It doesn’t move, it doesn’t think, it just kills… introducing ‘the mannequin’ in horror thriller Don’T Look Away, released in the UK on Digital Platforms from 25th September 2023.
From award-winning writer/director Michael Bafaro (The Barber), Don’T Look Away stars Kelly Bastard, in her debut feature, as Frankie, a college student who accidentally unleashes a curse, and is stalked by a seemingly unstoppable – and murderous – mannequin.
Brilliantly inventive and delivering some superbly scary set-pieces, including a disturbing disco bloodbath – not to mention enough shocks that the film should come with a health warning – Don’T Look Away will have you jumping at shadows for days after. Kelly Bastard is outstanding in the lead role as a woman attempting to keep hold of her sanity, at the same time as unravelling the mystery of the murderous mannequin – a truly spooky character who could rightly take his place in the horror hall of fame.

On Sunday, April 12th, A&e will air Willie Nelson: American Outlaw, filmed during an all-star tribute concert to the Country Music Hall of Famer in Nashville. For a preview of the show, the network has released a clip of Nelson’s performance of “City of New Orleans” featuring Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks.
In this rendition, Nelson’s gentle, warm vocal style pairs nicely with the soulful fireworks the Tedeschi brings to the Steve Goodman song, recorded by Nelson in 1984. Nelson also gets to take a characteristically idiosyncratic solo on Trigger,...

In the vast plethora of shonen anime in the style of “Naruto” that dominate the industry, it is always good to find titles that manage to stand out, even if the differences are not extremely significant. “World Trigger” is one of those titles, which, although it follows many of the “rules” of the category, manages to stand out, particularly because it functions as the anime version of an intricate J-rpg.
The setting of the story is Mikado City, where a gate to a different world has opened, “inviting” monsters called Neighbors in the area. Humans are overwhelmed in the beginning and the disasters are humongous, as regular weapons seem to be useless against the monsters. Eventually, a mysterious organization called “Border” appears, including a humongous structure in the middle of the area the first attack occurred, whose members seem to have appropriated Neighbor technology that can use against the monsters.

Shot in hazy shades of grey-blue browns and unfolding with the deliberate, stalking pace of a hunter trying to keep silent before a moonlight kill, “The Barber” is a modest but satisfying thriller that’s a little obsessed with its own themes but still gets out of its own way when the time comes. The directorial debut of Basel Owies, “The Barber” begins with a brief flashback to Illinois in the late ’90s explaining that, despite the questioning of a person of interest, the Chicago police have no leads in the serial slaying of several young girls. The lead detective,...
