Are you ready to delve into one of the most shocking stories of the last ten years?
Lifetime is giving the Murdaugh Murders the movie treatment.
We've known that much since the cabler dropped its ripped from the headlines fall slate earlier this year.
Now, we have our first glimpse at Bill Pullman playing Alex Murdaugh.
Murdaugh Murders: The Movie will air in two parts on October 14 and October 15, exclusively on the cabler.
The flick follows "the twisted true story of Alex Murdaugh, who was found guilty in the double homicide of his wife, Maggie, and his son, Paul," the logline teases.
"For over 100 years, the wealthy and powerful Murdaugh Family were a local dynasty in the South Carolina low country, where they oversaw the prosecution of all criminal cases in the state's 14th circuit district."
"But behind all the power, black ties, and fancy dresses, Alex had many secrets…...

When I was a senior in high school, I saw "District 9" for the first time in my English class. It definitely wasn't something I foresaw us doing at the beginning of the school year, but I remember my teacher being so happy about its inclusion in the Best Picture race that she felt it was her duty to show the insightful film to the class. "District 9" is an incredible film for a multitude of reasons, but one that stands out — alongside its story of acceptance — is the movie's motion capture work.
Motion capture artists carry a different skill set than typical actors, and their work is often what makes films really shine. /Film's Andrew Housman recently spoke with actor Donovan Stinson, who did the motion capture work for one of the alien characters in "District 9," and it turns out that the actor didn't even know what he was filming while shooting it.

Any digital artist well-versed in motion capture technology knows that a successful session relies on the performance of the actor. Donavon Stinson has been a witness and participant in the journey of motion capture since its explosion in popularity starting at the turn of the millennium, acting in an extensive list of film and video game productions that includes "District 9," "The Lord of the Rings" video games, and the "Mass Effect" series. The actor's live-action credits include Lifetime series "UnREAL," Shudder's zombie comedy "Dead Shack," and Nickelodeon's revival of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", among others.
I got the opportunity to talk with Stinson about his career, covering how much work goes into mo-cap performances, how filmmakers and creative directors work with actors on motion capture sets, and how the technology is ever-evolving. The discussion made it clear that acting for motion capture is a lot more...

Never underestimate a trio of curious teens…. Tough girl Summer, her smartmouth younger brother Colin and his pushover best friend Jason find themselves in a cottage in the woods when the siblings’ dad and his girlfriend take them on a low-budget getaway. As the adults get drinking, the kids go exploring and come across a ramshackle house in the woods where they witness their neighbour serving up a couple local yokels to her hungry, undead, brood. When she discovers the intruders, they become next on the menu.

Sometimes, charm is enough to get a movie across the finish line. It may not all work, the whole may be less than the sum of the parts, but if there’s enough charm to it all, we audiences will tend to overlook some of the more obvious issues and give ourselves over to a film. We like to be charmed.
Dead Shack, the Canadian horror comedy directed by Peter Ricq, is a charming movie. The pieces don’t always fit, the jokes sometimes miss their mark, the horror elements can be clumsy, but the film holds together on the basis of charm. This is a likable movie with a likable cast, and by 2017 the zombie comedy is as breezy and recognizable a genre as the standard rom-com. Because I demand little from these movies, it’s easier for them to surprise me. I don’t know that I would call Dead Shack “surprising,...

Dead Shack
This is a decent zombie horror-comedy from multitalented director Peter Ricq. While on vacation, three kids discover a nearby neighbor is harboring her undead family who need to be fed, and they have to save their unsuspecting parental guardians. It’s kind of a tourist trap led up by Lauren Holly as the neighbor. There’s some good humor from the father Roger (Donavon Stinson) who’s got good timing even if those around him don’t. He was the highlight for me, while the kids were all decent as well.
This is a fun little zombie flick, offering up cute comedy and decent gore effects, but it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. The biggest problem for me was a tonal shift; what’s relatively lighthearted for 90% of the movie is heavily marred by a shockingly grim finale. Worth a look for fans of the genre,...

I like when a director knows what he/she wants from his/her film — even if the goal is to entertain on a level that ensures its legacy falls short of cinematic greatness. Some of my favorite movies are those that demand to be re-watched not for comprehension’s sake or to acknowledge metaphor underneath formal expertise, but because they’re fun. Horror/comedy is ripe for delivering exactly that result with its ability for work to simultaneously excel as an example of the genre’s common tropes and a subversion of them. Director Peter Ricq knows this and decides to lay everything on the line with cowriters Phil Ivanusic and Davila LeBlanc in Dead Shack. They clearly separate good and evil, letting each loose within a contained setting to battle to the death.
So they start things off with a rousing prologue playing with the zombie motif as lark before revealing it as truth.

American comedy Reaper was the slacker Supernatural. With great writing, great jokes and Ray Wise, what more could you want?
At the time of writing, the American television networks’ ‘fall’ season of 2015 is a month or so around the corner. It’s still a month until Doctor Who comes back, and worryingly close to that time of the year when The X-Factor is gobbling up Saturday nights around the UK. Essentially, we reckon you could be looking for a new show to binge-watch right about now.
To help you out, the Article Ideas Team here at Geek Towers fired up their Underappreciated TV Shows That Need More Love Machine (patent pending) and cooked you up a recommendation - Reaper.

Despite valiantly fighting off the "evil" ratings juggernaut known as American Idol, it looks like Sam and friends have lost the battle. Reaper has been cancelled by the CW network.
Revolving around a young slacker whose parents have sold his soul to the devil, Reaper showcases the talents of actors like Bret Harrison, Tyler Labine, Rick Gonzalez, Missy Peregrym, Ray Wise, Andrew Airlie, Valerie Rae Miller, Donavon Stinson, Christine Willes, Allison Hossack, Ken Marino, and Jessica Stroup.
Once expected to be a breakout hit of the 2007-08 season, the series averaged just 2.7 million viewers and a 1.2/3 rating/share of the 18-49 demographic. It was renewed for a second year but the network delayed it until mid-season and then scheduled it opposite American Idol.
Initially, the show did pretty well but then the numbers began to erode. As a result, the CW network has terminated the series after two short seasons.

A few months ago, the CW announced that Reaper would return on March 17th at 9pm. They've now announced that the show will return even earlier, on March 3rd at 8pm. Great news, right? More than likely it's a nail in the show's coffin.
Reaper centers around Sam Oliver (Bret Harrison), a slacker who works at a home-repair superstore alongside friends Sock (Tyler Labine) and Ben (Rick Gonzalez). Sam's life gets turned upside down when he learns that his parents sold his soul to the devil (Ray Wise). As a result, he has to work as a bounty hunter to recapture evil souls. This puts a serious crimp in his efforts to date his crush, Andi (Missy Peregrym). Others in the series include Andrew Airlie, Donavon Stinson, Valarie Rae Miller, Christine Willes, Allison Hossack, Ken Marino, Jessica Stroup, Colby Johannson, Michael Ian Black, Kandyse McClure, and Eriko Tamura.
