One of the great things about streaming media platforms is that they offer access to entertainment from around the world. With just the click of a button, you can watch movies and shows in Polish, Thai, Dutch, Spanish, and more, all from the comfort of your couch! On top of that, streaming services tend to be more willing to take chances on fresh and foreign ideas, giving them the opportunity to flounder or flourish for audiences who might never have seen them otherwise. And for us horror fans, that means unlimited spooky, bloody, and downright scary content like the world's goriest buffet.
The gamble here is that horror as a genre has always been a perilous form of media, as it's often perceived as taboo-breaking and (occasionally) downright repugnant. Horror projects often portray things we don't want to face and yet somehow find ourselves inexorably drawn to. Streaming media has...

Each year it is a pleasure to introduce the ten actors who make up the European Film Promotion‘s Shooting Stars, and this year is no different. The initiative, to celebrate and promote the best in European acting talent, is dear to the heart of HeyUGuys, and we’ll be continuing our partnership this year with in-depth interviews with each of the 2021 cohort.
This year will, as expected, be slightly different from previous years. The ten emerging actors will be presented as part of a three-day online programme, a week before the 71st Berlinale commences. The digital event, held on the 23rd to the 25th of February, will be an online experience where we’ll be able to sit down and learn a little more about what makes these ten people the ones to watch.
Each of the actors were chosen by a carefully selected jury from a list of...

Obligatory disclaimer: A show that features people dropping dead for some mysterious reason is admittedly a tough sell right now. But one of the reasons that “Into the Night” isn’t quite the derivative thriller it may seem to be on first glance is that its approach is centered around survival.
The new international drama, now streaming on Netflix, focuses on a group of passengers aboard a flight heading west from Brussels to Moscow. When an Italian soldier Terenzio (Stefano Cassetti) forces his way through the gates and onto a commercial flight, he and the handful of other people with him become some of the only individuals to escape a deadly worldwide event brought on by exposure to sunlight.
Under the leadership of pilot Mathieu (Laurent Capelluto) and passenger Sylvie (Pauline Etienne), pressed into cockpit service when the rest of the crew and passengers are left at the terminal after Terenzio forces an early takeoff,...

The young Belgian director has kicked off the shoot for her feature debut, starring Karim Leklou, Laurent Capelluto, Anne-Pascale Clairembourg, Laura Verlinden and Sandrine Blancke. Young Belgian director Laura Wandel has just begun the shoot for La Naissance des arbres (lit. “The Birth of the Trees”), which will take place until 16 August in the Brussels region. The film, which is set in a primary school, depicts a group of children who lie at the heart of the story. This is the feature debut by Wandel, whose last short film, Foreign Bodies, was selected in competition at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated in the Best Short Film category at the 2015 Magritte Awards. The movie tells the story of a little girl called Nora. When she starts school, she is torn between wanting to help her brother, who has fallen victim to bullying, and the need to...

I’m guessing that you, just like most of us, have always had seasonal favorites when it comes to movies that attempt to address and evoke the spirit of Christmas. Like most from my generation, when I was a kid I learned the pleasures of perennial anticipation of Christmastime as interpreted by TV through a series of holiday specials, like How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and even musical variety hours where the likes of Bing Crosby and Andy Williams and Dean Martin et al would sit around sets elaborately designed to represent the ideal Christmas-decorated living room, drinking “wassail” (I’m sure that’s what was in those cups) and crooning classics of the season alongside a dazzling array of guests. (We knew we were moving into a new world of holiday cheer when David Bowie joined Bing Crosby for...

Kids today? Trouble just finds them, man. So glad we're past the days of puberty, acne, high school, and oh yeah, mysterious corpses found in the bushes. Okay, so we're not exactly past that last one, but damnit, we're not alone either!
Exploring these subjects is the upcoming French film from Fabrice Gobert, Lights Out. Starring Jules Pelissier, Ana Girardot, Serge Riaboukine, and Laurent Capelluto, Lights Out is now in post production for release sometime later this year. Dig on the plot crunch and sales art below.
Synopsis
March, 1992, in a small town in the suburbs of Paris. During an alcohol-fueled party teenagers discover a body hidden in the bushes of a forest. A body that seems lifeless. Two weeks earlier Simon, a 16 year-old teenager, did not show up for class. Blood stains are found in a classroom. Runaway, kidnap, suicide, murder?
A few days later Laetitia, a student from the same class,...

Chicago – When American filmmakers throw a colorful familial ensemble under one roof for the holidays, the result often feels like a forced sitcom. Consider 2005’s “The Family Stone,” an ungainly fusion of slapstick laughs, scathing satire and feel good fuzziness.
The family members and their significant others each came equipped with their own specially designed quirks, including a matriarch battling cancer, and a deaf son with a black male lover (they’re portrayed as the only “normal” people in the film). French filmmaker Arnaud Desplechin’s “A Christmas Tale,” has the same basic outline, yet its style is more evocative of the New Wave than bad television.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
Not since Ingmar Bergman’s “Fanny and Alexander” has a film so enchantingly merged jubilant holiday magic with melancholy family drama. It’s an exhilaratingly off-kilter picture, with a story both sprawling and simple. The film opens with a man, Abel...

A Christmas TALEby Steve Ramos, Writer From Paris With Passion - filmmaker Arnaud Desplechin delivers with 'A Christmas Tale' A few things to remember about French filmmaker Arnaud Desplechin are his impressive work history of eight feature films, including the London-based period drama "Esther Kahn;' that four of his films have been in competition at Cannes and that French performers, including his male muse Mathieu Amalric, enthusiastically seek out the opportunity to work with him. The fact that most American moviegoers, even those who regularly frequent art house cinemas, require a biography on Desplechin, or a list of his previous movies, speaks to a more pressing dilemma. With his latest drama "A Christmas Tale" ("Un Conte de Noël") (the film opens in New York Nov. 14 before expanding across the country), Desplechin proves himself to be a master filmmaker at the height of his art. He's both an expert storyteller,...
