Stars: Christopher Mann, Laura L. Cottrel, K.J. Linhein, Ernie Hudson, Doug Bradley, Tom Detrik, Kevin Fennell | Written and Directed by Christian Grillo
Originally titled Deer Crossing, Wasteland comes from Christian Grillo, who not only wrote and directed the film but also edited it a well; and judging by the end result he should probably had help on all three counts! I always approach low-budget independent cinema with an open mind and nary an expectation, after all you can’t compare these types of flicks to big-budget Hollywood flicks. But what you can can do is compare them to others of their ilk – and even comparing it to the lowest of low budget flicks, Wasteland fares pretty badly…
The film sees Maggie Chancelor and her son Cole involved in an accident on their way to visit family. The pair are found by Lukas, a farmer, who takes them to his farm...

*full disclosure: an online screening of this film was provided by Osiris Entertainment. Director/writer: Christian Grillo. Cast: Christopher Mann, Laura L. Cottrel, Doug Bradley, Ernie Hudson and K.J. Linhein. Osiris Entertainment is one of this film fan's favourite distributors. They are based in Chatsworth, California and they tend to pick indie productions for their markets. Some of their films have been excellent such as: Ashes, Monsters in the Woods and Night Drive. But, every so often they will back a dismal project like Behind Your Eyes. Deer Crossing falls in this second less thrilling category. Deer Crossing is an indie film production that was likely made for under 15K. The film notably stars: Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), Ernie Hudson (The Crow) and Christopher Mann. These actors are under utilized in a film that has no sense of pacing. There is no tension here, in what is supposed to be a thriller.

Cool! 56 year old Cynthia Rothrock is back! Rothrock was the undefeated middleweight Kickboxing/Weapons lady champion for five consecutive years and starred in a boatload of Dtv action adventures in the ’80s and ’90s. She has not been in a film since 2004′s Sci-fighter but she’s making a comeback in Double Fury, to be filmed this summer, and I’m kinda jazzed!
Here are the details:
SaintSinner Entertainment (www.saintsinnerent.com) along with Jaunted Productions (www.jauntedproductions.com) is currently in pre-production for a martial arts action film that’ll shoot this summer titled Double Fury.

Independent film company SaintSinner Entertainment, along with Jaunted Productions are currently in pre-production on a new martial arts action film that’ll shoot this summer titled Double Fury. And I’m excited to see the finished product already!
Why? Well the film, which is written and directed by Amel J. Figueroa (The Quiet Ones) sees veteran martial arts action stars (and my favourite on screen pairing) Richard Norton and Cynthia Rothrock re-teaming once again for the film which follows two estranged brothers brought back together after their father is murdered by a megalomaniacal madman who’s looking for a volatile package in one of their possession that could destroy all that they hold dear.
Double Fury also features a number of rising stars Cyrus Samson (Night of the Living Dead – 2012), Dennis Ronin (The Sickness), Natalie Amenula (Hamlet 2), Cynthia Housel (Iniquity), Rommel Gargoles (Black Ninja) and Laura Lynn Cottrel (The Replacements...

Potent Pictures is gearing up next month to shoot Deer Crossing from writer/director Christian Grillo. The film follows a woman named Maggy Chancelor (to be played by Laura Lynn Cottrel) as drives into the Pocono Mountains with her 6-year-old son Cole to visit family and is forced onto an unfamiliar detour. After she crashes her car while avoiding a deer on the road, Maggy and her son are “rescued” by a stranger—and are not seen for eight years. When Cole is eventually recovered and brought home at age 14, he tells retired detective Derrick Stanswood (Christopher Mann) the horrible story of what happened to them during that time.
The film is looking for some help to secure some extra financing, which horror fans are encouraged to check out here.
We’ll keep you updated soon.

Damien Colletti is a young talent that has already been involved in movies, television and even professional wrestling and he's really just beginning. Check out what we talked about below, everything from how he got into the business to the cool projects he's working on now to his love of horror movies and Taco Bell.
Brian S- Hey Damien, first off how did you get into acting?
Damien- Acting was something I’ve always wanted to do and thought about. I remember watching Arnold Schwarzenegger’s films (Conan the Barbarian, Terminator, etc.) when I was younger and loving them. I thought to myself to be like Arnold would be the life and I’d love to do what he’s doing one day! Lol. My mother, Cathy Lyons Colletti, was a successful theater actress (also a produced playwright, published writer, and director) so I was around acting at a very...
