Indie horror flick, 'Peelers', gets Canadian premiere this month!

Adding to the relatively obscure list of movies in the stripper horror sub-genre is Sevé Schelenz's Peelers.  After having it's world premiere at the Palm Beach International Film Festival in April, the film is slated to have it's Canadian premier at the Shock Stock Film Festival in Ontario this month.  Judging by the trailer (which you can check out below), it looks like Peelers is going to be a bloody, campy, good time.


From The Press Release:

Independent Horror Feature Film PEELERS to have CANADIAN PREMIERE at Shock Stock Film Festival, London, Ontario (May 27th – 29th).

 The makers of the Independent Cult Horror Feature SKEW (2011) step it up a bloody notch as they continue their amazing festival run with follow-up horror flick PEELERS.

  PEELERS - What starts out as the last hurrah on the closing night of an infamous small-town strip club, quickly turns into a night of bloodshed when a crew of coal miners shows up and with them a deadly contaminant.  Former baseball player and current club owner, Blue Jean Douglas has decided to hand over her bar to a new owner and leave town for good. But Blue Jean’s plans are thwarted when she discovers the magnitude of the epidemic that has been unleashed. With victims piling up, Blue Jean must step up to the plate to protect her family, her friends, and her bar before it's too late and she loses everything she holds dear.
  
PEELERS destroys the cliché stripper horror sub-genre by giving us a story packed with exciting twists, baseball, strippers of unusual talents and a strong female lead.  What’s being described as “Rodriguez meets Tarantino” and “Not just a great indie film, but destined to be one of the funnest films of 2016”, has Director/Producer Sevé Schelenz pretty stoked about giving genre fans a whole new ball game of horror.

The Phoenix Incident (2016)

Running Time: 1hr 22min
Release Date: April 8, 2016
Review by: Stacey



Sometimes I'm a glutton for punishment- especially when it's a movie about aliens or if it's shot found footage/mockumentary-style.  The Phoenix Incident combined the two and we all have our guilty pleasures so I gave it a watch and I'm almost 90% sure the film gave me zero real feelings.  Is that even possible?

13 Cameras (2016)

Running Time: 1hr 27min
Release Date: April 15, 2016
Review by: Stacey



I swear, I watch so many damn creepy movies that they have given me more phobias than I already had before.  One of them being the idea that someone could place hidden cameras in my home and spy on me (and ultimately murder me, because that's what always happens in these damn movies).  As you might remember, Hangman revolved around an intruder who set up hidden cameras in a family's home and watched their every move.  While terrible, the hidden camera theme fucked me up.  Well, I must be a glutton for punishment because 13 Cameras (original title Slumlord) is the same goddamn thing but with an antagonist who is twenty shades creepier.

On this episode, we talk about 2014's "Spirit In The Woods".  You've probably never heard of it, and that's a good thing.  We don't mince words- this movie blows.  Watch us talk about how much.

The Invitation (2016)

Running Time: 1hr 40min
Release Date: April 8, 2016
Review by: Stacey



I'm going to get this out of the way right now, this is a movie everyone needs to go and see ASAP.  I mean, if you want to.  I'm not going to tell you that you'd be missing out on a movie that's sure to be on a lot of folks' "favorites of 2016" list, but y'know...
I had been looking forward to Karyn Kusama's (Girlfight, Jennifer's Body) thriller The Invitation for several months now, and while on the outside it looks like your typical "dinner party from Hell" movie- what you end up getting is so much more than that.

Hush (2016)

Running Time: 1hr 21min
Release Date: April 8, 2016
Review by: Stacey



After director Mike Flanagan proved with his 2011 film, Absentia, that he could make an effective horror film with a small budget and a simple concept, I didn't have any reservations about his latest effort, the home-invasion thriller Hush.  Where his other films rest more on the supernatural angle, Hush gives us a moderate-paced flick that is actually pretty damn frightening.
