Writer/Director Stuart Ortiz, one half of the filmmaking duo known as The Vicious Brothers, is no stranger to blurring fact and fiction. The filmmaker used a reality TV show to send a film crew to their doom in the 2011 found footage gem Grave Encounters. Ortiz’s latest, Strange Harvest: Occult Murder in the Inland Empire, makes for an exciting evolution in his craft.
Framed entirely as a grisly true crime documentary, Strange Harvest tracks two detectives’ pursuit of a grisly serial killer’s murder spree across San Bernardino County. Talking heads and case detectives Joe Kirby (Peter Zizzo) and Lexi Taylor (Terri Apple) investigate the mysterious and elusive “Mr. Shiny,” a serial killer who leaves little in the way of clues despite the ghastly, horrific nature of his crimes spanning from the early ‘90s to the early aughts.
Ortiz weaves an impressive, almost dizzying level of mythology that unfurls slowly,...

Shah — who had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges — entered the plea on Monday morning in Manhattan federal court, one week ahead of the planned trial, which was scheduled to begin on July 18.

Shah’s plea agreement calls for a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. Her sentencing is now scheduled for Nov. 28, the Monday after Thanksgiving.
In addition to time behind bars,...

Despite the election being 492 days away, the campaign of online disinformation has already begun.
During the Democratic debate, tweets began popping up accusing Senator Kamala Harris of not being black. It’s yet another birtherism campaign based completely in fiction and racism, designed to divide Americans, just like the one that plagued Barack Obama—a conspiracy theory amplified by none other than Donald Trump, starting long before his presidential campaign.
When candidates were discussing race on the debate stage, Harris jumped in, saying, “As the only black person on this stage,...
