Synopsis:On the last day of the first manned mission to Mars, a crew member of Tantalus Base believes he has made an astounding discovery – fossilized evidence of bacterial life. Unwilling to let the relief crew claim all the glory, he disobeys orders to pack up and goes out on an unauthorized expedition to collect further samples. But a routine excavation turns to disaster when the porous ground collapses, and he falls into a deep crevice and near certain death. His devastated colleagues attempt to recover his body. However, when another vanishes they start to suspect that the life-form they have discovered is not yet dead. As the group begins to fall apart it seems their only hope is the imminent arrival of the relief ship Aurora. (Source)

Oh no, my friends. To be a babysitter in this town one has to be a bad  mama jamma who can go toe-to-toe with any hard to kill masked, blade wielding freak that happens to show up primed to murder anyone he meets. And woe be the young whippersnapper who doesn’t take the suggestions that the babysitter gives about making sure your room is secure.

Directed By: Anthony Leonardi III
Written By: Jonathan W.C. Mills
Starring: Clancy Brown, Anne Heche, Jennifer Stone

Synopsis:NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR was inspired by the legend of Stull, Kansas.

But in this sleepy community of friendly neighbors, a horrific series of occurrences awaits them: Their teenage daughter (Rebekah Brandes of Bellflower) is being tormented by grisly visions. Her younger sister (Jennifer Stone of “Wizards Of Waverly Place”) has been marked for a depraved ritual. And deep within the heartland darkness, one of The Seven Gates Of Hell demands the blood of the innocent to unleash the creatures of the damned. Ethan Peck (“10 Things I Hate About You”) and Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption) co-star in this demonic shocker featuring original music by producer SLASH and inspired by the real-life paranormal legacy of Stull.

Derek

fateful-findings
THE ROOM is one of the greatest bad movies to ever see the light of day. It’s horribleness is epic and made SyFy Channel fluff like SHARKNADO and SHARKTOPUS look like cinematic masterpieces by comparison. And finally there is a movie that looks to embody all of the goofy amateurish charm of THE ROOM…I give you FATEFUL FINDINGS.
