For audiences of a certain age, it might be amusing, or maybe even disappointing, when, early in “The Ballad of Davy Crockett,” the eponymous hero skins a raccoon to fashion a bandage for a serious leg wound, rather than to make a hat of the sort famously worn by Fess Parker when he played the character in enduringly popular Disney miniseries and movie spin-offs. Maybe this is writer-director Derek Estlin Purvis’ way of winking at the audience. Or, more likely, it’s his way of letting us know from the get-go that this will not be your father’s King of the Wild Frontier.
William Moseley (“The Chronicles of Narnia”) is effectively earnest as the legendary frontiersman in Purvis’ leisurely paced but sporadically exciting historical drama, which focuses on the period when Crockett, then a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for Tennessee, became an outspoken critic of...

A little boy once said “I see dead people”. In The Voices we have a little girl who can hear dead people. For better or for worse, this film is very much in the M. Night vein.
The Voices kicks off with two ladies restrained in a Saw-esque torture-basement before moving back in time to a little girl, seemingly receiving therapy from a young lady wearing sunglasses (while indoors). I am not a therapist, but I would imagine hiding your eyes from your patient is probably the last thing you would want to do. Having said all that, it turns out our therapist is blind, so that told me. We then have a rather confusing flashback after a flashback.

"You have the power to choose the spirit..." Vertical Entertainment has released an official trailer for The Voices, described as "this spring’s most unnerving new horror film." From filmmaker Nathaniel Nuon, The Voices already opened in Brazil last year but hasn't played at any festivals. Not to be confused with the other horror comedy The Voices from 2014 with Ryan Reynolds (which is worth a watch sometime). A young girl who grows up blind after losing her mother in an accident hears strange voices throughout her life. When she gets pregnant as an adult, she soon discovers her unborn baby has become a vessel a second chance for souls stuck in limbo to be re-born. Don't believe everything you hear. The horror film stars Valerie Jane Parker, Jenna Harvey, Jonathan Stoddard, Rezeta Veliu, Ashley Bell, Jordan Ladd, and Leslie Easterbrook. It looks rather campy and derivative, but gets super intense...

The Wrong Turn franchise hasn’t ever been a well respected horror series, but it has shown itself to be pretty sustainable over the years, delivering a total of six films between 2003 and 2014. Now, the carnage will continue with yet another outing currently in production.
Yes, as you may’ve heard, Constantin Film – the studio behind the Resident Evil movies – is bringing us a new chapter in this series that revolves around an inbred family of cannibalistic mountain men from West Virginia. Mike P. Nelson, director of the acclaimed post-apocalyptic thriller The Domestics, will be behind the camera and in what may sound like a familiar premise, the movie will feature a group of friends who embark on a hiking trip through the Appalachian Trail.
It’s here that they come into contact with “The Foundation,” a community who’ve been residing in the mountains for many decades and these...
