Filmmaker Kevin Abrams received acclaim recently for his documentaryI Got A Monster and this time out he is in the feature film arena with Marisol. The feature, which is recommended from CinemAddicts hosts Bruce Purkey and Eric Holmes, features Esmeralda Camargo in her debut role.
It will be hard to find a more intriguing film, storywise at least, opening this weekend. Good Boy centers on a woman named Sigrid (Katrine Lovise Øpstad Fredriksen) who seemingly finds the man of her dreams in Christian (Gard Løkke). The catch is Christian has a man who acts like a dog in his domicile. Fredriksen, Løkke and filmmaker Viljar Bøe talked about the intricacies behind Good Boy.
Michael Fassbender utters “stick to the plan” multiple times in The Killer teaser trailer. Maybe it will catch on like director David Fincher’s most popular Se7en line (“what’s in the box”). Se7en screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker co-writes The Killer with Alexis Nolent for Fincher’s latest movie. Check out the teaser and share your thoughts!
Filmmaker Maximilian Erlenwein’s feature The Dive centers on May (Louisa Krause) and Drew (Sophie Lowe), sisters who go diving in a remote area. Their bonding event leads to danger as May is trapped underwater by a rock. This harrowing thriller was shot sans the reliance of CGI (except a rock falling sequence). Along with the challenge of shooting practical effects, finding experienced divers as the leads was not possible! Erlenwein talked about his first rate feature, which is now playing in theaters and available everywhere you rent movies.
It Lives Inside, directed and penned by Bishal Dutta, centers on Sam (Never Have I Ever’sMegan Suri), a girl who is trying to fit in at school. Rejecting her Indian culture may be a big regret when a mythical demonic spirit invades the body of her former best friend. This is Dutta’s big screen directing debut, and the second trailer shows the demonic spirit at work.
Now out in theaters and availanble on Digital and On Demand, Dead Shotcenters on an retired Irish paramilitary (Colin Morgan) who seeks revenge on the SAS officer (Aml Ameen) who accidentally killed his wife. Brothers Thomas and Charles Guard wrote and directed the first rate feature. They have not directed a movie together since 2009’s underrated psychological thriller The Uninvited, and Dead Shot is a worthy follow up. The filmmakers talked to CinemAddicts co-host Eric Holmes about their latest movie.
Writer/director Alan Maxson’s new movie Alien Planetis now out on streaming and Blu-ray. Crowdfunding along with support from his loved ones and colleagues led to a $70,000 budget. Half of it went to the practical special effects from the project, which led to little pay for the cast and crew. How does a filmmaker lead an indie filmmaking team with a low budget? The answer, as the cliche goes, is to lead by example.
An action adventure thriller from Iceland is something you don’t see in theaters every week. Operation Napoleon, based on the international bestseller from crime novelist Arnaldur Indriðason, fits that bill. For director Óskar Thór Axelsson, shooting the picture was not a day in the park.
