[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Revival Season 1 finale “Rend the Veil.”] Revival, in its first season finale, does as executive producer Aaron B. Koontz promised us it would: It gives us answers. The cause of Revival Day and Em’s (Romy Weltman) death are linked: Aaron (Gianpaolo Venuta) and Lester (Peter Millard) killed her, and that was the detonator to blow the door of immortality off. Dana (Melanie Scrofano) comes to her sister’s aid once she’s in Lester’s clutches, but it’s Em who kills him, tearing out his heart with her hand. But then Em dies … or so we think. A time jump of 35 days reveals that Aaron’s wife, Nithiya (Gia Sandhu), who’s been undergoing treatments for cancer, went out of her way to ensure she was Em’s therapist — and is with her in a cabin somewhere! Below, executive producers Luke Boyce and Aaron B. Koontz break down...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Revival Season 1 Episode 4 “Run Along Little Lamb.”] Up until the final moments of the Thursday, July 3, episode of Revival, besides what caused the Revival Event (anyone who died within a two-week period came back to life), the big mystery was who killed Em (Romy Weltman), resulting in her being a Reviver. Now, another Cypress is at the middle of at least an attempted murder mystery. At the end of the episode, Em confronts her professor, Aaron (Gianpaolo Venuta), with whom she’d been having an affair before her death. He didn’t mean to hurt her, he insists and she begins strangling him. But then he tells her he didn’t kill her, though he did take her from the bridge that night. She was special, he explains … only to then be shot. Dana (Melanie Scrofano) then runs over to her sister, only to be shot as well. Em uses...

If you love thrilling mysteries, spooky settings, and compelling characters, then Syfy’s new series Revival is perfect for you. Co-created by Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce, the Syfy series is based on the Image Comics comic book series of the same name by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton.

Revival is set in a rural Wisconsin town as a mysterious event known as the “Revival Day” takes place. The Revival Day sees the recently dead mysteriously coming back to life with no memories of how they died. It follows the local police officer Dana Cypress as she investigates a murder, which makes her suspicious of everyone from the living to those who have just come back to life.

Revival consists of ten episodes in total.

Revival, Syfy’s new horror-noir-dramedy thing, is both very much like a lot of shows we’ve seen recently and not.

It is yet another 2025 series about, to paraphrase my colleague’s summary of The Better Sister, two estranged sisters simultaneously bonded and torn apart by trauma — only in this case, the circumstances of their reunion involve the dead suddenly coming back to life. Which might suggest zombie action à la The Last of Us, except these resurrected have no evident interest in eating anyone’s brains, just in returning to their old lives.

One of said sisters (Melanie Scrofano’s Dana) is a police detective with a personal investment in the case of a murdered young woman; I’m sure you can fill in your own point of comparison from any number of noir-laced shows here.

None of these tropes is getting radically reinvented here, so much as they...

Comic book adaptations of indie comics can hit the ground running if the tone of a comic has been fully explored. However, the adaptation process still requires a steady hand, and Syfy’s latest series, Revival, has that from the jump. Co-created by Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce, the adaptation of Tim Seeley and Mike Norton’s comic builds from an interesting foundation. Grounding the story from the point of view of a family, the undead horror-comedy is one of the best shows in years from Syfy. With plenty of heart and fun characters, Revival deserves to be a big hit for the genre network.

Revival Season 1 Plot

The small-town residents of Wausau, Wisconsin, find themselves under lockdown when a strange event occurs. On “Revival Day,” those who died in the last few weeks suddenly return to life. With the town and government worried about its implications for the country,...

Accused Season 1 Description:

Accused is a collection of 15 intense, topical, and exquisitely human stories of crime and punishment. Each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller exploring a different crime, in a different city, with an entirely original cast.

With writer/director Declan O’Brien’s Joy Ride 3: Road Kill releasing to DVD and Blu-ray this Tuesday, June 17th, here’s additional coverage stemming from our set visit last summer to the same in Winnipeg, Canada.

Written and directed by O'Brien, whose previous horror entries include the Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment features Wrong Turn 3, Wrong Turn 4 and Wrong Turn 5 (as well as Syfy's Sharktopus), Joy Ride 3: Road Kill (review) originated with the 2001 Paul Walker-starring, J.J. Abrams-co-scripted film Joy Ride.

Produced by Kim Todd, this installment (which melds the worlds of tuner car racing and road-trip horror) stars Ken Kirzinger (Freddy vs. Jason) as the project's villainous truck driver 'Rusty Nail.’

Joining him are Kirsten Prout (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) as tuner-car girl ‘Jewel McCaul,’ Jesse Hutch (Freddy vs. Jason) as racer ‘Jordan Wells,’ Benjamin Hollingsworth (of the television series “Cult”) as mechanic ‘Mickey Cole,...

Rusty Nail is back on the road again looking to punish injustice at every turn - and this time it's with a group of hothead twenty-somethings on their way to the Road Rally 1000. As they drive through a desolate shortcut on the way to the race, an encounter with Rusty turns sour, and soon he is tracking, teasing, and torturing them until the end of the road. We have an exclusive look at Joy Ride 3: Road Kill with four never-before-seen photos. If you have a strong enough stomach, take a look at our exclusive photo gallery below.

Writer/director Declan O'Brien's 'Joy Ride 3: Road Kill' is now available on VOD and will shortly be arriving on both DVD and Blu-ray. And Shock Till Your Drop have managed to score a trio of new and exclusive stills from the movie which sees the murderous trucker Rusty Nail back on the road and doing what he does best...knocking off unsupecting young drivers. I can't imagine when it lands here in the UK it'll have the same title as the 'Joy Ride' franchise itself is already known here as 'Roadkill', so deal with that marketing pros. The threequel stars Kirsten Prout, Dean Armstrong, Ben Hollingsworth, Jesse Hutch, Gianpaolo Venuta, Leela Savasta, Sara Mitich, J. Adam Brown and Jake Manley. Head below for the new images....

As fans of The Firm may have noticed, the cancelled legal drama was bumped from the schedule once again last Saturday night. As a result, NBC has adjusted their schedule and delayed the final four episodes by one week each.

If you watch the show via Hulu, you may have already seen the 19th episode. A note on the streaming website says, "Due to a programming error, Chapter 19 went up earlier than intended. We apologize for the error - it will become available again this weekend."

You can see the revised airdates below, as well as brief episode descriptions:

"Chapter Nineteen"

06/23/2012 (10:00Pm - 11:00Pm) (Saturday) : A Killer New Case - Joey Morolto (guest star Gianpaolo Venuta, "Being Human") gives Mitch (Josh Lucas) an offer he can't refuse -- if Mitch defends his best friend from a murder...

It’s funny; given the premise of “The Words”, I thought this would be a thriller along the lines of, say, a Stephen King novel. But turns out, it’s mostly a drama/romantic movie sans anything really dangerous going on. Go figure. Anyways, put down your books and take a gander at the first trailer for Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal’s “The Words”. Young writer Rory Jansen finally achieves long sought after literary success after publishing the next great American novel. There’s only one catch – he didn’t write it. As the past comes back to haunt him and his literary star continues to rise, Jansen is forced to confront the steep price that must be paid for stealing another man’s work, and for placing ambition and success above life’s most fundamental three words. Starring Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Ben Barnes, Jeremy Irons,...

Episode 208 “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”

After last week’s surprise ending where Aidan (Sam Witwer) blasted a hole in Connor’s (Jon Cor) heart, we expected him to lay low and deal with the aftermath, but he managed to top that feat this week. Also Josh (Sam Huntington) gets an intervention and Sally (Meaghan Rath) considers her current status of unemployment in what was another fine week of Being Human.

Sally

Last week’s haunting of Sally was a tease because we actually thought Danny (Gianpaolo Venuta) was back this season but thankfully (?) he was shredded by the Grim Reaper (Dusan Dukic), but what was unsettling heading into “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” was knowing that Sally’s time was coming. The Reaper had to fill his quota, and maintain the balance in the afterlife. What would be her way out? Become the grim reaper...

Worst. Manicurist. Ever.

Being Human Air Date: 2/27/2012 “The Ties That Blind”

Aidan’s running through the woods and bumps into fellow vampire Atlee: four wolves are after him. They run away faster. Cut to the morning with Nora and Josh waking up in the same woods, naked and caked in blood and dirt, making a convincing case for cameos in The Hangover 3. And bam, that’s how you start an episode.

A long time coming, but the rest of the vampire community is finally sniffing around Hegeman’s (Mother’s second in command) disappearance and murder. Viewers know Nora killed Hegeman during her first turn in the season premiere, and Mother’s lackey Atlee (Kyle Gatehouse) comes to Aidan at the hospital to imply that not only was Aidan involved but promises consequences should no progress be made in their pursuit of vengeance.

Last week, disregarding Aidan’s advice, Josh...

Check out four new images from directors Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal’s dramatic thriller “The Words”. The film has no release date yet, but look for it sometime in 2012. Given the nice cast, I think it should get some attention (Cooper is still a big name, right?), but you’re probably not looking at a wide release, though I suppose that’s entirely possible. Klugman is an actor turned director, and “The Words” is his feature film debut, while his co-director Sternthal has a writing credit on “Tron: Legacy”. When an aspiring writer claims another man’s long lost work as his own, the price he must pay is more than he could have ever imagined. The cast includes Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Ben Barnes, Jeremy Irons, Dennis Quaid, John Hannah, J.K. Simmons, Michael McKean, Zeljko Ivanek, Ron Rifkin, Liz Stauber, Gianpaolo Venuta, and Nora Arnezeder...

You know a show’s good when it’s difficult to concentrate about the details from older episodes because you’re still trying to figure out how the latest changes everything. That’s where I’m at each week reviewing Being Human; it’s that good.

“I See Your True Colors and That’s Why I Hate You” has Josh (Sam Hunitington) taking Emily (Allison Louder) back home to be safe away from Marcus (Vinccent LeClerc) and other vampires, per Aidan’s (Sam Witwer) orders. Emily’s attack was a direct message towards Josh and Aidan was not going to have it. In the meantime, Sally (Meaghan Rath) tries to get at Danny (Gianpaolo Venuta) and warn Bridgit (Angela Galuppo) that she’s dating a murderer.

“There’s a reason monster’s hide under the bed. We’re more scared of you than you are of us. That look on your face,...

“It Takes Two to Make a Thing Go Wrong” refers to everyone pairing up; Aidan (Sam Witwer) and Josh (Sam Huntington) get their groove on. Meanwhile, Sally (Meaghan Rath) finds a new girlfriend while Josh’s sister, Emily loses hers. It was another night where the mysteries kept moving, the funny lines were flowing, and the bad blood was burning. Let’s see what stood out for our new favorite roommates.

Sally

“I’m sorry, am I supposed to be over the whole wrongly death thing by now?”

Befriending a poltergeist may be the beginning of a treacherous road for Sally. Hopefully, Lindsey (Kaniehtiio Horn) may be able to teach her some cool stuff, like making Danny (Gianpaolo Venuta) imagine he has syphilis or something equally terrible. There’s something about these people who help out our three protagonists though, they seem cool at first but wear their welcome out fast.

What truly occurred as compared to what one thinks happened doesn’t always match up. In last night’s episode of Being Human viewers learned plenty about Sally (Meaghan Rath and Josh (Sam Huntington), who both find out the truth about what or who made them a ghost and a werewolf. Meanwhile Aidan (Sam Witwer) staves off another plan by Bishop (Mark Pellegrino) to meddle in his attempt at normalcy. It was easily the best all-around episode of the season so far.

Sally

Danny (Gianpaolo Venuta) quickly went from the grieving widower to the biggest scumbag on the planet. The fact he hasn’t visited her grave but has pictures of Bridget (Angela Galuppo) all over his apartment were clues that he never truly loved Sally. Which is why it’s become quickly apparent what Sally must do and that’s to reach out to Bridget and warn her of the monster she’s dating.

In the third episode of Syfy’s Being Human, we learned lots of new rules about Aidan (Sam Witwer), Josh (Sam Huntington), and Sally (Meaghan Rath). The boys got Sally a helpful, but a little creepy ghost mentor, Tony DePaulo (Dan Jeannotte) to enlighten her on what she can and can’t do. Aidan dealt with someone from his past, and Josh was busy with being part of a neighborhood watch. Let’s take a look at each of them and what that could mean down the road.

Sally

Ghosts are not bound to one vessel

As Tony instructed Sally, “Doors, floors, they don’t matter; we’re energy.” Sally can teleport by concentrating on where she wants to go and now she can help out both Aidan and Josh as long as she knows where she’s going to. So she probably still couldn’t have helped Josh when...

One of the more clever discoveries this new year is Syfy’s supernatural drama-comedy, Being Human. It’s best described as part Buffy the Vampire Slayer, minus the slaying; True Blood, minus the bayou; a shot of Grey’s Anatomy, minus the melodrama; Ghost minus Oda Mae Brown and Three’s Company (you read right) minus… well, Larry.

The simple premise is this: a nurse Aidan (played by Sam Witwer, Smallville and Battlestar Galactica) and orderly Josh (Sam Huntington, Superman Returns) are also a vampire and a werewolf respectively. They move into a house in Boston that’s inhabited by a ghost named Sally (Meaghan Rath, 15/Love). Sally was engaged to marry Aidan and Josh’s landlord, Danny (Gianpaolo Venuta) before she died tragically falling down the stairwell, and now she is homebound. Now the three of them are just trying to live a “normal” life as roommates without drawing attention to their supernatural lives.

Today, it was announced at Canada's Hockey Hall of Fame that the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival's opening film will be none other than the Canadian film Score: A Hockey Musical. Moreover, this film by director Michael McGowan (One Week) will hit Canada's theatres on October 2.

In this film, Olivia Newton-John (Grease) and songwriter Marc Jordan both play the parents of a teenager (Noah Reid). This kid's mom home-schools him, feeds him with organic foods, takes him to the art gallery and becomes dismayed when he reveals a love for Canada's most popular sport (i.e. hockey) even though he has never played in an organized league. Moreover, with his talent, this kid will get out of obscurity to become a hockey celebrity overnight.

The film also stars singer Nelly Furtado, as a hockey fanatic, Stephen McHattie, Dru Viergever, Hawksley Workman, Dave Bidini, John Pyper-Ferguson, Wesley Morgan, George Stroumboulopoulos, Brandon Firla,...
