Paul Weller criticises younger artists for not releasing enough music

Although they have been around forever, slasher movies are still met with a lot of snobbery from some genre fans. These films are often viewed as nothing more than gratuitous violence with disposable characters, weak plots, and watery visuals. Over the years there has been the occasional innovation, but the sub-genre remains a source of negativity for some. Writer and director Chris Nash seeks to change opinion with In a Violent Nature.As slasher movies go, In a Violent Nature truly is innovative.

It’s January and whilst most are focused on awards season being in full swing, it is also the start of festival season. Right now the fortieth edition of Sundance is underway, and while THN can’t be there in person, we will be bringing you a round up of what we have been able to access virtually.

Folklore and found footage horror go hand in hand, and since the ground-breaking and game changing The Blair Witch Project scared us all half to death in 1999, filmmakers have been sending their subjects off into the wild, shaky cam in hand, all hoping to capture proof of the unprovable. Due to the elusiveness of their nature, cryptids or legendary creatures make for perfect found footage fodder, from Butterfly Kisses to Willow Creek. In Frogman, which premiered at Telluride Horror Show last fall, Director Anthony Cousins (the eclectic mind behind such classics as The Bloody Ballad of Squirt Reynolds, Fat Fleshy Fingers and Every Time We Meet For Ice Cream Your Whole F*cking Face Explodes) sends his characters on a hunt for a subject more elusive than them all: the Loveland Frogman. The film follows Dallas Kyle (Nathan Tymoshuk), a man suspended in arrested development – jobless, mooching off his sister and her husband, unable to move on from grainy, 3-second clip of ‘Frogman’ he captured as a youth.

For anyone who grew up with SCTV, it’s been incredibly heartening to see Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara hit stardom in their winter years thanks to “Schitt’s Creek.” Everyone who grew up with them knew they were superstars; it’s only that the world discovered them much, much later. Regardless, the success of that show has launched them both, and for Levy, it’s spawned his own travelogue show, “The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy,” centered on his lifelong disinclination to travel and leave the comfort of his home.

While Chad Stahelski has been content to stay in the “John Wick” universe ever since he launched the franchise in 2014, his co-director David Leitch has done anything but stay planted.

When you look at the creative level most people hope to achieve when crafting a sci-fi/fantasy film, the original “Star Wars” trilogy is really that high water mark, particularly ‘Empire Strikes Back.’ So when anyone compares the upcoming “Dune: Part Two” to ‘Empire,’ that is high praise.
