Psycho-therapy was written and directed by Joshua Nelson (pictured right), who scripted and starred in a number of New York/New Jersey-lensed horror features including Pink Eye, Skinned Alive (a.k.a. Eat Your Heart Out) and Aunt Rose. This new project, he tells Fango, “is about a middle-aged psychotherapist who is abused by her husband and ignored by her patients. She is pushed to a very dark place where she feels that people who can’t change, or don’t want to change, have only one option—to be killed. She lures the challenged couples to an upstate getaway where she can finally fix them…her way.” The cast includes Rose Fiore, Karla Post, Alfred Cantilina, Michael Johnson, Ernest Romeo, Kerry Wittig and Michelle Michaels; Kevin Harrington served as the cinematographer and editor. Psycho-therapy is currently making the festival rounds, and will screen March 23 at the Jersey Gore Film Festival.

James Tucker is the director behind Aunt Rose starring Joshua Nelson, Elizabeth Cooke, Velocity Chyaldd, Raine Brown and Kevin T. Collins. Aunt Rose follows a family who is token hostage by a group of criminals, however what they didn't anticpate was having to deal with Aunt Rose. You see Aunt Rose may appear sickley, but she has some supernatural powers that she isn't afraid to deploy in order to save her family. We wanted to know more about James Tucker, his work relationship with Joshua Nelson, and of course the movie, Aunt Rose. Here is what he had to say.
So who is James Tucker and what are you all about?
I am a filmmaker who loves to work behind and in front of the camera. As fate would have it, my first speaking role as an actor was in a comedy, the original Hairspray film directed by John Waters.

Eat Your Heart Out). Now he’s getting back into the scene, making his directorial debut on a short called Welcome Home.

Fango just heard from Frank Garfi of Insane-o-Rama Productions, the New York-based outfit behind the ambitious horror dramas Strange Things Happen At Sundown and Za—Zombies Anonymous (a.k.a. Last Rites Of The Dead). He called in from the Poconos, where he’s busy lensing their latest production, Hellfire.
“It’s about four prostitutes who accidentally kidnap the Antichrist,” Garfi says of the movie, which he’s producing and Marc Fratto is directing from his own script. “It’s a little different from what we’ve done before. Our other movies have had multiple stories that come together as one in the end, while this is one story from beginning to end—a very tight, straightforward script. We’re very happy with it.”
Hellfire features “an incredible cast” led by J. Scott Green (from Strange Things and Za, plus James Tucker and Joshua Nelson’s Pink Eye and Eat...

Just a few days ago we got word about a new week-long run of horror and punk films called "8 Films To Kill For: Halo-ween Fest". Well, today we heard from Halo-8 Entertainment that due to legal pressure from After Dark Films, promoter of the Horrorfest 8 Films to Die For, they've renamed the event to "Halo-8: Films That Kill".
As Halo-8 president Matt Pizzolo explains in his blog Hollywood 2.0, "We weren't ripping them off, we were mocking them. I don't think trademark law is intended to prevent people from making fun of you. I tend to assume our audience is pretty smart, so it never occurred to me they might think we were actually part of that festival … I wouldn't want to cause confusion and accidentally tarnish our reputation." *insert cat fight noises here* Pizzolo goes on to say, "I suppose it wasn’t the cleverest name in the world,...

Halo-8 Entertainment has announced its acquisition of James Tucker’s Pink Eye this morning, according to Thr.
The story follows a masked lunatic who escapes a small-town insane asylum where the patients are put through bizarre drug experiments. He starts taking out his frustrations on the local town and its residents. A limited theatrical release is planned for the summer with a DVD due to hit shelves on September 30th.
Tucker’s the director of such films as Aunt Rose and Addiction. Halo-8 hasn’t really made a name for itself yet but has every intention of doing so by releasing movies like Your Mommy Kills Animals, the animal rights activist documentary. To be honest, Pink Eye doesn’t look like it fits in with what they’re trying to do, but maybe there’s more to it than crazed mental patients covered in gore.

Over the past few months I think I've heard about the indie horror pic Pink Eye a few times, it must have been for a good reason as Halo-8 Entertainment has picked up worldwide rights to the gory horror flick, featuring the writer, director and star of Lionsgate's Skinned Alive. James Tucker's feature, from scribe Joshua Nelson, follows a masked lunatic who escapes a small-town insane asylum where patients are subjected to bizarre drug experiments. Melissa Bacelar stars. Halo-8 plans a limited theatrical release this summer (now that's quick thinking), followed by a DVD bow September 30. The distributor, which has focused on cutting-edge features like the animal rights activist documentary "Your Mommy Kills Animals," will presents its new line of comics and graphic novels Thursday at the Wizard World Chicago convention.
