Stars: Colleen Porch, Joel Bryant, Ridege Canipe | Written by Lars Jacobson | Directed by Lars Jacobson, Amardeep Keleka
Cradle Will Fall aka Baby Blues, the debut feature from the team of Lars Jacobson and Amardeep Keleka, is based (very loosely) on the true story of Andrea Yates – a Texan mother who drowned her five children in the bath in 2001 and is a story of post partum depression taken to the horrific slasher movie extreme. The film is most definitely not for the motherly types out there. With her truck driving husband constantly out on the road, a young mother (Colleen Porch) struggles to raise her three young children alone on a secluded farmhouse. Already suffering from post partum depression, the pressure of caring for her three children causes her to undergo a psychotic break and triggers a filicidal rampage. The only person capable of stopping her murderous attack is her eldest child,...

Stars: Tony Todd, Sally Kirkland, Douglas Tait, David Beeler, Joel Bryant, Stacey Carino, Richardson Chery, Adam David, Jemal Draco | Written and Directed by Kimberly Seilhamer
An albino, a deaf mute, a jock, a fat kid, a sexually-abused girl and a token “Angry Asian” chick all get on a bus… Sounds like the start of some strange non-pc joke right? Well it’s not. It’s actually how writer/director Kimberly Seilhamer chooses to open her directorial debut Jack the Reaper - a great pun which is lost in the films re-titling to merely The Reaper.
The film follows a group of teenage stereotypes all forced into Saturday detention in the library at the railroad museum (really?) after failing to turn in a paper on the Industrial Revolution. What one has to do with the other I’m not sure – well the railroad was important in getting the products of industry across the Us right.

Fans of old school rubber suit monster effects like myself will have a new creature feature to be hopeful about shortly when Beast Beneath, about a monster from the netherworld guarding a fortune in treasure, sees daylight early next year.
Synopsis:
1861. Several thousand acres of pristine land are stolen from their owner, Don Antonio Feliz, on his deathbed. His blind niece, Petranilla, curses everyone involved. 150 years pass, and Angelina Feliz, a direct descendant of the Don, along with her boyfriend, Derek, discover an old map in a family heirloom music box. The map shows the location of a treasure on the estate, but guarding the hidden fortune is a huge netherworld creature, a terrifying Barghest.
Poker Run director Julian Higgins directs this monster movie he co-wrote with his father, Bertie Higgins, who also co-stars in the film. Daniel Bonjour (Midnight Movie), Luis Fernandez-Gil, and Joel Bryant star in this “based...

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Osiris Entertainment.
Director: Elias Matar.
Writers: Edward E. Romero, and Elias Matar.
Cast: Enrique Almeida, Joel Bryant and Chris Trouble Delfosse.
When the subtitle of the movie poster of Ashes simply says, “We All Fall Down,” the connection this film is making with the classic nursery rhyme, “Ring a Ring o’ Roses,” is almost appropriate. Ashes is just a variation of “atishoo,” an onomatopoeia for a sneezing sound.
Had this film actually made more of a fuller emphasis with the verse, more people would be making the same leap of faith that director/writer Elias Matar has made—he believes the poem is about the bubonic plague.
But with this movie, the necrosis that develops is far worse. It numbs the nerves and dulls the brain. Eventually, all these patients are going to become zombies. But that is not what this film is about.

Osiris Entertainment has picked up the indie thriller Ashes for a future release, while Time Warner has acquired video-on-demand rights for this title. Release dates are to be formalized, but expect Ashes to become available in early 2012 with a vod release likely to come earlier than the DVD release (prediction).
Ashes is a story of an obsessive doctor who turns patients in to shells of their former selves. Infected with a virus, these patients turn everyone around them into mulch to the doctor's despair. This is a small film which includes a few action packed sequences and fans of indie thrillers might want to look out for this title in the coming year. A trailer for Ashes is below.
Release Date: 2011-2012 (DVD, VOD).

Jack the Reaper is another film from American World Pictures, which was previously titled One-by-One: Death's Door (Dread). The film stars the prolific actor Tony Todd (Hatchet II), Sally Kirkland (Bruce Almighty), and Douglas Tait (Freddy vs. Jason), in a real coming of age film. Instead of getting their first razor, several teenagers learn about the industrial revolution the hard way, by sharp axe and disfigured monster. The first trailer for Jack the Reaper was released last week and the clip is reposted here, for those who missed it.
The synopsis for Jack the Reaper:
"A group of teens set out on a field trip to a railroad museum only to encounter "Railroad Jack," who makes sure their bus crashes and forces them to explore his carnival, as he picks them off one at a time" (Dread).
Director/writer: Kimberly Seilhamer.
Cast: Chris Bruno, Jay Gillespie, and Joel Bryant.

In a week of Apple announcements, Digital Hollywood and other new media events, it’s worth taking note of a rather heavy week of web series premieres. Some went seasonal for Halloween while others went a little racy trying to crack through the crowded web series field this fall. New series premieres this week: Suck and Moan Timed for the Halloween season of darker fare, this Vampire vs. Zombies comedy from creator director Brendan Fong in his scripted web series directing debut. It’s produced by Streamy-nominee Joel Bryant from After Judgment along with iBallz founder Danny Ohman. The creators are billing this one as: “1 part Zombieland, 1 part Shaun of the Dead, and 2 parts Clerks, this satirical web series follows a group of overly analytical vampires who find themselves knee deep in a race to preserve a newly dwindling food source.” Related News:‘The Suffersons’ Premieres As Rocketboom’s First...
