How often do we see a sequel to a spinoff that is actually a lot of fun? What if you then also made it a tragic love story that involves zombies? That sounds like a Roger Corman or Troma movie but in actuality it’s Return of the Living Dead III (watch it Here) and its from channel favorite Brian Yuzna. Return of the Living Dead is a stone cold classic and is one that I sometimes prefer watching over any of the original Romero trilogy due to how different it is and how it sets up its own rules. Part 2 I have great memories of seeing on TV at my Nana’s house in Santa Ana, California on an old tube TV. It skates that Evil Dead II line of leaning much further into the comedy realm than the first, which is pretty funny in its own way and right.

The very first Make Believe Seattle festival took place last week and included a lot of stellar features. One that particularly caught my eye was Pursued. It is the new film from Jeffrey Obrow, known for 80s classics The Dorm that Dripped Blood and The Kindred. He’s back with a new thriller focusing on friends and strangers in the digital age.
When Lark (Madison Lawlor) learns that her mother (Molly Ringwald) is dating a new guy, she has mixed emotions. She’s happy that her mom is finally moving on after her father’s death two years before, but the whole idea naturally feels a bit strange. This is only compounded by the fact that she only learns about the relationship when Carol announces that she will be going away for the weekend with her new suitor. Lark cautions her mom, asking if she really knows this guy well...

Stars: Anthony Head, Les Dennis, April Pearson, Nathan Clarke | Written and Directed by Adam Oldroyd
I’m happy to admit I wanted to watch Sideshow based entirely because it starred Anthony Head and Les Dennis. I’m a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, so I’ll watch pretty much anything with any of that show’s leads and I just thought it was such an odd pairing with Les Dennis that I had to see it. So here we are.
The poster and synopsis for Sideshow seem to lead towards this being promoted as a much more serious affair than it actually is. Which is slightly odd because although there’s a bit of darkness to the humour it would still benefit from people knowing there are plenty of laughs.
We see two criminals break into a (locally) famous psychic’s (Dennis) house looking for something more than just money.

April Pearson (Skins UK) gives a beautifully haunting performance in this psychological thriller The Kindred. In Select Theaters and On Demand January 7, 2022
Here’s the trailer:
In The Kindred, April Pearson plays the role of a young mother who sets out to investigate the mysteries that lead to her father’s suicide. On this journey, Pearson’s character (Helen) is haunted by spirits and unearths an unsolved mystery from 30 years ago and discovers a dark family history that could prove deadly for her child.
