New thriller 'ATM' trailer

ATM?

Yeah, it's a familiar premise for a horror film. People stuck somewhere with a psycho on the loose trying to kill them. Only difference is this one is inside an ATM kiosk?

Alice Eve (Entourage), Josh Peck (Havoc), Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker) star in this winter thriller. I'm sure for the $3M that was laid down to make it, they'll get their money back. But I'll probably wait until it's streaming before I see it.

Enjoy the trailer.

'ABSENTIA' Review

Synopsis:
Tricia's husband has been missing for seven years. Her younger sister, Callie, comes to live with her as the pressure mounts to finally declare him 'dead in absentia.' Tricia is reluctant, always holding out hope, but Callie is practical and wants her to move on. As Tricia sifts through the wreckage and tries to move on with her life, Callie finds herself drawn to an ominous tunnel near the house. As she begins to link it to other mysterious disappearances, it becomes clear that his presumed death might be anything but 'natural.' It seems that the ancient force at work in the tunnel might have set its sights on Callie and Tricia ... and Tricia's husband might be suffering a fate far worse than death in its grasp.

Cast: Katie Parker, Courtney Bell, David Levine, Morgan Brown, Justin Gordon, James Flanagan and Doug Jones

Absentia takes you on a creeptasic journey.  This is not your average indie horror movie by any means.  This is a horror film.  Director Mike Flanagan crafted an amazing story that raises questions and goose bumps while watching.  Absentia is dark and at times witty with elements of the great suspense which leave you in a state of "what will happen next".  The tension and disbelief that occurs for actors Courtney Bell and Katie Parker is thrilling to watch unfold. 

 Everything about Absentia can be summed up in one word "BRILLIANT".

 Any person out there wanting to make a horror film should take notes when watching Absentia.  This is how you sculpt an indie film.  Find great actors, shoot the film in such a way that your audience is lost in the world you've created and above all, find a brand new story.   Absentia is not a remake of a sequel of a Japanese film, it's original.  That's what this genre is in need of.  New life behind and in front of the camera.

 There is not one fault with Absentia and I hope that this film sores to the top of every Best of List at the end of 2011.  That is the only place this film belongs.

Review: The Good Sisters

Hold onto your candles and your belladonna plants kids!

The Good Sisters will take you on a journey of mystery and discovery. Follow these two, not so average sisters, as they try and figure out why they feel as though they are being watched.

Is it just complete paranoia? Could it be the creepy downstairs neighbor who just moved in? Is it the odd, over talkative woman and her dick of a husband? What about the 'roommates' next door? Who is making these sisters question every move they make?

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot that writer/director Jimmyo Burril laid out in this film. It kept me interested and I never once thought I knew the ending. The setting of the film grabs you as well. Rather then have the sisters live in a stereotypical 'creepy' house, they actually reside inside an apartment home. Which, many people from the North East will recognize. Those types of apartment buildings, which are very large converted homes, are not seen much outside that area and therefore I found it a terrific backdrop for the story.

Debbie Rochon (Colour from the Dark) and April Monique Burril (Chainsaw Sally) make a terrific team in the film. Rochon's calm and class gives her character "Breanne" a much needed air of Maturity. While Burril's character "Kindra" is able to retain a more vulnerable, "new witch" feel. It's a great combination to watch.

I also found the dream sequences and spell casting sequences visually exciting. I looked forward to hearing Rochon & Burril chanting because I knew it wouldn't be long for another enticing visual trip.

Don't worry for your blood fans out there. You'll definitely get your fill. You have to love a good seance that requires a sacrifice.

If you're a lover of any type of witch story, I strongly suggest picking up a copy of The Good Sisters.
