Along with The Mist and Dreamcatcher, Cycle of the Werewolf was one of my first introductions to Stephen King, so the Master of Horror's powerfully poignant prose in that novella—combined with the legendary Bernie Wrightson's amazing illustrations—will forever hold a special place in my horror-loving heart, and so too does its film adaptation: Dan Attias' Silver Bullet (which really captures the blood-soaked slice of small-town life in Tarker's Mills).
It's especially thrilling, then, that Scream Factory will be unleashing their Collector's Edition of Silver Bullet on 4K Uhd and Blu-ray just in time for the holiday season, and we have a look at the full list of bonus features fans can look forward to, including a new audio commentary with Eric Vespe and Scott Wampler of The Kingcast!

Winston DeGiobbi's Mass for Shut-Ins (2017) is exclusively showing August 23 – September 22, 2018 on Mubi in most countries in the world as part of the series Canada's Next Generation.Arriving with an unexpected boom of Nova Scotian inspiration alongside Ashley McKenzie’s Werewolf, Seth Smith’s The Crescent, Cory Bowles’ Black Cop, Winston DeGiobbi’s artisanal and anarchic debut feature is one of the most distinct visions to emerge in a larger movement of recent Canadian independent cinema. Easily likened to Harmony Korine for its on-the-ground in-the-thick of it poverty-grit setting and style, Mass for Shut-Ins, is, refreshingly, a film that seems born directly out its own milieu rather than out of any sort of reverential relationship to cinema. DeGiobbi possesses a sensitivity and skill in taking observations of his surroundings and channeling them into something just bent past realism into a discreet poetry where mundanity and strangeness blur as one.

Ashley McKenzie's Werewolf (2016) is exclusively showing July 20 – August 19, 2018 on Mubi in most countries in the world as part of the series Canada's Next Generation.Werewolf is a summer movie. Not in the blockbuster sense. Not in the genre sense either, despite any lure offered by the title. The film is a relationship drama about a methadone-dependent couple who spend a summer dragging a rusty lawn mower door-to-door in their small town to make money.The film is set in the place where I live, Cape Breton Island. Summertime here is prime. There is a pressure to make the most of it, otherwise you blink and you’re shovelling snow again. You swim, hike, camp, sun, and socialize, if your life affords you the freedom to partake in such activities.It was this time six years ago that I started to write Werewolf, my first feature film. I moved back...

I’m not a lawyer. But I’m a lot more familiar with lawyers these days, having spent the last three years working with a bunch of them (including more “recovering lawyers” than one would expect) and marketing things to lawyers all day every day. So maybe this time I came back to Batton Lash’s long-running “Supernatural Law” comics series with just a bit more understanding of who he’s talking about and what some of the jokes mean.
(The supernatural side of Supernatural Law is much simpler: Lash’s bedrock sense of the supernatural is pretty much that of monster movies from the B&W era, all Draculas, Frankensteins, and Wolfmen. There are no hot-to-trot young women with lower-back tattoos and complicated love lives, no modern wizards, no elves hidden in plain sight, no unexpected Grail quests. Actually, given that Lash isn’t a lawyer himself, his take...

Prototype (Blake Williams)The 36th Vancouver Film Festival recently wrapped, and with it, the second year of the Future//Present program, a selection of eight features (and a number of shorts) dedicated to emerging Canadian filmmakers. If the inaugural edition had the task of distinguishing itself from the rest of the festival's True North “stream,” this year's offered the opportunity to cement its relevancy and expand its vision. That's something for which the admirably varied program proved more or less able, albeit with higher highs and lower lows than in 2016, which speaks, at least, to chances being taken (something that can't necessarily be said of the festival's programming in general). Taken on the whole, there are—beyond the uniting sensibility of critic and programmer Adam Cook—filmmaking trends that one could identify, and patterns that one could connect, for better and for worse, to the larger contemporary arthouse scene. But the most successful selections,...

As Donald Trump and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau met face-to-face at the White House on Monday, Canadian directors in Berlin sounded off on the new U.S. president.
Ashley McKenzie, director of Werewolf, a gritty look at opiod addicts in her native Cape Breton, said Trump was "delusional" after telling a recent roundtable of county sheriffs that building a wall on the Mexican border will end the opiod epidemic in the U.S.

Those of us who see Canada as an ideal refuge for the problems currently plaguing America should check out Werewolf, a stark, disquieting portrait of a pair of recovering drug addicts trying to scrape by in the suburban wilderness of Cape Breton Island.
Marking the first feature effort of writer-director Ashley McKenzie, the film is reduced in scope and seems to skirt the line between documentary and fiction, making for a dark study of mutual dependence that’s more about observation than drama. After premiering in Tiff last year, this potent minimalist debut should continue its respectful festival run and find...

This morning the Canadian Screen Awards announced their 2017 nominations, recognizing the best of last year's Canadian films.
The awards are given out by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. This year's nominees boast a diverse line up of films that tell stories not just in English and French, but also Mandarin, Atikamekw and Inuktiut.
The most high-profile of the bunch would have to be Xavier Dolan's It's Only the End of the World, which is a likely contender at the Oscars this year in the Best Foreign Language Film category. It made the shortlist of nine films that will be considered at the Oscars, which also includes Germany's Toni Erdmann and Chile's Neruda.

The Canada-Ireland co-productions were among the highlights of the past year as the organisation used its annual public assembly on Wednesday to look back at some of its accomplishments.
Attendees – a mix of invited members of the public and professionals from Canada’s audiovisual industry – heard how in 2015-2016 Telefilm Canada supported the production of 110 and the marketing of 105 features and the development of 258 projects.
Heading into its 50th anniversary year in 2017, the organisation helped promote Canadian talent at 42 festivals and 102 events and initiatives across the country and at 34 festivals, markets and events around the world for a total investment of $95.7m.
2015-2016 marked Telefilm’s 40th anniversary in co-production management. In 2015, total production budgets for 53 film and television treaty co-production projects amounted to $447m and involved 15 partner countries.

Last year the The Globe & Mail released an article entitled "What is Wrong with the Canadian Film Industry?" that outlined the problems facing our country’s cinema: low box-office numbers, a crisis of English-Canadian identity, an inability to compete with Hollywood entertainments etc., etc. Focused entirely on the industry, the piece fails to mention the resurgence that had been taking root for quite some time. 2015 was an important year for Canadian cinema, but while Room, Hyena Road and Wet Bum ate up the article’s word count, three of the year’s great Canadian films by emerging directors went unnoticed: Isiah Medina’s 88:88, Kurt Walker’s Hit 2 Pass, and Kazik Radwanski’s How Heavy This Hammer. Equating cinema with ‘content,’ a product to be bought and sold, the article is as much a reflection of the problems with Canadian cinema as an exposition of it. But this insidious...

As Without So WITHINDear Fern,"Risky" festival choices can take all sorts of forms, whether betting on first time filmmakers (Hello Destroyer, which you rightly praised, and Ashley McKenzie's promising, incredibly compassionate debut Werewolf), or hoping that something as potentially goofy as Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids might just be something special. (Judging by both our responses, it very much was—in fact, it's one of the best films of the year.) Still, I encourage you to come to Wavelengths with me—it's bliss!While much of the festival area here in Toronto is fairly condensed, which finds us sprinting across a multiplex with mere minutes between screenings or from one venue to another but a few blocks away—these being press and industry timeslots; the public ones are spread around a bit more—I had the pleasure to discover more of our host city by tracking down several...

Writer/director Ashley McKenzie‘s feature debut Werewolf picks up right where her 2012 short When You Sleep left off. We’re back in Canadian squalor on the poverty line with a couple barely staying afloat as society and addiction continuously seeks to drag them under into an abyss of forgotten souls. Frustration abounds as they hide beneath thick skins necessary to survive bureaucratic paper-pushers citing rules and regulations alongside a populace who’d rather ignore than lend a hand. Vanessa (Bhreagh MacNeil) looks defeated mostly, Blaise (Andrew Gillis) enraged with a fire of entitlement that does him absolutely no favors. They should be a team striving tooth and nail for more. But it’s not long before we understand the parasitic relationship masked by a heartbreakingly dangerous love at work.

The 2016 Toronto International Film Festival is almost upon us and it will feature plenty of highly anticipated premieres, but the festival will also debut many films by up-and-coming directors who should be on everyone’s radar. One of these is Ashley McKenzie’s debut feature “Werewolf,” a raw and poetic portrait of the authentic experience of two homeless, twentysomething methadone users in small town Cape Breton. The film follows the lives of Nessa (Bhreagh MacNeil), a waif lost in a harsh world, and Blaise (Andrew Gillis), a creature of impulse who’s easily provoked by his environment. They survive primarily through an underground economy, sleeping in tents, and fighting with bureaucrats and clinic doctors. This relationship drama captures the real humanity of isolated raw pain and the disorientation of modern life. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.
