M.O.M. (MOTHERS OF MONSTERS) Unveils True to Life Nightmare March 13th

M.O.M. (Mothers of Monsters) Takes Unflinching Look  at the Making of Murderers Bailey Edwards Makes Mesmerizing Debut in Found Footage Thriller Opens at the Arena Cinelounge in Los Angeles March 13th Nationwide Digital HD Rollout to Follow

Los Angeles, CA - Indie Rights has announced the theatrical world premiere and Digital HD rollout of Tucia Lyman's hard-hitting M.O.M. (Mothers of Monsters).  Melinda Page Hamilton (Netflix's "Messiah", "How to Get Away with Murder") headlines as a troubled single mother who fears that her teenage son, played by Bailey Edwards in a star-making debut, is a duplicitous psychopath.  Desperate to know if her son is capable of murder, she begins recording him at home on a network of spy cameras.  Of the film's genesis and release, Lyman said, "I've always been intrigued by real-life horror films that use the dysfunctions of society as a vessel to explore the truth. M.O.M. is a work of narrative fiction, but much of the behavior, scenarios, and dialogue were borrowed from the journals and publications of real-life school shooters and their parents. It is a very confronting film, much like the subject matter itself, and I hope it will contribute to the national debate surrounding mental health stigma and gun violence in America." M.O.M. (Mothers of Monsters) will open in Los Angeles for a weeklong run at the Arena Cinelounge on Friday the 13th of March, before the film premieres on Cable and Digital VOD. Los Angeles March 13 Release: Arena Cinelounge Sunset 6464 Sunset Blvd Lobby Level Los Angeles, CA 90028. A distraught mother (Hamilton) suspects her teenage son (Edwards) is plotting a school shooting, but when he slips through the cracks of the system, she is forced to take matters into her own hands. After installing an elaborate spy camera system in their home, Abbey captures a series of disturbing videos that confirm her worst fears.  Torn between a mother's unconditional love and a mother's acute intuition, Abbey caters her videos to all the other "mothers of monsters" online. Abbey's plan backfires when Jacob uses a dark family secret against her, launching both mother and son on a terrifying, and ultimately deadly, game of cat and mouse.   M.O.M.

Gravitas Ventures will release Director/Editor Pi Ware's ("Solitude," “The Act”) powerful new documentary “Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons,” takes a deep dive approach into the heated controversy surrounding Morgellons disease, a skin condition that most of the medical industry considers delusional. This investigative independent film has been acquired by Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios company, and will make its global VOD/Digital & DVD release across platforms everywhere on March 31st, 2020.

“Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons,”explores the controversy surrounding Morgellons--a disease where fibers grow from sufferers' skin, but a disease that the medical industry considers "all in the patient's head".  The film brings to light the heated debate as to who is delusional—the patients who believe or the doctors who deny-- and whether medical treatment for Morgellons should be antibiotics or anti-psychotics. Joining director/editor Pi Ware on this film are editor Tom Putnam (“Burn,” “Marwencol”); cinematographers Sam Price-Waldman(“There Is No Place for You Here,” “Wolf Mountain”), and PJ Raval (“Call Her Ganda,” “Trouble the Water”); composer Andrew Gross (“Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny,” “Bring It On: Fight To The Finish”); producers Levon Mergian (“Searching,” “Avarice”), Patrick Belton  (“True Blood,” “Some Guy Who Kills People”), Gary Leva (“Fog City Mavericks,” “A Legacy of Filmmakers: The Early Years of American Zeotrope”), Laura Stoddard (“Before the Fire,” “Beyond the Bolex”) & Ware; and executive producers Denise James and Jerry James.

Richard Stanley's Color Out Of Space Theatrical Review

Richard Stanley's Color Out Of Space is one of the best adaptations of an HP Lovecraft story made for both big and small screen I have ever seen. I am a fan of his first film Hardware and though I am not in possession of all the facts regarding his firing from the 1996 adaptation of The Island of Dr. Moreau, he appears to discuss his story of what happened in the documentary Lost Souls: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau. I am so happy Stanley is back with Color Out Of Space because I truly feel he deserves a chance to bring his unique talent and vision to cinemas once again. In this version Nicholas Cage and his family have moved into the farm his father owned in an attempt to lead a richer and healthier life. His wife (Joely Richardson) is recovering from breast cancer and has been somewhat distant from her husband since she had the mastectomy and presumably is in remission. His daughter practices incantations from a store bought copy of the Necronomicon in soft cover in the hopes that she can be sure her mother is cured and lastly she wants to leave the farm for a new life. This is a very important part of the esoteric puzzle because beginning with the daughter, many of the characters throughout the film appear to ask for things as if calling to a higher power and unfortunately, the power that arrives within a meteorite in a sense grants their wishes, but not in the way they expected.

The alien or entity is so vastly different from anything humans know of the universe that it can only be perceived as a color and personally I think this was a higher dimensional thing above even the fourth dimension as it's presence penetrates and mutates everything it touches seen and unseen including the perception of time and even transcends death for characters in the film. The movie will definitely remind genre film fans of Annihilation because it is very clear to me that both the Author who wrote the novel and the filmmaker that adapted it were probably inspired by Lovecraft's story Colour Out Of Space. There are just too many similarities. Esoteric elements in the film reflect gnostic philosophy or at least it could be viewed as such and some may believe it so. It also can be viewed as an alien consciousness trying to terraform the world and once again like Annihilation, there are strong suggestions that the entity is still present in plain sight and perhaps the apocalypse is just beginning and it takes is someone or something to take a drink of water .

The special effects are fantastic because they are mostly practical and some are reminiscent of John Carpenter's The Thing. In fact I would state that if the 2011 prequel had stuck to the effects work ADI did for that film as was done for Richard Stanley's Color Out Of Space, the 2011 The Thing prequel would have been a far more appreciated motion picture when it had it's theatrical run. As it is the balance between practical and CGI in the motion picture is practically perfect. Please note that I am unaware who did the effects for Color Out Of Space and am only likening it to the effects ADI did for the 2011 The Thing prequel because I believe had the studio not been insistent on CGI, that film would have been better.

Richard Stanley's feature film adaptation of HP Lovecraft's Color Out Of Space has had a limited theatrical run and will be debuting on 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Disc on Tuesday February 25, 2020 at retailers on and offline and will also be available to rent and buy on digital, I already have it preordered.

Doctor Sleep: Director's Cut is the one to watch!

The feature film adaptation of Stephen King's Doctor Sleep was one of my favorite films of 2019, but after viewing the three hour Director's Cut I think the additional thirty minutes makes a good movie into a great movie. It is three hours, but the additional scenes really add a lot and flesh out the story more. Stephen King's Doctor Sleep: Director's Cut is available now on Blue-ray at retailers on and offline and Digital Copy for sale or rent online.
