The Lost Episode
Stars: Haylie Duff, Beverley Mitchell, Michael Rooker, Amanda Dunn, J. Larose, Jimmy Palumbo, Michael McKiddy | Written by Joe Nelms, Sue Bailey, John Cody Fasano | Directed by Michael Rooker
I’m not sure how many times I’ve had to type a review about a horror based in an abandoned asylum where a film crew were making a show but mysteriously disappeared but yes, I’m typing it again. It’s typical that this one would appear with the very apt name of… The Lost Episode (aka Pennhurst if you want to use its original title). Directed and starring Michael Rooker this of course gets the attention of horror fans, but can this film get survive the curse of the asylum horrors not named Session 9?
When a mother turns up at an abandoned asylum looking for her missing son a security guard agrees to search for him,...

The Regal Cinema in Melton Mowbray is an elegant building with a proud history as one of England's foremost independent cinemas. It ran for many years under the devoted care of local businessman John Merryweather but following his death in April its future has been in doubt. Now a group of local campaigners have come together to try and save it - even if they have to run it themselves.
"It's a lovely 1920s Art Deco building, recently refurbished and really nice," local resident Sue Bailey told Eye For Film. "I wrote a letter to the local paper saying it was such a shame it had to close and I said, how about we come together and try to run it as a community enterprise - we, the people of Melton Mowbray? To my surprise the paper printed my full letter and over the next week there was a huge response.

This is a story which came out earlier this weekend on an independent production called Pennhurst; it is worth repeating. Michael Rooker (Atlantis Down) will direct his first feature while starring with Beverley Mitchell (Saw II) and Haylie Duff ("Fear Island"). The film has been budgeted at 100K, with Primary Pictures anchoring the project. The film is in the early stages, but a concept poster can be seen left along with an official website below (Bloody Disgusting).
The synopsis for Pennhurst:
"For decades, Pennhurst psychiatric hospital has been haunted by turbulent supernatural forces. When a local TV show embarks on a mission to capture this paranormal activity, they discover something completely unexpected. As restless souls from the past torment the crew members, they fear for their lives as one by one they are gruesomely murdered. In a surprising revelation, they discover something more terrifying than ghosts is responsible.
