Are horror filmmakers running out of titles? If the generic title of The Luring is anything to go by, I would suggest that they are… and it’s a shame when good films are hidden behind generic titles.

The Luring kicks off with a nice young family viewing a holiday home in Vermont, but of course there was a tragedy at the house, that had little to do with the hammy acting of the estate agent. We then skip forward to our protagonist, who suffers from amnesia around his childhood, and seems to be related to his time in the family holiday home. The two things are connected. We also discover that, for a time,...

I just finished watching It Watches, an independent horror/thriller movie which is coming VOD shortly, and I have got to say it has been a while since a movie completely pulled the rug out from under me like this film did! Honestly, I’ve seen enough movies to think I am always one step ahead of the film I’m watching, and for the most part I am, but I have to say this one outsmarted me. Which makes me very Very happy.

To director Dave Parker (The Hills Run Red) I tip my cap. First of all because I am getting tired of the found footage format. It feels like every horror movie these days has got to have that found footage/CCTV feel to it. However this...

People looking for a spooky getaway from the Comic-Con madness would do well to check out Coldwater at the show. Recently we sat down with director Dave Parker to get the skinny on what fans should expect from the film.

So, are you ready for Comic-Con?

Dp: "Yeah it's kind of a mad dash to get some last minute stuff done before then. Little things here and there."

The Hills Run Red was a much gorier slasher film than Coldwater. Did you want to shift away from that on purpose?

Dp: "It was a conscious choice between me and my partner on the film. We wanted to build more tension and suspense. I feel like that aspect of Hills could have been stronger. We're not completely dry of blood and guts though!"

And what are you showing at the Con?

Dp: "We're going to show the trailer that's online now.

This month saw a snippet from Dave Parker's latest film Coldwater hit the web. Less of a teaser and more of a mini-clip, the preview didn't offer much in the way of filling viewers in on the plot.

We always say it ... the less you know about a movie, the better. The journey of discovery can be the best part of the trip, man. Case in point: a new teaser clip for Dave Parker's (The Hills Run Red) latest film, Coldwater.

Clocking in at just over thirty seconds, the clip teaches us nothing about the film, except that someone is about to really disappoint their grandmother, and if you watch closely... well, you'll see.

The film is being billed as a psychological suspense thriller dealing with one man housesitting, unaware of who or what might be with him.

Coldwater stars Ivan Djurovic, Rick Irwin, Sanny Van Heteren, and James Duval and was written by Parker and Djurovic. The flick will be making its debut at the Big Bear Horro-Fi Film Festival.
