Director Brandon Slagle is known for his fun, quick, in-and-out style and prolific indie filmography. While no film production is easy, he arguably met his greatest challenge with the new alligator thriller, The Flood. Starring Nicky Whelan and Casper Van Dien among others, The Flood centers on a Louisiana prison being battered by a hurricane; the flooding gets so bad that a congregation of alligators makes their way into the prison, and soon inmates and guards must work together to survive.

As one can imagine, shooting the wet alligator film was no dry picnic. “There were a lot of challenges filming in water,” Van Dien told MovieWeb. “We were in abandoned buildings that they tried to waterproof, but then they pour the water into it, but you know, the building has rats and snakes and bugs and dirt. The water is clean when they put it in, then everybody's walking through it,...

Screen Rant is pleased to present an exclusive first look at a clip from the upcoming horror movie, The Flood.

In the middle of a prisoner transport, a major storm forces a change of course that sees a group of dangerous criminals temporarily housed in a small Louisiana jail. However, massive flooding in the middle of a swamp country and rising waters have led to a new danger for everyone. A group of massive alligators have followed the water into the building and now the prisoners and their guards might fight together for survival. Faced...

When a filmmaker takes on a story based on the crimes committed by a real serial killer, they have to walk a fine line. If they cross that line, it can feel disrespectful to the victims… and can even seem like they’re glorifying the killer. That’s not something Devanny Pinn intends to do with her feature directorial debut a 1970s serial killer tale called Black Mass. Speaking with Rue Morgue, she revealed that Black Mass focuses on the victims rather than the killer.

Inspired by real events, Black Mass is set over a 24-hour period in Florida during the winter of 1978 when college girls were being stalked by a serial killer. Eric Pereira and Brandon Slagle wrote the screenplay. Cast members include Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Jeremy London (Mallrats), Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master), Michelle Romano (Escape From Ensenada), Kathleen Kinmont...

Yes, this is the alligators-in-a-prison movie, if anyone wants to watch. Starring Casper Van Dien, Nicky Whelan, Louis Mandylor, Devanny Pinn, Ryan Francis, Randy Wayne, and Kim DeLonghi. This does not seem worth anyone's time or money - steer clear of this one, folks. There are plenty of other better giant alligator / croc movies to watch instead: Sewer Gators,...

Ambush, from director Mark Burman and his co-writers Johnny Lozano and Michael McClung (American Martyr) is the latest film to try and turn one of the most divisive events in American history, the Vietnam War, into mainstream entertainment. Despite a burst of “Namsploitation” films like Missing in Action, The Last Hunter and Siege of Firebase Gloria in the 1980s, the war has resisted attempts to make it the subject of action films, and this doesn’t seem likely to change that.

Daughter is set to release in theaters, on Digital, and On Demand starting Friday, February 10. The film follows an unconventional family as they welcome a new member into the household. However, their new addition isn't there by choice. Taken from her old life and forced to go by the name "Sister," a young woman must carefully tread the line between obedient and subversive if she hopes to survive long enough to make her great escape.

Casper Van Dien plays Father, the antagonist of the story who keeps Sister held against her will. Van Dien has worked on a multitude of projects, several of which have 2023 release dates. However, Van Dien is most notably known for his role as Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers.

Stars: Casper Van Dien, Ian Alexander, Megan Le, Elyse Dinh, Vivien Ngo | Written and Directed by Corey Deshon

“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...
