Live-action adaptations have always been a disappointment for anime fans who only hope to see their favorite anime adapted in real life. Among these cursed anime live-action adaptations, the one that felt the most disappointing was Death Note, which came out on Netflix in 2017.

The live-action movie was one of the most anticipated projects for Death Note fans, but these anticipations turned into regret because of the way the movie desecrated the entire story of the original Death Note. The movie tried to westernize the concept of Death Note and thus failed miserably.

Its failure was so big that actor Steven John Ward, who plays Dracule Mihawk in the One Piece live-action, was happy when he lost his role in the movie during the auditions. He once talked about how he auditioned for a role in the Death Note movie, but got rejected. However, he was actually happy when he...

You have to say one thing about the hapless characters in the new horror film directed by Alastair Orr (House on Willow Street, Indigenous): They at least know exactly what kind of movie they’re in. Turning homicidally on each other in the woods with bombs attached to their chests, they manage to throw in joking references to the Saw movies and John Wick, among other things. The problem is that these occasionally clever throwaway gags in Triggered mostly remind you of far better viewing experiences.

David D. Jones’ script provides the sort of high concept — albeit not a particularly original one — ...

A slice of high concept horror with nicely drawn characters, Triggered is the latest work by Alastair Orr, the man behind 2016 genre hit From A House On Willow Street. It makes use of some familiar tropes but draws them together into a story that stands up well in its own right, with tight pacing and explosive energy.

It begins with that old genre staple, a weekend trip to the woods, where a group of young people get together - some of them meeting for the first time since high school - and sit around a campfire to talk and drink. Exactly how they all came to be invited on this trip is a bit of a mystery, however, as they weren't all close friends. They don't have long in which to start figuring it out before gas starts drifting around their camp and they all pass out - only to.

Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the thriller/action/horror film, Triggered On Digital and On Demand November 6, 2020. Check out the trailer:

Triggered stars Sean Cameron Michael (“Black Sails,” The Mummy), Liesl Ahlers (Friend Request, Daylight) and Reine Swart (The Lullaby, Detour). The film was directed by Alastair Orr (House on Willow Street, Indigenous) and written by David D. Jones,making his feature screenwriting debut.

Nine friends, all harboring a dark secret, go camping in the woods. After a wild night of partying, they wake up with Suicide Bombs strapped to their chests, all with varying times on their countdown clocks. They decide to work out how to disarm the bombs or find help – until they discover they can ‘take’ one another’s time by killing each other.

Retired demon wrangler Damon Richter is pulled back into the game when his estranged daughter is possessed by the spirit responsible for destroying his life and family. Together with his ex-priest pal, the bearded, tattooed beach bum sets about putting his own supernatural abilities to good use. That is, of course, when he isn’t busy posing moodily and glowering from beneath his impressive beard, like an over-filtered Instagram celebrity.

Of all the horror subgenres, few lend themselves to low budget quite like the exorcism movie. Sure, there’s room for all the fancy special effects, pea soup and levitating demons that money can buy, but all you really need to make it work is a bed, some chains and a profanity-laced script.

From a House on Willow Street is changing its name, again. This time, for the United States' Video-on-demand launch, this title is going back to its original title: House on Willow Street. From Alastair Orr (Rancid, 2011) and writers: Catherine Blackman and Jonathan Jordaan, this title involves a kidnapping and a demonic possession. Though, the kidnapped characters does not look like a child. Adultnapping? This title is being launched in the Us, via IFC's Midnight label. To celebrate, a new clip has been released for the film, via Rue Morgue. This clip, titled by 28Dla as "Deadly Apparition," is available here. The official IFC Film's synopsis talks of a "supernatural wild ride." Katherine (Carlyn Burchell) is the daughter of a wealthy family. But, she holds a secret within. Once kidnapped for a ransom, Katherine begins to show her true demonic powers, to her kidnappers. Now, it is a battle to death...

Movies on Demand is a cinephile’s delight in March, as there are plenty of awards-friendly titles to catch up on after the most explosive Oscars ever. Check out three of our favorite films below, as well as the full list of great movies available.

1) “Jackie” (Available March 7)

Pablo Larraín’s brilliant film is so much more than a run-of-the-mill biopic, elevated by Oscar-nominated turns including Natalie Portman’s complex portrayal of Jackie Kennedy, and Mica Levi’s haunting score. One of the year’s best surprises from a director as the height of his powers.

2) “Fences” (Available March 14)

This Oscar nominee for Best Picture is a wonderful interpretation of August Wilson’s play, anchored by acting powerhouses Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. Get the tissues ready for one of 2016’s most immediate and gut-wrenching films.

3) “Moana” (Available March 7)

Need a great movie to keep the whole family entertained? Try “Moana,...

The first trailer for From a House on Willow Street was released in late January, 2017. Now, a second trailer has been released for the film, via IFC Films. Previously named A House on Willow Street, this horror title involves a kidnapping and a demonic victim. Events go sideways for these desperate criminals. From a House on Willow Street stars: Carlyn Burchell, Gustave Gerdener, Zino Ventura and many more. From Alastair Orr (Rancid, 2011), the latest promotional material for From a House on Willow Street is hosted here. The film looks similar to another, Don't Breathe (2016). Both films deal with criminals, hoping to score easy cash. However, their victims turn out to be tougher than they thought. With the tables turned around, both sets of bandits have bitten off more than they can chew, or rob. From a House on Willow Street has secured a release date. The film is slated to show in the United States,...

"You should really let me go... Or you're all going to die tonight." IFC Midnight has released the official trailer for an indie horror film titled House on Willow Street, formerly From a House on Willow Street (the full title when it premiered at FrightFest last year). From director Alastair Orr, the film is about a group of kidnappers who take a young woman from a house on Willow Street. They soon find out they chose the wrong person to kidnap, as the girl is actually a demonic killer herself. Sharni Vinson stars, along with Carlyn Burchell, Steven Ward, Zino Ventura, and Gustav Gerdener. This film actually looks totally crazy and freaky and violent and everything. It gets even weirder when the special effects kick in. Have fun. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Alastair Orr's House on Willow Street, from IFC's YouTube: After a young woman (Sharni Vinson) is kidnapped,...

The post Evil Has a View From a House on Willow Street appeared first on Dread Central.

Evil has an address. In last year’s Don’t Breathe, a group of young friends broke into a house and found themselves quickly in way over the heads. The characters in this year’s From a House on Willow Street, well, they’ve also made a choice that they’re going to live (and die) to regret. They’ve decided […]...

Four kidnappers get more than they bargained for when they kidnap Katherine, the daughter of a diamond broker. They take her to an abandoned factory and prepare to hold her for a ransom. However, trouble starts brewing when they cannot locate her parents and make their demands. As the crew uncovers the truth about their victim, they realize that they are no longer the most dangerous people in the building. There is a lot to like about From a House on Willow Street. It is a handsome film. The production design is pretty good. I was concerned that everyone in the cast had flashlights surgically stitched to their hands. (Seriously, I hope they got sponsored for using someone’s flashlights. All. The time.) But flashlight beams...
