Every serial killer has a motive to kill, right? In the movie Gacy: Serial Killer Next Door, we follow the infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy, played by Mike Korich. Gacy has a disturbing pattern: he dresses up in a clown costume and then strangles his victims to death. While his exact motive isn’t clear, we can see that Gacy has massive anger issues and a strong need to control others. His crimes came to light when he murdered a 19-year-old boy and many more in his hometown, leading to his arrest. However, Gacy was released from prison and, three years later, moved to a new place with his mother to start a new life. But we see how he can’t let go of old habits that easily. Even though he pretends to be the do-gooder in the neighborhood, a boy named Bobby (Mason McNulty), who lives across from his home,...

Westerns seem to be popping up all over the Dtv and VOD markets in the last year or so. From Hell on the Border, Righteous Blood and the upcoming Apache Junction to western/horror hybrids like The Pale Door and Skinwalker, it seems the Old West is new again. Catch the Bullet is a new one written by Jerry Robbins and directed by Michael Feifer. Should you catch it? Or dodge a bullet and watch something else?
Marshal Britt MacMaster, played by the late Jay Pickett and to whom the film is dedicated, has just gunned down a bank robber and his two accomplices. For the three months it took to track them, his father is watching his twelve-year-old son Chad.
When he finally returns he finds...

"Let's play catch the bullet." Lionsgate has released an official trailer for a direct-to-dvd quality western called Catch the Bullet, from a filmmaker you've never heard of before named Michael Feifer (you don't want to look up the films he's made before this). The story sounds like pretty much every other western as well. A US Marshal, aided by an Indian scout and a bigoted town deputy, ride into hostile territory to rescue his kidnapped son from an outlaw gang lead by a psychopathic killer. I'm already bored just typing that out. Catch the Bullet co-stars the late Jay Pickett, who tragically passed away a few weeks ago at age 60 while filming Treasure Valley in Idaho. The film also stars Tom Skerritt, Peter Facinelli, Gattlin Griffith, Mason McNulty, and Tucson Vernon Walker. This is undoubtedly some direct-to-video junk, not only uninteresting but entirely derivative, with nothing much to offer besides...

The second dictionary entry for assimilate is the most appropriate one for this movie. It says ‘regard as similar, liken’. And in Assimilate we see three friends making a web series about their town discover that their neighbours are being killed and replaced by creatures who are perfect copies of their victims. Seemingly the perfect story for some sci-fi horror.
This relatively low budget affair managed to get a good cast line-up for its lead roles. The three young characters are played by Joel Courtney, maybe best known for his first film role Super 8,; Calum Worthy, who was insanely good in one of my favourite films of the last few years Bodied and since went on to star...

This weekend will be a little more retro and lo-fi with the release of Oscilloscope Laboratories’ forthcoming comedy VHYes from writer and director Jack Henry Robbins. In limited release, the pic is a new take on the found footage genre — and it’s all shot entirely on VHS.
For those of you who aren’t familiar, VHS is a form of media that was developed in the late ’70s and grew increasingly popular in the ’80s. It’s like streaming, but all in a clunky black plastic case that you insert in a machine and it plays on your television. It’s like a video with a retro Instagram filter.
VHYes follows 12-year-old Ralph (Mason McNulty) mistakenly records home videos and his favorite late-night shows over his parents’ wedding tape. The result is a nostalgic wave of vignettes of home shopping clips, censored pornography, dramas, music, horror and nefarious true-crime...

Its slim premise involving a couple of 13-year-old boys having fun with a camcorder in the late ’80s, “VHYes” is maybe a little too faithful to their sensibility — being exactly what a kid raised on “Saturday Night Live,” “Sctv,” and maybe cable broadcasts of “Kentucky Fried Movie” would imagine as the coolest home-made movie ever. It’s a freeform jumble of skits spoofing vintage broadcast series, commercials, public access shows, porn, and whatnot, their mildly surreal bent increasing as the short feature goes on.
Duly shot on VHS and digital Betacam, this first feature for Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon’s son Jack Henry Robbins is an amiable goof deploying cameos by the ’rents as well as some other familiar faces. But it’s the kind of enterprise that will only seem as funny, clever, and “weird” as it means to be if watched while very stoned and/or adolescent.

It's Christmas Day, 1987, and 12-year-old Ralph (Mason McNulty) has been given a VHS camcorder. We follow him over the days between Christmas and New Year's, catching snippets of his life through the Pov of his new camera, as he unknowingly tapes over footage of his parents' wedding and occasionally records scenes directly from late night cable TV.
Jack Henry Robbins' VHYes is at once a nostalgic reflection of a bygone era of analogue TV and video, and a rather demented and surreal dark comedy. The domesticity of Ralph's life - hanging out with his best friend Josh (Rahm Braslaw), recording himself playing music and with his dinosaur toys, occasionally spying on his parents - is contrasted by the bizarre array of television shows into which he tunes every night.

VHYes is a terrible title for a very cool and misleadingly smart and innovative movie. The film was directed by Jack Henry Robbins, the son of Susan Sarandon and Tim Roberts, both cult movie icons. Sarandon for her turns in Pretty Baby and the absolute pinnacle of midnight movies, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Roberts, to me for his Jacob in the dread film masterpiece Jacob's Ladder, but at the very least for Tapeheads, a film about the video industry itself, or Howard the Duck. VHYes is an exciting return to the true cult films of decades ago. But you have to get past the title. That could also be a point.

There’s no denying that the invention of VHS was one of the most culturally impactful things to happen in the 20th century. For the average consumer, VHS made it possible to store media easily whether it was buying a film or using a Vcr to record TV shows. And with the introduction of VHS camcorders, people could record and store away their own memories in an accessible, cost-friendly fashion. The rapid evolution of technology in the 40+ years since the birth of VHS makes it all look clunky and rudimentary now, but the “simpler times” of the past have led to a nostalgia for the ‘80s and ‘90s in today’s pop culture. Jack Henry Robbins’ VHYes is another addition to the pile of current media taking a wistful look back to the days of analog, using a sparse narrative to cobble together comedy skits with mixed results.

Shot entirely on VHS tape, VHYes trailer promises stranger things from the 80s.
Before the internet, strangely personal celluloid was created on video tapes. Videodrome from 1983 is a frighteningly prescient film if you replace the VHS aspect with the dark web. By the 90s whole films were being shot on Betamax and VHS camcorders. Directed by Jack Henry Robbins, VHYes is a retro comedy of this period which was shot entirely on VHS.
VHYes is a genre-spanning, anthology comedy like Groove Tube, Kentucky Fried Movie and Tunnel Vision. The largely ignored 1979 film Mr. Mike's Mondo Video, from National Lampoon Radio Hour and Saturday Night Live alumnus Michael O'Donoghue, opened with a warning that the film the audience was about to see was shocking and repugnant beyond belief. They advised older people with heart conditions be moved closer to the screen. The director also said children of an...

An official selection at Fantastic Fest and a Kickstarter success story, Oscilloscope Laboratories picked up VHYes, a charmingly sincere nostalgic ode to the 1980s VHS craze. Jack Henry Robbins’ film, which opens on January 12 at select Alamo Drafthouses then wider on January 17, is impressively shot entirely on VHS and Betacam and now the first trailer has landed.
The retro comedy follows the exploits of the young Ralph (Mason Mcnulty) who mistakenly records home videos and late-night shows over his parent’s wedding tape. Hilarity naturally ensues in this Charlie Kaufman-esqe comedy.
Virginia Yapp in her review from Crooked Marquee lauded the film, “I didn’t expect a film that derives so much humor from combative QVC presenters and Skinemax-style erotica to leave me so teary-eyed (and so thankful to have found a working Vcr a few months back),”

"This is the beginning of the fall of mankind." Oscilloscope Labs has debuted an official trailer for VHYes, described as a "bizarre retro comedy" made by filmmaker Jack Henry Robbins. Shot entirely on VHS and Beta, the feature film follows 12-year-old Ralph as he accidentally records home videos and his favorite late night shows over his parents' wedding tape. What a concept. "A hypnotic narrative told through hundreds of criss-crossing vignettes and a mix of absurdist comedy, sincere drama, music, and just a touch of horror, this wholly original feature debut expertly walks the fine line between complete lunacy and total sincerity." It sounds super weird, but also kind of fun to watch. Starring Mason McNulty as Ralph. Press play below.

One of the more bonkers films out of Fantastic Fest was Jack Henry Robbins’ celebration of VHS culture, VHYes (2019).
Shot entirely on VHS and Beta, the film takes place over a week in the life of 12-year-old Ralph (Mason McNulty) when his family gets a brand new camcorder for Christmas. Ralph is fascinated by their new acquisition, particularly when he learns that the camera can be connected to the TV to record television programming. He grabs the first tape he can find (which happens to be his parents’ wedding video) and sets to work documenting his crazy misadventures, as well as the wonders of 1980s cable TV.
The television portions are presented as a late-night channel surf, cutting back and forth between shows and grabbing the occasional commercial. It’s here that the film’s talented comedic cast really shines. From Thomas Lennon as an overenthusiastic QVC host to Kerri Kenney...

We’ve got a fun trailer for a new sci-fi horror film to share with you today for a movie called Assimilate. The story centers around three friends who are making a web series about their small town, and in the process they find that their neighbors are being killed and replaced by creatures who can become perfect copies of their victims.
The movie comes from director John Murlowski and it seems like a mix of film like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Species. Here’s the synopsis:
In Assimilate, best friends Zach (Joel Courtney), Randy (Calum Worthy), and Kayla (Andi Matichak) discover that their neighbors are being killed and replaced by perfect copies of their victims. Their only chance to survive is to covertly record the invasion in a desperate attempt to warn the world.

"First they bite you, and then they turn into you." Gravitas Ventures has debuted an official trailer for an indie sci-fi horror titled Assimilate, also known as Replicate, from filmmaker John Murlowski. The film is about three friends making a web series about their small town who discover that their neighbors are being killed and replaced by creatures who are perfect copies of their victims. Sounds creepy - a bit like Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets Species, something like that. Starring Joel Courtney, Calum Worthy, Andi Matichak, Katherine McNamara, Cam Gigandet, Mason McNulty, Terry Dale Parks, Vito Viscuso, and Jennifer Pierce Mathus. This looks horrific.
