From director Aimee Kuge, the indie horror film Cannibal Mukbang puts a horror movie twist on the mukbang trend, and it’s now available on VOD from Jackrabbit Media.

In the new horror movie, “Shy and looking for love, Mark quickly becomes smitten with the outgoing and mysterious Ash, who somehow, much to his surprise, reciprocates the attraction. But as his feelings for her intensify, so does his unexpected submersion into Ash’s biggest love: the wild world of mukbanging. And with it, lots of bloodshed.”

April Consalo, Nate Wise, and Clay Von Carlowitz star in Cannibal Mukbang.

We’ve gotten a lot of werewolf movies over the decades and while some of them have been great, it still feels like we should have more great ones to turn to whenever we’re in the mood to watch some lycanthropic action. Lionsgate will be giving a new werewolf movie called Shadow of the Wolf a Digital and VOD release on March 25th, and while we’ll have to wait and see whether or not this one makes its way onto the list of great werewolf movies, we do know that it has a special ingredient none of the other greats have had: the Highlander himself, Christopher Lambert, is in the cast! You can see Lambert and a preview of some of the werewolf action in the trailer embedded above.

Directed by Alberto Gelpi (La mia seconda volta) from a screenplay by Viviana Panfili and Alessandro Riccardi, Shadow of the Wolf...

"She saw things she wasn't supposed to see." Lionsgate has unveiled an official trailer for the US release of the indie horror film Shadow of the Wolf from Italy. Originally titled L'ombra del lupo in Italian, this is getting a VOD release in March after first premiering in 2018 years ago (and opening already in Italy at the end of 2020). Christopher Lambert and Maria Grazia Cucinotta star in a chilling tale of horror. When Nico returns from overseas to say farewell to his ailing mother in Italy, he discovers something monstrous is happening in the small town he once called home. As the list of grizzly murder victims begins to grow and the authorities fear the killer is a beast unlike anything that they have ever seen (you mean - a werewolf?), Nico senses a savage transformation within himself and uncovers the terrifying secret his family could never reveal. Another werewolf spin?...

Some secrets can unleash a beast.

If you’re hungry for more werewolf thrills after Wolf Man, sink your teeth into Shadow of the Wolf on Digital and VOD on March 25 from Lionsgate.

Highlander star Christopher Lambert and The World Is Not Enough Bond girl Maria Grazia Cucinotta appear in the film with Raniero Monaco Di Lapio, Marianna Di Martino, Elisabetta De Vito, Fabrizio Vona, and Massimiliano Vado.

Were you as pleased as we were that the judges saved the Mantis on the April 5 episode of “The Masked Singer”? We liked this fellow from the moment he strode on stage and blew the roof off the joint with his rollicking rendition of “Old Time Rock and Roll” by Bob Seger.

We were disappointed when he lost the Battle Royale to Dandelion after they duelled on the ditty “(I’ve Got A) Golden Ticket” from “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.” But then we were delighted when Robin Thicke rang the Ding Dong Keep It On bell and kept him in the competiton.

We’ve rewatched both of the performances by the Mantis as well as his clues package. Forget those guesses by the judges that Dandelion is Kevin Bacon, Dennis Quaid,Keanu Reeves or Bruce Springsteen. We are convinced we’ve cracked the code and know the name...

“I am a person rarely impressed by actors… but in the case of Mifune I was completely overwhelmed. The ordinary Japanese actor might need ten feet of film to get across an impression. Toshirō Mifune needed only three feet,” said Akira Kurosawa.

One of the greatest talents in cinema history, Toshirō Mifune left behind a staggering body of work amassing over 150 starring roles. Born on April 1, 1920, a retrospective was planned for 2020 timed to his centennial and now, after a delay due to the pandemic, it will kick off next week at NYC’s Film Forum. Featuring 35mm rarities and rediscoveries imported from the libraries of The Japan Foundation and The National Film Archive of Japan, the series will run for a whopping four weeks, from February 11 through March 10, and feature 33 films.

Ahead of the retrospective, we’re pleased to exclusively debut the trailer, edited by John Zhao, highlighting what is...

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars and filmmakers and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between.

This is the final selection from our listener-selected series we started earlier this year. Not to play favorites, but this is one of our favorite episodes about a favorite subject: Mr. Toshiro Mifune!

Conor and I are honored to be joined by Moeko Fujii, a NYC-based writer who provided this amazing essay for The Criterion Channel’s “Mifune At 100” Series. Together, we discuss five lesser-known Mifune pictures: Wedding Ring (1950), Hell In The Pacific (1968), Red Sun (1971), The Challenge (1982), and Shadow Of The Wolf (1992).

We dig into Mifune’s start, what makes Mifune one of (if not the) greatest to ever do it, his complicated relationship with legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, and that part of that one...
