Jason and Shawn review The Fields and The Selling

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.

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...

Horror hides in The Fields with this creepy trailer

We've been pumping The Month from Hell for all its worth in anticipation of our return to the air this October. And one of the first film's we're reviewing is The Fields care of Six Degrees of Hell scribe Harrison Smith. The Fields tells the story of a young boy and his family who are terrorized by an unseen presence in a nearby corn field. Smith maintains this a true story, which ups the creep factor all the way. Cloris Leachman and veteran hottie Tara Reid star in the film, which has been making its theatrical and VOD rounds for some time. It lands on DVD and Blu-Ray Aug. 27. We're going to give our thoughts on The Fields, along with a review of Bait 3D, on our Season Four opener. Until then, check out the trailer below.
