Nine years ago, actor Adam MacDonald made his feature writing and directing debut with an entertaining survival thriller called Backcountry (watch it Here), which starred Missy Peregrym as a woman lost in the wilderness and menaced by a bear. Two and a half years ago, we heard that MacDonald and Peregrym were going to be teaming up for a new survival thriller called Out Come the Wolves – which, as you might guess from the title, will have Peregrym facing off with a pack of ravenous wolves. Now Variety has confirmed that filming is now underway.
MacDonald is directing Out Come the Wolves from a screenplay by Enuka Okuma, based on a story they crafted with actor Joris Jarsky of God’s Country. The story centers on a woman who brings her male best friend to meet her fiancé at her family’s secluded family cabin in the woods. As tensions grow between the two men,...

“God’s Country” was reviewed by TheWrap out of the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
“God’s Country” is the latest offering in a trend of reimagining both the Western and the thriller, as this film is also tagged, with Black leads. Thandiwe Newton, a 2018 Emmy winner for “Westworld,” stars as Sandra Guidry in an adaptation of James Lee Burke’s 1992 short story “Winter Light” about a college professor who gets into a battle of wills with two hunters who trespass on her property in Montana.
For filmmaker Julian Higgins, his feature-length debut is the second time around for the core story. Back in 2015, Higgins directed a successful short of the same name with, in keeping with the story, an older white male protagonist as lead. Obviously, a Black female star brings a different nuance to the narrative, but the real question may be whether Higgins and his story collaborator Shaye Ogbonna, a Black male writer,...

"Out here things are a little different... Most folks handle this sort of thing amongst themselves." IFC Films has unveiled the first official trailer for God's Country, an indie Neo-Western thriller from filmmaker Julian Higgins. This first premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and it earned some rave reviews, despite mostly flying under the radar during the festival. The title is a reference to the land which it takes place on - Thandiwe Newton plays Sandra Guidry, a Black professor living and working in a rural town in the snowy lands of the American West. When this grieving college professor confronts two hunters that she catches trespassing on her property, she's drawn into an escalating battle of wills with catastrophic consequences for all. It's a remarkably tense thriller with some exceptional cinematography, but most of all a towering, magnificent performance from Newton. The indie cast features Jeremy Bobb,...

Thandiwe Newton ventures to the frosted depths of the forest in IFC Films’ “God’s Country,” inspired by James Lee Burke’s short story “Winter Light.” In the film, Newton portrays Sandra Guidry, a college professor living in a rural town while grieving the recent loss of her mother. On the day of the funeral, Sandra finds a mysterious truck parked in her driveway that belongs to hunters looking to hunt on her property. Sandra is soon drawn into a battle of escalating wills in the Western-set thriller.
“God’s Country” is directed Julian Higgins, who co-wrote the screenplay with Shay Ogbonna. Jeremy Bobb, Joris Jarsky, Jefferson White, Kai Lennox, and Tanaya Beatty also star. The film first at 2022 Sundance Film Festival, and is produced by Miranda Bailey, Halee Bernard, Julian Higgins, and Amanda Marshall. Executive producers include Jason Beck and Anthony Ciardelli.

Exclusive: IFC Films has acquired North American rights to Julian Higgins’ feature directorial debut God’s Country, starring BAFTA and Emmy winner Thandiwe Newton, on the heels of its debut at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. It will release the film won in a bidding war in theaters this fall.
The acquisition is IFC Films’ third out of this year’s virtual festival, following its pick-up of the horror-thrillers Resurrection (starring Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth) and Watcher (starring Maika Munroe), and marks the seventh for its parent company AMC Networks.
Higgins and Shaye Ogbonna scripted God’s Country, which is based on the short story “Winter’s Light” by James Lee Burke.

A few thrillers have premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival that feature vulnerable and underestimated women, but none of them carry the quiet, enigmatic power of Thandiwe Newton in God’s Country, a frigid neo-western that moves glacially but thoughtfully through topics of class, race, and gender. As Sandra, a college professor living alone with her dog in the vast Montana wilderness, Newton exudes a gravitational force, carrying a stern and inscrutable countenance that her character will eventually use to her advantage in an ongoing dispute with two white men. In a pocket of the country that feels lawless and bitterly divided, Sandra is unafraid to begin a vindictive war of escalation, even if it means stripping away everything important in her life.
Directed by Julian Higgins, and based on James Lee Burke’s short story, “Winter Light,” God’s Country introduces Sandra cloaked in the aftermath of death. In the final weeks before Christmas,...

The premise of “God’s Country” paints the proverbial “two Americas” with the broadest possible brushstrokes, pitting a Black, female humanities professor against two white guys in a red pickup truck. Nobody mentions who they voted for, but the preconceived notions write themselves. Yet the film digs deeper with each passing scene, subverting our first impressions of each character before letting them prove they are exactly who we thought they were. Julian Higgins’ excellent film constantly dangles redemption in front of our faces, begging us to imagine a better world, but ultimately delivers a stark reminder of how bitterly divided the country is.
We first meet Sandra, played by Thandiwe Newton, as she watches her mother’s cremation. “God’s Country” follows Sandra for the first week of her life without her mother, conveniently labeling each of the seven days. She teaches public speaking at a rural college we never learn the name of,...

‘God’s Country’ Review: Thandiwe Newton Anchors a Thriller of Escalating Disputes in Big Sky Country
Race, class and cultural divides are probed with intriguing understatement in “God’s Country.” Julian Higgins’ first feature can be taken as a drama with thriller elements or a low-key thriller with atypical dramatic nuance, working either way as a quietly effective balance between genre, social issue and character study elements. Based on a James Lee Burke story, it stars Thandiwe Newton as a college professor whose fish-out-of-water status in rural Montana is exacerbated when she runs afoul of trespassing working-class hunters. Too modest in scope and impact to be a major breakout title, this Sundance premiere should nonetheless attract streaming outlets and other home-format providers.
The screenplay by Higgins and Shaye Ogbonna is a “western” in that it’s on the laconic side verbally, at least most of the time. Thus it’s a while before we realize that the loved one Sandra Guidry (Newton) buries at the start is her long-ailing mother,...

Second thing is that Jared Leto, as far as I am concerned, is tragically underrated. I mean yes, okay, he has won an Oscar and so you may say that he’s rated enough but Leto is easily one the best character actors around right now. Then you have Rami Malek who has been on the scene for a good long while jobbing away and picking his roles carefully, but in the last couple years he...

Hollywood star Jared Leto says his new film, John Lee Hancock's The Little Things, comes with questions about guilt, innocence, assumptions and identity.
"I have wanted to work with John Lee for quite some time, he's such an incredible writer and director. When I first read the script, I really was taken in by the characters and he did a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat," Leto said while talking about collaborating with the director.
"The story poses questions not just about guilt or innocence, but assumptions and identity. It was surprising and I think people are going to be shocked by the ending," he added.
In the psychological thriller, Denzil Washington is seen as Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe "Deke" Deacon, who gets involved in tracking a serial killer who is terrorising the city of Los Angeles. Rami Malek as L.A. Sheriff Dept.

Denzel Washington and Rami Malek are playing a dangerous game with Jared Leto in the first trailer for “The Little Things.”

In the film, Washington plays Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon, who gets involved in tracking a serial killer who is terrorizing the city of Los Angeles. Malek’s L.A. Sheriff Dept. Sergeant Jim Baxter is leading the investigation.

This is currently set for release in January from Warner Bros - one of the first releases to try the dual theatrical + HBO Max debut. The Little Things centers around Deke, a burnt-out Kern County, CA deputy sheriff who teams with Baxter, a crack L.A. Sheriffs Department detective, to nab a serial killer who is terrorizing the city. Deke's nose for the "little things" often proves eerily accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a soul-shattering dilemma. In addition, Deke must wrestle with a dark secret from his past. This one stars Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto. Along with Natalie Morales, Terry Kinney, Chris Bauer,...

In Warner Bros. movie “The Little Things,” Jared Leto is a friggin’ creep, so he probably was the one who killed a whole bunch of girls in Los Angeles. At least, that’s the theory of Denzel Washington’s cop. So long as they collar a criminal, his ad-hoc partner (Rami Malek) seems pretty much on board with all of that — and with Washington’s character’s own unsettling methods.
Denzel Washington, Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Jared Leto (“Dallas Buyers Club”) star in the psychological thriller “The Little Things.” John Lee Hancock directed the film from his own original screenplay.
In “The Little Things,” Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence-gathering assignment.

Warner Bros. shocked the industry earlier this month when it announced it would be adopting a hybrid release model for its entire 2021 film slate in which films will open in theaters on the same day they become available to stream on HBO Max for 31 days. “Wonder Woman 1984” is testing out the strategy with its Christmas release, and first up out of the gate in theaters and on HBO Max for Warner Bros. in 2021 is “The Little Things,” a psychological crime thriller from “The Blind Side” and “Saving Mr. Banks” director John Lee Hancock.
Fortunately for Warner Bros., “The Little Things” should have no problem being a huge draw on streaming considering it brings together three Oscar winners: Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto. The film, written by Hancock, stars Washington and Malek as a pair of Los Angeles cops who clash while investigating a grisly murder. Leto’s character is the prime suspect.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers about “The Good Doctor” episode “Heartfelt.”]
While “The Good Doctor” has made a point to tell stories about representation, identity, and marginalized people, it’s still a medical show that poses questions about life, death, and how we as people navigate those concepts. On Monday’s episode, “Heartfelt,” a situation arises in which a criminal tries to seek redemption, with mixed results in how his actions are received.
In the episode, a young boy named Eric (Nicholas Johnny) is in dire need of a liver, but it needs to be compatible with Type O blood, and that’s been hard to come by. Dr. Claire Browne (Antonia Thomas) finds one that’s readily available, but it’s not one that’s on the donor registry list because there’s a catch: The organ belongs to seven-time convicted killer Sergey Tirayan (Joris Jarsky), who is still in prison.

In the episode, a young boy named Eric (Nicholas Johnny) is in dire need of a liver, but it needs to be compatible with Type O blood, and that’s been hard to come by. Dr. Claire Browne (Antonia Thomas) finds one that’s readily available, but it’s not one that’s on the donor registry list because there’s a catch: The organ belongs to seven-time convicted killer Sergey Tirayan (Joris Jarsky), who is still in prison.

Some filmmakers keep their endings ambiguous so the art lingers with the viewer in order to interpret the piece rather than merely consume it. Writer/director Peter Lynch looks to go one step further with his noir Birdland (co-written by Lee Gowan) by rendering the whole a mystery wherein beginnings and ends are both fluid as far as linear coherency is concerned and meticulously structured to amplify the emotional machinations of his lead Sheila Hood (Kathleen Munroe). Lynch intentionally disorients so that mood overshadows action. He focuses on Sheila’s place within a story branching off in multiple directions independent of her despite her obvious visible presence within each as lurker, voyeur, lover, or friend. Is she therefore a victim of external circumstances or the one deliberately pulling every string?

I'm no expert on Canadian filmmaking, but a cursory Internet research into the subject revealed that the Canadian film industry is in a largely pitiful state. Sure, there is plenty of Canadian talent that does well in America, and lots of films are made in Toronto, but films funded by Canada, set in Canada, made my Canadian filmmakers, and using local talent very rarely succeed. The Canadian government, through Telefilm Canada, has for decades subsidized (or "invested" as they prefer) in Canadian filmmakers in the (dim) hopes of not just propping up local talent, but actually making a profit. Unfortunately, for the most part (excepting the rare success like the modest hit, The Trailer Park Boys 2), Canadian movies not only fail to reach American audiences, they can't even find success in their own goddamn country. They throw a lot of money at filmmakers, but rarely do they put much behind marketing,...

The poster promises that this will be the final film, but that is unlikely. However, the poster art does show the gigantic size to which the Saw series has grown to.

The short film also shows off the potentialities of 3D and the terror this visual device can bring: "the last piece of the puzzle is you!" (Saw 3D).

Chicago – It pains me to point out the flaws of “George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead.” Two of the most influential movies in my entire life are “Night of the Living Dead” and “Dawn of the Dead” and I could write a book on the importance of one of the most essential horror directors of all time. But, despite a fantastic Blu-ray release, “Survival of the Dead” disappoints.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
For one of the few times in Romero’s amazing career, it feels like he’s spinning his wheels. “Survival” is half-baked and poorly-constructed, a serious step down from “Diary of the Dead” and “Land of the Dead”. Despite a few well-made action scenes, the sixth “Dead” film feels more like the work of a director inspired by Romero than something made by the master himself. It’s a zombie version of what he does so...

Romero's latest revolves around a theme of tribalism, which can be seen in the trailer. As well, this project started out as a sequel to Diary of the Dead, but script changes ruled this possibility out (Uhm).

Romero’s been around a long time so it’s not surprising that’s he put out a few stinkers, but I have hopes for Survival of the Dead. The problem is, when I watch the trailer, I have post-traumatic stress flashbacks to my last Romero experience with Diary of the Dead. It wasn’t so much that it was scary as it was scarily bad.

Let’s face it, zombies make pretty bad neighbors, what with all the trying to eat you and whatnot. So how do we expect them to make good family members? That’s apparently the goal of a couple of Irish fellas living on an island in George Romero’s latest zombie opus, the unfortunately titled “Survival of the Dead”. Check out a rough cut of the red band trailer for the horror movie below. Fair warning: the quality is pretty, well, rough, being an unofficial trailer and all. On an island off the coast of North America, local residents simultaneously fight a zombie epidemic while hoping for a cure to return their un-dead relatives back to their human state. Starring Devon Bostick, Julian Richings, Athena Karkanis, Kathleen Munroe, Joris Jarsky, Kenneth Welsh, Alan Van Sprang, Wayne Robson, George Stroumboulopoulos, Richard Fitzpatrick, Heather Allin, Stefano Dimatteo, Matt Birman, and written and directed by George Romero.

Let’s face it, when zombies have become so commonplace that the very idea of fishing at night all by your little lonesome doesn’t even bother you anymore, is that a good thing or a bad thing for a horror movie? You decide. Here’s a clip from George Romero’s latest zombie opus, “Survival of the Dead”, a silly title for a zombie movie about the living dead if you ask me.
