Stars: Angela Cela, Charles Chudabala, Nicole Cinaglia , Sheri Davis, Marcella Di Pasquale, Jessica Cameron, Felissa Rose, Jennifer Nangle, Sadie Katz, Alan Maxson, Dave Sheridan, Vernon Wells, Noel Jason Scott, Maria Shapley | Written and Directed by Michael Hurst
Directed by Michael J. Hurst, who has vast genre experience – helming films such as House of the Dead 2, Pumpkinhead 4 and 2006’s Darkroom, as well as writing the demented Mansquito (aka Mosquito Man), and both of Scott Adkins’ Ninja movies (personal favourites of mine) – Transmission is a dark, twisted film that feels akin to Peter Hyams’s comedy Stay Tuned, which starred John Ritter and Pam Dawber as a couple trapped in an ever-changing TV or the comedy anthology Amazon Women on the Moon that flicked between 90s TV, poking fun at the tropes of that era.

Best known for his work playing monsters and creatures, Alan Maxson has a fascinating career containing credits such as The Gingerdead Man’s mouth, Shark Fuel Fiend, and King Ghidorah’s performance capture in 2019’s Godzilla: King of The Monsters. He turns his hand to writing and directing this intergalactic feature, complete with a history that has to be established first thing.
Long oppressed by the Kameen, the Lokkein rose up to try and free themselves from their captors. The brutal battles slaughtered many of their race, leaving the few Lokkein survivors exiled to a planet without drinkable water. The only reason they survive this barren world is a rejuvenation vial, a strange liquid that rejuvenates the planet’s liquid once a year. It is...

A full Free Movie of the Day is posted on the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel every day of the week – but on Fridays things get a little freakier and a little more fun. Get your weekend started the right way by indulging in Friday Fright Nights! Every Friday, we’ll be taking a look at another genre movie you can watch in its entirety, free of charge, either on the YouTube channel linked above or in the video embed here.
This week’s Friday Fright Nights feature is the abduction horror thriller Like Dogs – which may sound familiar, since we have previously shared it as a Free Movie of the Day. We had to take it down for a while due to YouTube issues, but now it’s back! This one is about people being abducted and chained up for a behavioral experiment where they’re treated like dogs… and if you’re like me,...

Even with the brilliant recent horror hit Host coming in at a run time of a little under sixty minutes, it doesn’t seem to have started a trend of shorter timed movies. But maybe the makers of Genevieve were encouraged at Host‘s reception as this creepy doll horror movie ends at about the forty five minute mark.
Creepy dolls have of course been a staple of the genre for quite some time. Chucky is probably the most well known but there’s a long list of low budget movies and more recently the box office success of Annabelle cannot be argued. Getting the look of the doll is not something easy to get right though. Trying too hard to make it look scary generally doesn’t work and while a ‘normal’-looking doll can be effective,...

The Twilight Zone and more recently Black Mirror have created future worlds that aren’t so great. Featuring things we should worry about and usually making technology seem like something we should be very wary of. Patina follows that idea, with robots that can do anything for us. But even written down that seems like a bad idea. Does anyone think that in the future we want robots that will so whatever we ask, no questions. All I can think of is thousands, maybe millions of crimes and illegal things that robots will be getting up to.
Here, Patina is the name of said robot. A robot that does look pretty scary, actually not too dissimilar to the masked Jason Voorhee’s in Jason X. Not something you really want standing in your home and that is...

Dustin Ferguson, multi award-winning filmmaker
Known for films like Camp Blood 4, Silent Night Bloody Night 2 and Demon Dolls, Kansas-born director Dustin Ferguson has also made a name for himself in production, working with 42Nd Street Films, Sinister Studios and more. He recently directed RoboWoman with Dawna Lee Heising and Mel Noval and he's currently developing a remake of Umberto Lenzi's Ghosthouse. Given his lifelong commitment to the horror genre, I ask if he loved films of that sort as a child.
Alan Maxson (the Blood Beast) chokes director Dustin Ferguson
"Yes, actually," he says. "The earliest movie memory I have is watching Night Of The Living Dead, Day Of The Triffids and Psychomania with my parents on the old Goodtimes VHS releases of the mid Eighties. When I started getting an allowance the first horror movie I ever bought was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on VHS at an indoor flea market.

Jason Liles, who most recently played the albino gorilla in Dwayne Johnson’s “Rampage,” has been cast as one of several motion-capture actors playing Godzilla’s three-headed archenemy in Legendary and Warner Bros.’ “Godzilla: King of Monsters,” TheWrap has learned exclusively.
King Ghidorah is a kaiju film monster that has golden-scaled wings and three heads. Liles plays the middle head, while Alan Maxson is the right head and Richard Dorton is the left head in the epic action-adventure film that pits Godzilla against some of the biggest monsters in pop culture history; additional mo-cap actors contribute to the body movement of the creature.
Michael Dougherty is directing from a screenplay he wrote with Zach Shields. Liles is joining the previously announced cast of Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga, O’Shea Jackson, Sally Hawkins, Thomas Middleditch and Bradley Whitford.
