New science fiction thriller Black Antenna is set against Alice in Chains' Rainier Fog album and goes straight for the teeth.
Black Antenna has come raining down as Alice in Chains reminds us why we even care anymore. With an insistent beat, the Seattle sound pioneers are going where no grunge band has gone before. Alice In Chains released the first two episodes of Black Antenna, a 90 minute science fiction thriller which will be released in 10 segments before coming out as a full movie.
Directed by Adam Mason, written by Paul Sloan and Adam Mason and produced by Elizabeth Mason and Nick Vallelonga, who is coming off Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture Oscars for Green Book, Black Antenna is set against songs from Alice in Chains' sixth studio album Rainier Fog.
Alice in Chains dropped Rainier Fog on August 24, 2018. It is named after Seattle's volcano Mount Rainier.

"There you are... your kind has never come to visit us before." Rock band Alice in Chains has released a full trailer for their new sci-fi film Black Antenna, inspired by their sixth studio album Rainier Fog released last year. The film is a 90-minute feature – but it will initially be released as 10 individual "episodes", which will culminate and connect to create the entire film. Not much is known about Black Antenna – there's no synopsis released, and there's barley any information available online. From the footage in this trailer, a guy seems to pull some weird alien woman out of his stomach. There are shots in this that seem to reference the sci-fi film Under the Skin, in which Scarlett Johansson played an alien creature. Black Antenna stars Eric Michael Cole, Paul Sloan, and Viktoriya Dov, and it's directed by Adam Mason, who has shot a few music videos for Alice in Chains before.

Hangman may be just another down-and-dirty found footage flick at heart, but Adam Mason’s SXSW Midnighter turns the mundane format into a nightmarish invasion of privacy. His killer, whose calling card is that of a noose-tightener, plays the long game here. Action isn’t rushed and pacing is drawn out like taffy, but Mason’s meticulous dissection of a first-hand home invasion works where other equal efforts become dull and gimmicky. Families should feel safe together, but Hangman warps feelings of barricaded tranquility into voyeuristic naughtiness caught on the camera of a reckless stalker. He sees you when your sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, yet the “Hangman” is no Santa Claus – unless you consider backwash in your Oj a present.
Told through the eyes of a mask-wearing figure known as “Hangman” (Eric Michael Cole), we watch helplessly as the crazed psycho torments an unsuspecting family. Aaron (Jeremy Sisto...

I can’t imagine what it must feel like to return home after a family holiday, only to find your house as well as your belongings trashed by an intruder. That’s exactly what happens to Aaron (Jeremy Sisto, Wrong Turn) and Beth (Kate Ashfield, Shaun of the Dead) Miller in Adam Mason’s (Broken) latest thriller, Hangman.
However, unlike most cases, this isn’t the work of a vagrant or thief, this is something much more sinister. You see, the person who broke in to the Miller family home, never left and with the help of cameras set up around the house, he can monitor their every move and eavesdrop on every conversation. What starts as minor interaction such as helping himself to food and the families own toiletries,...

Gia follows the true story of supermodel Gia Carangi (Angelina Jolie) as she quickly rose to the top of the modeling world only to burn out and die tragically young. When she got into the modeling industry, she was an outsider. She was living in a studio apartment with her boyfriend T.J. (Eric Michael Cole) and living on nothing. Everyone at that time was blonde with big hair and big smiles, and Gia swaggered in with her switchblade out and her dark hair sticking up everywhere. She attracted men and women alike, alternating between dark sexuality and a childlike playfulness. Unfortunately, Gia got into the party scene and became heavily addicted to cocaine. She spent all her money on drugs and started lying and stealing from her lover Linda (Elizabeth Mitchell, better known as Juliet from Lost) and her family. She contracted HIV from a dirty needle and died...

Strong acting by a trio of leads and much astute writing and directing from Mark Anthony Galluzzo, in his feature debut, can't keep the well-intentioned "Trash" from self-destructing during its final reel. The low-budget indie bows locally Tuesday as part of the second annual Method Fest, a minishowcase of "breakout acting performances," at Laemmle's Playhouse 7 in Pasadena.
Talk about breaking out. While it never quite penetrates his thick skull long enough to avoid a tragic denouement, headliner Jeremy Sisto's rough-and-tumble character, Sonny, needs to immediately flee the small-town poverty that he has always known. Car mechanic Sonny's best friend, Anthony Eric Michael Cole), is a ready companion for the usual pressure-releasing activities -- fighting, drinking, joyriding with girls -- but this quieter, more introspective "cracker" just may have a knack for writing.
Filmed in Florida and surprisingly accomplished in all technical aspects, "Trash" knowingly collides with some cliches and avoids others. Underscoring the loosely plotted story of Sonny and Anthony's struggle to find a better life or be content with the one they have are the repressed emotions both have for the accidental death of another friend while hunting in the woods, a bloody event that occurs in the effectively unsettling opening.
Employing a nonessential narration and other none-too-
revolutionary techniques, including too much slow-motion in crucial sequences, Galluzzo is, overall, successful in creating believable "poor white trash" leads, including CJ (Jaime Pressly), a "rich girl" who takes a liking to Anthony.
The seemingly mismatched romance is a counterpoint to the simmering resentment of Sonny toward anyone who claims to be better than he and his ilk. But the truth is always more complex than it first appears in Galluzzo's often sparkling script.
Although his school principal gushes that he could be a prodigy, Anthony's no genius. He does know how crummy Sonny's home life is and earnestly tries to get them both on their way to college. But Sonny and Galluzzo take the easy way out, and the violent, flawed finale exists mainly to provide Sisto (CBS' "Jesus") with an opportunity to exercise his considerable thespian talents.
Jonathan Banks as CJ's protective father and Grace Zabriskie and Veronica Cartwright in minor roles are momentarily reassuring presences. But it's not hard to pick up on this project's sternly dramatic arc, which starts and ends violently and rarely lightens up in its sympathetic portrayal of all-too-human "Trash".
