Insidious actress Lin Shaye has got a new movie coming out called Room for Rent. It’s a thriller in which we see her descend into obsession and madness as she becomes infatuated with a young man who moves into her house.

Here’s the synopsis for the film:

Lonely widow Joyce (Lin Shaye) rents out a room to make easy money. She meets mysterious drifter Bob (Oliver Rayon) and takes him in as a long-term tenant. She becomes obsessed with her much younger guest, making him the object of her deepest romantic fantasies. When a friend's betrayal derails Joyce’s fantasy world, she seizes control of her own destiny with a deadly mission to finally get what she deserves.

While this doesn’t look like it’s going to be a good film, I’m sure that there’s an audience out there that will enjoy the story it tells.

"Silly me... I can't quite reach my towel." Uncork'd Entertainment has debuted an official trailer for Room for Rent, an indie horror thriller from Arizona-based filmmaker Tommy Stovall. Horror icon Lin Shaye stars in this suspense thriller as a lonely widow who rents out a room in her house and becomes dangerously obsessed with one of her younger guests. When a friend’s betrayal derails Joyce’s fantasy world, she seizes control of her own destiny with a deadly mission to finally get what she deserves. The cast includes Oliver Rayon, Valeska Miller, Linda Cushma, Casey Nicholas-Price, and Ryan Ochoa. This looks so tacky and weird and unfortunately incredibly dumb. These kind of bad horror flicks are a dime a dozen nowadays. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Tommy Stovall's Room for Rent, direct from YouTube: Lonely widow Joyce (Lin Shaye) rents out a room to make easy money.

Robert Conway completes(?) his holiday horror franchise with Krampus: Origins, the third film in Conway’s Krampus series which goes back to the first World War to tell the terrifying backstory of the yuletide slaughterer…

The first World War rages on when a group of American soldiers find a mysterious artifact that can summon the ancient evil of the Krampus. After the men are killed in action, the artifact is sent to the commanding officers widow who is a teacher at a small-town orphanage. The orphans accidentally summon the Krampus and the teacher, and her pupils are forced to battle this ancient evil.

When I first reviewed Krampus: The Reckoning back in 2015 I never thought that writer/director Robert...

An in-name only sequel to writer/director Robert Conway’s 2015 Dtv flick Krampus: The Reckoning (review here), Krampus Unleashed once again hangs an unrelated story onto the tale of the Christmas anti-Santa which, at the time this film was made and originally released, in 2016, was riding high off the success of Michael Dougherty’s bigger-budgeted Krampus and an appearance in the portmanteau horror A Christmas Story.

But that was two years ago… Now? Krampus is probably best remembered here by a bunch of unsuspecting supermarket shoppers, who picked up the previous two terrible Dtv films (The Reckoning and The Christmas Devil), as a disappointment and something to be avoided. Which...
