THE DAWNSEEKER ** USA 2018 Dir: Justin Price 81 mins Five mercenaries are sent to an uncharted planet to get a rare mineral that will save the Earth. Once on the planet they are soon aware that they are being hunted by an alien stronger then anything they have encountered before. This alien known as The Dawnseeker also requires this mineral to sustain itself so it becomes a battle of survival for both species. This is the most I could glean from this Sci-Fi B movie to come anywhere close to describing it in a nutshell, it is quite hard…

INDUSTRIAL ANIMALS ** UK 2016 Sam Mason-Bell. 65 mins Co-writer / director Sam Mason-Bell also takes the lead role in this grim mockumentary, portraying the elitist documentarian who, with his equally loathsome cameraman (Thomas Davenport) sets out to capture on film three days and nights in the life of prostitute Tamsin Howland.

So it comes with great excitement to myself (Peter ‘Witchfinder’ Hopkins) that to celebrate the 25th anniversary of a pop culture phenomenon, all 218 episodes of THE X-FILES will be available in one place for the very first time. Mind-bending intrigue and extraterrestrial encounters await in the ultimate collection for any THE X-FILES fan! Inspired by a growing distrust in government and a fondness for the supernatural, Chris Carter’s pilot for The X-Files first hit our screens in 1993, and a cult classic…

CURSE OF THE NUN ** USA 2018 Dir: Aaron Mirtes 80 mins From the guy that brought us CLOWNTERGEIST right about the time of the release of the new IT movie, it would seem Aaron Mirtes has got his timing down to a fine art again as this time he brings us his nun movie right before the release of the eagerly awaited CONJURING spin off THE NUN.
