Filmmaker Richmond Riedel, the producer, director, and writer of the award-winning film Target Practice, has optioned the motion picture rights to a screenplay called The Devoted, written by Eric Shapiro and Rhoda Jordan. Shapiro and Jordan co-produced the film Rule Of Three, which, like Target Practice, was released in 2010 by Big Screen Entertainment Group.
The Devoted chronicles the last day in the life of a fictional suicide cult. When one of the cult members begins to have second thoughts, the balance of power becomes disrupted, and as the group's final ritual grows near, the tension escalates. Earlier this month, a novel version of The Devoted, written by Eric Shapiro, was released by Ravenous Shadows, the new line of genre fiction helmed by NY Times Bestselling Author John Skipp.
"It was a screenplay before it was a novel," Shapiro explains. "We'd been working on getting it made. When...

This time around we are going to take a peek at the optioning of a short story for a short film. This is kind of a hybrid of sorts since most short horror films are made from original scripts. But that is not the only angle to this story since the producers made a feature length film first and then decided to try their hands at a short, once again bucking the usual progression of filmmaking. Eric Shapiro and Rhoda Jordan are a husband and wife producing team, him a writer/director and her an actress/writer. Their sensibilities and drive are perfectly matched and they seem to feed off of each other's energy and drive. Eric is the author of the book Stories for the End of the World and the writer/director of the feature...

Every once in a while you get lucky and are reminded why our genre is so great. If I sat around obsessing over every frame of Transformers I doubt I'd be able to contact Michael Bay and talk about why he chose to explore Bumblebee's inner strife.
And if I did, who'd really care? In our genre, it's pretty damned amazing that you can watch a film and with just a few polite keystrokes get in touch with the people who made it and discover that they're just as much film lovers as the rest of us. What follows is a pretty brief but very informative interview that writer/director Eric Shapiro was kind enough to indulge me with.

Unlike slasher and splatter flicks where all the fear comes from the outside, in the more subtle psychological horror subgenre, terror tends to come from within. Rule Of Three, the psychological thriller directed by Eric Shapiro and co-written by Shapiro and lead actress Rhoda Jordan, is a film noir piece that shows what happens when the disturbing menace emerges from deep inside us. The film debuts on DVD today from Big Screen Entertainment, after a two-year festival run.

Fango got the word that a new trailer has hit the web for Eric Shapiro and Rhoda Jordan’s Rule Of Three, the indie chiller that won Best Actor (Ben Siegler) at last year’s Fantasia Film Festival and Best Acting Performance for writer/star Jordan at Shriekfest. You can check out the preview below.
Rule Of Three follows three interconnected and nightmarish stories as they unfold at separate times in and around the same Los Angeles motel room. Shapiro and Jordan have signed the rights for the film over to Big Screen Entertainment Group, who most recently handled the release of Babysitter Wanted. “We had a great year in 2008,” Shapiro says, “taking Rule Of Three from Fango’s Weekend of Horrors to Fantasia and around the festival circuit. It’s exciting to have won support from such a strong company, especially given our film’s budget and extreme subject matter.

The small indie sleeper Rule Of Three—which has garnered praise at the likes of Montreal’s Fantasia (where star Ben Siegler won Best Actor) and Shriekfest (where co-star/co-writer Rhoda Jordan won Best Acting Performance)—has secured broadcast distribution overseas as a part of Hart D. Fisher’s American Horrors series.
Rule Of Three takes place in one single motel room at three different points in time, all interconnected, and follows Jon (Siegler) as he looks for clues regarding the disappearance of his daughter Lo (Jordan). At the same time, we witness her stay at the motel weeks before and the room’s previous happenings, which tragically pull everyone together. Rule Of Three also stars horror mainstay Tiffany Shepis, Nightmare On Elm Street 3’s Rodney Eastman and Hatchet actor Parry Shen.

As a lifelong horror nerd (no, really?), I'm ashamed to admit how long it took for me to "discover" the books of Jack Ketchum -- but let's just say I'm making up for it now. Although Mr. Ketchum (real name: Dallas Mayr) has been writing for about thirty years, his works have never made Any sort of cinematic impact until recently. The first one out of the gate was Chris Sivertson's chilling The Lost, which was followed by the also-harsh The Girl Next Door. The third adaptation, Red, is still making the round on the festival circuit -- plus we recently caught word that Ketchum's Off Season would soon hit the screen. And now we have a new project to announce.
Right to Life is a story that Mr. Ketchum penned back in 1989, and here's what it's about: A pregnant woman is kidnapped on...

Add another Jack Ketchum story headed for the big screen, and aside from The Girl Next Door this might be the most disturbing one yet...
Rule of Three (review) producers Eric Shapiro and Rhoda Jordan just dropped us a line with the news that they’ve acquired the rights to Ketchum’s short story “Right to Life”, which you can find anywhere paperbacks are sold as part of Leisure’s release of Ketchum’s Old Flames (review).
As my review indicates, “Right to Life” is the story of a woman who is taken hostage by a very demented couple while on her way to get an abortion. Their plan is to keep her tied up and humiliated in their basement until she’s ready to give birth. Needless to say, this is going to be a hard movie to make; "Ketchum is one of the great madmen of the horror genre,...
