Me Before You is a popular Emilia Clarke tragic comedy that has left many fans wanting to revisit the film since its initial release in 2016. Based on the eponymous bestselling book by Jojo Moyes, the film follows a recently paralyzed man named William (Sam Claflin) who sees the wonder of life thanks to his new caregiver, Louisa (Clarke). Bringing the beloved hit book to the screen was an easy decision for Hollywood executives in 2016, and the film's overwhelming sleeper success rewarded them.

Me Before You was largely met with middling reviews from critics, with a low 54% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but it had a decent 73% rating from the audience Popcornmeter. It was also a box office success that grossed over $208 million against a $20 million budget (via Box Office Mojo). Though it features several romantic movie clichs and there was criticism of how it handled physical disabilities, it was still a popular hit.

Now in its sixth year, Record Store Day continues to celebrate independent record stores by offering up a wide assortment of incredible releases for one day only. The latest, set for April 20th, is jam-packed with goodies: artists from Mumford & Sons to David Bowie and Mgmt are offering up limited-edition treats. Check out some of our favorites below.

Lots of exciting news for Staci Layne Wilson's upcoming short "The Key to Annabel Lee [A Woman in Triptych]" today. Not only is Dread Central home to the exclusive online debut of the film's full trailer, but we also have an update on when and where "Annabel Lee" will be having its premiere.

First things first … here's a quick overview of "The Key to Annabel Lee [A Woman in Triptych]":

Death, and things in threes, are major themes in "The Key to Annabel Lee [A Woman in Triptych]". Narrating and starring in the films (four shorts in all — best described as a cinematic form of installation art) is Nivek Ogre (Repo! The Genetic Opera), famous as the lead singer of the industrial rock band Skinny Puppy. Diane Ayala Goldner (Feast) appears as a wolf-like seducer in two installments of the experimental film, but "the star of the show, as in the poem, is Annabel Lee herself," says Staci. "She is the triptych of the tale,...

We've been talking about Staci Layne Wilson's upcoming short "The Key to Annabel Lee [A Woman in Triptych]" for a while now, and this week marks both the end of principal photography and the opening of the film's official website - on Edgar Allan Poe's birthday no less!

"Interestingly enough," says Wilson, "wrap date was locked in on Poe's birthday [January 19th]. We had some rather remarkable coincidences every date we shot — we commenced on December 8, 2010, which marked the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's assassination (whose song 'Imagine' fits our theme as well) and finished the bulk of our filming on December 15, the day one of my favorite directors and a great inspiration, Jean Rollin, passed away." The director adds, "I also think it's interesting to note that 'Annabel Lee' is the last complete poem composed by Poe, and it's the very first thing I directed."

Death, and things in threes,...

Staci Layne Wilson's upcoming short film "The Key to Annabel Lee" has, in Staci's words, evolved into a form of "installation art", and to give us a better idea of what to expect, she's provided Dread Central with two new exclusive stills and a quick clip.

The film stars Cherilyn Wilson (Parasomnia), Corrie Shenigo (After You), Diane Ayala Goldner (Feast I, II, III), and Nivek Ogre (Repo! The Genetic Opera) as "The Narrator". It involves an evil seductive wolf character (played by Goldner) and three incarnations of the tragic character of Edgar Allan Poe's Annabel Lee, played by three different actresses (Wilson, Shenigo, and Staci herself). Shot in Southern California on the shores of southern Los Angeles beaches, "The Key to Annabel Lee" uses gorgeous sweeping shots of ocean vistas as a backdrop for much of the action.

A new short film based on the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe.

Principal photography has wrapped on The Key to Annabel Lee, the directorial debut of film journalist Staci Layne Wilson (who also wrote the script), who has been a key member of the genre journalist faction for years at outlets like Cinefantastique, Syfy.com, and Horror.com.

Like several other new major journalists-turned-filmmakers (Jovanka Vucovick, Stacie Ponder, and Andrew Kasch) Wilson has decided to pick up the reigns and make the kind of film she'd like to see; one with amazing colors, costumes, makeup, emotion, and fantastical tragedy with a touch of the sensual.

The film stars Cherilyn Wilson (Parasomnia), Corrie Shenigo (After You), Diane Ayala Goldner (Feast I, II, III), and Nivek Ogre (Repo! The Genetic Opera) as "The Narrator", sporting a rather awesomely idealized Poe-esque demeanor and costume.
