When a disturbed young man breaks into the house of a wealthy older gentleman an enlightening conversation takes place and their shared history in uncovered. Actor-turned-filmmaker Erik Odom’s directorial debut Box on the Hill is a compelling piece of horror drama about the consequences of repressed shame. Starring in the film alongside Brian Foyster, Odom brings a tense frailty to his unsettled protagonist whose relationship with Foyster’s character is realised and excavated across a nail-biting conversation between the pair which is shot with a compelling, subtle and deliberate precision. With the short now available to watch online, Dn joined Odom for a comprehensive discussion about his ambitions as a filmmaker, the value he found as an actor/director in setting aside time for rehearsal, and his plans to extend the themes of Box on the Hill into his debut feature.

The pairing of Roger Corman, the 20th century’s king of B-moviemeisters, and the Sci Fi Channel, which doles out cubes of processed cheese week after week, should occur far more often. Not necessarily because their collaborations are that noteworthy, but rather because it seems predestined that these two work together.
The man responsible for The Saga Of The Viking Women And Their Voyage To The Waters Of The Great Sea Serpent (credited here as producer alongside his wife Julie) and the network that churned out S.S. Doomtrooper? They were made for each other, regardless of the results.
And what of these results? The most recent, Cyclops, is about as mixed a bag as they come. With shockingly impressive sets (for this network) and a well-rounded cast, this ancient-Rome-set epic should have been far better than it is—but still earns points for being less mediocre than many of...
