You know the saying: "It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt." It's something parents used to tell us when we were kids and roughhoused too hard, but in the context of the upcoming horror thriller "All Fun and Games," the adage sounds more like a promise than a warning. The film follows a group of teens whose night of fun turns very high stakes when a demon gets involved, forcing them to play life-or-death versions of the kids' games that many of us love. Fan-favorite actors like Natalia Dyer and Asa Butterfield are among the cast, and the Russo brothers' production company is on board.

In a press release, Vertical Partner Peter Jarowey called the movie "a gripping debut film based on a high concept idea that caught, and held, our attention immediately." There's no trailer or "All Fun and Games" yet, but the movie does have a...

Exclusive: Andrew Dice Clay (Pam & Tommy) and Jordan Johnson-Hinds (The Endgame) will star in the Quiver-acquired basketball drama Warrior Strong from director Shane Belcourt (Red Rover), which has entered production in Northern Ontario, Canada.

The film written by Dan Gordon (Wyatt Earp) centers on basketball protege and egocentric Bilal Irving (Johnson-Hinds), who is asked to be the assistant coach of his former high school team, the Dumont Warriors, alongside Coach Avery Schmidt (Clay). Bilal subsequently learns that true coaching involves far more than simply teaching the game. The question is, will this rag-tag team of misfits have what it takes to put aside their differences and become Warrior Strong?

Nicholas Tabarrok and Leah Jaunzems are producing for Darius Films, with Quiver’s Berry Meyerowitz, Jeff Sackman and Larry Greenberg serving as exec producers. Quiver holds worldwide rights to the film and will be introducing it for sale at this year’s Toronto Film Festival.

A Korean man is currently being inundated with calls from people who, presumably, want him to murder them for playing Red Rover poorly. What else are we to make of this story from the South China Morning Post, which reports that a man in South Korea is receiving something like 4,000 calls a day, all because he has the…...

"You won't be able to see it until it's about to hit." It's the end of the world as we know it... and I feel fine! How about some apocalyptic cinema to relax you? This short film Red Rover originally premiered in 2015, but is just now being featured online thanks to a feature from Short of the Week. It's written & directed by Australian filmmaker Brooke Goldfinch, who was inspired by the news of a cult predicting the end of the world, so she started asking her friends "how they would spend their final hours." It follows two teenagers from a remote religious community who head to town looking for others after their Evangelical parents tell them an asteroid will soon destroy the Earth. Starring Natalie Racoosin and Christopher M. Gray as Lauren and Conrad. This film is especially melancholic, but has a beautifully tragic ending that makes it all worth it.

Brandon Cronenberg has proven to be an heir to his father, David, with his grisly sophomore feature, “Possessor Uncut,” which took home best film and director at Spain’s 53rd Sitges Film Festival on Saturday.

Running Oct.8-18, the fantastic film fest, Europe’s biggest, wrapped yesterday in Sitges, a picturesque seaside resort just south of Barcelona.

With these new honors, Brandon Cronenberg also suggests that his best new director award at 2012’s Sitges for debut feature, “Antiviral,” was no fluke.

A sci fi-horror hybrid, “Possessor Uncut” tracks an elite corporate assassin who uses brain-implant technology to take possession of other people’s bodies and slay prominent targets. The film first premiered at Sundance where Variety’s Peter Debruge described it as a “brilliant sci-fi puzzle” that was “more than just another bracingly extreme psychological thriller.”

Just Philippot’s “The Swarm” also snagged two awards: the Special Jury Prize and...

How far down can one go in life? How deep is the bottom - the point at which the only direction to go is up? And, what can get you there? This deeply introspective Canadian film, Red Rover, brings these questions to the forefront. The film opens with a musical countdown, if you will, while the opening credits run. In a 75 second montage we're introduced to Damon Pierce, the film's underdog protagonist. He's played by Kristian Bruun (Orphan Black and The Murdoch Mysteries) in a wondrously understated performance. We see Damon walking the beach with a metal detector, sitting dejectedly in his office cubicle and finally going to bed, on a couch, in an extremely cramped space with a palpable depression evident on his face. He turns the tiny lamp out... and Title.

We join him at work. His boring...

Red Rover premieres On Demand May 12 from Indiecan Entertainment.

Red Rover is not a film about traveling to Mars. Instead, it is a film about a man named Damon (Kristian Bruun) who is living in the basement of his ex-girlfriend. Eventually, he meets Phoebe (Cara Gee), a fantasy woman, who pushes him out of his everyday routine by proposing he join the Mars project.

Red Rover didn’t need to be about traveling to Mars. When you’re working within the framework of the independent film, the budget simply doesn’t exist to create a larger film with a lot of VFX work. Unfortunately, Red Rover is just a horribly derivative version of a “man getting back his mojo” movie.

The above-average aspects of the piece do show at least a little inventiveness, though. Shane Belcourt directs the film well and the actors are all in for the haphazard storyline.

Maggie Grace's Althea finds herself in a bit of a jam in this new clip from Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 5.

Few franchises are as good at finding inventive uses for zombies than Fear the Walking Dead. Still, in Fear the Walking Dead season 5 the show has outdone itself.

After a premiere that saw the world's first game of zombie Red Rover, Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 5 "The End of Everything" has seemingly cast a zombie as one of those St. Bernards with the helpful barrel on its neck. In this exclusive new clip, when Althea finds herself in a tight spot, she calls out for an unlikely helper. Give it a look below.

"Hey! Hey baldy! Over here, baldy!" Althea (Maggie Grace) says to a follicle-challenged walker as she is tied up in the back of a car. Althea has been M.I.

In the first look at Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 1, the gang comes across a rather gruesome sight.

The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead have been on for long enough now that one can easily forgot just how gross and chilling zomb...I mean walkers are. But fear not, for Fear the Walking Dead has not forgotten!

In this new exclusive clip from Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 1 "Here to Help," Morgan, Alicia, and friends come to a very peculiar roadblock. Give it a look below.

The human small intestine, when unpacked and unfurled can measure as long as 20 feet. The large intestine is around 5 feet. What you're looking at here is every inch of both intestines used to create a zombie roadblock. Think of it as a deathly game of "Red Rover."

The Fear the Walking Dead gang, led by Morgan (Lennie James...
