Alexander Kots interviews refugee families in Russia. Editor note: Today I have this piece by war reporter Alexander Kots. He set out to find human interest stories among the over 10,000 refugees who have crossed over from the Donbass region into Russia, just in the past couple of days. Roughly half of these refugees are technically Russian citizens already, holding Russian passports. The other half being Ukrainian citizens who are resident in the Separatist-controlled Donetsk Peoples Republic (DPR) and Luhansk Peoples Republic (LPR). The order (issued by the leaders of those republics) to evacuate women, children, and elderly was given this past Thursday, […]

Residents of the French suburb where history teacher Samuel Paty was brutally slain and beheaded on Friday have been shocked by the incident, with some even saying they are afraid to allow their children back to school. “Our children are not safe, we don’t know what to do. We won’t allow them to school anymore,” a parent of a child attending the school where the murdered teacher worked says, in a video published by RT’s video agency Ruptly. Another parent, whose child is studying in the same class where the teacher showed cartoons deemed offensive by some, gave his account of […]
Once The Haunting of Bly Manor’s narrator (Carla Gugino) has finished her long, spooky story, a listener approaches her with some edits. “I liked your story,” she says. “But I think you set it up wrong. You said it was a ghost story. It isn’t. It’s a love story.” It’s a moment that reads as a wink from creator Mike Flanagan to fans of his first horror-anthology installment, 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House. That series used Shirley Jackson’s novel as a springboard for exploring familial grief, aided by a healthy dose of gothic horror—it’s set at a creepy mansion and […]
A Zamboni driver managed to successfully steer his vehicle safely off an ice hockey rink after it caught fire as onlookers watched on in horror. Stunned observers captured footage of the blaze, which occurred at Bill Gray’s Regional Iceplex in Rochester, New York. “How is he on there!?” one incredulous witness asked as the driver directed the Zamboni off the ice. An eyewitness said the driver made sure the Zamboni – which is fuelled by propane – was safely out of the rink because children were present. The incident occurred at a youth hockey practice session. Miraculously, the driver was said […]

Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/viral/202010101080733739-pences-fly-becomes-star-of-video-parody-inspired-by-horror-movie-the-ring/ The scene featured in the viral video was taken from the 2002 American remake of 1998 Japanese horror film “The Ring”. The housefly that managed to cause quite a stir online by landing on Mike Pence’s head during his vice presidential debates with Kamala Harris, apparently continues to serve as inspiration for humorous parodies on social media. A new video recently tweeted by Blumhouse Productions founder Jason Blume features what seems to be a slightly altered version of a scene from the 2002 American remake of 1998 Japanese horror film “The Ring”.

Heir to cinema’s body-horror throne, writer/director Brandon Cronenberg triumphantly follows in dad David’s footsteps with Possessor, a grandly gruesome sci-fi nightmare that traces the blurry line between the psychological and the corporeal, the real and the imagined, and the authentic and the affected. Coming on the heels of his prior 2012 Antiviral, it heralds Cronenberg as a formidable talent in his own right, marking him as an expert purveyor of schizoid violence and madness engineered to parasitically crawl under one’s skin. There’s plenty lurking beneath the surface in Possessor (premiering at select theaters and drive-ins on October 2, with a VOD […]
Everyone knows that live television isn’t easy. Anything can go wrong—from a faulty connection, a verbal slip-up, or, as was the case on Tuesday morning’s Fox & Friends, Rudy Giuliani bellowing insane conspiracy theories at the nation with no obvious way to stop him. It’s always a risk to allow Giuliani to share his wildly unpredictable stream of consciousness live. The man who was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2001 has long been reduced to sharing the latest Trumpist conspiracy theories on any cable news channel that has the budget to cover any possible subsequent defamation lawsuits. This […]
Anyone who’s kept up with Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills over the past three years knows cast member Teddi Mellencamp’s proclivity for holding others accountable. Not just in the “you didn’t come to my event!” or “are you friends with Brandi Glanville?” way but in regard to her actual occupation as an “accountability coach.” The mysterious title refers to Mellencamp’s accountability coaching program called All In by Teddi, a weight-loss system that’s faced scrutiny over the past week for its alleged harmful messaging, minimal diet, expensive fees, inexperienced staff, and hostile manner of holding clients “accountable” for their commitment to […]
In 2002, Matthew and Naomi, the latter eight months pregnant at the time, traveled to Norway for Naomi’s book tour. They were driving overnight to a signing in a remote area of the mountains when a gnarly winter storm hit and made continuing on not only unsafe, but almost impossible. They pulled over and decided to sleep in the car until it was clear to hit the road again. The new movie Centigrade, available on VOD and in drive-in theaters this Friday, begins when the young American couple wakes up, horrified to realize that their car has been completely snowed in […]
A highly contagious virus spreading rapidly through a crowded indoor space populated by individuals who sometimes put their own interests ahead of those of their fellow man, and a quarantine zone-enforcing government that offers false assurances that everything’s okay and everyone is safe—2016’s Train to Busan is a modern zombie classic that becomes more horrifyingly timely by the minute. Thus, it’s an ideally disquieting moment for the debut of writer/director Yeon Sang-ho’s sequel, Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, a follow-up that amplifies everything about its predecessor—for better and worse—while staying true to its core values. Debuting on VOD on Friday, Aug. […]
In space, no one can hear you scream—and that’s also true of being in a secret Soviet research facility circa 1983, the setting of director Egor Abramenko’s Sputnik. A clever riff on Alien (and its sequel) that generates solid suspense from assured formal touches and a story that only succumbs to heavy-handed gestures at a few key moments, it’s a capable horror show that, like its spiritual ancestor, suggests that terror is born in the womb—and, also, that every country is home to its very own deviously warmongering Paul Reiser. The untrustworthy official in question here is Colonel Semiradov (Fyodor Bondarchuk), […]
For a movie that bills itself as a “grindhouse PizzaGate satire,” there’s precious little grindhouse or Pizzagate in Duncan, the new indie thriller from Austin writer-director John Valley. But it is a satire. A shockingly effective one. Duncan levels its weird, Texas-tinged gaze on profiteering, conspiracy-peddling mass media—your Alex Joneses of the world—and cracks them wide open. “The movie’s about a guy out of his depth and led by an array of crackpot beliefs,” Valley told The Daily Beast. “That’s it. We can all relate to that.” The story is simple. A fictional Jones-style TV personality gets an anonymous tip about […]
Massive protests took place in Beirut, Lebanon Saturday following the mega-blast earlier in the week that tore through Lebanon’s capital with the force of an earthquake. More than 100 people were killed and 4,000 injured after a warehouse exploded near the port in Beirut. On Saturday tens of thousands took to the streets in Beirut denouncing Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists and their leader Hassan Nasrallah. August 8—#Beirut, #LebanonThis video says it all. Protesters are furious over #Iran-backed Hezbollah bringing nothing but death & destruction to their country. Unconfirmed reports claim various Hezbollah officials have fled to Turkey & Syria. pic.twitter.com/xNmuURriBO — Heshmat […]
The most haunting thing about She Dies Tomorrow is that although its central character is certain she’s going to… well, you know… it’s almost impossible to nail down how she actually feels about it. One would think that the most obvious reaction to one’s imminent demise would be terror. But as writer-director Amy Seimetz’s protagonist (also named Amy and played with transfixing subtlety by Kate Lyn Sheil) repeats the words “I’m going to die tomorrow” to anyone who will listen, that doesn’t seem to be her experience. Seimetz, who co-created Starz’s The Girlfriend Experience and used the money she earned starring […]
Like so many before me, I was recently trumped by Trump. I’m not the first, and I certainly won’t be the last, but I think I can at least lay claim to one novelty: He spoiled my movie. Well, not exactly spoiled—but he certainly gave away the premise when he “inspected” the White House bunker a few weeks back and then made headlines doubling down on the incident with his half-baked Bible photo op. In an instance of life-imitating-art-imitating-life and so on ad infinitum, I’ve spent the better part of the last year writing and producing an institutional horror film with […]
There’s horror in old age—the sort no one wants to think about, or look at, or discuss. It’s in that uncomfortable truth that Relic locates its greatest terror and, in doing so, delivers deep, gnawing dread that lingers long after its credits have rolled. The feature debut of Japanese-Australian filmmaker Natalie Erika James, who co-wrote the script with Christian White, Relic (premiering at drive-in theaters on July 3, and on VOD July 10) concerns three generations of women in an Australian family who are brought together by a puzzling crisis. Matriarch Edna (Robyn Nevin) has gone missing from her long-time rural […]
Last week the Gateway Pundit announced a prayer rally on Saturday at the iconic St. Louis Statue on Art Hill in Forest Park in St. Louis City. The radical left wants the St. Louis statue removed. Several priests showed up at the statue on Saturday to pray around the time of our rally. One local priest was heckled and harassed while he tried to explain the history of St. Louis of France.

Our feature film, Followed, which I wrote and helped produce, was supposed to open in over 300 traditional theaters across the country weeks ago. COVID-19, however, put the kibosh on that dream. It was to be my first screenplay to see national distribution, too. When I learned our movie would be released in drive-in theaters instead, it felt like another twist of the blade. I wanted, with all my heart, for audiences to experience our film inside the best theaters with optimum sound. Drive-ins, I thought, would be a second-rate, “lesser” experience. But then I realized something important I had long […]
A few of the women seemed nervous as the cameras began to roll and the orgy got underway—not unusual for newbies. Except there was one woman who appeared to be dodging a particular male performer. If he got too close, she’d walk off-camera or reposition, creating a buffer of other performers’ bodies between them. It seemed personal. His physical performance began to suffer. Ugh. Wood problems would mean longer working hours for everyone. When several performers called for bathroom and water breaks, and with the scene paused and fewer people nearby, he sat down next to her and asked why she […]

One of the unwanted side effects of Dr. Fauci’s national lockdown besides a surge in poverty and unemployment is domestic violence. Since the national lockdown started back in March there has been a significant increase in domestic violence in communities across the country. According to USA Today — Detroit received 769 domestic violence calls over the past two weeks of March, a 9% spike from weeks prior. Tucson, Arizona, police recorded 292 domestic violence incidents, also up 9%. In Santa Rosa, California, which has been under shelter-in-place orders since March 17, city police saw domestic disturbance calls jump from 42 a […]
Guardian: The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that the US is “leading the world” with its response to the pandemic, but it does not seem to be going in any direction the world wants to follow. Across Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, views of the US handling of the coronavirus crisis are uniformly negative and range from horror through derision to sympathy. Donald Trump’s musings from the White House briefing room, particularly his thoughts on injecting disinfectant, have drawn the attention of the planet. “Over more than two centuries, the United States has stirred a very wide range of feelings in […]
