Official Trailer for 'What We Find on the Road' Summer Coming-of-Age

"It's a big day. Now go. Stop wasting time." S&R has revealed an official trailer for an indie coming-of-age drama titled What We Find on the Road, marking the feature directorial debut of producer / filmmaker Chaysen Beacham. A summertime tale of self-discovery and the ties that bind us, the award-winning indie film opens in theaters this September. On his 18th birthday, TJ receives a key sent from his estranged ex-con father, unlocking an old '68 convertible and a challenge to drive across America – in hopes of repairing his family. Supported by a band of loveable oddballs and held together by humor and grit, TJ discovers that sometimes the longest road is the fastest way to home. Written by Bill Haney and directed by Chaysen Beacham, What We Find on the Road stars Finn Haney, William Chris Sumpter, Katherine Laheen, Paul Guilfoyle, and Ross Partridge. The film has screened at 23 film festivals around the world with a few awards. Looks like a nice indie road movie with some terrific performances to boot. And a funky old car. // Continue Reading ›

New Trailer for 'Caligula: The Ultimate Cut' 4K Reconstruction Release

"The most notorious Emperor in history returns..." Drafthouse Films has unveiled a new official trailer for Caligula: The Ultimate Cut, a 4K restoration of the infamous erotic classic. The epic Italian film follows Caligula as he kills his devious adoptive grandfather and takes control of the decadent Roman Empire, soon spiraling into depravity, devastation, and utter madness. "Drafthouse Films is a beacon of excellence and taste in independent cinema, and in the 3 years while I was constructing the film I hoped that they would be involved in bringing Caligula: The Ultimate Cut to American audiences," states producer Thomas Negovan. This brand new "Ultimate Cut" is a completely fresh reconstruction based on tons of footage found in the Penthouse archive. They removed all the depravity that was controversially added during the first release, and it has been restored to what should've been all along. "Graphic artist Dave McKean added a prologue that illustrates one of Vidal's missing scenes, and composer Troy Sterling Nies created a new wraparound score." Caligula stars Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, Teresa Ann Savoy, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, John Steiner, & Guido Mannari. It's getting a proper theatrical re-release this August. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›

On the Water Horror Thriller Film 'Dead Sea' Trailer - FKA 'Flycatcher'

"One down, two to go." Vertical has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror thriller film titled Dead Sea, formerly known as Flycatcher before the title change for its release. Is either title good? This hasn't played at any film festivals, but it was picked up during an AFM sale a few years ago. Stranded in the open sea after a fatal jet ski accident, a young woman and her two friends are rescued by a fishing vessel's captain, unaware that the ship harbors a chilling secret. From this trailer, it looks like it's an organ harvesting vessel - this seems to be like Eli Roth's Hostel but on a boat. Dead Sea stars Isabel Gravitt, Genneya Walton, Alexander Wraith, with Dean Cameron, Garrett Wareing, Al Burke, Brian Silverman, and Koa Tom. Set for the typical VOD right away release later in July this summer. Doesn't look like there's much to get excited about with this one, yet another generic horror with all the usual scary tropes and young women. // Continue Reading ›

Crime Thriller 'The Girl in the Pool' Trailer Starring Freddie Prinze Jr.

"Just stop and admit to my daughter what you're really upset about." Quiver Distr. has revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled The Girl in the Pool, directed by Dakota Gorman. This is another one of these low-rent, junk thrillers being passed off as something true crime obsessed audiences of today might want to see. How long has it been since we've seen Freddie Prinze Jr. in anything? So he's back? Prinze Jr. stars as Tom, who "reflects on one final rendezvous with a woman he is having an affair with — shortly before that same woman is found dead in his pool. To complicate matters, Tom's wife and his family throw him a surprise birthday party in the same backyard. At the party, Tom's shock is noticed by those around him, including his father-in-law and a man who arrives at his home saying he is looking for his wife." What will happen next? Will his perfect life fall apart? (Probably...) Also starring Monica Potter, Kevin Pollak, Tyler Lawrence Gray, Brielle Barbusca, & Gabrielle Haugh. The Girl in the Pool reunites the actors Prinze Jr. & Potter 23 years after they were in 2001's Head Over Heels together. Though it looks forgettable. // Continue Reading ›

New Trailer for 'Grassland' Film About Marijuana Starring Mia Maestro

"Having a little pot makes you a criminal?" No, no it doesn't. An official promo trailer is available for an indie film titled Grassland, the first feature film made by two up-and-coming filmmakers Sam Friedman and William Bermudez based in LA. This recently premiered at the 2024 Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival a few weeks ago. The film, which is executive produced by Common, explores the failures of the criminal justice system through a different POV, and is a riveting social justice thriller highlighting the perils of marijuana incarceration. The story follows a single Latina mother, starring Mía Maestro, whose illegal marijuana business is put at risk when her young son Leo, portrayed by Ravi Cabot-Conyers (from Encanto), befriends their new neighbors who move in downstairs—a white boy played by Sean Convery and his police officer grandfather. It also stars Quincy Isaiah, Jeff Kober, and Rachel Ticotin. I'm glad stories like this are being told, but it seems so melodramatic. It's hard to watch all the yelling in this trailer. // Continue Reading ›
