British crime drama Manhunt, starring Doc Martin’s Martin Clunes, has become ITV’s highest rated new drama since the launch of Broadchurch in 2013. Is it this year’s Bodyguard?

The drama, which is produced by Buffalo Pictures and written by Ed Whitmore (Silent Witness), averaged 8.7M viewers across its three episodes, according to ITV, rising to 9M when online viewing was included. Growing from an overnight average of 6M, the catch up figures mean the show has become the most watched program of 2019 so far.

To put that into context, Bodyguard, the smash hit of 2018, opened with 6.7M live viewers with the first episode adding over 3M viewers to 10.4M after on-demand and catch-up viewers were added, making it the biggest new drama launch in the UK in ten years.

The show, which was picked up by streaming service Acorn in the U.S., stars Clunes as Detective Colin Sutton,...

Artsploitation has announced the North American release of the shocking Chilean horror film Trauma. The third feature from director Lucio A. Rojas, Trauma has screened at Horror Hound Film Festival, the Vancouver Badass Film Festival de Canada, Morbido Film Fest and the Optical Theatre Festival in Italy, where Rojas took home the award for Best Film.

Trauma is a shocking, brutal tale that blends the dark history of Chile’s recent repressive dictatorial past with the seemingly modern and progressive Chile of today. The two worlds clash when a group of women venture to the idyllic countryside for a weekend of fun. But their outing soon turns nightmarish when a victim of government torture stumbles upon them, unleashing his pent-up rage. Face to face with the depravity of man, the women must fight for their very lives. Director Lucio A. Rojas exposes the horrors of politics with evil that can...

True to its “#BetterHorror” motto, the program is jammed top to bottom with a mix of premier genre films from around the globe. Across the 188 films, there are dozens of world and North American premieres, a short accompanied by live in-theater music, projects from genre favorites, a Stephen King block, and even a new documentary section.

Johnny English Strikes Back and Paddington 2 star Ben Miller has joined the cast of ITV psychological drama The Man.

Miller will star alongside Christopher Robin and Killing Eve star Ken Nwosu in the three-part bullying drama, which was created by Doctor Foster and Press creator Mike Bartlett.

This contemporary drama will be directed by Julia Ford (Safe) and produced by Colin Wratten (Killing Eve). It is produced by ITV Studios’ Tall Story Pictures, the production company that recently produced Barlett’s Adrian Lester and John Simm-fronted Trauma.

The Man is a workplace psychological drama centered around middle management. Nwosu plays Thomas Benson, a hard-working father and husband who works in a business park outside of London.

Christopher Robin and Killing Eve star Ken Nwosu is to front a three-part drama written by Doctor Foster creator Mike Bartlett for ITV.

The British broadcaster has ordered The Man, to be directed by Julia Ford, who recently worked on Netflix’s Michael C Hall-fronted thriller Safe. Produced by ITV Studios’ Tall Story Pictures, the production company that recently produced Barlett’s Adrian Lester and John Simm-fronted Trauma.

The Man is a workplace psychological drama centered around middle management. Nwosu plays Thomas Benson, a hard-working father and husband who works in a business park outside of London. Reliant on bonuses and winning pitches, Benson often finds himself leading the team when trying to win new business. When he freezes during a pitch the fall out is monumental. Determined to win back a big client, Thomas goes to increasingly desperate lengths to remain successful. But as he does, he begins to feel undermined,...

Latin American women’s horror anthology “28,” Chilean Claudia Huaiquimilla’s “Riot” and titles from Mexico’s Marco Antonio Salgado and Colombia’s Contravía Films figure among 35 projects at the 7th Santiago Lab, one of the biggest industry attractions at this year’s Sanfic-Santiago Intl. Film Festival (Sanfic).

The full Sanfic lineup will be announced later today, July 31, in Santiago de Chile.

The Tribeca Film Institute already chooses one documentary title for the Tribeca Film Festival’s industry space. With Colombia’s Cartagena Festival selecting one title for its Puerto Documentary Workshop, one Santiago Lab title will also segue,...

“Cyberpunk 2077” is a first-person shooter with heavy RPG elements. Let’s get that out of the way first. When CD Projekt Red revealed its follow-up to “The Witcher 3” with a January 2013 teaser trailer, fans didn’t know quite what to expect.

Nearly an hour of gameplay shown off at E3 brings the grimy, dystopian future in focus. “Cyberpunk 2077” is based off Mike Pondsmith’s 1988 pen-and-paper RPG “Cyberpunk 2020.” In CD Projekt’s take on a future filled with extreme technological body modification, you’ll play a street merc named “V.”

It’s impossible to avoid comparisons to Square Enix’s recent “Deus Ex” games and Starbreeze’s 2012 “Syndicate.” However, with full customization at your fingertips, “Cyberpunk 2077” is set up to reflect more of the player than those games. At the outset you’ll choose to play as a man or woman, define your life path, and customize everything about your look.

NBC has given out the first series order from its pilot crop for the 2018-2019 season.

The medical drama “New Amsterdam” has been ordered at the broadcaster. Inspired by Bellevue, the oldest public hospital in America, the series follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold), the institution’s newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care. Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital — the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers and the President of the United States under one roof — and return it to the glory that put it on the map.

In addition to Eggold, the cast of the series also includes Freema Agyeman, Janet Montgomery, Jocko Sims, Anupam Kher and Tyler Labine. David Schulner...

When Showtime announced their lineup for their Masters of Horror anthology series back in 2005, one thing became clear pretty quickly: the show was going to focus almost entirely on American masters of horror. With the exception of Takashi Miike’s “Imprint” in season 1 and Norio Tsuruta’s “Dream Cruise” in season 2, the only episodes directed by a non-American are the ones directed by the great Dario Argento, the Crown Prince of Italian horror. And for those of you keeping score of these Italian horror designations, Mario Bava is the Godfather, Lucio Fulci the Maestro, Bruno Mattei the Fool. Everyone has their role to play.

Season 1, Episode 4: “Jenifer”

Director: Dario Argento

Original Air Date: November 18th, 2005

Argento’s first Masters of Horror offering, called simply “Jenifer,” is another highlight of the series and arguably the best thing the director has made since Trauma in 1993. Based on a 1973 comic book short story by Bruce Jones,...

One of the premiere LatAm genre film festivals, Fantaspoa, is mere weeks away from dropping a tonne of genre goodness to attendees in Porto Alegre, Brazil.    Staying true to their mission the second wave of titles have been announced and familiar names keep popping up. Demián Rugna's Aterrados and Lucio A. Rojas' Trauma will make their Brazilian premieres at the fest.

Blood Window, arguably one of the biggest influencers in the LatAm genre community, is holding its first ever film festival at the end of this month in the coastal city of Pinamar, Argentina.   Though they may be starting small, over a three day weekend, their program clearly packs a wallop as it includes many of the great LatAm titles from the festival circuit like Trauma, Terrified, What the Waters Left Behind and Tigers Are Not Afraid.    Aiming to be more than just a film festival Blood Window Pinamar also provides numerous experiences like a zombie walk, cosplay exhibitions and live shows. There will also be a tribute program for the Sitges festival, a sample of photos, historical posters and festival memorabilia.    Seeing...

Though the acquisition of Lucio Rojas' savage horror film Trauma was a done deal in the middle of February, the addition of Gonzalo Calzada's Luciferina to Artsploitation's roster warrants a mention. The genre label plans to release these two LatAm horror films, Trauma from Chile and Luciferina from Argentina, into the festival circuits, whoever dares program them. Then Artsploitation will unleash them on Blu-ray and VOD.    Two wildly innovative horror films, first screened at Ventana Sur in Buenos Aires, have been acquired for distribution by Artsploitation Films who plan to release them in 2018, first in select film festivals followed by Blu-ray and VOD.   Trauma, directed by Lucio A. Rojas (The Wicked Woods) is a vicious and shocking tale which blends the dark...

It has just been announced that Artsploitation Films has acquired U.S. rights to Lucio A. Rojas' Trauma. The deal was signed at the European Film Market. Trauma is inspired by the brutal political regime of Augusto Pinochet - a Chilean dictator. This horrifying title had its World Premiere in Mexico City at the Morbido Film Festival (2017). It is now slated for home entertainment formats in early May. A preview of the film's U.S. launch is hosted here. The brutal story begins with a group of women. They head out to a remote ranch, for peace and relaxation. Here, they are attacked and tortured by a group of men, who have already been tortured by Pinochet's regime. Chile's dark past and progressive present clash within Rojas' Trauma. Trauma was shot in Chile and is a Spanish language film. The film's U.S. release date has been announced as May 1st.

With implausible developments and character moves, ITV’s Trauma worked better in the abstract than in reality…

A single word: unsuccessful. That’s the final bullet point in surgeon Jon Allerton’s presentation on his treatment of a 15-year-old male stab victim. For the treatment to be under discussion at a Morbidity & Mortality meeting, the outcome would necessarily have been such, but the detachment of that word feels inadequate, almost callous. An ‘unsuccessful outcome’ is medical euphemism, language anesthetised to cover up the painful truth.

Three-part ITV thriller Trauma was about uncovering painful truths. It was the story of working class dad Dan Bowker (John Simm), and his unbending belief that he’d been lied to about the death of his son.

We spoke with actor John Simm about ITV’s three-part thriller, Trauma, which concluded last night…

This Monday on ITV and the BBC, you could barely move for John Simm dramas. BBC Two had the launch of Collateral, a four-part David Hare political thriller in which Simm plays MP David Mars (as in, life on). There was even bonus Simm to be had for the eagle-eyed, as the actor’s real-life daughter Molly played his fictional child Elfie in Collateral.

Film delves into Chile’s dark history under Augusto Pinochet.

Paris-based sales company Reel Suspects has secured a Us deal on its Chilean horror Trauma with genre label Artsploitation.

The Lucio A. Rojas-directed feature has also sold to German-speaking Europe (Indeed Films) and Japan (New Select).

The film follows four friends who, after being brutally attacked by a man and his son, discover that their assailants have ties to the darkest period of Chilean history – the brutal regime of dictator Augusto Pinochet.

Trauma was produced by Rodrigo Fernandez and had its premiere at the Morbido Film Festival in Mexico City in October 2017.

Matteo Lovadina from Reel Suspects said: “I felt obliged to acquire this film. It traumatised me. We have always been attracted by extreme films that can combine an author vision with genre elements. Genre fans will be petrified in front of such a shocking...

It’S All Over. And by that, I mean the Klingon-Federation war that threatened the very fabric of the alpha quadrant. Who would have guessed that all you needed to solve your problems was to talk to the opposition? Admittedly with a planet-destroying bomb planted in the centre of their world. But mostly just talking. It’s the Star Trek way.

I don’t even know where to begin with this episode. I just had a great time. Sure, not everything about the plot was perfect and the war did end a little too comfortably - but then what fictional war doesn’t?...

Writer Mike Bartlett tells us about writing his first Doctor Who episode and being a Who fan trying to act cool around John Simm…

Knock Knock, a haunted house story with a sci-fi twist, was a highlight of Doctor Who series ten. It gave us comedy from the Doctor and Bill, creepy goings-on from a race of alien lice, and an emotional third act with real heft. David Suchet's performance as an eerie student landlord also made for one of the most memorable guest roles in a long time.

Two things conspired to give a shot of adrenaline to Monday’s Oscar Nominees Luncheon, which is normally one of the most reliable and sedate rituals of awards season.

Doppelgänger Releasing teams up with Scorpion Releasing (and Code Red, in some fashion – more on that below) to release the standard Blu-Ray release (again, more on that below) of Dario Argento’s Opera. This is the first of out of the three films Doppelgänger & Scorpion will be putting out in the next couple of months for Argento and Soavi fans, with Soavi’s The Sect & The Church to follow, so let’s take a look at this release.

The Movie

Depending on who you talk to, Opera is often considered director Dario Argento’s “swan song”. Other films that may be considered his “swan song” could be Trauma or The Stendhal Syndrome but for me, I feel Opera is Argento’s last grandiose film with some great set pieces.
