Based on a Nick Cutter short story, Rodrigo Gudios adaptation of The Breach is a cosmic twist on the classic cabin-in-the-woods horror story. Allan Hawco as John Hawkins investigates when a mangled body washes up one day, boneless and skinless. The case goes from strange to bizarre as Hawkins treks into the wilderness with the coroner, Jacob (Wesley French), and tour guide, Meg (Emily Alatalo). Once the trio discovers the cabin of Dr. Parson, all bets are off as the film spirals out of graphic police procedural and into cosmic body horror. At times, The Breach is overburdened by too many ideas, attempting to blend a police thriller with old-school sci-fi, zombie gore, and classic Lovecraftian terror. As perhaps an unintentional remedy, The Breach maintains a break-neck speed to keep the audience rapt, regardless of how muddled the plotlines can become. The Breach is at its strongest when leaning into...

Dark Winds and Blood Quantum actor Kiowa Gordon and Sera-Lys McArthur (Café Daughter, Outlander) have joined the cast of Many Wounds, a contemporary re-imagining of Lee Tamahori’s ground-breaking 1994 Maori film Once Were Warriors, set among indigenous communities in Canada.

Skye Pelletier (Prey) stars in Many Wounds as Mashka, a young teenager on the cusp of being swallowed up by a colonial system meant to further the goals of assimilation who becomes a warrior to protect his family.

Ojibway filmmaker Jeremy Torrie, who wrote and is directing Many Wounds, and producing the film together with Métis producer Tanya Brunel, said he drew on his own personal, painful experiences growing up indigenous in Winnipeg for the script.

“Our intention with this film is to reveal some uncomfortable truths about the effects of generations of forced assimilation and genocide by the Canadian government toward our peoples for a society largely unaware of how deep the wounds go,...

The Breach, not to be confused with Breach, is the second feature from Rue Morgue founding editor Rodrigo Gudiño (The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh). Co-written by Nick Cutter and Ian Weir based on Cutter’s novel, its mix of haunted house and mad scientist themes attracted a lot of pre-release buzz which I was hoping it would live up to.

John Hawkins has one week left as sheriff of Lone Crow. Then he can put the town, and his ex Meg, behind him and start a new job in the city. That, of course, means something terrible has to happen before he can leave. And it does when a canoe bearing the mutilated remains of theoretical physicist Cole Parsons washes up at a local park.

The Guns N’ Roses guitarist co-produces this retro chiller that serves up a corpse, alternate dimensions and an implausible plot

Slash from Guns N’ Roses is one of the producers of this throwback low-budget Canadian horror – and he makes his presence felt on the opening credits with a track that is the cinematic equivalent of playing a screeching guitar solo outside your Glastonbury tent at 6am. Subtle it is not. But possibly spot on for a movie that feels like a blast of 80s nostalgia, paying homage to the era’s nastily effective cheap scary movies.

It begins like a Stephen King novel, in the sleepy town of Lone Crow, where a badly mutilated body drifts in on a canoe. “Where’d the bones go?” marvels sheriff John Hawkins (Allan Hawco), who is days away from a promotion and upping sticks to the big smoke. A driving licence identifies the corpse as Dr Cole Parsons,...

A marriage of police procedural and Lovecraftian horror, Rodrigo Gudiño and Ian Weir’s take on Nick Cutter’s popular genre novel is treading familiar territory for the Fantasia international Film Festival but manages to acquit itself with some distinction thanks to the groundedness and specificity of its approach. It begins when a spectacularly mangled body floats down the Porcupine river in a canoe, and ends in a place which is predictable yet nonetheless retains its sinister quality.

Allan Hawco plays police chief John Hawkins, who is just one week away from moving down south to take up a new job – the very worst time to happen upon a case like this. “This is Jake’s kind of case,” says an officer at the scene of the discovery, referring to Jacob Redgrave (Wesley French). As the jealous former boyfriend of Meg (Emily Alatalo), the woman whom John is on the verge of.

Raven Banner Entertainment announced it has completed production on Rue Morgue Magazine founder Rodrigo Gudiño’s “The Breach,” marking a reunion with former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, who serves as the film’s executive producer and co-producer of the score.

Based on a book by horror novelist Nick Cutter (born Craig Davidson), with a screenplay co-penned by Cutter and Ian Weird, “The Breach” centers on John Hawkins, who is set to retire from his post as police chief of the small town of Lone Crow that is tucked away in the deep woods of northern Ontario. But following the discovery of a gruesome body with uncanny injuries, he’s pulled into an investigation to solve the horrifying mystery, which evades explanation.

“There’s a reason why Nick Cutter’s stories are terrifying audiences,” Gudiño said. “I am thrilled to be bringing his work to life and couldn’t have...

Toronto -- Tina Keeper ("North of 60"), Don Burnstick, Jennifer Baxter and Blues musician Derek Miller have joined the second season cast of the Canadian TV soap "Cashing In" from Animiki See Digital Productions and Buffalo Gal Pictures.

They join a returning cast for the Aptn half-hour dramedy about a fictional First Nations-run gambling palace in Manitoba that includes Eric Schweig, Wesley French, Karen Holness, Glen Gould and Sarah Podemski.

The comic series has found cult status by portraying aboriginal Canadians as sexy and wealthy in a modern casino setting, rather than telling traditional stories in Canada's Great White North.

Vanessa Loewen and Jean du Toit are producing "Cashing In," with Peter Strutt and Phyllis Laing executive producing.
