The TV series based on The Last Days of Jack Sparks will follow a pop culture journalist and supernatural sceptic who is making a documentary about the occult.

In Black Mirror’s official companion book, creator Charlie Brooker explains the title of season four episode Crocodile…
"Crocodile," starring Andrea Riseborough and directed by The Road's John Hillcoat is a wickedly dark episode of Black Mirror. Chilling, violent and horribly funny, in a very simple way, it's the story of a woman trying to suppress past guilt and failing.
What though, does its story have to do with its title? It’s been a subject of debate among Black Mirror fans since season four was released. After all, unlike a certain Guinea Pig, the animal doesn’t feature in the episode, nor is its relevance explained in dialogue.
Theories abound – some say it’s to do with the concept of crocodile tears, or crocodile file (a straight line of one consequence leading fatefully to the next), or a reference to "The Crocodile’s Dilemma" episode of the Fargo TV series…...

We’ll also discuss the game theory of misdirecting your audience and compare the isolation of Ex Machina to Garland’s other scripts.

In the world's never-ending quest to confuse us as much as possible, two new horror flicks are under way with the same title, Safari. The good news? They couldn't be more different. Read on for the details regarding both of them.
Last week Bloody Disgusting dropped the news that Safari, a found-footage thriller, was gearing up to start shooting on October 15th in Johannesburg, South Africa. Directed by Academy Award nominee Darrell Roodt (Little One, Yesterday) and written by Dark Was The Night scribe Tyler Hisel, the pedigree is right for this one to be a cut above.
That film “centers on a band of American tourists, stranded and hunted in the heart of the South African wilderness. Their struggle to survive the elements and the vicious predators lurking the African plain is documented by the video cameras meant to record their vacation.” Rocky Myers (Vamp U) and Kim Argetsinger...

The writer of Stormhouse and the director of Truth or Die are coming together for Safari, a horror-adventure film currently in pre-production.
In the film, "two young couples head off on a safari in the wilds of southern Africa but their dream trip turns into a nightmare as nature bites back."
Roberth Heath will direct from a script by Jason Arnopp. The film is going to get a push at the American Film Market later this month.

In 2002, 11 months before the invasion of Iraq, the military captured and imprisoned a supernatural entity at Stormhouse, a secret underground base. This film documents the final four days of that experiment. ‘Ghost whisperer’ Hayley Sands is brought to Stormhouse by the government to make contact with the captured entity. Her arrival triggers a series of events which lead to the entity’s escape, plunging the base into a horrific nightmare.
Originally screened at 2011′s London Film4 Frightfest, Stormhouse is very much like a supernatural version of The Thing but with the budget of an episode of Dr. Who – and that’s not actually a bad thing! Penned by the UK’s very own Jason Arnopp, who previously wrote a couple of Doctor Who audiobooks for the BBC and Big Finish, the film is an enjoyable modern ghost story, complete with some very eerie sequences (including a spooky use for a...

Stormhouse
Stars: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters, Grahame Fox, Patrick Flynn | Written by Jason Arnopp | Directed by Dan Turner
It’s 2002, some eight months before the (second) invasion of Iraq, and the military have captured and caged a supernatural entity at Stormhouse, a top secret underground military installation. Looking to make contact with the entity, they bring in “ghost whisperer” Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn). After witnessing the facilities so-called experiments, Sands realises that the military in Stormhouse are a law unto themselves and tries to blow the whistle. When her actions are uncovered by the soldiers running Stormhouse they punish her by throwing her into the cage where the entity is kept, and that’s when everything goes to hell – literally.

Director: Dan Turner.
Writers: Jason Arnopp.
Cast: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters and Patrick Flynn.
Political agendas are at work in Stormhouse. In an underground bunker, the military has managed to cage a supernatural entity and although the reasons why are never fully revealed, the idea is that they want to tame the savage beast. The generals want to use this entity in its war on terror. This movie takes place many months before the invasion of Iraq.
Otherwise, why else would the armed forces want it? Just what is this covert group of military minds thinking? They recruit a ghost whisperer, Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn), to make a contact with this untamed force. But since she is a civilian, she is not going to be an obedient soldier. While this type of plotting is nothing new, the attempt at mind washing is intriguing, if not terrifying for those looking for secret messages.

It's been strange to watch so many people and publications succumb "Downton Abbey" frenzy in the last two months. There are still things I love about the PBS drama, which concluded Sunday, but it's weird that "Downton"-mania swept the land just as it became clear that Season 2 was not as good as Season 1.
As I said in my review of Season 2, I thought the first half of the season was almost unbearably choppy and badly paced, but things smoothed out a bit as the season progressed, and I very much enjoyed the season finale that aired Sunday night. It was the most satisfying "Downton" outing of the year, and I wonder if that's because it was conceived of as a Christmas special that aired in the U.K. a couple of months after the regular season ended. Obviously it was strongly linked to what came before, but almost functioned as a standalone movie,...

The supernatural feature Stormhouse is set for its U.S. premiere at the Screamfest La Film Festival on Saturday, October 22nd, and in honor of the occasion we spoke with the film's writer Jason Arnopp and director Dan Turner.
Penned by Arnopp and produced by he and Dean Fisher with directorial duties handled by Turner, Stormhouse stars Katie Flynn (daughter of Jane Seymour), Grahame Fox, Patrick Flynn and Grant Masters. The film's synopsis is as follows: Six months before the invasion of Iraq, the British military caught and imprisoned a supernatural entity at a secret base in the English countryside. This film documents the days that followed, culminating in a battle that transcends their worst nightmares.
Filmed last year, director Turner told us of the Stormhouse production, “The whole turnaround from script to screen was very, very fast. We had the idea in May 2010, and by August 2010 we were shooting.

A low budget British horror set almost entirely in an underground bunker, inside of which the army have captured a supernatural entity and are holding it in a kind of Emp Faraday cage. An American woman who claims to have psychic powers visits the bunker and tries to make contact with the creature, which has begun to penetrate the field and find ways to posses the soldiers and scientists, playing malevolent games and generally adding to the air of cabin fever.
The first words on my notes for this films simply say, "Oh dear." It's hard not to notice the low budget immediately, as well as the patchy acting and very simple, slightly wonky script, all of which sadly make Stormhouse a bit of a clunker. I can't really fault any...

Written by Jason Arnopp and directed by Dan Turner (Girl Number 9), Stormhouse stars Katherine Flynn, Martin Delaney, Frankie Fitzgerald, Andrew Hall, Grant Masters, James Capel, Munir Khairdin and Grahame Fox.
In 2002, eight months before the invasion of Iraq, the Military captured and imprisoned a supernatural entity at Stormhouse, a secret underground base. This film documents the final four days of that experiment. ‘Ghost whisperer’ Hayley Sands (Flynn) is brought to Stormhouse by the Government to make contact with the captured entity. But her arrival triggers a series of events which lead to the entity’s escape, plunging the base into a horrific nightmare.
As we reported yesterday, Stormhouse will premiere at the 65th Edinburgh International Film Festival in June, before being unleashed nationwide later in the year.
