Stars: Michelle Mylett, Stephen Bogaert, Josette Halpert, Samuel Faraci, Jake Michaels, Kassandra Santos, Kristina Nicoll | Written by Chad Archibald, Cody Calahan, Jeff Maher | Directed by Cody Calahan
Years after having her newborn child stolen from her, Sam searches a world infested with infected users from the Social Redroom website. After befriending a young girl named Bean, Sam is captured and locked in a facility dedicated to finding a cure for the Redroom virus. Trapped and tortured, Sam tries to escape the facility before an impending update on the Redroom site hits 100% and unleashed its final phase of attack…
Despite the open(ish) ending of the first Antisocial, when this sequel was announced I did wonder in just what direction Chad Archibald, Cody Calahan and the Black Fawn Films crew would take the film. After all, the original film was a one location, claustrophic horror flick that – I thought – had a finite story.

A killer stalks a group of party goers who are throwing a Halloween bash inside a deserted department store.
Frustrating addition to the Halloween horror movie sub-genre has some good ideas, but fails to execute those good ideas in a meaningful way. Black Eve takes place on Halloween, but the story could have token place on any other day of the year, because Black Eve fails to do anything that properly pays tribute to the holiday. Veronika London's character is a take charge, pregnant nun out for a good time. This character should have made for a devilishly good time, right? Wrong, because her screen time is so limited and she isn't given much of anything to do. There's some stylish camera work here and there. Too bad it isn't more evident throughout the entire film.

All you gorehounds north of the Border, do yourselves a favor and clear your calendars for this weekend, starting tomorrow, August 25 through August 28. If you haven't yet made plans to be at The Toronto Convention Center to attend the 2011 Fan Expo Canada/Rue Morgue Festival of Fear, don't worry; there's still time. And Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada is about to give you some additional motivation.
Let's start with the featured guests Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada is boasting. Legendary veteran of Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss and Bereavement (and that barely scratches the surface) Michael Biehn will be on hand. Promoting Monster Brawl will be well-traveled Canadians Art Hindle (Black Christmas) and from 300, Robert Maillet (that would be Kurrgan for all you WWE fans).
And speaking of the WWE, what Canadian convention would be complete without Ms. Stratusfaction herself, Trish Stratus. Trish will be on hand to promote Bounty Hunters.

Canadian independent filmmaker Morgan Muscat (Severance, The Devil Walks Among You) has announced that he will write and produce a new short film for his Moonlit Road Entertainment banner, with principal photography slated to begin next summer in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The film, entitled Suffer The Little Children, is an adaptation of a Stephen King short story from the author's Nightmares and Dreamscapes collection. Ryan M. Andrews is set to direct this adaptation.
The film tells the story of an elderly elementary school teacher who begins to suspect that aliens are slowly taking over the bodies of her students. Is her attempt to save them an amazing act of courage, or a fatal trick of the mind? Muscat obtained the rights from King earlier this year and has since written two drafts of the script, which he calls "a tense, nerve-shattering story that will stick true to King's work". The...

Black Eve is a Canadian produced horror film that is now finished with shooting and just getting ready to create dark dreams. The film stars musical artist, producer, and rising actor Neil Green, who was interviewed here (Neil Green Interview). The film will be released on Halloween 2010 and the story is definitely out of someone's nightmare. Character Jewel (Eva James) awakens to find all of her friends dead and Green's character, the Man chasing her through isolated halls and abandoned rooms. Seeing your friends bloody corpses is as nightmarish as dreams come. Also, this is not the type of fantasy you want to fall asleep to, but Black Eve will excite those willing to face the darkness of unknown killers. The first teaser trailer is below and the dialogue is ominously delivered by Green himself as the Man. When is the last time a horror film had a voice-over from the villain?...
