Our friend Alex Noyer, director of Sound of Violence and the upcoming Love is a Monster, has announced that he recently wrapped production on a new film, a drama called These Little Ones Perish. Noyer directed a screenplay written by Patrick Hamilton, adapted from their own stageplay by the same name. The gripping story begins after a young altar boy's tragic death by suicide in a local church. Father Frye (Colin Bates) discovers the body, only to face resistance from the church hierarchy, the local police and the surrounding community. His investigation is driven by the grief and distrust of the boy’s older sister, Siobhan (Ella Kennedy Davis), as well as the church’s apparent...

Exclusive: Colin Bates (Queer) and Ella Kennedy Davis (Your Friends and Neighbors) will topline These Little Ones Perish, an indie drama from director Alex Noyer (Sound of Violence), which has wrapped production in New York.

For Noyer, the circumstances surrounding the shoot were extraordinary, as he went to set just one week after losing his home in the devastating Palisades fire that destroyed over 6,000 structures. Hailing from Genco Pictures and You Know Films, the project is an adaptation of the play by Patrick Hamilton, who penned the script.

The story begins after a young altar boy’s tragic death by suicide in a local church. Father Frye (Bates) discovers the body, only to face resistance from the church hierarchy, the local police and the surrounding community. His investigation is driven by the grief and distrust of the boy’s older sister, Siobhan (Davis), as well as the church’s apparent urgency to bury the truth.

Actor Waymond Lee, known for his role in Workaholics, has passed away. He was 72 years old.

Per TMZ, Lee died on Wednesday, Dec. 18, with his passing confirmed by his sister, Norine Lee, and his wife, Diane. According to his loved ones, Lee's passing was attributed to complications from Als, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The actor was first diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease in October, though it wasn't until earlier this month when he was diagnosed with Als.

Lee's family also stated that the actor was able to return home for a little over a week after his updated diagnosis, but returned to the hospital when he had difficulties with breathing and swallowing. After spending a little under a week hospitalized, he died with his wife by his side. His family added that Lee will be remembered as a "soft-hearted" and "sentimental person" who always loved his work as an actor,...

There are few horror subgenres as shocking as body horror. In a medium filled with countless approaches to petrifying audiences, there aren't many films that are as immediately horrifying as those that use their runtime to showcase the many ways our physical bodies can be destroyed. There are many acclaimed films in this genre, from the Palme d'Or winner Titane to almost every movie from the Cronenberg dynasty. Hidden amongst these is a title that most certainly deserves more appreciation: Alex Noyer's 2021 film, Sound of Violence. Following an audio engineer with a perturbing case of synesthesia, the film pushes its concept further than any other body horror for the way it takes into account every facet of the viewing experience.

The ‘90s are back – also in Naima Mohamud’s upcoming “Halima,” produced by Finland’s It’s Alive Films, behind Oscar entry “Euthanizer,” and No-Office Films.

“It was a wild time. The hair! The clothes! I really wanted to go back to when boybands, Tamagotchis and popper pants were all the rage. And Aqua, the greatest ‘90s pop band in the world, [behind] ‘Barbie Girl’!” enthused the director, who used to be “obsessed” with its singer Lene Nystrøm.

“I tried cutting my own bangs and dyeing my hair with food coloring to rock her hairstyle. It didn’t work, of course, and the following months were agony. I got told off for wasting food coloring my mother needed to make Somali dessert halwa.”

In Mohamud’s partly autobiographical “down-to-earth dramedy about loneliness, childhood and conquering your fears” – currently in development and eyeing a 2025 shoot – it will be Halima’s turn to experience such “heartwarming and humorous” misadventures.

If Tom Hanks isn't involved, The Polar Express 2 might not succeed. His iconic character was a major draw for the original film. The sequel would likely build on the source material and original film but would suffer without Hanks as the Conductor. The competition for animated movies is tougher now, so Hanks' involvement is crucial to attract modern audiences.

If Tom Hanks does not star or play a major role in the newly announced The Polar Express sequel, it might be best to leave the film in development. Producer Gary Goetzman revealed that The Polar Express 2 is currently in development but did not provide much of an update outside of stating that the long-awaited project is in the works. Goetzman is a longtime collaborator with Hanks who is also an executive producer of the upcoming Masters of the Air Apple series alongside Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

Horror fans have been blessed with a bold new generation of Scream Queens, from “Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega to Mia Goth of “X” and “Pearl,” to “Yellowjackets” stars Jasmin Savoy Brown and Sophie Thatcher, not to mention the women of “Fear Street,” Stranger Things” and Mike Flanagan’s deliciously spooky “Haunting of…” Netflix series.

Here’s some of our favorite final girls — and vicious villains — from recent horror films and TV series.

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster is not the first version of Frankenstein set in the Black community. There was Black Frankenstein, better known as Blackenstein, back in 1973 and more recently FrankenThug. The difference is while the previous two versions were exploitation films, writer/director Bomani J. Story set out to make a more serious film, one that like Mary Shelly’s novel, is out to do more than just deliver scares.

Vicaria has not had an easy life. At eight she saw her mother shot and killed. In the wake of that, Chris started working for local gang boss Kango and ended up dead. Now she watches her father Donald struggle to support her despite the growing drug habit he’s developed trying to cope with their deaths.

Though she's been on the radar of HBO viewers since her recurring role on "The Leftovers" in the mid-2010s, Jasmin Savoy Brown has developed something of a scream queen reputation in the 2020s. That's not just because she's one of the newly christened "Core Four" in the "Scream" requel series, either. Brown starred in another slasher film, "Sound of Violence," in 2021, and since last year, she's been among the core of a different four on Showtime's "Yellowjackets," where her cannibalistic character grows up to be a politician who sacrifices the family dog on an altar in her basement.

If that's not horror, it's at least horror-adjacent. For Brown, it's all in a day's acting work -- but believe it or not, she didn't always have designs on the horror genre, despite her résumé leading up to this year's...

Breaking Bad's Rj Mitte is under attack from something evil in the first The Unseen trailer.

Based on Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels, Netflix’s fantasy series Shadow and Bone is set in a world where a shadowy vale full of monsters known as The Fold divides the land. The country of Ravka suffers the most from this division. Not only is the country split in half by The Fold, but other countries like Fjerda and Shu-Han have used The Fold as an excuse to declare war on Ravka. Because of threats from The Fold and outside it, East and West Ravka put a lot of resources into their military – the First Army made up of humans and the Second Army made up of matter manipulators known as Grisha.

Jasmin Savoy Brown in Sound Of Violence

The story of a young musician with a history of hearing loss who is determined to finish her masterpiece before losing her hearing again, Alex Noyer’s The Sound Of Violence has been making a big splash in the horror film world. It’s currently available to watch on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital, and it recently screened at Frightfest. I met up with Alex just as he was preparing for the festival so we could discuss the story behind it.

“It's a complicated story because it traces all the way back to the last feature documentary I produced,” he says. “Because, you know, before being a director, I've been a producer for now 17 years, but that was mostly in documentaries. And, and I produced a documentary called 808, which was retracing the story of the legendary drum machine the Tr-808 from Roland. And we had great people involved – we.

As a young child Alexis (Kamia Benge) lost her hearing in an accident. At age ten she regained it while bashing her murderous father’s head in with a meat tenderizer. Not only did her hearing come back, she now has a euphoric response to some sound. A sinister form of Synesthesia that is triggered by the sound of violence and pain.

Now grown up Alexis (Jasmin Savoy Brown; The Leftovers) teaches music to college students. She’s also a musician, converting sounds such as a session between a Dominatrix and her client into electronic music. Unfortunately not only are these sounds not triggering a reaction, she’s beginning to lose her hearing again. And it will take more death to bring it back again.

Simon Helberg was so invested in landing the role of The Conductor in Leos Carax’s musical movie “Annette,” he became a French citizen.

The actor, perhaps best known for his 12-season run on CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory,” steals scenes opposite Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard in the film, arriving in theaters on Aug. 6 before hitting Amazon Prime Aug. 20. With a screenplay by Carax and Ron and Russell Mael of Sparks (who also wrote the music and lyrics), the film is largely a two-hander about a famous couple and their talented daughter — the title character.

It wasn’t Helberg’s TV stardom or roles in films like “Florence Foster Jenkins” that enticed Carax. “I had never seen Simon’s work in anything,” reveals the director. “He turned out to be very special. It’s difficult to find an actor who can really play the piano, sing and whom I’d want to film.

Arrow Video FrightFest, the UK’s biggest horror and fantasy film festival, is back at the Cineworld Leicester Square from Thursday August 26th – Monday 30th August 2021 for five days of the very best of global genre cinema.

The internationally renowned event leads the way in attesting to the versatility of the genre and, despite the interruptions caused by the pandemic, this year is no exception as the twenty-five films to be presented in the main screens are revealed. They include four world premieres and eight International / European premieres.

Global events over the past eighteen months have not only altered most people’s lives but have had a profoundly influential effect on a lot of genre filmmakers and both the opening and closing films this year reflect that.

It’s easy to make fun of movie marketing campaigns which tout the “visionary”, “genius” and even “brilliantly twisted” minds of the artists behind them. But in the case of Cannes opener Annette, that wouldn’t be too far from the truth. That’s as much because director Leos Carax and writer-musicians Sparks are visionaries as it is because Annette is so clearly the product of their minds alone.

Yet though the French indie darling and eccentric pop gods have been described as a “match made in heaven”, Annette is interesting in large part because they’re not. It’s in the inherent tension between Carax’s earnest melodrama and the Mael brothers’ artful self-awareness that something springs out.

Annette stars Adam Driver as Henry McHenry, a shock jock comedian whose influence on his devoted audience is waning. Marion Cotillard stars as soprano extraordinaire Ann Defrasnoux, with Simon Helberg supporting as The Conductor,...

How fitting is it that Alex Noyer’s splatter-deafness movie, “Sound of Violence,” comes to us just a week after the release of “Spiral,” the latest chapter in the big bloody book of “Saw?” The two are kindred spirits, or more like first cousins, in improbable grisly violence, where the enterprising slasher ceremoniously slays their victims with immoderately complicated Rube Goldberg machines.

Experimental musician, DJ and teacher’s assistant Alexis (Jasmin Savoy Brown) is working on a seriously killer track. But the high she is chasing, in writer-director Alex Noyer’s uneven but often inventively grisly feature debut, is not that of pop stardom or peer admiration. Instead Alexis, due a condition whereby she experiences the sounds of human pain as a glorious starburst of color and pleasure, is attempting to knit her disorder into a sonic artpiece, no matter the rising bodycount of her “instrumentation.”

With its themes of creative obsession and trauma recycled as psychopathy, not to mention Alexis’ synesthesia giving license for lurid, semi-abstract, technicolor visual sequences, “Sound of Violence” boasts perhaps the greatest giallo premise that Dario Argento never dreamed up. It’s just a shame that Noyer decides that it isn’t enough. The spectacularly gruesome and grotesquely elaborate murder scenes do ample justice to even the...
