Stars: Josh Stewart, August Maturo, Judah Lewis, Charlene Amoia, Luke Benward, Craig Stark, P.L. Brown | Written by Brady Morell, Brian Price | Directed by Feras Alfuqaha

Steven Thomas is an aspiring writer who volunteers at Lifeline, a suicide prevention crisis centre. First-time feature director Feras Alfuqaha and writers Brady Morell and Brian Price allow us to sit in with Thomas during his first few calls, giving us a glimpse into his demeanour and capabilities.

He’s calm, methodical, and competent, making it clear that while this might be new territory for him, he has the empathy and composure needed for the job. Everything seems routine until he receives a call from a young man who not only claims he is about to kill himself but also shares his name. At first, Steven assumes it’s his son, Jeff, pulling an elaborate and deeply inappropriate prank. But as the conversation unfolds, the...

Josh Stewart (The Collector) plays a suicide hotline operator who receives a call from someone claiming to be him in Lifeline.

The thriller will be released in select theaters and on Digital on February 21 from Dark Sky Films.

Judah Lewis (The Babysitter) co-stars alongside Craig Stark (The Hateful Eight), Charlene Amoia (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It), Luke Benward (Dumplin’), August Maturo (The Nun), and Brecken Merrill (“Yellowstone”).

A late-night suicide hotline operator receives a disturbing call from someone claiming to be him, knowing personal details only he would know. The caller threatens to end his life within the hour, forcing the operator into a tense, emotional race against time. As the clock ticks down, he must confront his deepest fears and uncover the truth before it’s too late to save “himself.”

Feras Alfuqaha makes his directorial debut from a script by Brady Morell and Brian Price.

It’s time for a new episode of the Real Slashers video series, and with this one we’re taking another look at one of my personal favorites, director Scott Spiegel’s 1989 film Intruder (pick up a copy of the unrated Blu-ray Here). I previously covered this movie with an episode of Best Horror Movie You Never Saw and Emilie Black wrote about it for Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie. Now it’s Tyler Nichols’ turn to dig into it, and you can find out what he had to say about Intruder by watching the video embedded above.

Scripted by Spiegel (who wrote Evil Dead II with Sam Raimi) from a story he crafted with producer Lawrence Bender, Intruder has the following synopsis: It’s 10 pm and the employees of Michigan’s Walnut Lake Supermarket are in for a really bad night. The place is shutting its doors for good,...

End Times, the post-apocalyptic zombie film starring horror icon Jamie Bernadette and Craig Stark is out now in limited theaters and on VOD. Jim Towns, writes and directs and The Asylum distributes the feature.

End Times follows a pair of mismatched travelers, Claire and Freddie (Bernadette and Stark), as they try to escape a deadly pandemic that has turned Los Angeles into a zombie-infested wasteland. Claire is a privileged young suburbanite ill-equipped to survive in this hostile new landscape, until she meets Freddie, a retired soldier who lost his daughter to the virus. As they travel together to reach the perimeter, Freddie teaches Claire the skills that will enable Claire to survive, and the uneasy partnership between the two grows into something more akin to a father/daughter relationship. Before they can reach safety, the two will have to escape brutal gangs, cannibals, cults, and the undead.

End Times, the latest from The Asylum, will be receiving a VOD and limited theatrical release this Friday, July 14th, and today we’ve gotten our hands on the trailer for the film. Check it out in the embed above!

Father John Misty has enlisted his wife — filmmaker and photographer Emma Elizabeth Tillman — to direct his new video for “Buddy’s Rendezvous.”

The clip for Josh Tillman’s Chloë and the Next 20th Century track was shot in 16mm, and features Starcrawler’s Arrow DeWild and Craig Stark, who recently appeared in Licorice Pizza. Stark’s character is fresh out of jail, plagued by memories of his estranged daughter (DeWild).

After a violent clash with Paul, she flees through the neighboring woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway, soon discovering the year is actually 1973. Rescued on the roadside by a disillusioned political activist named Frank (Common), Alice quickly comprehends the lies that have kept her in bondage and the promise of Black liberation. Inspired by true accounts, Alice is a modern empowerment fable tracing Alice’s journey through...

The new fantasy/thriller Tyger Tyger, starring Dylan Sprouse, which Gravitas Ventures is releasing in select theaters, drive-ins, digital/VOD on February 26, 2021. Here’s the trailer:

Tyger Tyger is a stylized indie drama also with Eden Brolin (daughter of Josh Brolin), and a bunch of talented young actors

Kerry Mondragon’s fantasy-thriller Tyger Tyger follows a woman named Blake (Sam Quartin), who while waiting for her test results during a pandemic, robs a pharmacy for life-saving medication, ditches her insolent boyfriend (Max Madsen), and makes a deal with a drug addict named Luke (Dylan Sprouse), to help distribute the stolen medication in the fringe lands. During the life-or-death adventure, they are chased through the labyrinth of the lawless city by its self-appointed gatekeepers Tammie (Eden Brolin) and Uncle Joe (Craig Stark). Dylan was also recently just cast in (and is now shooting) Mindy Kaling’s HBO Max Comedy ‘The Sex...

"I will find a way, I will figure it out, I will help you - I promise!" Gravitas has released the official trailer for the indie drama Tyger Tyger, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Kerry Mondragon. This is described as a "pandemic fantasy-thriller" and/or "stylized indie drama". A selfless woman and her mute friend kidnap a drug addict after robbing a pharmacy then hit the road to distribute the "life saving" medication, but find themselves trapped in the fringe lands of a law-less psychedelic city in a life-or-death adventure. Sounds crazy! Love the poster art, but that's about it. Tyger Tyger stars Dylan Sprouse, Sam Quartin, Eden Brolin, Craig Stark, Max Madsen, and Barbara Palvin. This looks rather trippy and vibrant, not necessarily in a good way, but maybe there's something interesting going on here. Have a look. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Kerry Mondragon's Tyger Tyger,...

As it segues into “Bartender,” she poses with friends that include Emma Elizabeth Tillman (photographer and wife of Father John Misty’s Josh Tillman), Alexandria Kaye, Craig Stark and Ash Rodriguez.

A director looking for his big break finds himself making a real-life nightmare when he's cornered into filming an actual murder in the new movie Greenlight.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The ninth film by Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds writer-director Quentin Tarantino will be upon us this July starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt (to name a slight few). The trailer is all set to hit these here internets sometime this coming week and to prepare all of us for what is sure to be a killer two and a half minutes, today we have the film's poster to share with you guys.

The poster, which you can check out below, features Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt looking full Starsky and Hutch standing in front of the Hollywood sign in the late 60's looking just like the definition of cool.

The film has just about the most killer cast of our time with DiCaprio and Pitt leading the charge.

The Vanguard Award is a group honor for a film’s cast and director in recognition of their collective work on an exceptional film project. Actors Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali as well as director Peter Farrelly are expected to attend.

“Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali are an on-camera dream team in the crowd-pleasing film ‘Green Book,’ inspired by a true friendship, about a New York City bouncer hired to drive and protect pianist Dr. Don Shirley on a concert tour in the Deep South,” said festival chairman Harold Matzner.

Quentin Tarantino is continuing to flesh out the cast of his latest movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. We recently got our first look at Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio together in costume as they were gearing up for production. Now, as things ramp up, the movie has added ten new cast members to help fully flesh out the massive ensemble. It sounds like most of these new additions will be playing relatively minor roles, though, most of their specific parts have not yet been disclosed.

The new cast members included Spencer Garrett, Martin Kove, James Remar, Brenda Vaccaro, Nichole Galicia, Mike Moh, Craig Stark, Marco Rodriguez, Ramon Franco and Raul Cardona. Garrett's character is the only one for which any specific details were revealed. He's set to play a TV personality and interviewer for the elite in Hollywood. Given what we already know about the plot, that seems to fit in nicely.

With Academy Award nominee Margot Robbie officially on board – who confirmed her involvement during a recent media junket – Quentin Tarantino has now turned his attention to filling out the remainder of the cast for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and boy, has he ever been keeping busy.

Last month, the two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker recruited Golden Globe winner Damian Lewis (Homeland), Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Dakota Fanning (War of the Worlds), before adding Best Actor winner Al Pacino a day later. Suffice it to say, Tarantino has undoubtedly lined-up an all-star cast for his ninth feature.

Long-serving collaborators Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, and Michael Madsen (Kill Bill) also joined the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and of course, Robbie, in June. And although it seemed like Tarantino had filled out the rest of his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ensemble, today brought word of even more talent joining the ranks.

Quentin Tarantino’s ensemble cast for the late ’60s-set Once Upon a Time in Hollywood continues to grow, with Deadline reporting that the following actors have come aboard: Spencer Garrett, Martin Kove, James Remar, Brenda Vaccaro, Nichole Galicia, Mike Moh, Craig Stark, Marco Rodriguez, Ramon Franco and Raul Cardona. The cast also includes Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio, Burt […]...

Exclusive: Quentin Tarantino has rounded out his cast of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with Spencer Garrett, Martin Kove, James Remar, Brenda Vaccaro, Nichole Galicia, Mike Moh, Craig Stark, Marco Rodriguez, Ramon Franco and Raul Cardona.

They play a variety of characters alongside stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell, Timothy Olyphant, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning, Scoot McNairy and Al Pacino.

Garrett, best known for Syfy’s The Magicians and HBO’s Insecure, plays Allen Kincade, TV personality/interviewer to Hollywood’s elite.

Once Upon a Time takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippie Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), former star of a Western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor: Sharon Tate...

As promised, I’m back writing again about filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s eighth cinematic outing this week. Whenever a new movie of his opens, it’s really an event, so this is no exception. Of late, Tarantino has been getting the attention of the Academy, so this is definitely a high profile release. Buzz had been steadily building for months now, with folks especially excited for the 70mm roadshow version being unveiled in select theaters. I’ve seen and dug the flick a great deal, so it’s a pleasure to be able to speak more about how good this film is. I praised Bruce Dern’s work in it a few days ago, but now I’m gushing over the whole thing, as well as speculating about its Oscar prospects. Once again, this is Tarantino’s eight film, centering on a group of less than savory characters convening on a single location,...

On behalf of The Weinstein Company, we are excited to share a new&#160featurette on Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), from their highly anticipated film,&#160The Hateful Eight. Director Quentin Tarantino continues his long relationship with the actor, which started in 1994, when the pair first came together for Pulp Fiction. Samuel L. Jackson and Quentin Tarantino have gone onto make six films together. And this may be their most ambitious work to date.

Set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as "The Hangman," will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter,...

Quentin Tarantino star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Also in the photo: Demián Bichir, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth and other 'The Hateful Eight' cast members. Quentin Tarantino gets star on Hollywood Walk Fame: No police protests or anti-Tarantino rally Quentin Tarantino, who has been making movies for nearly a quarter of a century, has finally gotten his own personal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A prime location, too: it can be photographed and/or stepped on right in front of the Chinese Theatre. Tarantino's star-unveiling ceremony took place on Monday, Dec. 21, '15, with several cast members of his latest movie, The Hateful Eight, in attendance. Now, why is this “news”? Back in October, the Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Django Unchained filmmaker dared to attend an anti-police brutality rally in New York City – days after a local police officer had been killed while pursuing a suspected thief.

There are many, many things to like about Quentin Tarantino’s new film The Hateful Eight. A great deal of them are being talked about all throughout the industry by various writers, but one aspect of Tarantino’s eighth outing is being woefully neglected. What is that? Well, the supporting turn by Bruce Dern, of course. Is it the flashiest in the movie? No, but that’s not the point. Dern is one of the great character actors of the last half century, and seeing him really get to dive into a role like this and work with Tarantino is something special. In a flick that’s rarely understated, they manage something fairly subtle, so I figured that was worth appreciating a bit today. The film opens this week, so it makes perfect sense. For those unaware, this is, ironically enough, Tarantino film number eight, and centers around a group...

Quentin Tarantino‘s “Hateful Eight” premiere on Monday night was a surprisingly peaceful affair. Concerns about a police protest in response to the director’s recent controversial comments about cops were unfounded, as the event at the ArcLight Cinemas Cinerama Dome in Hollywood went off without a hitch. Instead of battling a boycott, Tarantino hammed it up for the cameras on the red carpet with fellow filmmaker and “Inglourious Basterds” actor Eli Roth.

Over the weekend, a special screening of The Hateful Eight was held at the Director's Guild of America in Los Angeles, which was followed by a Q&A with several of the cast members. Today we not only have the full 30-minute Q&A session, but The Weinstein Company has also provided us with a new Ensemble featurette from director Quentin Tarantino's Western. Ironically, Quentin Tarantino himself isn't present at the DGA Q&A, but cast members Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth and Bruce Dern shed new light on the production.

In The Hateful Eight, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as "The Hangman,...

On Christmas Day, director Quentin Tarantino will roll out his eighth feature film, The Hateful Eight, in a limited "roadshow" presentation in 70mm. Fans will have two weeks to see this revenge Western in 70mm, before it debuts nationwide with digital projection on January 8. Fandango has released a seven-minute featurette that explains the importance of this 70mm presentation, and offers some history on the roadshow format, which hasn't been used for years.

One advantage of seeing the 70 mm roadshow is fans will get a longer cut of the movie than they'd see in the nationwide release. Quentin Tarantino revealed last month that the 70mm version will include six minutes of extra footage, a trademark of classic roadshow presentations such as Gone With the Wind, Ben-Hur and many more. We also hear from Samuel L. Jackson, who explains that the 70mm presentation gives viewers an image that is twice as large as a traditional movie.

The first Hateful Eight TV spot has arrived courtesy of EW, and it pulls back a bit of the mystery surrounding the plot. Someone has a deadly secret. And Samuel L. Jackson aims to find out who that is. A White Hell is unleashed in this eighth film from maestro Quentin Tarantino. This latest footage is set to debut during this Sunday's The Walking Dead. But you can see it first right here, right now!

Many movie fans are looking forward to December because of Star Wars: The Force Awakens hitting theaters. There is another cross-section of fandom that is awaiting the holiday season for another reason, the release of Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight. Earlier today, a new poster was released from this revenge Western, and now we have even more details about the film's soundtrack. Film Music Reporter is reporting that Decca Records is releasing the soundtrack on December 18, with 28 tracks that includes music from composer Ennio Morricone and songs from The White Stripes, Roy Orbison and David Hess.

The soundtrack will include David Hess' Now You're All Alone from The Last House on the Left soundtrack, The White Stripes song Apple Blossom and Roy Orbison's There Won't Be Many Coming Home, which is from the 1967 movie The Fastest Guitar Alive, where the singer made his first and only film appearance.

The Weinstein Company has just released a&#160brand new poster&#160for their highly anticipated film,&#160The Hateful Eight , written and directed by Quentin Tarantino! And in true Tarantino form, this latest theatrical one-sheet pays homage to the 70s thrillers and disaster films that the director loves. The top half of the poster shows us a scene from the climactic ending, with Samuel L. Jackson walking into a gun fight, weapons drawn. While the bottom half shows us images of each actor in this all-star cast. This was the typical style utilized in the 70s for any epic that held multiple marquee names. It's a fun throwback that everyone, including the Police, might enjoy!

The third trailer for The Hateful Eight arrives amidst much controversy, following anti-police statements made by Quentin Tarantino, which resulted in a boycott against the director, his movies, and the upcoming release of his latest Western. This new full-length sneak peek offers every incentive as to why you should still seek out his thrilling Old West tale, in select theaters this Christmas. It also teases the growing rivalry between characters played by Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell as they are locked up with strangers during a freezing blizzard.

The principal cast of Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming The Hateful Eight — Zoe Bell, Demian Bichir, Bruce Dern, Walton Goggins, Dana Gourrier, Lee Horsley, Samuel L.

After debuting seven character posters for The Hateful Eight over the past few weeks, The Weinstein Company has rounded out the full collection. The studio debuted the one-sheet for Samuel L. Jackson's Major Marquis Warren, a.k.a. The Bounty Hunter earlier today. It remains to be seen if the studio will roll out one-sheets for the slew of supporting characters between now and the December 25 release, but, for now, at least we can see all of main The Hateful Eight posters right here.

It's been quite a week already for fans of Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, with a new poster featuring Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh arriving on Monday, and the first trailer debuting today. The one-sheet was believed to be the first in a series, and, sure enough, today we have two more posters, courtesy of Yahoo! Movies and IMDb. The posters feature Walton Goggins as Sheriff Chris Mannix and Demi&#225n Bichir as Bob.

Don't be surprised if we see posters featuring the last remaining four of The Hateful Eight, Samuel L. Jackson's Marquis Warren, Tim Roth's Oswaldo Mobray, Michael Madsen's Joe Gage and Bruce Dern's Sanford Smithers. Given the amount of profanity and violence one normally sees in a Quentin Tarantino film, don't be surprised if a red band trailer surfaces sometime in the near future. Until then, we'll just have to wait...

The first full-length trailer for The Hateful Eight has arrived! And it promises a blood-soaked Western that will surely rival Quentin Tarantino's last movie Django Unchained. Like that film, it takes place in the 1800s and revolves around a very upset bounty hunter. The Weinstein Company is set to release The Hateful Eight in select theaters Christmas Day of this year, with an exclusive two-week roadshow opening in 70mm. Following the two-week engagement, the film will open with a digital theatrical release nationwide on January 8, 2016, while continuing to be shown in 70mm as well.

Director Quentin Tarantino and his The Hateful Eight cast invaded Comic-Con last month to show off new footage from his revenge Western, set to hit theaters on Christmas Day. While we wait for that footage to be released to the general public, Entertainment Weekly has debuted a new poster, featuring one-fourth of The Hateful Eight. Stars Kurt Russell (John Ruth) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Daisy Domergue) are featured on this poster, which is likely the first in a series of posters that will feature the eight main characters.

Quentin Tarantino promises a "glorious" 70mm experience for his Civil War-era western. Here we get a sneak peek at his ambition in these snow-covered set photos of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Demian Bechir and Walton Goggins, who he calls "The Tarantino superstars,." Also starring Channing Tatum, James Parks, Dana Gourrier, Keith Jefferson, Lee Horsley, Craig Stark, Belinda Owino and Gene Jones, the film just left Colorado to finish shooting in La, where Tarantino continues to run his 35mm haven at the New Beverly.

The temperature may be rising, but the latest images from Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" maybe leave you feeling a bit chilly. Yesterday we got the first official look, and now some new images from the pages of EW have landed online to give another glimpse at what's coming to cinemas this fall, in all of its 70mm glory.

Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Channing Tatum, Zoe Bell, James Parks, Dana Gourrier, Keith Jefferson, Lee Horsley, Craig Stark, Belinda Owino and Gene Jones all make up the players in this movie about eight rogues who get snowbound in a frontier way station where things get heated, in this story set not long after the Civil War. And we can't wait to see the results. "The Hateful Eight" arrives later this year via The Weinstein Company. Check out the pics below.
