New RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER Trailer Shoots In {0}
The Final Chapter In The Big Book Of Zombie Killing
February 2017 sees the release of the final Resident Evil film in the long-running live-action movie franchise led by Milla Jovovich, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Since 2002, the video game franchise has released 5 live-action movies, with the sixth coming next February. Once more Jovovich plays superhuman monster-hunter, gunslinger, badass Alice kicking butt and taking names in the action-horror, this time going back to the beginning, Raccoon City, to finish the job and Umbrella Corporation once and for all.
Directed by series producer Paul W.S. Anderson (Death Race, Event Horizon), this last Resident Evil film should bookend the series nicely, or at least provide fans with plenty of fun gung-ho imagery and crazy 3D spectacle, as the trailer below proves.

Review: WORRY DOLLS (2016) {0}
Stars: Christopher Wiehl, Kym Jackson, Tina Lifford, Samantha Smith, Yohance Myles, Kennedy Brice, Brea Grant, R. Brandon Johnson | Written by Danny Kolker, Christopher Wiehl | Directed by Padraig Reynolds
It’s been quite some time since I saw Padraig Reynolds’ debut feature Rites of Spring back at Glasgow Frightfest 2012 and since then Reynolds has been pretty silent on the directing front. However, being a huge fan of that film there was no way I was passing up the chance to see yet another slice of Reynolds’ particular style of Southern Gothic.

Review: INTRUDERS {0}
Stars: Beth Riesgraf, Martin Starr, Jack Kesy, Rory Culkin, Leticia Jimenez | Written by T.J. Cimfel, David White | Directed by Adam Schindler
Anna Rook is isolated from human contact in nearly every way, which is exactly how she likes it. Suffering from crippling agoraphobia and holed up in an old Victorian mansion on the outskirts of town, the people in Anna’s life can be counted on two fingers: her terminally-ill brother, Conrad, and the charismatic Meals-on-Wheels driver, Dan. But Anna’s home is about to be invaded by a trio of small-time criminals after a hidden stash of cash. She can’t bring herself to flee, but what the intruders don’t realise is that agoraphobia is the least of her psychoses.
Home invasion thrillers are ten-a-penny these days, as are single location horrors and, at first, it looks like Intruders was set to join those ranks. Which isn’t neccessarily a bad thing – especially given the film features some fantastic performances from all involved, in particular Beth Riesgraf as the films protagonist Anna…
