Art imitates life in the uplifting film Festival of Trees. Kate Miner stars as a young designer named Jacqueline who dreams of being a success in holiday decor. The way to do that is to make a big impression by entering the Festival of Trees competition. Her journey to design the perfect tree takes unexpected turns. The experience ultimately gives her a deeper, more meaningful lesson about what Christmas is truly about.

To mark the release of Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist on 27th March, we’ve been given Blu-ray copies to give away to 2 winners.

The world is in a state of devastation. Millions of people have suddenly vanished across the globe and humanity is heading for unprecedented and unrelenting chaos. Uncompromising evil is unleashed, and the world is plunged into a state of emergency. With financial markets collapsing, governments being toppled and a global lockdown in place… those left behind are forced to choose a side. The stakes for survival have never been higher… could they be facing the Rise of The Antichrist?

When a supposed expert claims that a second wave of devastation is imminent… news anchor Cameron ‘Buck’ Williams (Greg Perrow) makes it his mission to disprove her theory. Going against his boss Steve Plank (Corbin Bernsen) and the network, Buck teams up with hacker Dirk Burton (Stafford Perry) and together,...

If you see just one thriller this year in which a climactic car chase is followed by the director-star breaking character to deliver a five-minute sermon straight into the camera — followed by three more minutes of Mike Huckabee leading viewers in prayer to accept Jesus into their hearts, before the end credits roll — then make it “Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist,” the latest in a series of apocalyptic films based on the bestselling Christian book series.

Although “Rise” is the sixth feature derived from dozens of rapture-iffic novels and spinoff novellas published under the “Left Behind” banner in the mid-’90s through mid-2000s, it’s the first in the film series to have Kevin Sorbo as a leading man as well as director. Where past installments were relatively coy about their evangelistic purpose, Sorbo opts to add a literal come-to-Jesus epilogue. You may recall that the last actor...

U.K.-based sales firm 101 Films Intl., part of Amcomri Entertainment, has secured worldwide distribution rights to apocalyptic thriller “Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist,” the recently completed sequel to 2014’s “Left Behind,” which featured Nicolas Cage. The movie is available for the first time at the Cannes Film Market this week.

In “Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist,” contemporary events are shown as setting the stage for the return of Christ and the coming Apocalypse. The film follows the original characters and storylines of the best-selling books, which were written in the mid-nineties and have sold more than 80 million copies in multiple languages, but have been updated.

“Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist” is directed by and stars Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”), one of the most recognized names in the multibillion-dollar faith-based film industry; Neal McDonough (“Captain America: The First Avenger”); Corbin Bernsen (“LA Law”); and Bailey Chase...

Neal McDonough, Corbin Bernsen and Bailey Chase have joined Kevin Sorbo in apocalyptic thriller “Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist.”

The movie is the latest instalment in the Bible prophecy-themed “Left Behind” film and book series (authored by the late Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins), and it is the sequel to 2014’s “Left Behind,” which featured Nicolas Cage. “Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist” follows the original characters and storylines of the books, but its fictional world, originally conceived in the mid-nineties, has been updated to reflect today’s world.

“Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist” is directed by and stars Sorbo, one of the leading figures in the multibillion-dollar faith-based film industry.

The movie also stars Greg Perrow and Sarah Fisher.

“Left Behind” follows a group of those left behind after millions of people suddenly vanish into thin air. The prophesied Great Tribulation has begun, and as Satan’s counterfeit messiah,...

For his new short film, writer/director Andrew Hamer adapts the chilling George G. Toudouze short story "Three Skeleton Key," which uses a secluded lighthouse as a backdrop for eerie scares. With the proof-of-concept project now making the rounds on the festival circuit, we caught up with Hamer to discuss his atmospheric period piece, his plans for a feature-length adaptation, and more.

Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Andrew. When did you first decide that you wanted to adapt George G. Toudouze’s short story “Three Skeleton Key”?

Andrew Hamer: I had read the short story “Three Skeleton Key” by George G. Toudouze when I was young and it scared the hell out of me. There was so much suspense and dread. When I was trying to find a new idea for a screenplay five years ago, I remembered that story set in a lighthouse.
