Cyberattacks are common happenings. Some are more serious than others but with more and more devices connected to the web and more and more people able and willing to hack them, the fear of a full out cyberwar is not a futuristic "what-if" scenario but rather a very realistic question of "when."
In AFK_, actor/writer/director Tyler Hanes considers the role of one hacker at the beginning of a cyberwar. The movie stars Hanes as the hacker and Canadian stalwart Rob Stewart as the arresting officer who is trying to get to the bottom of the hacker's involvement in the still hypothetical war. What he doesn't realize is that the war has already been set into motion and he's too late to stop it.

Backcountry
Directed by Adam MacDonald
Written by Adam MacDonald
2014, USA
Backcountry is the Candy Crush of the horror movie genre: it’s a well executed, well directed contemporary horror film, that’s enjoyable and re-watchable despite its flaws.
Backcountry (also known as Blackfoot Trail) is the debut feature film from the talented Adam MacDonald, best known for his years of work as a television actor. The film tells the story of a couple who leave the comforts of city life to venture deep into the Canadian hinterlands. However, what they find on their journey challenges both their relationship and their very lives.
Featuring a mostly Canadian cast and crew, writer and director MacDonald crafts a conventional horror film that’s quite good for a directorial debut. Considering that Macdonald shot Backcountry in only a few weeks and on a shoestring budget, it excels technically, is easy to follow, and tells...

No matter what you walk away thinking of writer/director Adam MacDonald's feature directorial debut Backcountry, you are sure to have been chilled by his menacing use of sound as a couple find themselves lost in the Canadian wilderness. For the sake of complete transparency, I watched the film in a manner MacDonald would most likely frown upon -- on my computer via a screener link -- but with a pair of headphones cranked up I have to admit the salivary grumble of a hungry bear outside the couple's tent, separated by only a thin layer of nylon, was incredibly unsettling. In fact, sound plays a massive role throughout the film to the point a helicopter is heard but not seen, though you have no doubt it was actually there. Where Backcountry struggles, however, is in its story as it stretches, and stretches, and stretches to meet its 92 minute running time.
