Julia X 3D
Director(s)
Synopsis
Julia is branded X in this well-wrought generic thriller fleshed out in 3D. The depth is enhanced, as well, by a multi-dimensional plot with doses of cheeky humor and verbal panache, as well as in-your-face visual thrusts that make keen use of the format.
Azlynn's willowy and aptly wayward performance as Julia laces the film with sexuality and mania. As her date (and oddly enough, sado-soul mate), Kevin Sorbo is dead-on perverse: With his weathered Fabio-like look and affection for the songs of Karen Carpenter, he's a mesmeric nutcase. Completing the terrible threesome, Alicia Leigh Willis is Lolita-ish alluring as the twisted little sister.

The Innkeepers
Director(s)
Synopsis
The Innkeepers is set in the venerable Yankee Pedlar Inn, which is about to shut its doors for good after over a century of service. Believed by many to be one of New England's most haunted hotels the last remaining employees -Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy)- are determined to uncover proof before it shuts down for good. As the Inn's final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage ghost hunters begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel's long unexplained history. The film was inspired by West and his crew's unnerving experiences at a similar hotel during the shooting of The House of the Devil.

Deadheads
Director(s)
Synopsis
In a world of putrid zombie movies, DEADHEADS is a breath of fresh air, says horror icon Bruce Campbell about the debut feature from the sons of Bart Pierce, the special effects photographer on the classic EVIL DEAD. A return to 1980's style comedy-adventure movies like BACK TO THE FUTURE and THE GOONIES, the Pierce Brothers winning combo of gory horror action, smart humour and heartfelt emotion follows zombie slackers Mike and Brent as they travel across country to find the former's old girlfriend and love of his life. But will those nasty bounty-hunting agents with a secret agenda catch them before they do? As a zombieland Abbott and Costello, actors Michael McKiddy and Ross Kidder's chemistry and timing are superb. And you'll just love Markus Taylor as the lumbering Cheese in this Road Trip of the Living Dead that's hilarious and surprisingly sweet
