As technology advances, allowing newer ways to tell stories, and pass information on, certain forms of entertainment fade away into the mists of the past and nostalgia.  I remember being a kid, and staying up later under my blankets with my radio, tuning into " The Inner Sanctum ", or finding old " Twilight Zone " episodes on VHS tape. Fortunately, while such shows may go out of style, and get relegated to the bargain bin of your local Wal-Mart, the advance of technology also provides new ways to preserve them in the hopes of introducing new audiences to them... One such example is the DVD box-set I found featuring episodes of the show, " One Step Beyond ."  It was a show that focused on presenting re-enactments of recorded paranormal events.  The episodes varied from recounting premonitions had prior to Lincoln's assassination, to pyrokinesis, to World War One soldiers deserting after seeing a heavenly vision, to a clown stalking a woman's kille...

The Selling Jason: Finally, a horror comedy that's actually funny. Kudos to screenwriter/star Gabriel Diani for that. He wrote some funny shit here AND he performed the majority of it to a T. Kudos also to co-stars Jonathan Klein, Janet Varney, Etta Devine and company too. It's the acting and interactions that make this movie. Did I mention Barry (Some Guy Who Kills People) Bostwick is in this? Well he is. And his small part owns! Not all the humour comes off. The big set pieces – like the sales montage shown in the trailer – aren't that funny. It's the dialogue – “Does that feel like dream boob to you?” – that make the movie This is a lighthearted flick that hits more than it misses. And it's one more people need to see. It's a fun way to kill 90 minutes. Good! And yes, Varney is one hot real estate agent. Shawn: Originally, I thought this movie would be too goofy to be in our Month of Hell reviews. But … it was not. Funny? Hell yes! And sti...

Obscurity, thy name is The Basement. But that's what The Basement is all about -- finding and reviewing those off-the-grid B-movies and letting you know which ones to watch and what to avoid. Tonight's double bill features a couple of flicks most people haven't heard of or seen. Well, one for sure. The other, maybe. As if selling a house isn't hard enough, try selling one that's haunted. That's the premise behind the horror-comedy The Selling, which is slowly unspooling on VOD and the festival circuit. Haunted house movies are ripe for spoofing. And who doesn't mind making fun of a realtor or two? Does this high-concept comedy hit or miss? Stick with us! Then it's The Fields, a psychological thriller about adolescence from 6 Degree of Hell scribe Harrison Smith. Harrison talked this flick up during last week's feature interview with him, and now it's Jason and Shawn's turn to weigh in with the executioner's axe. Does this true...
