A full Free Movie of the Day is posted on the JoBlo Horror Movies YouTube channel every other day during the week – but on Fridays things get even freakier and a little more fun. Get your weekend started the right way by indulging in Friday Fright Nights! Every Friday, we’ll be taking a look at another genre movie you can watch in its entirety, free of charge, either on the YouTube channel linked above or in the video embed here.

The Friday Fright Night feature we have for you this week is the 2008 horror film The Devil’s Mercy, a film that shares its inciting incident with many other horror films: it begins with a family moving into a new home. A lot has been written and said about horror movies functioning as morality tales, warning about the evils that will befall you if you do drugs or have premarital sex.

Today we have a brand new trailer for the Canadian horror film "Cell 213," starring Eric Balfour (Skyline), Michael Rooker (Cliffhanger, Days of Thunder), Deborah Valente (Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek). Check it out below. Plot: Cell 213 becomes home to Michael Gray a cocky young attorney, after being framed for the murder of an incarcerated client. Unnatural forces are causing prisoners to kill themselves at abnormal rates and Michael soon discovers that matters of guilt and innocence are not as cut and dry as he would like to believe trapped in this nightmarish cell. The new movie is directed by Stephen Kay (The Craigslist Killer) and is set to hit Canadian theaters on June 10th before coming to the Us in July. Trailer: If you cannot see the player, click here.

Our neighbors up north have a new movie about to open in Canadian theaters on June 10th, entitled Cell 213. This movie, based on the trailer as well as it's cast members, looks pretty promising. And I'll probably be checking it out as soon as it becomes available in the states. Bruce Greenwood (Disturbing Behavior), Eric Balfour (Texas Chainsaw Massacre the remake, Skyline), Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead), and Deborah Valente (Resident Ev…...

It was over a year ago when we first reported that Freestyle Releasing had nabbed U.S. theatrical distribution rights for upcoming horror flick Cell 213, but we've yet to see it. There is a Canadian TV spot floating around, however, and we've got it for you while we await our Stateside opportunity to dig this one.

The film stars Bruce Greenwood (Disturbing Behavior), Eric Balfour (that lousy Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake), Michael Rooker (Henry), and Deborah Valente (Resident Evil: Apocalypse). The TV spot certainly has some promise, and Canadians can check this one out beginning on June 10.

For those of us in the Us, keep watching this space. We'll give it when we get it. And enjoy this quick look at a promising genre film in the meantime.
