Remember Devon Sawa, one of those Zac Efron-esque teen / twenty heart-throbs of the 90s? Oh, come on. I know you do. Angelic as kid and Michelangelo like in his early 20s, Sawa made several fun but forgetable genre movies, including Idle Hands and Final Destination. I know you remember Fd. Lots of blood, decapitations and cute guys. Dying.  Sawa was headed for stardom -- and then he kind of dropped off the scene. Lots of rumors about Hollywood Life.  Looked terrible in a string of direct-to-video genre films. Like his looks, his career was pretty much over.

I seem to have been wrong.

I clicked into NCIS: Los Angeles the other day (I had nothing better to do)  and was relieved to see that the show was just as much the excrement I thought it would be. Who had the bright idea to cast Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J...

Creature of Darkness is a film from Showcase Entertainment and Mti Video which will release on to DVD April 13th. The film utilizes both the sci-fi and horror genres to deliver great lines like: "let's be ingenious!" Wow, that is exciting writing. Watch the trailer at an off site location to get the campy feel for this 2009 production.

The synopsis for Creature of Darkness:

"Andres is haunted by the nightmare of dying a horrible death in the claw of a rampaging creature. A friend convinces him the only way to conquer his imagined fear it to confront it head on. When they invite an adventurous group of off-roaders for radical cycling in remote terrain, no one knows they are being led to the time and place the nightmare unfolds. As sunset plunges them into darkness, the dreadful dream turns real, and they are attacked by The Catcher, a skilled...

Is it just my imagination or have we been reporting on the Devon Sawa monster movie Creature of Darkness for two years now? Sure feels like it has taken its sweet time. At long last, the monster movie funded by a Powerball lottery winner (true story!) will finally begin stalking DVD shelves this April.

"Whatever happened to" Devon Sawa (Final Destination, Idle Hands, Extreme Ops) stars as a young man plagued by nightmares in which he repeatedly sees himself and his friends being slaughtered by a supernatural monster known as The Catcher. His friends, who have apparently never seen a horror movie in their lives, attempt to cure him of his recurring nightmares by taking him to a secluded forest where his dreams indicate The Catcher lurks. Guess what dream monster turns out to be very much a reality?

Writer-director Mark Stouffer's Creature of Darkness co-stars the likes of Latin singing sensation Fernanda Romero,...

Devon Sawa, Matthew Lawrence and Sanoe Lake have signed on to star in the horror/sci-fi indie Hunter's Moon for Stouffer Entertainment. The story centers on a man (Sawa) who dreams that he and friends will die at the hands of a brutal, otherworldly creature. Fernanda Romero, Dan White, Siena Goines, Kevin Alejandro, Jennifer Howie and Ryan Judd round out the cast. Mark Stouffer is writer, director and producer of the film, which is executive produced by Mark Litwak and Jay Sedrish. Wendy Winks is co-producing.
