The cast of director Mason Maestro’s new slasher flick "That's a Wrap." has gathered together for the wrap party. As the festivities go on everyone splinters off, to celebrate the flick, but mostly each other. However, they are unaware that the slasher from the movie, The Mistress, has left the screen and will turn the evening into a real-life, bloody nightmare. We are a plus-one in Marcel Walz’s lurid, neon-soaked bloodbath, That’s A Wrap. Walz’s indie slasher film is a silly, self-aware slasher flick that features a lot of hot and steamy action - wink wink nudge nudge - that always leads into deliciously violent murder and mayhem. Why so hot and steamy? That’s A Wrap stars a couple of notable adult-oriented performers....

"I'm not very good with temptation..." Blue Fox Entertainment has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror film titled The Mistress, from filmmaker Greg Pritikin. This premiered at a couple of regional film festivals last year, and will be getting a VOD release at the end of July this summer. Newlyweds move into their dream home where they discover 100-year-old letters from a young woman who committed suicide after being abandoned by the owner. Parker struggles with ghostly disturbances, while Maddie suspects he's hiding something dark from his past. John Magaro co-stars with Chasten Harmon, plus Kat Cunning, Aylya Marzolf, Alexandra Grey, James Carpinello, and Rae Dawn Chong. This looks a bit generic, retreading familiar territory in so many other horror flicks. But at least is has Magaro getting super freaky. // Continue Reading ›...
