Here’s the piece-by-piece breakdown: (Credit: ©2023 Hallmark/Allister Foster) Charlie’s quest has deeper meaning. “He’s hoping to get a record to win back his biological father Peter’s [Matt Hamilton] love,” executive producer Antonio Cupo says. Dalman, also autistic, helped make his character as real as possible. There’s no meet-cute in the love tale.

Very low-budget shocker sees American family stalked by the spectre of a bereaved mother taking vengeance on other people’s kids

Set in some densely forested, geographically-non-specific corner of Mexico, this very low-budget horror story features Autumn Reeser as suburban SoCal mom Carly Candlewood, who arrives for a holiday with her husband Andrew (Antonio Cupo) and young son Danny (Nicolas Madrazo). Together, they’re hoping to heal as a family after Carly’s recent miscarriage. Unfortunately, no one mentioned in the TripAdvisor reviews that the canals near the small hotel where the Candlewoods are staying have been haunted for years by a spooky ghost lady called La Llorona (Zamia Fandiño).

The name relates to the fact that she’s always crying for her lost child, and her own way of dealing with bereavement is to steal other people’s kids, especially at night or at least when the camera has...

The Legend of La Llorona is headed to select theaters on January 7th (with an On Demand / Digital release on January 11th) courtesy of Saban Films and we've been provided with an exclusive clip just for Daily Dead readers! In the clip below, young Danny is attacked while alone in the water, but his parents disagree on whether or not a supernatural spirit may have been involved.

"What's a Llorona? And what does it want with my son?" Saban Films has unveiled an official US trailer for a horror film titled The Legend of La Llorona, the feature debut of filmmaker Patricia Harris Seeley. This is the third horror film in the last few years about the Mexican ghost story of La Llorona. Warner Bros released The Curse of La Llorona, then there was also La Llorona from Guatemala last year. Do we really need another one? This one looks like the least interesting one yet. While vacationing in Mexico, a couple discovers their son's disappearance is tied to a supernatural curse. Aided by the resourceful taxi driver Jorge (Danny Trejo) the family races to save their only child, navigating the foreboding countryside held by menacing cartel thugs. Gaining strength and power and leaving a path of death and destruction in her wake, La Llorona is seemingly unstoppable.

Lifetime has done it again with a harrowing but thoughtful film on domestic abuse.

Sleeping With Danger is the first in a two-night true crime series based on Ann Rule's Mortal Danger True Crime Collection.

And with incredibly strong performances by Elisabeth Röhm and Antonio Cupo, powerful writing, and artful direction and more, Lifetime delivered a compelling and impactful piece.

When Kim Raver and Manu Boyer come together with Lifetime for films, magic seems to happen. We've seen it before with the Jane Green book-to-series event, and we are seeing it again now.

It's something about the style of their films that feels unique for the network. Their movies are elevated and high-brow.

They never exhibit a hint of camp, and they somehow skirt that indie vibe that's just a touch dramatic.

Remarkably, a network that can bring us cheesy Christmas movies and campy thrillers also excels with some of the most beautifully crafted,...

Lifetime has adapted another thrilling book series!

This time, they're pulling from Ann Rule's Mortal Danger and Other True Cases true crime collection.

It's part of a two-night series event starting Saturday, August 1, at 8/7c, and it kickstarts Lifetime's next slate of Ripped from the Headlines projects.

Lifetime veterans Elisabeth Röhm and Antonio Cupo star in the first film, Sleeping With Danger. It's a scintillating tale inspired by true events.

The film also sees the return of wife-husband duo Grey's Anatomy's Kim Raver and Manu Boyer, serving as executive producers.

They previously served as executive producers for Lifetime's three-film Book to screen series based on novels by best-selling author Jane Green.

It marks a reunion with both actors and the executive producers. Röhm previously starred in Jane Green's Family Pictures, and Cupo starred in Jane Green's To Have and to Hold.

Hey, "Blood & Treasure" fans. We hope you guys enjoyed tonight's episode 9. Now that it's officially over and done with, It's time to see what the producers will throw at us in the next, new episode 10, which is due to air next week. Thankfully, CBS did serve up a new press release for it. So, we have a few teaser descriptions to share with you guys. So, let's just jump right in into it. We'll go ahead and get things started with the usual title reveal. Episode 10 is officially labeled, "The Wages Of Vengeance." That sounds like pretty vicious title. Episode 10 sounds like it will feature some pretty intense, interesting and dramatic scenes as Danny and Lexi resort to underworld resources to take down Farouk. Gwen butts into Dani and Lexi's operation yet again and more. We'll go ahead and start off this spoiler session with the Danny and Lexi underworld resources situation.

One of the upcoming horror movies that I'm most interested in checking out as soon as possible is The Soska Sisters' remake of A History of Violence and Eastern Promises director David Cronenberg's Rabid starring Laura Vandervoort. And if you are looking forward to The Soska Sisters' Rabid as well, then today you'll be glad to hear we not only have the movie's first trailer but word that the flick will be hosting its world premiere at this year's London FrightFest Film Festival on August 26, 2019.

Again, I'm really looking forward to checking out The Soska Sisters' remake as soon as I can. If for no other reason than I've been waiting for Jen and Sylvia Soska to make a true new classic of the horror genre for years now. Currently, they are known for some mini-classics of the horror genre which include See No Evil 2 starring Kane, Danielle Harris,...

That was an effective change of pace.

The name Cleopatra barely came up on Blood & Treasure Season 1 Episode 8.

I worried about the hunt for Cleopatra getting old after a certain amount of episodes.

Instead, the powers that be decided to use Danny and Lexi's unique skill sets to solve a different mystery.

It was a nice breather from chasing the ghosts of Nazis all the time.

Instead, Danny went home to Boston and Lexi came with him.

Not that they had much choice as they were pretty much shanghaied by FBI Agent Harper to assist him in a cold case that had a personal connection to Danny.

Yep, that's another cool title for this very cool show. It sounds like episode 9 will feature some very interesting, adventurous, action-filled and dramatic scenes as Danny and Lexi head out to Montreal for another mission. Gwen and Fabi reach a breaking point and more! We'll go ahead and start off...

Why not go to Casablanca, if only so you can dust off every cliche related to the classic film based in the Moroccan city?

And unbelievably that worked on Blood & Treasure Season 1 Episode 7.

One big reason was that there was actually some progress made on this global treasure hunt, at about the halfway point of the season.

Up until now, the series has been an awful lot of action with precious little results. While that may work for a while in a video game, it's not the formula for an enduring TV show.

Since Danny and Lexi's choices in pursuit of Cleopatra had put them on the outs with Gwen, the only law-enforcement type that either of them trusted, they spent a great deal of this episode on the run.

Jay's black card stopped working, and the Casablanca police were searching for them, undoubtedly at the request of Interpol.

Hey, "Blood & Treasure" fans. We hope you guys enjoyed tonight's episode 7. Now that it's officially aired and done with, it's time see what other adventures Danny and Lexi will get into in the next, new episode 8. Thanks to the lovely CBS folks, we do have a couple of teaser descriptions for episode 8 via their press release. So, that's definitely what we'll be using for this spoiler session.

Their previous, and debut, flick was Dead Hooker in a Trunk, which was written and directed by the spooksome twosome, who also appeared in main roles in the flick. It wasn’t anything special as far as I’m concerned but it has a cult following and it did show the capabilities of these two genuinely interesting filmmakers as well as offering a glimpse at what they could do in a shoestring budget and no-name talent.

American Mary came onto my radar when I saw advertisements for it premiering at London’s Frightfest horror weekend and...

At first glance the directing duo of Jen and Sylvia Soska might appear to be little more than a shtick. Twins with jet black hair, wonderfully foul mouths and an affection for the bloody wet stuff, they could easily be mistaken for filmmakers more interested in style than substance. But while their feature debut, Dead Hooker In a Trunk, is a brilliant title in search of a worthwhile film, just three short years later they’ve made a dramatic leap in quality with their sophomore effort. American Mary is part revenge thriller, part black comedy and part body modification training video, and it works hard to tell an original and entertaining story. It’s an odd film destined to stand apart in a genre overrun with ghosts, found footage and masked serial killers, and the fact that it’s anchored by a fantastic female lead performance is just icing on the blood-lined cake. Keep...

Directors/writers: Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska. Cast: Katharine Isabelle, Antonio Cupo, Tristan Risk, David Lovgren and Paula Lindberg. This horror film fan knows the Soska sisters, Jen and Sylvia, through their previous work, Dead Hooker in a Trunk. This viewer was not a fan of this early work. However, the Soska sisters latest endeavour is a vast improvement over this 2009 film. Their latest, American Mary, takes some time to build momentum, but the journey to the blood-soaked conclusion is still an enjoyable time. There are some weak moments involving shallow characterizations and poor tension between Bloody Mary (Katharine Isabelle) and the villains in this body horror piece; yet, American Mary is a compelling time, mostly due to actress Katharine Isabelle's solid performance. The film's story is diverse. Though, the central story focuses on Mary Mason and her difficulties with school and financial responsibilities. Mary hopes to be a surgeon,...

This week American Mary, the Soska Sisters’ stunning follow-up to Dead Hooker in a Trunk, arrives on Blu-ray and DVD courtesy of XLrator Media; and to mark the occasion, we recently chatted with the Twisted Twins about their latest release, what's next, and much more.

Check out the highlights of our exclusive interview with the Soskas below, and look for American Mary on Blu-ray and DVD everywhere now!

Dread Central: Thanks so much for taking the time to chat today, ladies- you did a fantastic job on the film and created an incredible character for Katharine [Isabelle]. What was it in your minds that made her perfect to play Mary?

Jen Soska: Well, as a rule, we never ever write for a particular actor; we usually have types in mind, but when we’re trying to create characters, we try and put as much of that out of our minds as we can.

XLRator Media is releasing their new horror-thriller American Mary on Blu-ray and DVD June 18. We don't have any pricing details at this time, but you can take a look at the Blu-ray cover art and special features details below.

"Twisted Twins" Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska are back with their stunning follow-up to the indie hit Dead Hooker in a Trunk. American Mary is the story of a medical student named Mary who is growing increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the established doctors she once idolized. The allure of easy money sends a desperate Mary through the messy world of underground surgeries which leaves more marks on her than the so-called freakish clientele. Appearances are everything.

Behind-The-ScenesCommentary with Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska, Katharine Isabelle and Tristan Risk

American Mary was released May 31st, 2013 and stars Katharine Isabelle, Antonio Cupo, Tristan Risk, David Lovgren,...

Even for a person with no tattoos or piercings and little interest in goth pin-up culture, there’s plenty of interest to explore in American Mary. The story of a struggling medical student who more or less accidentally becomes a body modification expert, the sophomore effort from twin filmmakers Jen and Sylvia Soska is polished and smart.

American Mary is significant step up in quality from their debut, Dead Hooker In A Trunk, even when it fails to dissect the larger sociological context or even the direct emotional ramifications of its young protagonist’s unconventional career choice. Alternately creepy and languid, incisive and aimless, American Mary examines a provocative subject, heralding the duo as a couple of the genre’s next great voices – that is, as soon as their follow-through proves as strong as their set-up.

Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps) plays Mary Mason, an aspiring surgeon who turns to stripping...

The Soska Sisters' 'American Mary' has just opened in select theatres across the Us including La, New York, Austin, Chicago and San Diego and is still currently showing everywhere else on VOD. And in case you are still yet to check out Katharine Isabelle ('Ginger Snaps') as Mary, the scalpel siren, in this twisted little thriller then maybe this new clip bought to us by Dread Central will help influence your decision. The clip features a few worthy surgery candidates getting snapped by Isabelle including a pleasingly buoyant chested chick shaking her goods. Paula Lindberg ('A Town Called Eureka'), Julia Maxwell, Antonio Cupo ('Dark Angel'), David Lovgren, Twan Holliday and Tristan Risk also star. Head below to check out the latest clip....

Yet another new clip from American Mary has arrived, and this one is of the not safe for work variety. Being that it's Saturday, most of you should be able to watch freely. The rest of us working stiffs may wanna exercise caution in the name of boobies.

The flick, available on VOD since May 16th, will be opening in Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Chicago, and San Diego on May 31st. Written and directed by the Soska Sisters, American Mary stars Katharine Isabelle, Antonio Cupo, Tristan Risk, David Lovgren, Paula Lindberg, Clay St. Thomas, John Emmet Tracy, and Twan Holliday.
