove clothes and wigs to shock audiences and to make Mara wish she had parked her car somewhere else, somewhere much farther away from Oregon's beautiful Rogue River.

Have a look at the newest film poster for Rogue River, which has added some details since the original, posted here (Rogue River Original Film Art). As well, Dread Central has debuted a much fuller trailer for this horror thriller, which shows more of actress Michelle Page and too much of Moseley. The film clip is below.

We're always interested in seeing what genre fave Bill Moseley is up to and trust most of our readers are as well, which is why we're happy to start the week off with the trailer debut for Bill's latest project, director Jourdan McClure's Rogue River.

Rogue River follows a young girl named Mara (Michelle Page) who, while struggling with the recent death of her father, sets off on a solitary journey to Oregon’s Rogue River to scatter his remains.

When Mara’s car gets towed, she accepts a ride from Jon Wall (Moseley), an affable redneck type, mourning the death of his young daughter. A quick detour leads them to Jon’s beautiful cabin deep in the woods where his wife, Lea (Lucinda Jenney), quickly captivates Mara as they find solace in the shared grief of their own personal tragedies. But all is not as it seems on the picturesque Rogue River.

It's been a few months since last we talked about Jourdan McClure's latest horror flick Rogue River starring Bill Moseley, Michelle Page, Michael Rooker, and Lucinda Jenney. With the passage of time, though, come good things, and we've gotten our hands on a bitchin' new still from the flick for you!

"With Rogue River I wanted drive the audience to hell without a seatbelt," McClure tells Dread Central. "We always tried to make sure the characters were slowly shedding their psyche instead of just jumping right into full blown psychosis. This film was made for people who can appreciate fucked up people doing fucked up shit."

Sold! Dig on the goods after the plot crunch, and look for release info soon!

Director Jourdan McClure's film Rogue River has unveiled a nostalgic looking poster that captures what the film is all about, entrapment. This Kejo Production stars Michelle Page (Burying the Ex), Bill Moseley (The Graves), Michael Rooker (Penance) and Chris Coy (True Blood).

Rogue River, starring Bill Moseley and Michael Rooker, is moving into post-production, with some early details filtering this way. The film also stars Michael Cudlitz (Surrogates) and Art Alexakis (Detroit Rock City). The story involves character Mara returning to her hometown to bury her recently deceased father.

Sci-fi star Robert Picardo is making his way into the horror genre with upcoming roles in Trail of Blood, Awakened, and the recently completed Sensored. Sensored involves author Wade Mixon developing delusions after his mind is "invaded by the terror of his murderous past" (Sensored). This film will be on DVD and Blu-ray formats February 2nd (see above). Fans of horror will want to check out this trailer for Sensored, as Robert Picard, a Star Trek and Stargate Sg-1 alumni, suffocates, tortures, and basically makes a bloody mess of his basement and neighbours.

This scribe caught up with actor and all-around nice guy Bill Moseley(The Devil’s Rejects), who's adding yet another genre notch to his already prolific career in horror.

"I'm up here in Grants Pass, Oregon, shooting a sick and as yet uncovered movie called 'Rogue River'," the actor informed us. "It's directed by Jourdan McClure - remember that name! – and it stars me, Michelle Page (Sensored) , Michael (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer) Rooker, and my real-life girlfriend (television actress) Lucinda Jenney."

Filming until December 20th, first-time filmmaker McClure is shooting from a script penned by screenwriters Kevin (Sensored) Haskin and Ryan Finnerty. Dread did some dredging of Rogue River, and here’s the upshot: The film revolves around the plight of Mara (played by Page), who, while scattering her father’s ashes, makes the acquaintance of a seemingly benign man named Jon (Moseley). Appearances are deceiving,...

Indie director Todd Langseth sent Fango an update regarding his upcoming feature Stingy Jack (which we last told you about here), and what an update it is. In a bit of casting sure to please and perk up the ears of genre fans everywhere, Langseth has signed horror vet Kane Hodder (pictured).

The erstwhile Jason will play Duncan Jacobs, the onscreen brother of The Devil’S Rejects actor Lew Temple. “After speaking with both Lew and Kane, they both agree wholeheartedly that the lineup within Stingy Jack is definitely something of a wonderful thing that they both look forward very much,” Langseth tells us.

In addition, after citing Halloween and The Fog as major influences, Langseth has signed an actor with both on his résumé, Charles Cyphers. The Exorcist’s Eileen Dietz and Michelle Page have also come on board the story of a small town that must face strange...
