Director Adam Mason’s dark comedy “Junkie” was recently acquired by the boys and girls at Indiecan Entertainment. With a little assistance from FilmBuff, the movie will soon be available on a variety of different platforms. This is definitely good news for those of you who love savagely humorous films about drug addiction. Although I didn’t love his 2007 flick “The Devil’s Chair,” I really thought Mason’s 2010 endeavor “Pig” was entertaining. Since the guy is hit and miss in my book, “Junkie” could go either way. At least it stars Robert Lasardo. That dude is a beast. Here’s the official synopsis if you’re curious about such things: Co-written by Mason and Simon Boyes, this twisted darkly comedic tale of out-of-control addiction stars Daniel Louis Rivas as a man trying to go clean, and Robert Lasardo as his psychotic brother, who will do anything to stand in his way.

The psychological thriller, which explores the destruction of a young couple's seemingly perfect marriage, can be watched instantly on Netflix and even on Amazon! "Scratch beneath their smooth yuppie surface and a wealth of secrets emerges after husband and wife Clark (Ian Duncan) and Summer (Tess Panzer) encounter car trouble and find themselves injured and stranded in the Nevada desert. Salvation -- they think -- comes in the form of a ghost town named Blood River and the gospel-spewing itinerant they encounter there. But soon they realize that the helpful stranger might not be so helpful after all."...

Director: Adam Mason. Review: Adam Wing. Appearances can be deceiving, especially in the case of Adam Mason’s psychological thriller Blood River. You’ll be forgiven for expecting something along the lines of Wolf Creek and The Hitcher, but after an all too familiar set up, Blood River turns into a worthier proposition. A successful young married couple are on their way to visit family when they pass a drifter walking cross-country. After a blowout on a desolate stretch of highway in Nevada, they head to the next town only to discover it long abandoned. That’ll be The Hitcher and Wolf Creek covered then, Adam Mason successfully avoids any further comparisons when his plot takes a devilish twist. It’s not long before Joseph joins them, the mysterious stranger they passed on the roadside. He takes an immediate shine to Summer (Tess Panzer) and gets on the wrong side...

Adam Mason's Blood River is a slippery beast, consistently playing with genre, tone, and misplaced expectations. Starting off as an almost painfully conventional riff on any number of The Hitcher-esque horror/thrillers (Breakdown and Wolf Creek in particular spring to mind, whilst the yuppie-in-peril movies of the 80s are also owed a debt) it slowly evolves into a far more complex and altogether more interesting film that tackles some rather weighty themes.
Clark (Ian Duncan) and his pregnant wife Summer (Tess Panzer) are on their way through the Nevada desert to visit her parents, when a massive blowout sends them off the road. Without a spare, they doggedly head to the nearest town on foot, bloodied and thirsty. When they arrive at the titular Blood River, it's a ghost town with only rotting animals and endless flies for company; until cowboy-styled drifter and all round religious zealot, Joseph (Andrew Howard) appears,...

You can see the influence of the Southern Gothic greats Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner in Blood River, and while one could note the former’s short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and novel Wise Blood as specific references, I think the MacBeth soliloquy that inspired the title of one of Faulkner’s masterpieces is more apropos: Blood River (screened at this year’s Fantasia festival) is “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Harsh words, indeed, but at least I left out the “It is a tale told by an idiot” part.
Let me take a step back for a moment. Blood River is a decent movie reminiscent of The Hitcher that’s disastrously derailed by a terrible conclusion that had me leaving the theater frustrated and shaking my head in irritated disappointment. But let me take another step back and give you the story setup.

- British writer/director Adam Mason's previous films, Broken and The Devil's Chair, have been described as many things, but subtle is not one of them. With Blood River, Mason and regular writing partner Simon Boyes have done a complete one-eighty (well, maybe one-forty) from the brutality and gore of their prior efforts and have delivered a psychological thriller with religious undertones. Clark (Ian Duncan, Creep) and Summer (Tess Panzer, in her first starring role) are a young couple on a road trip through the Nevada desert on their way to tell her parents that Summer is pregnant. When one of their tires has a blowout and the only soul around is a hitchhiker (Andrew Howard, The Devil's Chair) they had rather rudely brushed off earlier, the table is set for an intense tale of sin and retribution that leaves the audience wondering who the true hero of the movie is.

I've never used the phrase "tour de force" in a review before. I never liked it. I always felt it was one of those phrases reviewers held in their pocket and threw out there whenever they couldn't really get to the bottom of why they thought a film or a performance was great. And yet now, after watching Blood River, I feel compelled to use that darn phrase to describe it. I even looked it up to make sure I was indeed using it correctly; "expression meaning an exceptional creative achievement." Well that is indeed Blood River. A film where the writing, acting, directing, and cinematography, all work together to create a *gulp* a tour de force in every sense of the phrase.

**Please Note: This will be at the top for a while; be sure to scroll down for updated news stories!** Horror may currently be in a slump, but the 2008 American Film Market has shown a huge light at the end of the tunnel. This year showcased a record number of horror titles and Dread Central was on hand to catch a great deal of them. Some were good, some were bad but all showed that this genre still has plenty of lifeblood left. Many exhibitors were also kind enough to show us movie promos, while others coldly showed us the door (Lesbian Vampire Killers, I’m looking at you). The most promising show previews were easily Night of the Demons and Clive Barker’s Dread, with plenty of new projects being announced. Check out our full Afm '08 coverage here.
