In a time where CGI and other digital technology reign as the kings of cinema special effects, Full Moon Features has released a film with old school SFX and a production timeline nearly half a century-long, spanning from conceptualization to release, with The Primevals. And this timeline length is no exaggeration. The road to this film’s release began with plot elements used in the 1968 short film Raiders of the Stone Ring by writer-director David Allen (Puppet Master II and The Howling) that evolved into a full-length film script by 1975 and then produced by Charles Band in 1978. Alas,…

These movies are just what want when you have a serious need for speed.

What they did, at around 10 p.m. on Aug. 20, 1989, was shoot their parents to death in the family’s Beverly Hills mansion on Elm Drive, a 9,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style home previously leased by the likes of Prince and Elton John before Jose Menendez and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez bought it less than a year before the murders. Jose, a 45-year-old entertainment executive, was shot point-blank in the back of the head with a 12-gauge shotgun. He was found in the den, where he and Kitty, 47, his wife of 26 years, had been watching a movie. Kitty was found lying in a pool of blood in the…

If you’re like me, you’re counting down the days until FROM returns for its third season. It’s been a while since we were back in that dreadful town, watching things fall apart before a last-minute save by Boyd essentially saved the town from succumbing to whatever had been plaguing them and making it impossible to sleep. With the town in recovery mode, the second season ended with Tabitha pushed out of the lighthouse and spit back into the real world, with her family none the wiser. (Chris Reardon/Epix) It was one of the wildest season cliffhangers you’ll ever see. With…
