How many friends is too many friends? The answer, perhaps unsurprisingly is 6…

5 years after a private graduation party went awry (mostly for a man in a horror mask) our group of female friends head off to a cabin in the woods for a reunion. What could possibly go wrong? Our set up is simple. The 6th Friend trailer talks about “doom” and “secrets”… I tell you what a great, an all-female horror film involving All those things. The Descent. I wish I was watching The Descent.

It says something about my upbringing that when one of the ladies is rude to the male stripper / drug dealer I bristled slightly at how inconsiderate “Heather” was of the man’s feelings. A small businessman no less. What...

I’ve got a fantastically entertaining Batman fan film for you to watch today called "The Demon in the Dark." The short film is packed with action, chaos, destruction, and some really cool surprises that fans will enjoy. The story starts off solid and then escalates into an explosive conclusion. Here’s the synopsis:

They're not good at being good.A secret group of six must work together to deliver a "package" while evading an unknown predator prowling the dark streets of Gotham City. Is it a monster, an alien, or simply a psychopath on a rampage?Explosions, stabbings and gunfire quickly become part of the plan as the squad desperately races to the drop off point, leaving smoking piles of destruction in their wake.

The short film was written by Matt Clouston and directed by Letia Clouston, and I think a lot of you are going to get a kick out of it,...

I’ve had my eye on the career of actress and burgeoning scream queen Jamie Bernadette since we met on the set of the upcoming film Axeman at Cutter’s Creek back in 2012, so it’s little surprise that my curiosity was piqued by the drop of the trailer for Mile Marker Seven, the latest horror feature she’s headlining. Bad things seem to happen in the forest, and she sat down with us to give us the 411.

Written and directed by first-time feature filmmakers Anthony Scarpulla and Anthony Torrez and produced by Petter Anderson, Matthew Helderman and Luke Dylan Taylor, Mile Marker Seven follows (according to the synopsis) the character of "David (actor Wil Daniels), an independent oil contractor, on the brink of semi-retirement, is brought the opportunity of a lifetime by his friend and former business partner, Barry.

The most impressive feats out of San Diego Comic-Con International 2013 aren’t just about the big budget mega-films. But it is about the showcase of the micro-budget indie filmmakers.

And we’re talking about Micro-budget.

Latino-Review exclusively interviewed “Broken Toy” star and series creator Matt Clouston with director/editor Letia Clouston.

This amazing web series have been around since 2009 and it’s costs around $100 per episode. That’s right–$100.

Here’s the synopsis of the series:

Five pilots volunteered for a program to enhance their senses, 4 died horribly, the last one is now causing chaos. Quinn is not a hero, he’s not a anti-hero, he’s merely a villain with a broken brain, unaware that “no, people cannot live without their lungs.” They have no sponsors, never run ads on youtube, and have a minimalist budget per episode, trying their best to be a prime example of what filmmakers can do on their own.

Warning: When combined, women, narcotics, epic partying and an uninvited sixth friend may result in serious bodily harm, dismemberation and/or death. Proceed cautiously.

Written by star Jamie Bernadette (pictured; Axeman at Cutter’s Creek), the independent feature flick and party parable The 6th Friend begins casting next month, according to Bernadette, who will also produce alongside co-star Chantelle Albers. Letia Clouston will direct, with a release slated for 2014.

“I wanted to write a story with an all-female principal cast, who were intelligent and strong and who possess a determination to not allow themselves to be oppressed,” Bernadette told us of her inspiration for the script for The 6th Friend. “I intended to create intricate relationships,” she continued, “between complex characters in the midst of a story of real terror and bloodshed.”

As for the writing process, “It was a blast,” she told us. “I love getting lost in the...

Who can forget Carrie Fisher’s gold, swirly, shamelessly skimpy bikini as a slave girl held captive by Jabba the Hutt in 1983’s Return of the Jedi? Cue sex icon posters of Fisher taped to salivating fanboys’ walls. Fast forward almost 30 years later, with both fanboys and fangirls, er fanmen and fanwomen at this point, awaiting an upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII by 2015, following Tuesday’s huge announcement about Disney acquiring Lucasfilm.

It’s a new world for women in sci-fi fantasy since the metal bikini days, or even since George Lucas’ Star Wars prequels, released in 1999, 2002 and 2005, which starred...

So, you normally don't hear about what women are directing in horror, sci-fi, and fantasy? That's because other assholes don't write about it. Only this asshole does. And there's a lot of new films projects you'll want to check out, if you're a real fannerd.

Aside from German-language release Lollipop Monster by Franziska Riemann and Larysa Kondracki's thriller in mainstream theaters, The Whistleblower, there's a bunch of shit to check out this summer.

Also in theaters is director/writer Miranda July's fantasy film The Future (see our review) opening on August 5th, 2011. This is July's second feature as director, the first being Me and You and Everyone We Know, which everyone who loves arty movies said was amazing. There's a talking cat and romance and a goregous beauty to The Future. Watch the stunning trailer:

It’s that time, again. If you did not catch the first part of the conversation, shame on you! TheMoviePool presents the second portion of a two part interview with two of the talented Forewarned Films staff: Matt and Letia Clouston of the webseries Broken Toy.

Tmp: There are many scenes with some awesome VFX in the series, so far, and I was wondering if you would be willing to share how you pulled these off. For instance, how did you create the blurred speed effect?

Mc: We started off with traditional animation, working frame by frame and then putting it back together and watching what worked. With Episode 1, I had finished all but the “salt shaker” scene. It was the last effect for the episode and was, really, just a throw away shot, so I tried a new tact with the effect.

And then Letia and I looked at...

Tmp: I recently watched the first four episodes of the series and just have to say way to go on some great filming. The first thing I have to ask, to let the audience know just who we’re speaking with, is what role(s) do you play in the filming process of these episodes?...
