Buffalo 8 are proud to release the North American VOD release of Screwdriver, the first full-length feature from writer-director Cairo Smith. AnnaClare Hicks headlines the eerie slow burn as Emily, a trusting woman who ends up in the potentially nefarious clutches of an old friend (Charlie Farrell) and his gracious and accommodating wife (Milly Sanders). Screwdriver is out now on Cable and Digital VOD including Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, Vubiquity, Cox, and Comcast. 

Screwdriver is also available on DVD.

Screwdriver was written and directed by Cairo Smith, in his feature length debut.

Blindsided by divorce, thirty-three-year-old Emily leaves her adopted Nebraska behind, returning...

Cairo Smith’s directorial debut didn’t quite live up to the expectations set by the film’s trailer. I was looking forward to some exciting moments and a well-crafted story, but the final product was miles from what I would consider “good.” I was hoping for at least one moment to make me say, “Wow, that’s impressive!” But unfortunately, Cairo Smith’s film is quite a disappointment in the end.

Screwdriver introduces us to Emily, a newly divorced thirty-three-year-old woman who buys a train ticket to California to seek help from Robert, one of her oldest friends. Robert and his wife, Melissa, welcome Emily with open arms. But, with time, their behavior turned hostile and manipulative. At the start of the movie, we feel that Robert is genuinely trying to help Emily overcome her trauma, but soon, the story turns intense and takes on an ominous vibe. Emily...

Meet Me in the Graveyard is no exception. On first glance, you have a show primarily based with in the vlogging format familiar to lonelygirl fans and critics everywhere--an attractive young woman creating a video blog. A format that immediately sparks interest based on it's familiarity, or perhaps the very nature of voyeurism that comes with surfing the web. I think I probably first fell in love with the girl plus diary format when watching Winona Ryder frantically keep notes about her serial killer boyfriend in Heathers. Like Heathers the tone of Meet Me in the Graveyard is decidedly dark, albeit less comedic. Actress-producer Milly Sanders is our protagonist Viola vlogging and chatting from a mental institution when she stumbles upon Ace who is vlogging from a half way house. It's glorious Gothic love at first site.
