Five years have passed since Supernatural ended its 15-season-long run, and there are still so many storylines we wish could’ve been a little different. Starting off with the most obvious – Dean Winchester dying at the hands of a vampire after being impaled on a nail. Honestly, could they have given the main character of the show a more humiliating ending? Then there’s Charlie’s death, Mary’s wasted potential, and so. much. more.

However, the thing that continues to irk me, even as a die-hard member of Team Free Will, is the treatment of Eve. Let’s be honest. Eve was an ancient being who had lived long before angels and demons existed. She had so much potential of being the big bad of the season, yet she was defeated as if she were a common demon in one of the filler episodes. Say it with me: Eve deserved better!

Eric Kripke chose to bring Eve, the powerful Mother of All, as the primary antagonist of Season Six of Supernatural. Eve was introduced as an extremely dangerous protagonist who could easily defeat the Winchester brothers. I was immediately drawn to the storyline, happy that the series was pitting the Winchesters against probably their biggest challenge of all.

I was so wrong! The Supreme Monster could not rise to her potential because the writing was just plain lazy. While Kripke has been great with his storytelling in other places, he just didn’t care enough to build Eve up to her hype. The result was a below-average villain who fell victim to one of Dean’s cheap-shot tricks.

After being introduced as a threat unlike anything Dean and Sam ever faced in the past five seasons, Eve’s death was just disappointing. Not to mention, Julia Maxwell was capable of taking...

Ten years ago, the writing and directing duo of Jen and Sylvia Soska (a.k.a. the Twisted Twins) teamed up with Katharine Isabelle of Ginger Snaps and Freddy vs. Jason to make the body horror film American Mary (pick up a copy Here). To mark the film’s tenth anniversary, the Soskas have created “a variety of American Mary Ten Year Anniversary items for your collection and to celebrate a decade of modification”, which are available for purchase through their Etsy store. But that’s not the only way they’re celebrating. Speaking to a fan on Twitter, the Soskas revealed they are currently developing an American Mary TV series!

The Soskas said, “We are actually adapting American Mary into a tv series. I think you’ll dig the story that picks up where the film left off. Have always wanted to expand Mary’s world for a few...

I’ll admit I have a soft spot for the scarecrow film. Ever since I was terrified by a TV screening of Dark Night of the Scarecrow back in the 80s, I’ve seen just about every scarecrow-related film going – even those that should probably have never seen the light of day! So of course I Had to see Scarecrow. Even moreso given that it’s (yet another) Canadian genre film and it stars Robin Dunne, an actor whose career I’ve followed ever since I saw him in Cruel Intentions 2 (yes, I liked that film – even more than the original).

The film sees school teacher Aaron Harris (Dunne) doling out punishment to six students serving detention,...

He’LL Scare You To Death Scarecrow Urban Legend Comes To Life On DVD February 25 From Cinedigm

A gruesome legend comes to life in the pulse-pounding horror film, Scarecrow, arriving on DVD February 25 from Cinedigm. The deadly thriller stars Lacey Chabert (“Party of Five,” “Baby Daddy”), Robin Dunne (“Sanctuary”) and Brittney Wilson (“Bates Motel”).

For years the urban legend of the deadly scarecrow has haunted children, and in one small town, the evil comes to life. During the annual Scarecrow Festival, a group of teens are tasked with working on a local farm. Inspired by the surrounding cornfield, they recount a well-known creepy tale of a terrifying, murderous scarecrow. They soon find that there’s some truth to the story. As darkness falls over the cornfields, a monster is out for blood and the teens must run for their lives.

Scarecrow made its broadcast debut on Syfy October 5.

Jen and Sylvia Soska should be on the radar of most fans of the horror genre and it’s progression as a genre with something unique and interesting to offer the current earth or cinema. Their previous, and debut, flick was Dead Hooker in a Trunk, which was written and directed by the spooksome twosome, who also appeared in main roles in the flick. It wasn’t anything special as far as I’m concerned but it has a cult following and it did show the capabilities of these two genuinely interesting filmmakers as well as offering a glimpse at what they could do in a shoestring budget and no-name talent.

American Mary came onto my radar when I saw advertisements for it premiering at London’s Frightfest horror weekend and...

The Soska Sisters' 'American Mary' has just opened in select theatres across the Us including La, New York, Austin, Chicago and San Diego and is still currently showing everywhere else on VOD. And in case you are still yet to check out Katharine Isabelle ('Ginger Snaps') as Mary, the scalpel siren, in this twisted little thriller then maybe this new clip bought to us by Dread Central will help influence your decision. The clip features a few worthy surgery candidates getting snapped by Isabelle including a pleasingly buoyant chested chick shaking her goods. Paula Lindberg ('A Town Called Eureka'), Julia Maxwell, Antonio Cupo ('Dark Angel'), David Lovgren, Twan Holliday and Tristan Risk also star. Head below to check out the latest clip....

We already shared the first trailer, poster(s) and clip from the upcoming American Mary movie. And you liked it, right? Ok then, today we have the first TV spot for the female-centric surgical horror-thriller which comes from Jen and Sylvia Soska, and we definitely recommend you to check it out, ’cause, well… appearances are everything, and this Mary is stylish, artful and darkly funny!

So, as we previously reported, the movie is both written and directed by the Soska Sisters, and centers on a medical student named Mary Mason, played by Katharine Isabelle, as she becomes increasingly broke and disenchanted.

The rest of the story goes like this:

…the allure of easy money sends Mary into the twilight world of body modification and underground surgeries where obsessed flesh artists will pay anything and go through any pain to get their unusual procedures done. But Mary soon finds that her...

The Soska sisters, Jen and Sylvia (or the Twisted Twins as they liked to be called) made a splash in the horror genre with their 2009 debut feature Dead Hooker in a Trunk, a film which gained them an army of fans – including Eli Roth – eager for their next feature. Well they didn’t have to wait too long as the duo are back with American Mary, their hotly-anticipated follow-up fear flick starring Canadian horror icon Katherine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps), which tells the story of wannabe surgeon Mary Mason.

American Mary is an intensely interesting film, part Frankenstein tale, part rock ‘n’ roll horror flick and at the same time a wonderful feminist statement on the horror genre, the movie plays to many people on many levels. The film follows med student Mary who,...

The hot Katharine Isabelle ('Ginger Snaps', 'Freddy vs Jason') plays the title role of 'American Mary' in the latest offering from sibling filmmaking team Jen and Sylvia Soska ('Dead Hooker in a Trunk'). A whole host of new stills from the cutting thriller have arrived available below. Paula Lindberg ('A Town Called Eureka'), Julia Maxwell, Antonio Cupo ('Dark Angel'), David Lovgren, Twan Holliday and Tristan Risk all co-star. UK audiences will be able to check out 'American Mary' for a limited theatrical run kicking off on 11 January just before it lands on DVD and Blu-ray from 21 January. XLrator Media recently picked up the North American distribution rights but an actual release date is not quite set in stone as yet. Head below for the new additions to the gallery....

XLrator Media has acquired all U.S. rights to the horror sensation, American Mary, written and directed by Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska (Dead Hooker in a Trunk). The female-centric surgical horror-thriller will be released on XLrator Media's newly announced Screamfest label in Fall 2013.

XLrator Media CEO Barry Gordon stated.

" American Mary is one of the most original, thought-provoking and subversive horror films I've ever seen. It has riveted audiences at horror festivals and marks the emergence of the 'Twisted Twins' as the most exciting genre directors to come along in years.

American Mary played to highly enthusiastic audiences at La's Screamfest Horror Film Festival in October where it won five awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Cinematography and Best Makeup.

Screamfest co-founder and festival director Rachel Belofsky stated.

"Based on the extraordinary audience response at this year's festival, we knew we had to have this...

Following on from Universal plucking the DVD and Blu-ray release of surgically based horror 'American Mary' here in the UK the Us distribution rights have been targeted by XLrator Media. Surprisingly, however, even though the UK home release will arrive in late January our American cousins won't see the latest horror project from the Soska sisters until sometime during the Fall/Autumn of 2013. XLrator will release 'American Mary' through their Screamfest label but the official date is still yet to be confirmed. The project stars Katharine Isabelle -below ('Ginger Snaps'), Paula Lindberg ('A Town Called Eureka'), Julia Maxwell, Antonio Cupo ('Dark Angel'), David Lovgren, Twan Holliday and Tristan Risk.

Universal Pictures is revving up its UK release of the Soska sisters latest blood filled venture 'American Mary'. The gory story of 'Mary' an exceptional med student who by day trains to be a surgeon and finances her studies by stripping at night. Katharine Isabelle ('Ginger Snaps') sinks her teeth into the title role and plants her blood spattered self upon the new UK DVD artwork which you can check out below. The DVD and Blu-ray arrives in the UK on 21 January 2013. And what's more scary is that Isabelle has never looked sexier than sporting her black surgeon's apron. 'American Mary' co-stars Paula Lindberg ('A Town Called Eureka'), Julia Maxwell, Antonio Cupo ('Dark Angel'), David Lovgren, Twan Holliday and Tristan Risk....

The Soska sisters Jen and Sylvia have been good enough to post a brand new international one-sheet for their surgically shocking horror 'American Mary'. The poster features the fine figure of Miss Katharine Isabelle ('Ginger Snaps', 'Freddy vs. Jason') preparing for what seems to be an unorthadox looking operation. 'American Mary' will arrive next year and its set to hit DVD and Blu-ray here in the UK from 21 January 2013. Paula Lindberg ('A Town Called Eureka'), Julia Maxwell, Antonio Cupo ('Dark Angel'), David Lovgren, Twan Holliday and Tristan Risk also star. Check out the new artwork below....

Here at Dread Central we love the Soska sisters, and we're happy to report that their latest flick, American Mary, just landed distro overseas so now the whole world can officially dig on their lunacy!

According to The Daily Dead the film has been acquired by Universal Pictures International Entertainment.

The Soska sisters, Jen and Sylvia (Dead Hooker in a Trunk), are preparing their second feature. Their newest horror film, American Mary, deals with underground surgeries. And, Mary is not someone you would likely hire for a quick nip and tuck. The first trailer shows a few surgeries gone wrong. Apparently, Mary (Katharine Isabelle) has dropped out of medical school. She now experiments on a steady stream of clientele. Her results are disturbingly lackluster. Late in the clip, Dr. Josef Mengele is mentioned. If you missed the joke, that is because Mengele has been dead for thirty years now. Previously, he was a Nazi doctor who performed pseudo-science on twins and other concentration camp prisoners. Enjoy the dark humour below. Directors: Jen Soska, and Sylvia Soska. Writers: Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska. Cast: Katharine Isabelle, Julia Maxwell, Antonio Cupo, Connor Stanhope, Paul Anthony, Paula Lindberg and John Emmet Tracy. The...

Following on from the various teaser pics and other early artwork from the Soska sisters' 'American Mary' finally comes the first official trailer from the feature about the world of underground surgery. The flick stars 'Ginger Snaps' hottie Katharine Isabelle as medical student Mary and she is joined by Paula Lindberg ('A Town Called Eureka'), Julia Maxwell, Antonio Cupo ('Dark Angel'), David Lovgren, Twan Holliday and Tristan Risk.

Opening Film - The Seasoning House (World Premiere)

Special make-up prosthetics and splatter genius Paul Hyett makes his directorial debut with a harrowing exploration into tense claustrophobia, hard-hitting action and rollercoaster suspense. In a Balkan brothel, where girls kidnapped by soldiers in war-torn zones are prostituted to the military and civilians alike, Angel (Robin Day) is the deaf mute orphan enslaved to care for the inmates. But unbeknownst to her captors, she moves between the walls and crawlspaces of the seasoning house planning her escape. Psychological horror in the nerve-shredding Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski style but with an ultra-modern twist.

89 mins Director: Paul Hyett UK 2012

Rosie Day – Angel

Sean Pertwee – Goran

Kevin Howarth – Viktor

David Lemberg...

Eve (Julia Maxwell) touches a man from the bar and when she goes in, one notices the blood on her dress. She kisses him giving him a gift and infects everyone. A rabid fight breaks out as they all attack each other and she watches. Dean (Jensen Ackles) prepares bullets containing ash: enough for 5 shells. Bobby (Jim Beaver) comments the lore states ash should work and it doesn't do anything to Dean... trust him to try it, well he's human so it wouldn't affect him. Dean tells Cas (Misha Collins) to "get out of my ass." Cas: "I was never in your..." Eve is hidden from angels. Sam (Jared Padalecki) believes a vampire could help. Cas brings Lenore (Amber Benson) to them. Last seen in season 2, she was just brought in to be finished off like a loose end. Sam tells her he lopped off Gordon's head when he became a vampire himself.

A man at a petrol station gives a woman a ride, who turns out to be the mother of all. Eve kisses him and he gives her a sermon on how Jesus loves them. The apocalypse came and went and he didn't even notice. A mother wouldn't abandon a child and she's a mother. She whispers in his ear and Rick (Brent Stait) goes home where he kills his wife (Kimberly Unger). Bobby (Jim Beaver) tells the others how hunters are finding vampires, ghouls, werewolves, on the I-80. Dean (Jensen Ackles) refers to it as the monster march. They speak to Rick in jail and Bobby tags along too, all having to don suits. Sam (Jared Padalecki) views footage and they see Eve (Julia Maxwell). Dean: "freakish nightmare what the hell was that?" Dean refers to Eve as Big Momma. Bobby thinks they're over their heads. Another man goes mad at the cannery.

The weekly round-up (with a few additional bits coming tomorrow):

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette talked to Syfy's Mark Stern at the Winter TCA Press Tour and they have an update on Blood and Chrome. Kind of, anyway. Here is what he says (more at the link):

Is the project dead? Read more after the jump. ...

"No not at all," said Syfy original programming president Mark Stern. "We're trying to figure out the economics right now. I love it but we're trying to put various things together to see how we're going to get it made. My hope is we get it figured out." (...)

Stern said the pilot was a good test to prove the technology could be used in series, although he acknowledged it will likely take a year to get the show on air after it's ordered due to the amount of post-production work that will be required on every episode.

The Toronto International Film Festival media blurb for Simon Davidson’s debut feature, The Odds, likens it to a combination of Rounders and Brick. While this statement is true to a point, the comparisons remain solely on the surface. Poker plays a very small role—as gambling in general looms large—and while the plot concerns teenagers who are way over their heads in adult matters and murder, the hyper-reality of Rian Johnson’s contemporary classic is nowhere to be seen. Such broad generalizations end up doing the film a disservice by trying to pigeonhole it into a set of parameters the target audience will be familiar with. Unfortunately, The Odds can’t live up to those lofty expectations, but that doesn’t mean Davidson hasn’t crafted an entertaining thriller worth a look. Just like its lead character Desson Orr, though, it deserves a chance to stand on its own two feet.

Hit Us series Supernatural has shown its audiences all manner of gruesome creatures and gory encounters with the paranormal – but it’s not all ugly. To celebrate the release of Supernatural: Season 6, Volume 1, available on DVD on 29th August, we’ve compiled a list of the five sexiest (human and non-human) men and women in the Supernatural series. Check out some of these irresistible heroes and villains; if evil was really this sexy, we’d all be in trouble!

The Men 1) Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles)

Sorry Sam, but in a showdown of who is the hottest Winchester brother, your older sibling wins hands down every time. He is of course the formidable and fearless hunter, Dean Winchester: he endured forty years in hell to save his brother, he’s probably one of the only humans feared (and lusted) by even the most powerful of the supernatural creatures, and he...

In tonight’s episode of the CW‘s Supernatural, titled “Mommy Dearest,” the Winchesters, Bobby, and Castiel go up against Eve, the Mother of all things that go bump in the night and she’s got a few tricks up her sleeve! Check out the episode synopsis, promo, and sneak peek below.

Supernatural: Episode Synopsis for “Mommy Dearest” (Season Six, Episode Nineteen)

Sam And Dean Meet Eve — Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles), Bobby (Jim Beaver), and Castiel (Misha Collins) track Eve (guest star Julia Maxwell) to a small town in Oregon. The guys discover the townspeople have been converted to demons, but surprisingly, they all appear to be dying.

When they finally do meet Eve, she decides to torture the brothers by bringing back their mother, Mary Winchester (guest star Samantha Smith), as a demon.

Females haven't fared so well on "Supernatural" since the very beginning, when Sam and Dean's mother met her untimely demise thanks to the yellow-eyed demon, but none has been more beloved than Mary Winchester, who makes a reappearance (sort of) in this week's Episode 19, entitled "Mommy Dearest". Check out the preview and clip below the gallery to give you a taste of what The CW has in store for the fans.

Episode 19 "Mommy Dearest" Synopsis: (4/29/11 Air Date)

Sam And Dean Meet Eve — Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles), Bobby (Jim Beaver), and Castiel (Misha Collins) track Eve (guest star Julia Maxwell) to a small town in Oregon. The guys discover the townspeople have been converted to demons, but surprisingly, they all appear to be dying.

When they finally do meet Eve, she decides to torture the brothers by bringing back their mother, Mary Winchester (guest star Samantha Smith), as a demon.

In Friday's episode of "Supernatural," the Winchester Brothers will finally come face to face with Eve, the Mother of All. Though she's usually played by guest star Julia Maxwell, the villain will take on a different face this time -- she'll look like Mary (Samantha Smith), the boys' long-dead mother.

"It's not really Mary, and Sam and Dean know that. [She thinks] she'll be easier for the boys to talk to this way," executive producer Bob Singer tells Zap2it. "She thinks they can be persuaded because he is her mother."

Luckily, Sam and Dean have had their mother's image used against them before -- Zachariah fully creeped us out when he told them he'd been hooking up with her in Heaven in Season 5.

Eve's motivations remain a bit of a mystery as the season draws to a close. "She's here for a reason. Her kingdom is being messed with. If Crowley's running hell,...

Only five episodes remain of "Supernatural" Season Six, and The CW is pumping out the goods as fast as we can post them. On tap for this evening is a big batch of stills from the upcoming Episode 19, "Mommy Dearest", in which (as the title suggests) the Winchester boys reunite with their mother. Something tells us it's not a happy occasion.

Samantha Smith is back as Mary Winchester on Supernatural. Of all the characters on Supernatural, you have to admit that Mary is one of the strongest if not most key characters on the show. Who can ever forget that scene in the series premiere when Azazel (Fredric Lehne), The Yellow-Eyed Demon, visited the Winchester brothers as children.

Needless to say, the return of Mary does not bode well for Sam (Jared Padalecki) or Dean (Jensen Ackles). Here is a new group of stills provided by CW Network. It looks like we’ll see the entire quartet of Supernatural hunters convene for this family reunion.

There are only a few more episodes left in Supernatural Season 6. After that, the only way to get your Winchester brother fix will be at San Diego Comic Con, where Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are sure to be in attendance, as well as Misha Collins. We talked with Collins last year at Sdcc and we’re hoping we’ll be able to catch up with him again in July.

The Grim Reaper is hitting Supernatural again.

As Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) prepare to take on Eve, aka the Mother of All (Julia Maxwell), executive producer Sera Gamble told TVGuide.com at Sunday's PaleyFest that the season finale will feature at least two unexpected deaths.

"There will definitely be deaths," said Gamble, who penned the penultimate episode for Season 6. "I would say that...

"Supernatural" fans, we hope you enjoyed the comedic meta episode, "The French Mistake," because there won't be too many laughs for Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) from now until the finale. Last week's episode, "...And Then There Were None" set the tone for the rest of the season. Things are about to get angsty.

When the show returns from its spring hiatus on April 15, some familiar faces are coming back from the dead, and as any demon hunter knows, that's rarely a good sign. Samantha Smith returns as Mary Winchester, Sam and Dean's long-dead mother. The last time we saw her, she was a scary shadow of herself in heaven.

Now, her return is especially troublesome, especially since Sam just shot her father. "What would Mom say?" Sam asked his brother in the last episode. Perhaps we're about to find out. Dean doesn't look too thrilled to see...
