When last seen around these parts, fiery haired actress Tara Cardinal was doing her superhero thang alongside Lou Ferrigno in Liberator. But now she's going back in time for a whole different brand of heroics in The Legend of the Red Reaper...and guess what — she's bringing Uwe Boll along for the ride!

Written and directed by Kristen Barron Stewart, Red Reaper is an action-packed tale filled with witches, demons, war and romance — in other words, everything that makes the world of fantasy go round.

Cardinal stars as the titular Reaper, a warrior born of a witch and destined to save mankind from the return of the exiled demon horde. (No, not the Tea Party. That battle has already been fought and won.) Also appearing are David Mackey, Eliza Swenson, Christian Boeving, Shayne Leighton and Troma founder, eminent bon vivant and madman Lloyd Kaufman.

Red Reaper has been Cardinal's passion project for years.

Legend of the Red Reaper had new life breathed into it after the producers jumped ship along with a large amount of the production budget.

The film, written and directed by Kristen Stewart (no relation to the Twilight actress), had a bumpy ride. It was rewritten, recast and the crew was shaken up. According to the most recent press release, “Houses were foreclosed, some body parts donated to science - but the money was raised to tell a story that I believe in with my heart soul (and some long lost body parts).”

Eventually Uwe Boll came on board as producer.

“Editor after editor jumped ship, holding up the project even further. Finally, Uwe Boll came to the rescue. The project was brought to his attention by lead actress Tara Cardinal, who also appears in two of his other projects, (Zombie Massacre and the Profane Exhibit with Clint Howard). Uwe,...

Whether you love him or hate him, Uwe Boll is back with his latest indie film, “Legend of the Red Reaper.” The film, based on the comic series that shares its name, was directed by Kristen Stewart (not the “Twilight” Kristen Stewart) and stars Tara Cardinal, David Mackey, Ray Eddy and Eliza Swenson. The screenplay was also written by Stewart; other writing credits go to Basha Barron, Arielle Jayme, Tessie Jayme, Kim Pritekel and Ricky Roxburgh. Boll acted as the film’s executive producer. Like I said, the “Twilight” Stewart isn’t behind this film, but the subject matter doesn’t seem to far outside her wheelhouse of sci-fi/horror/action. The film follows a [ Read More ]

It is truly amazing how many indie thrillers release each year under the radar. The Sacred is just such an obscure film from second time director Jose Zambrano Cassella. This film deals with an ancient Native American curse. Five archaeology students set out to investigate an ancient Floridian tribe and instead they find a warning: "only those with a pure heart may pass judgement." And in modern times those pure hearts are harder and harder to find.

So, these five friends find a guide to take them to an ancient native camp. They are warned to return by nightfall, but the forces on the island have other plans for them. Pete (David Mackey), Miranda (Jessica Blackmore), Jackie...

Lisa Varga takes aim in Armed and Deadly.

The martial arts action-thriller film Armed and Deadly tells the story of beautiful Janis McKenzie (Lisa Varga, Marley & Me), an Iraq War vet scarred by traumas both on and off the battlefield — including a near-death experience and the loss of her lover.

When Janis returns home, she’s haunted by her greatest demon: the death of her parents at the hand of her twin brother, Jamey (Kenneth Stellingwerf). As Jamey’s release from prison approaches, the hardened Janis must call on her strength and confront her troubled past — and possible future.

Directed by Andrez Mrotek (The Proxy) and co-starring Audrey Landers (A Chorus Line) and David Mackey (The Sacred), the unrated movie skipped theaters, making it a DVD premiere in the U.S.

This one looks like it has the same kind of appeal as La Femme Nikita,...
