"Been a long time since I've taught all of you... Tonight's your final lesson." Samuel Goldwyn has debuted an official trailer for an indie horror thriller called Triggered, not to be confused with the other horror film titled Triggered from just last year (can't they choose a different name?!). This film involves a crazy Saw-meets-Hunger-Games-esque concept - nine friends, all harboring a dark secret, wake up in the woods after a night of partying to discover they all have suicide bombs strapped to their chests, with different times on their countdown clocks. They decide to work out how to disarm the bombs or find help - until they discover they can "take" someone else's time by killing them. Uh oh. The film stars Sean Cameron Michael, Liesl Ahlers, Reine Swart, Suraya Santos, Craig Urbani, and Steven John Ward. This is a wicked cool concept -...

Ahead of the UK premiere of Triggered, his cat-and-mouse slasher, Alastair Orr talks about being inspired by old console games and why he loves working in South Africa.
We last saw you at FrightFest with From A House On Willlow Street, how’s life been treating you since that time?
It’s been great. I got married, had a kid, got into massive amounts of debt with Bitcoin – I’ve made a lot of great life decisions since FrightFest 2016.
How did David D. Jones’ Triggered script end up in your capable hands?
I was working on a bigger film with David that we couldn’t raise the money for. So he pitched something way cheaper that we could do. It’s eleven characters in the woods, so it seemed super easy on the page, but was quite a nightmare to shoot.
Was the script really inspired by retro video games from the 1990s?...

Donald Trump Jr.’s new book, Triggered, is a Number One New York Times bestseller, thanks in no small part to the Republican National Committee, which spent $94,800 buying copies of the book in its first week of publication, according to the New York Times.
A dagger printed next to the book’s listing in the Times’ top spot was the first clue that Trump Jr.’s sales numbers may have been inflated. According to the Times, the dagger is used when bulk sales have boosted a book’s numbers.

President Donald Trump has often been accused of not being all that interested in reading. But today’s tweetstorm puts the lie to that notion, as there are two book reviews of new titles.
Rich Lowry’s The Case For Nationalism and Donald Trump Jr.’s Triggered were both reviewed by the Commander-in-Tweet. Lowry has “a very important book,” while Don Jr.’s work “is really good.” For his son, the President added, “He, along with many of us, was very unfairly treated. But we all fight back, and we always win!”
The President spent the rest of his morning retweeting a few TV excerpts that support him, including a long string from Fox’s Stuart Varney.
We’ll update as more communications roll in. The tweetstorm so far:
95% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you! #Maga #KAG2020

Donald Trump Jr. covered a series of wide-ranging topics Tuesday when he stopped by “CBS This Morning” as part of his media blitz to promote his book, “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us.”
In an interview full of constant interruptions, the president’s son was asked about the impeachment inquiry (he says the process is going to vindicate his father), his relationship with his father, Hunter Biden and the political divide in the nation.
“CBS” co-anchor Tony Dokoupil suggested that the title of his book, “Triggered,” is an example of how his family isn’t doing any favors to improve the temperature of the country. At one point, Dokoupil challenged Trump Jr. to “say something nice” on Twitter today.
“Do you agree that the temperature is too high in this country? That we’re too divided?” Dokoupil asked. “And if so, what are you doing to heal that divide?...

Blessed are the Children is new thriller from co-writer and director Chris Moore, which has been selected to play at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival on Friday 19th January. I got chance to ask Chris a few questions about his inspirations for making the film, his influences and what makes Blessed are the Children stand out in the horror genre.
What can we expect from the film?
I think you can expect a slasher film that’s fun, has something to say, and characters you actually care about. It’s one of the most important things in a horror film, but a lot of people seem fine with just throwing in a gaggle of busty 20-somethings and calling it a day. I want you to actually feel something when these people are terrorized. I never want you rooting for the killers. I usually come up with a story or concept first...
