The Radleys takes the vampire mythos in a new intriguing direction, but the horror comedy fails to stick the landing in its delivery. Technically speaking, the movie is fine. The actors deliver solid performances, and there is a central plot that moves the story along.

The Radleys appear to be a typical family in a small English town. However, when Clara finds herself in a dangerous situation, she discovers a dark secret hidden from her and her brother by their parents.

"Beware - even those who look innocent can be dangerous." Vertical Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for an indie crime mystery thriller titled The Host, the feature directorial debut of TV director Andy Newbery. There have been at least two other major films with the name The Host, including Bong Joon-ho's monster movie, and also the sci-fi flick from Andrew Niccol.

Starring Maryam Hassouni, Mike Beckingham, Dougie Poynter, Nigel Barber, & Suan-Li Ong. Watch out. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Andy Newbery's The Host, direct...
