Axeman engages in Mortal Kombat with Joston Theney

Waaaayyyyy back in 2014, before From The Basement took to the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops airwaves, Jason and Shawn reviewed a little slasher movie called Axeman, AKA Axeman at Cutter's Creek, and interviewed its writer, director and star, Joston Theney. Surprise, Axeman has become a cult classic, and spawned a sequel. However, Joston was never happy with the final cut of his film. Now it's 2021, and he's recut Axeman to the vision he always had in mind. Call it The Theney Cut, and The Dynamic Due put Axeman Redux on the chopping block tonight at 6:05! The Basement Boys also interview Joston about the how and why of his new edit, and discuss the fact he's been able to retain ownership of his films, a rarity in Hollywood. How was he able to do that? Stick with us! And stick around for Mortal Kombat! Or, more accurately, Jason and Shawn's review of the new video-game adaptation. Is it greater than, or less than, the 1995 version? You'll have to tune in tonigh...

Review: Dead by Dawn (2020)

OK, we're big fans of Jamie Bernadette here in The Basement. That's something we haven't tried to hide. Which is why it pains me to say her latest effort, Dead by Dawn, just isn't that good. The premise holds promise, as a man heads to his remote cabin wanting to commit suicide. His plans are put on hold, though, when he's forced to protect a kidnapped woman from a trio of sexual deviants and their sadistic games. What unfolds is one part Last House on the Left, and another part I Spit on Your Grave, less the impact of those earlier films. For the most part, Dead by Dawn lacks any real thrills to hold your attention until the final 10 minutes. Then all hell breaks loose, and the film actually gains some momentum. This means it's up to the cast to carry the movie. Sadly, most of them don't. Jamie is the one who truly shines. She's usually the scream queen/hero, but here she seems to be having the time of her life playing one of the bad guys. Her s...

New trailer, poster for Jamie Bernadette thriller Dead by Dawn

Last week we called her the busiest woman in Hollywood. This week Jamie Bernadette has proved us right with a trailer and poster for yet another movie she's starring in, and this time she's one of the bad guys! Dead by Dawn is about a suicidal man in a remote cabin who must protect a kidnapped woman from three killers and their sadistic games. Sounds like our pint of ale, but how does it look? Check it: Yup, looks like our pint of ale too. Dead by Dawn also stars Kelcey Watson and Drew Lindsey. Sean Cain directs from a script by Wes Laurie, and you'll see it on DVD and Digital April 7. And we'll be watching. Source Rue Morgue

Jamie Bernadette comes to Earth in sci-fi flick Colonials

When one of your favourites puts a call out asking if anyone is interested in sharing the teaser for her new movie, you answer. Which is why we're proud to present the teaser for Jamie Bernadette's upcoming sci-fi flick Colonials. She's one of the leads in directors Joe Bland and Andrew Balek's film. What's it about? A space colonist en route to Mars crash lands on Earth to save a resistance from an advanced Moon enforcer, and the galaxy from extinction. Now the teaser: Looks pretty slick! And with Jamie in it, we're guaranteed a watch. No word yet on a release date, but we're gonna keep you posted as we learn more. Source: Jamie Bernadette

New poster surfaces for Jamie Bernadette horror flick Ash and Bone

We in The Basement have become pretty big Jamie Bernadette fans of late. She's a talented actor, and can do anything from horror to drama. We respect that! Her latest film is a horror movie written by Bret Miller and directed by Harley Wallen. Currently in post production and without a release date, we do have a new poster for your eye holes, and are compelled to share it with you now: The plot: a troubled teenager is taken to the peace and quiet of the country by her father and step mother in an effort to calm down her wild streak. But after she crosses the infamous McKinley family, it becomes clear that danger lies hidden in the weeds, ready to strike at any moment. Sounds promising, and with Jamie on board, we're on board. We'll keep you posted on Ash and Bone as it nears the big screen. Source: Marketing Macabre

Happy New Year... From The Basement!

2019 is almost a memory, and it was a good year for our show. This is the year Shawn and I realized our long-term goal of taking things prime time, which we did in early November on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops, and there was much rejoicing. It was also a year where we interviewed some truly awesome people, including Jamie Bernadette, Darren Lynn Bousman, Trista Robinson, Jennifer N. Linch and Eric Red. We reviewed a lot of good movies, a few great ones, and a handful of duds. Such is the business. Our listenership continues to grow, and we couldn't be more thankful for that. We've been doing this a long time. When our podcast drops Saturday morning, it'll mark our 10th anniversary. That's a lifetime in Internet years, and we couldn't have done it without the support of each and every one of you. Big thanks to those we've met along the way, and remain friends and sometime collaborators to this day. We're talking about YOU John Fallon, Jon Cros...

Jamie Bernadette enters The Furnace

Basement guest Jamie Bernadette has to be one of the busiest, hardest-working people in Hollywood. I've lost count of how many movies she has out this year. At least a couple after The 6th Friend, which we reviewed right here . Interviewing the actor/producer/writer about that flick was certainly a highlight of the year. Jamie is known for genre projects, but her next film is decidedly different; a drama from Oscar-nominated director Darrell Roodt called The Furnace. Whether you're a believer or not, we've all hit rock bottom and been ready to give up on life. Hell, I was there less than a year ago. The Furnace is about that, and how we've got to claw our way back up and keep fighting, when we have no fight left in us. When a car accident strips a runner of her husband's life and the use of a lung, only one thing can restore her faith: running... in one of the most dangerous races in the world. Check out the trailer: The Furnace won Best Feature Film a...

The Jamie Bernadette interview, The Kid Who Would Be King, and Serenity

The Basement Boys are back with another extended cut podcast sure to pleasure your ear holes as they interview actor and scream queen Jamie Bernadette! Sure, you might have heard three minutes of the conversation earlier today on Jason and Shawn's Radio NL 610 AM Morning Show segment, but you get to hear the whole thing right here, right now.

The Kid Who Would be King finds Serenity

No blockbuster releases this weekend, but there's still a pair of movies featuring high-profile casts and high concepts duking it out for your hard-earned movie dollar. And Jason, Shawn and Howie are here to tell you all about it on the Radio NL 610 AM Morning Show. That way your entertainment choices are a little easier to make. They also have a feature interview with scream queen Jamie Bernadette about her latest project, The 6th Friend. Stick with us!

The 6th Friend, Replicas, The Upside and A Dog's Way Home

Last weekend there was nothing, but this weekend there's three big releases and one film in limited release that every horror fan needs to check out. And Jason and Shawn are here to tell you all about 'em! For starters, scream queen Jamie Bernadette stars, co-wrote and produced the slasher movie The 6th Friend, and it's been granted a limited theatrical run today. How cool is that? Given the Basement Boys have seen it, and will put the flick on the chopping block, it could be very cool indeed. What'd they think? Stick with us!

Review: The 6th Friend

I've seen a lot of slasher movies in my time, and understand the formula pretty well. Halloween defined the genre, Friday the 13th took it to new levels, and the Scream franchise added a wink and a nudge. I've seen them all, so it's tough to get me hooked on one. The latest entry in the slasher cannon, Jamie Bernadette's The 6th Friend, attempts to blend elements from all these legendary titles into something new and fresh, and for the most part, this movie succeeds.

The 6th Friend promises a fun horror ride

Sometimes the formula works, sometimes it doesn't. The makers of The Asylum's latest horror offering, The 6th Friend, are banking on a win with their ode to the kids-go-into-the-woods-kids-get-dead slasher genre. Produced, written and starring scream queen Jamie Bernadette, The 6th Friend has all the makings of a classic slasher movie. Kids go into the woods? Check. Masked killer shows up? Check. People start to die? Check.
