Breaking Infinity is the kind of film I both love and dread seeing on my review schedule. I love it because indie science fiction is frequently full of interesting ideas and concepts that bigger-budget films don’t deal with. I hate it because, often due to their indie budgets, they can’t do those ideas justice. This film had created a bit of a buzz on its festival run, but could it live up to the hype?

Liam lies in a hospital bed as an old man shouts at him to wake up. He does, briefly appearing in a burning building before finding himself back in the hospital where he passes out only to wake up as a different, less injured, version of himself in a different version of the hospital.

Liam must work out not just what he did and what’s gone wrong but how to stop it in the first place when the time-travel gizmo at his super-secret science lab goes wrong

This British-made puzzle of a movie revolves around Liam (Neil Bishop), a young man who wakes up with amnesia in an eerily quiet hospital ward with stitches in his face and a big bandage around his head. He suddenly has a vision of an older man (Martin Bishop) dressed like a shepherd in a nativity play telling him to wake up. When he does, it’s as if he’s shifted to a different point in time, and the injuries are much less severe. The only doctor around is Emma (Zoe Cunningham), who helpfully explains he was exposed to an intense electromagnetic field that caused his memory loss, but when he starts bombarding her with questions...

"There's no future here. Just one, long spiral into forever..." Elli Films, Unfolding Entertainment and Mind Engagement Productions have debuted the first official trailer for a British indie sci-fi film titled Breaking Infinity. It recently premiered at the Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival, where it won Best Director, and will open in UK theaters this June in the summer. Sounds like it could be good. Liam is a scientific researcher who has been "unstuck in time", who must visit the ancient past and distant future. As his jumps through time get more extreme, he is guided to the future by a mysterious old man where he witnesses the end of the world that he may have caused. The sci-fi thriller stars Neil Bishop, Zoe Cunningham, Martin Bishop, Zed Josef, and Jonny Phillips. "We're thrilled that audiences will get the opportunity to see Breaking Infinity on the big screen where it belongs!

3 Demons is writer/director Matt Cunningham’s latest release after delivering one of last year’s better surprises, The Spore. That was a low-budget science-fiction/horror hybrid with great effects but whose episodic storyline kept it from reaching its full potential. This is a pandemic shot supernatural tale that he’s referred to as a “Lynchian possession movie” and backed up with a trailer that oozes Evil Dead influences.

Dr. Sawyer is interviewing James Fisher (Peter Tell; The Spore) in his prison cell as part of a psychiatric evaluation. A former cop, he was assigned to babysit the corpse of Matya Abelman (Laura Golinski).

She was found in a circle of stones in front of a remote cabin. The family and their lawyer were quite adamant that there was to be...
