An official trailer and poster have released this week for Trespassers. Shot in Malibu, California, the film involves two couples on vacation. They enjoy a bit of an escape from their regular lives, but find themselves caught-up in a home invasion. IFC Midnight will release this title, in July. The initial launch will take place in Los Angeles and New York, along with a simultaneous Digital release. As well, Trespassers stars: Fairuza Balk (Almost Famous), Angela Trimbur (Trash Fire), Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars), Jonathan Howard and Zach Avery. The film was directed by Orson Oblowitz (The Queen of Hollywood Blvd) and written by Corey Deshon. The full length trailers is below and the ominous poster can be found here. The trailer and other promotional materials show several masked intruders. Who are they and what do they want? The houseguests have no idea and Trespassers offers a bit of mystery this July 12th.

"Sometimes you just can't stop what's coming..." IFC Midnight has released an official trailer for an indie horror film titled Trespassers, the latest from filmmaker Orson Oblowitz (The Queen of Hollywood Blvd). The home invasion horror premiered at FrightFest London last year, and also played in Germany's Fantasy Filmfest. Two couples rent a modern luxury desert home for the weekend hoping to sort out their messed-up lives. Just as they are about to settle in, a woman shows up at their door. And that's when the murderous trouble really starts. Because without knowing it, these four friends have just landed slap-bang in the wrong violent place at precisely the wrong bloody time. Starring Angela Trimbur, Zach Avery, Janel Parrish, Jonathan Howard, Fairuza Balk, Carlo Rota, Sebastian Sozzi, and Joey Abril. This seems so much like a been-there, done-that horror rehash pulling from You're Next and everything else we've already seen.

Craig Zahler, Vince Vaughn and their uber-rugged crime-opus Dragged Across Concrete.

You’ve done every film related job from producer and actor to cinematographer and editor. Was directing always the goal?

Poverty dictates…I would just take any position I could and figure it out from there, especially when I made The Queen Of Hollywood Blvd. where I just didn’t have the budget and had to take on as many positions as I could. Directing was always the ultimate goal though. Funny enough, the genesis of Hell came from a job I had done years before when I was camera operating on a feature film The Ganzfeld Experiment. It was a crazy production, and my dad was the director. The line producer of Ganzfeld was Julio Hallivis. We became friends and stayed in touch. Cut to five years later, I show Julio my first film The Queen of Hollywood Blvd. and he says “Hey man, I got a script I think you will dig.

One of American cinema’s most unusual delights celebrated its 20th birthday in Boston, Massachusetts last week. The Boston Underground Film Festival has a simple name and premise, but its breadth of content is far from standard. Its fearless leaders, Nicole McControversy and Kevin Monahan, consistently curate beguiling, unexpected work from around the world. With films from Turkey, Mexico, the UK, South Korea and more, the festival has outdone itself, but beyond internationality, the programming is inclusive as well.

This year's festival opened with My Name is Myeisha, a searing experimental drama recounting a true story of police brutality. Good Manners closed out the festival, bringing a tense, beautifully shot twist on several genres from Brazil. Its quiet characterizations and slow-building oddities create an almost lulling pace, so the moments of horror arise suddenly with genuine effect. The matte paintings and direct framing harken back to 1950s science fiction, but...
