Darkroom stars Kaylee DeFer as Michelle, a woman trapped by her past and also trapped by several malefactors. Told with mystery, this film has a very compelling story, which develops both the protagonist and three antagonists. Darkroom is one of the more satisfying indie features this viewer has seen this year. The story begins, but does not end, with Michelle. She is in rehab, after a devastating car accident. Three of her friends were burned alive in the wreck and she was the only one who survived. Now,...

In Darkbound, a new horror novel by Michaelbrent Collings, six strangers board a New York subway, each bound for a different destination. It is early in the day and, since none of the others are open, the six people end up on the same car. They are all different: an old latina grandmother, a plain white guy, a gangbanger, a lawyer-looking woman, and an army-type guy. Little do they realize that they have just boarded a different kind of train, one that doesn't travel to any location on the subway line. The passengers are soon fighting to survive while also trying to figure out how to escape the train.
Darkbound is a typical survival story with some supernatural elements. The reader is introduced to a group of characters who are thrown into a perilous situation. Right off the bat, it's apparent that something isn't quite right.

Darkrooms are generally used in photography, but not here. In Britt Napier's film, a darkroom is used to "reveal secrets." The character Michelle (Kaylee DeFer) has killed three of her friends in a horrifying car accident, which leaves her visibly shaken. And now, someone wants revenge! Darkroom is currently at the American Film Market. This title will have its World Premiere at this event November 1st. This film will then, hopefully, find a release date so horror fans can uncover Michelle's secrets too. Premiere Date: November 1st (World Premiere). Director: Britt Napier. Writer: Michaelbrent Collings. Cast: Kaylee DeFer, Elisabeth Röhm, Christian Campbell, Tobias Segal, and Steve Stanulis. The film's official trailer is here: *this is the directors first feature film.

*spoilers are below! Director: Andrew Currie. Writers: Michaelbrent Collings. Cast: Jody Thompson, Conner Dwelly, Ryan Grantham, and Eric McCormack. Tagline: "Lock your doors." Something, somewhere went wrong with the film Barricade. A lighting guy was fired or writer Michaelbrent Collings' script was not given a thorough read by someone. Because, this title seems to flip-flop about what its central conflict actually is. Also, this movie is overly dark. Whole sets and characters are hidden in shadows and hopefully, this technique was not intentional. Overall, Barricade is a lackluster showing with Eric McCormack's performance one of the few redeemable qualities in the film. The story involves a silly plot device, a fever. The film will try to make it seem like there is an external threat. But, the shady images and strange cuts are being caused by a high temperature. The big plot twist in Barricade is revealed! Turn the lights on already!

Barricade
Directed by Andrew Currie
Screenplay y Michaelbrent Collings
2012, USA
WWE, or World Wrestling Entertainment, isn’t just about wrestling anymore, as evidenced by their frequent forays into film producing over the last few years. They’ve ramped up their movie distribution with WWE Studios; last month, their film The Day was released, the first from WWE to not feature any WWE wrestlers. This week, their newest film, Barricade, comes out direct to DVD, with an impressive, cool-sounding, and eye-catching cover using technology called the Augmented Reality experience, meant to bring the intensity of the film to life.
Eric McCormack, of Will and Grace and the current TNT drama Perception, stars in Barricade as Terrance Shade, who’s trying to balance his professional life as a psychiatrist and personal life as a widowed father. He and his kids decide to spend the holidays in a mountain cabin, to both get...

Way back in early 2011, it was revealed Andrew Currie - who previously gave us the amusing zom-com Fido - was attached to a thriller entitled Barricade.
He directed the pic for WWE Studios (See No Evil) in Vancouver with Eric McCormack (Will & Grace) starring alongside Jody Thompson, Ryan Grantham and Conner Dwelly.
McCormack plays a widowed psychiatrist who retreats to a cabin in the woods with his kids until they come under siege by "unknown forces."
Michaelbrent Collings scripted the story and it appears the film is all wrapped up and ready for promotion as a poster has found its way online. No word yet on a release date, but we'll keep you posted. Head inside for a larger look at the one-sheet.
