Out today on VOD and in theaters from Brainstorm Media is writer/director Sheldon Wilson‘s high-concept sci-fi feature Believer, and an exclusive new clip teases there may be more than meets the eye to this cult thriller.

In Believer, “A young writer is attacked by a notorious cult leader and mass murderer, a man who exerts inexplicable control over his followers. When she claims no memory of the attack, her family begins to question her motives.”

In the clip below, an intense nosebleed triggers an unexpected attack, signalling there may be something supernatural afoot. Or is there?

Lauren Lee Smith, Ella Ballentine, Peter Mooney, Martin Roach, Ilan O’Driscoll, Jonathan Potts, and Kris Holden-Ried star.

Sheldon previously helmed horror films Night Class, Shallow Ground, Screamers: The Hunting, Shark Killer, The Unspoken. Jonathan Soon-Shiong produces Believer.

Believer is now available in theaters and VOD as of September 13, 2024.

Renowned horror writer Shirley Jackson is on the precipice of writing her masterpiece when the arrival of newlyweds upends her meticulous routine and heightens tensions in her already tempestuous relationship with her philandering husband. The middle-aged couple, prone to ruthless barbs and copious afternoon cocktails, begins to toy mercilessly with the naïve young couple at their door.

Here’s our list of women who write terrific horror novels.

Director: Sheldon Wilson (Shallow Ground, Mothman).

Cast: Michael Hogan (“Battlestar Galactica”), Magda Apanowicz (“Caprica”), and David Cubitt (“Medium”).

Just when viewers thought they have seen it all, SyFy Channel is going to get experimental with Snowmageddon. This made-for-tv product airs 9/8pm Central tonight.

With such an auspicious title like this one, does that mean that all viewers will see is nothing but death and destruction? Yes and No. There's going to be destruction, but when this title implies a blizzard in the likes that no man wants to experience, that is not going to happen. To see mankind surviving within a snowstorm, or even a sandstorm for that matter, can be interesting if the story is done right.

When a mysterious snow globe is supposed to be the link, there is a potential mystery. But this B-movie looks like it will remain simple. When this orb is delivered to a...

Syfy is broadcasting the weather this weekend, and it’s a 100% chance of Snowmageddon. Yes, the Syfy supernatural disaster movie with the title inspired by media news outlets' sensationalistic winter headlines from two years ago storms the airwaves this Saturday night, and Syfy has posted two clips from the movie to whet your appetite for destruction.

Sheldon Wilson (Shallow Ground, Mothman) directs. Michael Hogan (“Battlestar Galactica”), Magda Apanowicz (“Caprica”), and David Cubitt (“Medium”) try to survive the snowy onslaught of a magical snow globe’s frozen apocalypse this Saturday night on Syfy at 9/8 Central.

When the Miller family discovers a mysterious gift outside their home on Christmas Eve, they could never imagine it would contain the power to doom their idyllic mountain community. The gift contains a snow globe with a perfect reflection of their own town inside. When they shake it, snow even begins to fall - whatever happens...

After first winning attention on the genre scene for his 2005 chiller Shallow Ground, director Sheldon Wilson has been busy bringing terror to the Syfy channel with the likes of Carny, Mothman and Red: Werewolf Hunter. For his latest movie for the network, premiering this Saturday at 9/8 Central, he went up a Killer Mountain and lived to tell Fango the tale, and send a few exclusive photos.

Director Sheldon Wilson (Shallow Ground) is starting production on the latest Syfy Channel movie called Snowmageddon, with stars David Cubitt (Medium), Michael Hogan (Battlestar Galactica), and Magda Apanowicz (Caprica). The film is looking at a Holiday 2011 release and Dread Central has the plot details:

When the Miller family discovers a mysterious gift outside their home on Christmas Eve, they could never imagine it would contain the power to doom their idyllic mountain community. The gift contains a snow globe with a perfect reflection of their own town inside. When they shake it, snow even begins to fall – whatever happens inside the snow globe happens to their town for real. But when buttons on the snow globe unleash a series of terrible disasters on the town, the family must band together and find a way to destroy it – before it’s too late.

Fear…...

I don't know why I'm bothering to write about a supernatural Syfy disaster flick called Snowmageddon about a magical snow globe that when shaken unleashes a wintery apocalypse when the actual apocalypse is a little more than a day away. Do you realize when my life passes before my eyes how many of these Syfy movies I'm going to end up watching again in mega fast forward?

David Cubitt ("Medium"), Michael Hogan ("Battlestar Galactica"), and Magda Apanowicz ("Caprica") star in this Cinetel production from director Sheldon Wilson (Shallow Ground, Mothman) that'll probably make its bow on Syfy sometime this holiday season given the film's plot synopsis. Snowmageddon's plot kind of sounds like the basis for a very special Christmas episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series" that never got made.

Monsters - Review

First, the raw numbers: this is director and writer Gareth Edwards’ first feature, the movie cost a purported $15,000, internationally speaking the film has grossed over 1.5 million dollars, this is the one film you need to see this fall.

One of the spectacular aspects of a movie that is labeled sci-fi even though we only really glimpse the science of the fiction at the very beginning and then near the end which, really, is the crowning achievement of this little film that could, is that this movie exists at all. Actor Scoot McNairy, last seen in the very sweet and gentile film In Search of a Midnight Kiss, and his co-star Whitney Able are essentially starring in a film where...

Only one genre related Blu-ray hits stores this week -- Escape from L.A. -- but a decent crop of DVDs accompanies it, including the documentary to end all documentaries, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

In addition we get a couple of two-packs, Pulse/Sick Nurses and Midnight Movie/Killer Movie. I find the latter pairing interesting -- and helpful -- as I've never quite been able to remember which movie is which when it comes to those two flicks. There's also an odd three-pack: Severed: Forest of the Dead/Shallow Ground/The Rage.

Now that Paul Wesley is on everyone's radar thanks to "The Vampire Diaries", his previous brief outing as an angel in TV's "Fallen" has of course hit DVD. The pilot for another failed TV show, "Virtuality", also comes out on disc this week.

Despite the promising looking poster art that was being shown around at Afm a few months ago, the first clip for Syfy's Mothman had made its way online to prove that it's more of the same goofy stuff we can expect from the network. Sigh.

Sheldon Wilson (Shallow Ground, Screamers: The Hunting) directed the flick for Rhi Entertainment, and it stars Jewel Staite of "Firefly" and "Stargate: Atlantis". Wilson also shares a writing credit alongside "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" writers Sonny Lee and Patrick Walsh.

Well, at the very least this mythical psychic menace will be killing folks this time around instead of just making predictions about disasters. Look for it on Syfy April 24th at 9/8 Central.

No relation to the awful Mothman Prophecies movie (if you ever read the book, then you know why I just described the film as awful; and if you have never read the book, you should and then you, too, will realize why the film was so lame), Syfy has finally checked off enough other cryptids from its list to make a new film about the Mothman starring a "Firefly".

Not much is known about the plot of this Syfy-bound Mothman movie simply titled Mothman other than the glowy-eyed cryptozoological entity in this version also kills people, which I guess is a major step up from crank calling people in that terrible Richard Gere movie. Don't expect this one to adhere too closely to the facts of case either.

Sheldon Wilson (Shallow Ground, Screamers: The Hunting) is wrapping up post-production on this Rhi Entertainment entry starring Jewel Staite of "Firefly" and...

A handful of rather bizarre DVD re-releases are on tap this week for some reason including Evil Remains, Shallow Ground, and Satan's Little Helper; but at least they're accompanied by several new films, a box set of the entire Friday the 13th: The Series, a twin-pack of Carnival of Souls in both color and black & white, and Shaun of the Dead and Godzilla on Blu-ray!

My personal pick of the week is Clive Barker's Book of Blood (review here), which I had the chance to watch a few days ago and enjoyed quite a bit. If you're a fan of "Wtf" type flicks, then be sure to add 1972's The Reincarnation of Isabel to your shopping cart ... if for no other reason than to see Mickey Hargitay (the ex-husband of Jayne Mansfield and father of "Law & Order: Svu" star Mariska Hargitay) in all his glory.

On DVD this Tuesday is Screamers: The Hunting, the sequel to the legendary sci-fi thriller. Fangoria's got 8 clips from the film, (including DVD bonus features) along with the latest trailer. See them all below the cut.

Inspired by a short story by visionary author Philip K. Dick, Screamers: The Hunting is a mind-shattering sequel to the legendary sci-fi cult thriller! It's been thirteen years since the robotic killing machines known as Screamers destroyed the human population of Sirius 6B. But now a distress signal brings a team of rescuers to the supposedly abandoned planet. Can it be a long-lost colony of human survivors? Or have the Screamers evolved into something even more sinister...half-man/half-machine hybrids that need to escape Sirius 6B to finish their mission: the complete annihilation of the human race?

Sheldon Wilson (Shallow Ground) directed from a script by Miguel Tejada-Flores (Decoys: The Second Seduction); Lance Henriksen (Millenium), Gina Holden (Aliens Vs.

Directed by Paddy (Shrooms) Breathnach from a script by Spencer Wright, Red Mist centers on a bullied young man who goes comatose due to a prank by a bunch of med students. When one of the latter remorsefully tries to revive him with experimental drugs, he instead gains the ability to possess members of the group and turn them murderously against each other.

Raise your hand if you remember the movie Screamers. Ok, keep your hand raised if you remember anything other than "Peter Weller," "Philip K. Dick," and "box office failure." Yeah, that's what I thought. It's not that Screamers is that rotten of a sci-fi horror movie ... more that it's just Ok. Not awful, but certainly not cool enough to warrant a full-bore cult following. But that hasn't stopped a bunch of Canadian filmmakers from unleashing Screamers: The Hunting.

I'll embed the trailer clip in just a sec, but since Quiet Earth did the leg-work on this item, we'll refer you to their site for more info. Screamers: The Hunting looks pretty plain across the board, but of course I'm always interested in seeing a video sequel to a 14-year-old sci-fi flick that nobody talks about anymore. (I'm weird that way. Someone kick me if they ever find a trailer for...
