Editor’s Note: The following story contains details of sexual abuse of a minor that may be disturbing to some readers.
Steve “Dobby” Dawson, the founding bassist of the influential UK metal band Saxon, has been sentenced to six years in prison for child sex offenses that took place in the 1990s.
BBC News reports that the 72-year-old Dawson was found guilty of four counts of indecent assault of a child under 14. Even more disturbing, Dawson was accused of repeatedly abusing a 6-year-old girl.
Detective Constable Robert Heath, who was in charge of the case, stated, “It is clear that his evil acts have remained with her throughout her life, and I hope this sentence goes some way to allowing her to move on from these traumatic events,” adding that the victim displayed “extraordinary strength” in coming forward with the allegations.

Robert Heath, director of horror film “Truth or Die,” said that when he first read the script for the film, he was impressed with its entertaining pace. “I’ve read a lot of horror scripts over the last 10 years and this one was something that wasn’t completely the most original idea in the world and the characters weren’t that original, but there was something about it that was well-paced,” he said. “…[M]ost of the scripts I’ve read over the last 10 years…I just sort of [would think] ‘Well, I know what’s going to happen next.’ This one, I actually felt it was a great read. It was one of those [ Read More ]

In the world's never-ending quest to confuse us as much as possible, two new horror flicks are under way with the same title, Safari. The good news? They couldn't be more different. Read on for the details regarding both of them.
Last week Bloody Disgusting dropped the news that Safari, a found-footage thriller, was gearing up to start shooting on October 15th in Johannesburg, South Africa. Directed by Academy Award nominee Darrell Roodt (Little One, Yesterday) and written by Dark Was The Night scribe Tyler Hisel, the pedigree is right for this one to be a cut above.
That film “centers on a band of American tourists, stranded and hunted in the heart of the South African wilderness. Their struggle to survive the elements and the vicious predators lurking the African plain is documented by the video cameras meant to record their vacation.” Rocky Myers (Vamp U) and Kim Argetsinger...

I have problems with revenge tales. Far too often they’re a retread, and I understand that the concept of revenge is universal but there are very few tales that are really good enough to make you care. Carrie is a good example of doing this kind of thing correctly; set up a protagonist and give them a reason to root for her while making the antagonists so deplorable that you’d like to jump into the screen and kill them yourself. Hopefully the upcoming revision with Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore can maintain that sensibility. But while that’s uncertain, one thing is: UK’s Truth or Die is not one of these films.

★★☆☆☆ British filmmaker Robert Heath returns to screens with Truth or Dare (2012), a low-budget horror that attempts to put a generic spin on the well-known party game of the same name. The film follows five university friends - Paul (Liam Boyle), Chris (Jack Gordon), Luke (Alexander Vlahos), Eleanor (Jennie Jacques) and Gemma (Florence Hall) - as they celebrate the end of term with a drug-fuelled party. Their antics, however, come at the expense and total humiliation of fellow student Felix (Tom Kane), who's always been somewhat of an outsider.

The premise of Truth or Dare almost seems like a bad joke, the kind of idea for a movie that only shows up in fiction when mocking lame-brained movie plots. There have been a thousand jokes about innocent games, objects, or animals twisted to sinister ends, but this movie actually goes ahead and makes that its main idea. This is, indeed, about a murderous game of truth or dare. And it is supposed to be taken seriously!
Let.s back up and explain a bit. Truth or Dare follows a group of college-age British kids as they go to a party being held at a remote mansion. The party is in celebration of the birthday of Felix (Tom Kane), an outcast whom some of them had humiliated at a different party several months earlier. One would think this should be a giant red flag, but they answer...

Truth Of Dare
Stars: Liam Boyle, Jack Gordon, Florence Hall, Nicky Henson, Jennie Jacques, Jason Maza, Tom Kane, David Oakes | Written by Matthew McGuchan | Directed by Robert Heath
I find with British horror, especially films with smaller budgets there is a tendency to stick to the mainstream idea of what is popular. Set up an injustice at in the first few minutes of the film then have a character come back for revenge. Its cliché, it’s over used and to be quite honest it’s boring. The ironic thing is though there is always a hidden gem that manages to shine through, down to some clever writing and actor choices. This is what you get with Truth or Dare.

Please, stop me if you’ve heard this one – a year after a college party game ends in humiliation for an unfortunate geek, the group of friends responsible are invited to another gathering, only to find themselves trapped and tortured by a vengeful psychopath. As its supremely unoriginal plot suggests, British horror “Truth or Dare” really is a film without a new idea in its head, director Robert Heath (“Sus”) being perfectly happy simply to rehash the same kind of clichés that were already getting distinctly stale by the end of the slasher boom way back in the 1980s. Making matters worse, there isn’t much else to the film beyond its tired premise, Heath showing an inexplicable lack of ambition, and refusing even to milk the ‘truth or dare’ gimmick for creative shocks or wacky death scenes. With the killer sticking to the exact same gag method each time...

*here be minor spoilers. Director: Robert Heath. Writer: Matthew McGuchan. Cast: Liam Boyle, Jack Gordon, Florence Hall, Nicky Henson, Jennie Jacques, Tom Kane, Jason Maza, and David Oakes. Truth or Dare is a revenge thriller created by director Robert Heath. Heath recently completed another dramatic thriller titled Sus in 2010. Heath has cast a wide range of actors for his latest. Arguably, Jennie Jacques (Shank) and television actor David Oakes have the most acting experience. Eleanour (Jacques) and Justin (Oakes) are also coincidentally the two main villains in this picture with Felix (Tom Kane) acting as a quiet and shy protagonist. Truth or Dare transitions from a revenge thriller into a gory horror picture thanks to a few twists along the way. And, this film is an enjoyable watch despite a few awkward scenes. The film's story is set up much like a trap in the first act. Justin invites several...

In reality, the party game Truth or Dare often results in teenage girls and boys wincing as they must all kiss one another for five seconds on the lips, before jokingly spitting out the germs soon after. Such a pattern is generally repeated until someone in the group either passes out, or goes in with tongues. However in Robert Heath’s psychological horror Truth or Dare, the game is taken to another level, as the harmless party event soon becomes a matter of life or death.
We follow a close group of friends at University, who spend much of their time going out partying, getting drunk and enjoying themselves. However on the outskirts of the group is the dejected loner Felix (Tom Kane), who is beaten up at a house party by Chris (Jack Gordon) having made an advance on his girlfriend Gemma (Florence Hall) during a game of truth or dare.

First announced back in March was Corona Pictures teen horror thriller Truth Or Dare, which we just landed the Afm sales art for. My guess is our leading lady, who's about to pop out of her dress, had a bad spin... Robert Heath, who made the 2010 political drama Sus, directed the thriller "about five teenage friends who are taken hostage by a psychopath and forced to play a deadly spin-the-bottle party game." The script has been written by Matthew McGuchan. The cast includes a crop of upcoming young British actors including David Oakes (Pillars of the Earth), Jennie Jacques (Cherry Tree Lane), Liam Boyle (Awaydays), Jack Gordon (Fish Tank) and Alexander Vlahos (The Indian Doctor).

Screenterrier posted the casting call for indie pyschological film Truth Or Dare, back in November 2010. With the film now in post-production, a full synopsis and first image have now emerged.
Five teenage friends are taken hostage by a vengeful psychopath and forced to play a party game with life-or-death consequences.
An end-of-year party for an 'alpha' group of first year university students turns nasty when a game of 'truth or dare' ends in humiliation for ultra-rich social misfit Felix. For five students at the gathering, this unpleasant but seemingly minor incident will have unexpectedly devastating repercussions.
Some months later, the friends meet again en route to a surprise party for Felix, who has been away traveling. Arriving at the venue - an old hunting lodge - they are met by Justin, Felix's charismatic older brother, who explains that Felix will be late for the party. He persuades the gang to...

First announced back in March was Corona Pictures teen horror thriller Truth Or Dare, which we just landed the first ever image from. My guess is our leading lady, who's about to pop out of her dress, had a bad spin... Robert Heath, who made the 2010 political drama Sus, directed the thriller "about five teenage friends who are taken hostage by a psychopath and forced to play a deadly spin-the-bottle party game." The script has been written by Matthew McGuchan. The cast includes a crop of upcoming young British actors including David Oakes (Pillars of the Earth), Jennie Jacques (Cherry Tree Lane), Liam Boyle (Awaydays), Jack Gordon (Fish Tank) and Alexander Vlahos (The Indian Doctor).

I’ll be introducing the film and its star, so obviously I will be there! A Q&A with Clint, moderated by Christopher Farley of the Wall Street Journal, will follow the screening.
You’re all Strongly encouraged to attend this screening, if you can. It’s an incredible, powerful film, very topical and relatable, especially for those of us who’ve been victims of wrongful police harassment, or know of people who’ve been victims. And, who hasn’t and/or doesn’t, right?
The acting is stellar across the board, it’s beautiful shot and edited, gritty, raw, engaging from beginning to end.
It’s a film you likely won’t get to see anywhere else after this,...

Continuing with previews of noteworthy films scheduled to screen at the upcoming Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles (Paff), from Feb 16 to the 23rd…
As I said in my last Paff profile, several of these films have previously been covered well on this blog, like Sus!
MsWOO profiled this Brit flick back in March last year Here; about 4 months later, I attended a screening of it, and posted a review on this blog which you can read Here.
In short, Sus is an engrossing drama, set entirely in an interrogation room, in 1979 London, in which a pair of racist cops question a black murder suspect. I dug it, and if you are planning to attend the Paff this year, and can only see a handful of films, it should be on your list of films to see! You’ll be glad you did!

As most of you know, Tambay and I are curators of an independent Black film series that has recently expanded into a five-day festival as well – ActNow: New Voices in Black Cinema.
The festival itself starts next Friday, February 4th and runs until Wednesday February 9th, and ActNow is proud to show the acclaimed British film Sus, starring (and produced by) Clint Dyer, directed by Robert Heath and written by acclaimed dramatist Barrie Keeffe. Tambay reviewed it here months ago.
With most of our lineup, ActNow’s blogger Tanya St. Louis has interviewed the directors or producers of the films, and here is her brief interview with Mr. Clint Dyer himself.
Clint Dyer
Please read it below and help spread the word about this important new film festival.
Tanya St. Louis: Clint Dyer is the actor and producer of the film Sus and I was lucky enough to ask him a few questions about Sus.

Four Lions (15)
(Chris Morris, 2010, UK) Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak, Nigel Lindsay, Arsher Ali. 102 mins
Still grasping the nettles others would rather strim over, Morris returns with a suicide-bomb-com that both makes you laugh, and makes you wonder if you should be laughing. Tracking an inept Sheffield terrorist cell with big plans, it's packed with priceless lines and inspired absurdity in an Ealing comedy-meets-In The Loop sort of way. But we're not let off that lightly. These are more than simple caricatures, and as their mission becomes increasingly real, in every sense, we laugh at our peril.
The Back-Up Plan (12A)
(Alan Poul, 2010, Us) Jennifer Lopez, Alex O'Loughlin. 104 mins
J-Lo returns to reclaim her title as lightweight romcom champion, with another surreally dumb relationship souffle that should have Jennifer Aniston quaking in her fluffy slippers.

(Craig McCall, 2010, UK) 90 mins

I was reminded by an email I received today of an enquiry I received over the weekend from a regular S&A reader about an upcoming British film called Sus. I’d never heard of the film before last Saturday and could only assume that it was about the so called “sus laws” which were used prolifically in the 1970s and allowed policemen to stop and search, and even arrest, people they suspected were about to commit a crime. These sus laws were used most heavily, and randomly, against black men in the 70s, causing much discord between Black British communities and the police, and it wasn’t until riots in Bristol, London and Liverpool in 1981 that these laws were dropped.
Turns out I was right. And in my online search for information about the film, it turns out that the screenplay was written by Barrie Keeffe, who penned the seminal 1980 British mobster flick,...
