Produced by NipponTV, “The Hot Spot” aired last Spring on Sundays at 10:30 in the evening and is currently available for streaming on Netflix. This calming, slice-of-life comedy reunites Bakarhythm with Itaru Mizuno, the same director who handled his other scripts, specifically “Brush Up Life” (or “ Rebooting” on Netflix) and “Trespassers.” Noboyushi Yamada and Kento Matsuda also directed a few episodes.

Like these aforementioned works, the series features middle-aged protagonists. The show bagged several awards including Best Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor at the 123rd Japan Drama Awards.

In “Trespassers”, we get a quirky and entertaining television movie from screenwriter Bakarhythm and director Itaru Mizuno, the same tandem behind the critically acclaimed 2023 comedy series “Brush Up Life.”

They introduce us to three middle-aged women who decide to break into the house of the owner of a housekeeping company where two of them work. Tanaka (Rinko Kikuchi) and Ogawa (Kami Hiraiwa) learn about a rumor that their boss commits tax fraud. Thinking of their low salaries and their boss’s false branding as an ally for women, they decide to steal the tax money which they assume is hidden in her mansion. They justify this act among themselves as fair, since they are lowballed in terms of compensation and benefits and they plan to donate two thirds of the money to charity. The two seek the assistance of Eto (Yo Yoshida), Ogawa’s friend who claims she’s an...

She has been officially approved at the Busan International Film Festival (Biff)’s general assembly and will commence a four-year term this Friday (March 8).

She also held several key roles at Acfm’s parent, the Biff, which has now passed this year’s business plan and budget at the general assembly, as it bids to return to normalcy after a string of resignations last year. Biff has also approved of 18 board members and an auditor,...

Trespassers is this hilarious yet nail-biting Netflix movie that totally had me hooked! Three girls, Tanaka, Megumi, and Eto decide to sneak into someone’s house, thinking they could score some hidden money stashed away as tax evasion fraud. But the film turned out to be a wild ride. As they attempt the flawless heist, they find themselves entangled in a series of unforeseen events. The events that unfold are simultaneously funny and heart-pounding, making the viewers wonder if these girls will make it out alive or end up behind bars. The best part of the movie lies in the whimsical manner in which the mystery unravels, which would have anyone sitting on the edge of their seat. What kept me glued to the screen was the constant anticipation of what crazy twist would come next. The three girls find themselves in increasingly absurd situations, and surprising revelations constantly hit them in the face.

The struggle to keep movie theaters alive gets very personal in “Showdown at the Grand,” an enjoyable tribute to retro exploitation pictures with Terrance Howard as a movie palace proprietor besieged by diminishing receipts and violent goons. Dolph Lundgren plays the former action star who shows up for a personal appearance, then stays to help save the joint from those agents of unscrupulous developers. More low-key homage than campy cartoon, writer-director Orson Oblowitz’s fourth feature does manage to deliver some tongue-in-cheek mayhem in an extended climax.

The setting is an actual vintage art deco temple for cinema, San Pedro’s Warner Grand, though rather than being managed by the City of Los Angeles (as it is off-screen), it’s kept alive here as a none-too-successful for-profit labor of love by George Fuller (Howard). Decked out in cowboy duds as if he were an actor himself, George is also projectionist,...

Available in theaters, on Digital, and On Demand starting February 10, Daughter is a new micro-budget thriller from Darkstar Pictures. When a young woman finds herself held hostage by a family of three, she has no choice but to play the role of "Sister." While obeying Father and entertaining Brother is the key to survival, Sister is determined to push Father's boundaries and win back her freedom. However, the longer Sister remains trapped, the clearer it becomes that not everything in the house is as it seems.

In addition to directing, Corey Deshon also serves as the film's writer and producer. Previously, Deshon directed the shorts Voice and To Police, and has additional writing credits on projects such as A Million Little Things and Trespassers. Vivien Ngô plays the starring role of sister, with Casper Van Dien, Elyse Dinh, and Ian Alexander completing the ensemble cast.

“The following is based more on fact than fiction.” These words appear in Daughter’s opening credits. Combined with footage of two gas-masked figures, Father, and Brother chasing down a young woman it gives the feeling that we’re about to see another piece of low budget psycho cinema. When they catch up to her Father beats her to death with a hammer, which only reinforces that impression.

Impressions can be deceiving however and Corey Deshon who makes his feature film directorial debut, having previously written Trespassers, has something very different in mind even if it isn’t immediately obvious.

When we next see Father he’s with another woman, this one tied up on the garage floor. He tells her that he doesn’t want any harm to come to her...

Screen Daily reports that Nina Hoss and Vanessa Paradis will be toplining the English-language period thriller Trespassers. We imagine there’ll be touches of French and German tossed in for a bit more authenticity. Production is set for the spring of 2023 in Jersey and France. The UK producers Evangelo Kioussis and Giles Foreman, and French producers are Gaël Cabouat and Boris Mendza are mounting the project.…...

Exclusive: Enola Homes breakout Louis Partridge has closed a deal with Legendary to star in Ferryman, an epic fantasy romance film, adapted from the internationally bestselling YA novel trilogy by Scottish author Claire McFall.

Kelly Marcel is producing, and is set to direct from her own screenplay adaptation, in her feature debut.

Taking its inspiration from ancient Greek mythology, Ferryman follows Tristan, a mysterious being tasked with leading departed souls through limbo and into the afterlife. When a train crashes in the Scottish Highlands, he meets Dylan, a spirited young woman struggling against her fate. While Tristan’s duty is to protect Dylan from an encroaching darkness, his task and their journey become increasingly perilous as they find themselves falling in love – and Dylan refuses to leave Tristan behind.

Ferryman was originally published in the UK by Templar in 2013, winning a Scottish Teen Book Award.

This time he takes us to Shookum Hills, the film’s original title, an abandoned town in Appalachia where inhabitants vanished and the coal mines have been burning for decades. Is it a hill country Silent Hill, or something more sinister?

On Tuesday, actor Zachary Horwitz (known professionally as Zach Avery) was arrested on charges of wire fraud, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.

The FBI and SEC allege that Horwitz ran a Ponzi scheme through his company, 1inMM, which defrauded investors of $227 million.

Allegedly, Horwitz told investors that his company invested in film rights, subsequently reselling these rights to distributors like Netflix and HBO. He is said to have sold people on his scheme by showing them fake licensing and distribution agreements, featuring forged signatures. Ultimately, however, both of the above companies confirmed to the FBI that they’d never conducted business with 1nMM.

It is believed that Horwitz began receiving funds as part of the Ponzi scheme in 2015, using them to purchase a $6 million home in the Beverlywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, while repaying earlier investors.

Horwitz’s credits as an actor include low-budget features such as Trespassers and The Devil Below.

While 2019’s home media releases ended on a quiet note, taking off the week of Christmas and New Year’s, this first Tuesday of 2020 is more than making up for it with an array of titles that should delight horror and sci-fi fans of all tastes. In terms of recent films, both Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, Travis Stevens’ Girl on the Third Floor are making their way to Blu-ray and DVD this week, Michael Beach Nichols' documentary Wrinkles the Clown is coming to DVD from Magnet Releasing, and Scream Factory is releasing Larry Fessenden’s take on Frankenstein—Depraved—as well.

Kino is showing some love to the sci-fi classic Doctor Cyclops, and Rlje Films is keeping busy with both The Shed and The Nightshifter this Tuesday. Other notable releases for January 7th include Trespassers, Cosmos, Dark Encounter, Mermaid Down, Savage Creatures, and Dark Light.

Happy Friday! As the weekend hits, we are bringing back the review round-up in order to cover a couple of new titles arriving in theaters on a limited basis. Today, we’ll be briefly discussing two particular films, both of which are quite different from each other. The movies in question are the documentary Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable, as well as the home invasion tale Trespassers. Both of these flicks offer up something a bit different and may or may not be worth your time this weekend. That question, in particular, is something I’ll attempt to answer right now, so let us dive in! Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable The life of surfer Bethany Hamilton is worth celebrating. After all, how many of us would respond well to being attacked by a shark, especially after losing a limb? What’s more, to succeed as Hamilton has, after the attack, in part...

Two couples trying to mend their relationships are interrupted at their isolated getaway by a stranger who claims to have car trouble, but instead has deadly trouble planned for her unsuspecting new friends in Trespassers, and with the new horror film out today from IFC Midnight, we've been provided with an exclusive clip featuring Fairuza Balk.

Watch a mysterious stranger (Balk) with enigmatic intentions arrive on the doorstep of an isolated home in our exclusive clip below, and in case you missed it, read Heather Wixson's interview with Oblowitz.

Directed by Orson Oblowitz from a screenplay by Corey Deshon, Trespassers stars Angela Trimbur, Janel Parrish, Fairuza Balk, Jonathan Howard, and Zach Avery. Trespassers is now available On Demand and is also playing theatrically in New York and Los Angeles.

Synopsis: "Two couples, each working through relationship issues, rent a gorgeous house in the desert for a sex- and drug-fueled escape from reality.

You might be used to seeing Janel Parrish play Mona in Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists and Margot in To All the Boys I've Loved Before, but the 30-year-old actress enters different territory in her new film Trespassers. The horror film, directed by Orson Oblowitz, centers on two couples - Estelle (Parrish) and Victor (Jonathan Howard), as well as Sarah (Angela Trimbur) and Joseph (Zach Avery) - who are experiencing relationship problems and decide to rent an Airbnb in the desert for a temporary getaway. But the arrival of a mysterious woman (Fairuza Balk) leads to death and chaos as the four friends are forced to fight for their lives against home invaders.

For Parrish, the dark thriller was easy to get behind after she read the script. "I thought it was really interesting, and the whole Airbnb aspect of it is so terrifying to me," she said. "It could...

Set to hit theaters in Los Angeles and New York tomorrow is Orson Oblowitz’s home invasion thriller Trespassers, which stars Angela Trimbur and Fairuza Balk (two of this writer’s favorite actresses), as well as Zach Avery, Janel Parrish,g and Jonathan Howard. The story follows two couples who Airbnb a house in the middle of the desert for a weekend to try to work out their respective issues, but things go horribly awry once they find themselves in a fight for their lives.

Daily Dead recently chatted with Trespassers director Orson Oblowitz about his initial interest in taking on the project, as well as the casting process, the challenges of creating the film’s visual style, how working on the project transformed him as an artist, and more.

Look for Trespassers in both La and NYC this weekend, and for those of you in other cities around the country,...

A weekend getaway goes sour even before the corpses start accruing in “Trespassers,” a good-looking indie thriller that’s diverting, but could have used another script draft or two. Depicting two quarrelsome if hard-bodied couples who find themselves in deep peril at a rented desert home, Orson Oblowitz’s film has a leisurely enough buildup that room should have been made for more fully developed characters. Fine-tuning the pileup of eventual violent crises wouldn’t have hurt, either. The result falls short of being especially credible, let alone memorable. Still, this is a polished genre exercise that provides a decent night’s home entertainment. IFC Midnight is opening it July 12 on screens in New York and Los Angeles, simultaneous with its launch on demand.

A brief prelude leaves us no doubt that the owners of a handsome modernist manse in the Mohave meet a very bad end at the hands of three masked,...

Happy July, everyone! If you’re looking for ways to beat the summer heat, here’s a look at all the digital debuts and titles headed to VOD over the next few weeks that should keep you busy from the comfort of your own home. Everything kicks off in a big way over the next several days, as we have multiple titles being released tomorrow, and then we have not only the third season of Stranger Things to look forward to on July 4th, but also the next installment of Blumhouse’s Into the Dark series, Culture Shock, which was directed by Gigi Saul Guerrero.

July 9th is another big day, as both Hellboy (2019) and Alita: Battle Angel hit multiple digital platforms and Pet Sematary (2019) finally arrives on Video on Demand. Just a few days later, we have a bonanza of badassery coming our way, as not only do we...

An official trailer and poster have released this week for Trespassers. Shot in Malibu, California, the film involves two couples on vacation. They enjoy a bit of an escape from their regular lives, but find themselves caught-up in a home invasion. IFC Midnight will release this title, in July. The initial launch will take place in Los Angeles and New York, along with a simultaneous Digital release. As well, Trespassers stars: Fairuza Balk (Almost Famous), Angela Trimbur (Trash Fire), Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars), Jonathan Howard and Zach Avery. The film was directed by Orson Oblowitz (The Queen of Hollywood Blvd) and written by Corey Deshon. The full length trailers is below and the ominous poster can be found here. The trailer and other promotional materials show several masked intruders. Who are they and what do they want? The houseguests have no idea and Trespassers offers a bit of mystery this July 12th.

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to produce a great horror movie. Case in point: The trailer for Trespassers looks like a spiritual sequel to The Strangers. Still, this tale of masked intruders imposing on a group of vacationing 20-somethings looks fantastic! It also features Fairuza Balk, the actress who played Nancy in The […] The post Trailer: Trespassers Starring Fairuza Balk Looks Like a Spiritual Sequel to The Strangers appeared first on Dread Central.

Two couples trying to mend their relationships are interrupted at their isolated getaway by a stranger who claims to have car trouble, but instead has trouble planned for her unsuspecting new friends in IFC Midnight's official trailer for Trespassers, a new horror film starring Fairuza Balk.

Directed by Orson Oblowitz from a screenplay by Corey Deshon, Trespassers stars Angela Trimbur, Janel Parrish, Fairuza Balk, Jonathan Howard, and Zach Avery. Trespassers will be released theatrically in New York and Los Angeles on July 12th, as well as On Demand.

"Sometimes you just can't stop what's coming..." IFC Midnight has released an official trailer for an indie horror film titled Trespassers, the latest from filmmaker Orson Oblowitz (The Queen of Hollywood Blvd). The home invasion horror premiered at FrightFest London last year, and also played in Germany's Fantasy Filmfest. Two couples rent a modern luxury desert home for the weekend hoping to sort out their messed-up lives. Just as they are about to settle in, a woman shows up at their door. And that's when the murderous trouble really starts. Because without knowing it, these four friends have just landed slap-bang in the wrong violent place at precisely the wrong bloody time. Starring Angela Trimbur, Zach Avery, Janel Parrish, Jonathan Howard, Fairuza Balk, Carlo Rota, Sebastian Sozzi, and Joey Abril. This seems so much like a been-there, done-that horror rehash pulling from You're Next and everything else we've already seen.

The Strangers writer-director Bryan Bertino's new nightmare The Dark & the Wicked has just snagged it's cast in the form of Marin Ireland (The Miseducation of Cameron Post), Michael Abbott Jr. (The Death of Dick Long), and Xander Berkeley (The Walking Dead). Bertino's new film follows the tale of terror centering on two siblings who are summoned back to the family farm to await the inevitability of their father's death, and what initially appears to be a timeless ritual of loss and remembrance turns out to be something very different.

While this has not been confirmed, I can only imagine that Ireland and Abbott Jr. will be playing the siblings mentioned above while Berkeley will be portraying the family patriarch at the end of his life. But again, this has not been confirmed at this time.

One of the main reasons I'm excited about today's news is the inclusion of actor Xander Berkeley.

You’ve done every film related job from producer and actor to cinematographer and editor. Was directing always the goal?

Poverty dictates…I would just take any position I could and figure it out from there, especially when I made The Queen Of Hollywood Blvd. where I just didn’t have the budget and had to take on as many positions as I could. Directing was always the ultimate goal though. Funny enough, the genesis of Hell came from a job I had done years before when I was camera operating on a feature film The Ganzfeld Experiment. It was a crazy production, and my dad was the director. The line producer of Ganzfeld was Julio Hallivis. We became friends and stayed in touch. Cut to five years later, I show Julio my first film The Queen of Hollywood Blvd. and he says “Hey man, I got a script I think you will dig.

In the latest installment of his Frightfest 2018 pre-festival preview series, host Stuart Wright talks Hell Is Where The Home Is with screenwriter Corey Deshon.

Two dysfunctional couples rent a modern luxury desert home for the weekend hoping to sort out their messed-up lives. Just as they are about to settle in for a fun night, a neighbour turns up at their front door saying she has car trouble. And that’s when the murderous trouble really starts. Because without knowing it, the four friends have landed slap-bang in the wrong violent place at precisely the wrong bloody time. Hopefully your nerves of steel will hold for one of the most stylish, atmospheric and terror-filled home invasion horrors of them all.

If you thought that Lara Jean's older sister looked familiar in the To All the Boys I've Loved Before teaser, then you thought right. In the upcoming Netflix adaptation of Jenny Han's bestselling novel, Lara Jean (played by Lana Condor) accidentally reveals her secret feelings for all five of her former crushes, and her wise big sis, Margot, is played by Janel Parrish, best known as Mona Vanderwaal on Pretty Little Liars. Seriously, the cast for this movie is out-of-control good.

You probably don't even remember whether or not you liked Mona after the series finale, and we can't blame you. Parrish's Pll character led a complicated arc, playing the show's main antagonist for the first two seasons, and then again during the first half of the fifth season. But besides hitting Bethany Young with a shovel, killing Charlotte Dilaurentis, and making a deal with "A...

Exclusive: Will Patton, Alicia Sanz, and Adan Canto, and Zach Avery have been tapped to star in a yet-to-be-titled horror film which will shoot in Kentucky next month. Brad Parker (Chernobyl Diaries) is directing the film from a script by Eric Scherbarth and Stefan Jaworski. Julio and Diego Hallivis are producing and financing the pic via 1inMM Productions.

The plot centers on a geological expedition to an Appalachian sinkhole that becomes a terrifying fight for survival against a mysterious deadly force.

Jaworski and Chinaza Uchi round out the cast. Alejandro De Leon and Andres Rosende are also producing the project with Jared Ian Goldman as an executive producer.

Sanz was seen in the Steven Soderbergh-executive produced sci-fi thriller Perfect, which debuted at SXSW, and co-stars in James Cox’s upcoming film Billionaire Boys Club. Canto currently stars ABC’s opposite Kiefer Sutherland in ABC’s Designated Survivor while Avery...

Screen Media Films has released the first trailer and poster for Curvature, which puts an interesting twist on the time travel genre. The thriller stars Lyndsy Fonseca as a scientist, who must break into a top-secret facility in order to travel back in time and prevent a murder after receiving a mysterious phone call from herself. While we won't know for sure until next month when it hits theaters, this movie could be one of the first sleeper hits of 2018.

The film had its world premiere at the Shriekfest Film Festival in October, where it won Best Sci-Fi Feature, followed by a screening at the Stiges Film Festival. Screen Media Films has slated the film for release on February 23, 2018, in limited release and through on demand formats. While late February doesn't often produce box office blockbusters, there are four high-profile movies opening in wide release that weekend. Paramount's Annihilation,...
