End Trip Movie Review – Psychological Thriller From Aaron Jay Rome

End Trip Movie Review – Psychological Thriller From Aaron Jay Rome

, , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

End Trip, the psychological thriller from writer-director Aaron Jay Rome and prolific pictures will make you think twice about tapping the screen to order your next Uber ride. This moody, character driven film slowly taunts the viewer with the unsettling ideas of stolen identity as it reveals the intentions of its mentally disturbed killer. Find out more in this End Trip Movie Review. As someone who has never dared give a ride to a stranger, no matter what lucrative opportunities a ride app service might offer, End Trip feels like justification for my apprehension. Though part-time cabbies nationwide have saved countless lives by keeping drunk drivers off the road, these filmmakers ask us to consider what would happen if your next fare had a more deadly destination in mind. End Trip has a pivotal twist I won’t ruin with a plot summary, except to say that the set-up for the film involves a the late night passengers of a good natured driver named Brandon and the relationships he builds along

During the Cannes Film Festival, Prolific Pictures revealed many of the movies they plan on distributing throughout 2018. Titles like….. REGiONRAT, a coming-of-age drama based on the novel by Richard Laskowski: Ray lives in the Region, an industrial wasteland in Northwestern Indiana. The residents there are known as “regionrats,” because they’ll eat anything and are hard to kill. Ray is hard to kill, but the Region will try. He’s Ferris Bueller on a losing streak, learning lessons he didn’t need to learn, the hard way. In the end, Ray finds his way out, but he’ll go through hell to get there. EYE FOR AN EYE, from director Steven Lambert: A disavowed CIA agent goes on the run when she is attacked by mercenaries who have learned she possesses a missing memory card containing information that could start World War III. THRESHOLD, an innovative new take on a Greek myth: A group of graduating college seniors find themselves stuck in the spooky residence of the college President after a graduation party.

Ride-Sharing Gone Wrong In End Trip

Ride-Sharing Gone Wrong In End Trip

When you think about the fact that you’re getting into the car of a complete stranger — something they warned you not to do in grade school for various reasons — the ridesharing business would seem ripe for tales of horror. Prolific Pictures is readying what they call an “Uber Frightening Thriller” for its debut at Cannes. Not only is End Trip a relatively new horror concept, it’s kind of a twisty one, involving two converging timelines and multiple roles. We had some difficulty following this: “In one timeline, Brandon, a likable rideshare driver, spends an evening charming a passenger, Judd, for a 5-star rating and a hefty tip. In the other timeline, Brandon arrives home after his long shift and climbs into bed with girlfriend, Stef. Stef screams. He’s not Brandon! The rideshare with Judd continues, growing creepier by the mile, as Brandon forces Stef to play his girlfriend. The two timelines come together in a shocking twist, and Stef must fight for her life against a ruthless serial

The Minotaur Approaches In Threshold

The Minotaur Approaches In Threshold

Prolific Pictures has announced that they’re beginning pre-production work on Threshold, a new horror-fantasy film they hope to release sometime in 2019. Once upon a time, possibly last week, a gang of rowdy college kids decided to break into the mansion of the Dean and mess around. Unfortunately the last thing they ever expected to happen just happened: as they wander through the hallways, they find that they don’t end. The house has been turned into a magical labyrinth and somewhere roaming its halls is a deadly and hungry minotaur. It’s an interesting spin on a very, very old tale, using the familiar to make the classics new again. Threshold was written by George Kaplan and  Michael Hayes and Brian Kelly Jones are serving as producers. The project is early enough in development that a director hasn’t been chosen yet, nor has a cast been found. That embarrassing drawing up above isn’t from the movie either — it’s a piece of public domain clip art. But Prolific is currently shopping

The main plot thread throughout the Alien movies is basically that a giant corporation wants to capture an alien creature for study, oblivious to the fact that said creature would obliterate mankind. Then someone named Ellen stands in their way multiple times and saves Earth. But what if the corporation’s mission was successful? That’s the situation the upcoming sci-fi film Astro explores. According to the official description, the story involves “a billionaire’s private space exploration program returning to Earth with an abducted extraterrestrial from a newly discovered alien planet.” Trouble comes with it. Astro was created by Asif Akbar and Bernard Selling, and they have big hopes and dreams for it. They’re launching an Astro book series around the same time as the release of the movie, and they’d like to do more. “We are excited to create and introduce a new modern day science-fiction franchise to the world”, says Akbar. The movie stars Louis Mandylor, Max Wasa, Omi Vaidya, Luke G. Crosby, Orson Chaplin, Gianni Capaldi, Spice Williams-Crosby, Courtney

Sci-Fi Horror Flick “Canaries” To Debut At Cannes

What kind of prestigious, world-class examples of filmmaking will make their debut at the Cannes Film Festival next month? You probably weren’t expecting “wacky low-budget horror-comedy about invading UFOs,” and if you were, then you weren’t expecting the UFOs to invade Wales. That’s what you get in “Canaries,” the first announced movie to be screening from genre distributors Devilworks. According to their official description, it is about “a group of friends at a New Year’s Eve bash in the Welsh Valley, who must fight against an invasion force of time traveling aliens.” We’re not sure what the title is in reference to — perhaps it’s Welsh slang we’re not hip toward. “Canaries” stars Robert Pugh (Game Of Thrones, Doctor Who, Master & Commander) and Hannah Daniel (Netflix’s Hinterland), and was written and directed by Peter Stray. It’s coming to Cannes, whether they’re ready for it or not. The trailer lies below. The Cannes Film Festival runs from the 8th through the 17th of May.
