"We must join together to prevent the schemes of evil men." Falling Forward Films has revealed a first look teaser trailer for a long-awaited independent superhero movie called Legend of the White Dragon, the feature directorial debut of "Super Power Beat Down" filmmaker Aaron Schoenke.

Jason David Frank shot to fame portraying the ever-popular Tommy Oliver in the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," which ran from 1993 to 1996. He began the series as The Green Ranger where, under the control of Rita Repulsa, he fights against the rest of the Rangers. However, Oliver is eventually broken free from Repulsa, joins the Power Rangers, and becomes their leader. While all the Power Rangers were popular, Oliver had a far more interesting backstory and complex character arc than the rest of the team, which led to him being a standout favorite among the group.
"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" only lasted for three seasons, but Frank played Oliver countless times throughout his career. Most recently, he joined forces with Bat in the Sun Productions and reprised the role in their 2018 short, "Power Rangers Legacy Wars: Street Fighter Showdown." The film includes tons of nostalgic goodness, including a courageous Oliver, shiny power coins,...

Like a lot of creators, director James Cullen Bressack turned pandemic lemons into lemonade, as in the case of his upcoming movie “Sally Floss: Digital Detective,” which comes out sometime in Summer 2022.
Per the logline, “In response to the financial crisis set forth by Covid-19, a shy teenager starts an internet-based detective agency to save her family home. She solves mysteries through digital footprints, virtual interviews, a brilliant mind, and an inherited intuition she never knew she had.”
Appropriately, “Sally Floss” was directed during the height of the pandemic lockdown, and makes good use of the quarantine lifestyle and its related, restrictive Zoom-eye-view of the world, both in production and in-story. You can see how this plays out in the trailer, exclusive to TheWrap, above right now.
And honestly, with a title as charming as “Sally Floss: Digital Detective,” how can you say no?

Early January is rarely a time for exciting new releases, although this year is slightly different, as the Oscar window has shifted and streaming services offer up their awards contenders. This week, “Herself” and “Pieces of a Woman” make their way from limited theatrical runs to Amazon and Netflix, respectively. And over at Film Movement, Latvian foreign language submission “Blizzard of Souls” kicks off a weekly series of movies competing for the international feature Oscar.
Otherwise, the release calendar reflects the usual January doldrums, made all the more tepid by the lack of schlock horror movies and YA romantic weepies. It won’t surprise many to learn that theatrical releases are slim, although those willing to risk it can watch “CSI” veteran Gary Dourdan play an American war hero tasked with rescuing his pregnant wife from terrorists. By all reports, you don’t need to see this one to guess how it goes.

The past year — and even the events of the past week in this country has been a struggle for a lot of people. More specifically, the pandemic and Covid-19 has claimed the lives of over 360,000 people and there are thousands of families in mourning. They are grieving — and this includes children. The virtual release of Katrine Philp’s documentary, Beautiful Something Left Behind speaks to this exact topic.
Beautiful Something Left Behind was filmed long before the pandemic and debuted at SXSW in 2020 where it won Best Documentary Feature under the title An Elephant in the Room.

"Your heart knows things that your mind can't explain." Samuel Goldwyn Films has unveiled an official trailer for an adorable indie romance titled Stars Fell on Alabama, from filmmaker V.W. Scheich.

When he learns he's the only one of his friends who isn't married with children, he convinces his client, starlet Madison Belle, to pretend to be his girlfriend. But he soon learns that success has different meanings, and romance may be closer than he thinks. Of course. Starring James Maslow and Ciara Hanna, with Jason Burkey, Jaclyn Betham, Lesa Wilson, and Ginny MacColl. This looks like it has some Alabama charm, despite being super cliche.

Director Jared Cohn has been carving something of a name for himself in the direct to DVD market for a good few years now, usually delivering fun low-budget genre films that at least have one great idea on which to hang the film. And Devil’s Revenge is no different.

I’ve got a wild trailer here for you to watch for a supernatural horror action thriller called Devil’s Revenge. The film stars William Shatner, who was the original writer of the script, but the final script is credited to Maurice Hurley (Star Trek: The Next Generation).
The movie follows a down-on-his-luck archaeologist, played by Jason Brooks, who “returns from a cave expedition that contains a cursed relic that’s also a portal to Hell.” In the process he curses his family and the only way to stop the curse is to go back to the cave and destroy the relic.
So, Shatner, Jerry Ryan, and others join him on his journey and they end up battling some horrific demons from hell. This looks like a completely silly film, but it also could be fun to watch. Watch the trailer below and let us know if it’s something...

"I gotta get rid of this curse against our family, otherwise we're never going to be out of danger." An official trailer for an indie low budget horror tilted Devil's Revenge has debuted, which was (apparently) originally written by William Shatner. The final script is credited to Maurice Hurley. This is made by a director who has been making Asylum films for a while, and it definitely has that awful straight-to-bargain-bin look and feel. An archaeologist returns from a cave expedition that contains a cursed relic that's also a portal to Hell. He discovers that the only way to stop the curse on his family is to go back to the cave and destroy the relic. This has some crazy monsters in it, and lots of bad acting. Starring Jeri Ryan, William Shatner, Ciara Hanna, Jason Brooks, Robert Scott Wilson, and Michael Yahn. Take a look below. Here's the official...

Tagline: "Welcome to Hell." A few details have emerged for the horror title Devil's Revenge. Developed by Jared Cohn (The Horde), Devil's Revenge involves an archaeologist's dig and a portal to Hell. Now, the portal can only be closed by destroying an ancient relic. This title stars a few "Star Trek" alumni, including: William Shatner and Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Voyager). Jason Brooks, Ciara Hanna and Jackie Dallas also star. As well, Cleopatra Entertainment has produced this horror film and will distribute it, this October. Cohn has directed a few horror titles, already. This film fan knows Cohn from his work on the action horror title The Horde (2016) and Death Pool (2017).

On this date, Devil's Revenge will be available on Digital platforms, across the United States.

If you haven’t read it yet, check out my review of Pernicious here but not before reading this interview with actress Ciarra Hanna all about the film…
So, first things first, how did you get the gig?
The director emailed me for a meeting, and I read the script and loved it
Did you do Pernicious because it was something totally different from Power Rangers?
I didn’t do the film to do the opposite of Power Rangers. I don’t try and get away from rangers. It’s a part of my life I am very proud of.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by October Coast PR. **there are spoilers here. Director: James Cullen Bressack. Writers: James Cullen Bressack and Taryn Hillin. Cast: Ciara Hanna, Emily O'Brien and Jackie Moore. Pernicious is an indie horror feature from director James Cullen Bressack (Hate Crime). The film's title is synonymous with something that is harmful. And, the film follows several travellers in Thailand and the ghosts they meet. Based in supernatural superstition, Pernicious offers unpolished sound design, including Adr. The film also lifts much of its scares from Asian films of the past, including Ringu (1998) and Ju-on (2002). Though, the term scares is a misnomer as many of the potential horror elements are laughable. Overall, Pernicious is a cliche filled and disappointing indie horror outing. The film begins and stays with a trio of travellers. Alex (Ciarra Hanna) and Rachel (Jackie Moore) are sisters, while Julia (Emily O'Brien) is.

causing insidious harm or ruin; ruinous; injurious; hurtful: pernicious teachings; a pernicious lie. deadly; fatal: a pernicious disease. Obsolete. evil; wicked.
Never has there been a film that so clearly lived up to its dictionary definition as James Cullen Bressack’s Pernicious. The film sees three beautiful girls arrive in Thailand to teach English and have a summer filled with adventure but none were prepared for what awaited them. Their nightmare begins when they trio pick up three strangers in a bar; three strangers who disappear with (seemingly) the girls jewelery and a golden statue that was left to rot in the attic, leaving behind only gore-filled dreams that haunt the girls sleep.
