Gruesome Magazine - Horror Movie Reviews and Interviews


Aug 20, 2018

This week, the Grue-Crew follow some punks up to a cabin in the woods, witness Bruce Davidson performing an exorcism, and root for Brittany Allen to survive her encounter with Hannah Emily Anderson. First up is the possession film Along Came the Devil from director Jason DeVan, featuring Sydney Sweeney struggling with the demons of her past. The second film, The Ranger from director Jenn Wexler, follows Chloe Levine as she faces an evil from her past in the form of...the ranger. Rounding out the show is the tense thriller What Keeps You Alive from director Colin Minihan, featuring a killer cast, a killer twist, and a seriously messed-up killer. The hunt is on for the diamond in the rough. Doc Rotten from Horror News Radio and Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era are joined by Rafe Telsch and Vanessa Thompson.

THE RANGER

Teen punks, on the run from the cops and hiding out in the woods, come up against the local authority - an unhinged park ranger with an ax to grind.

 

"I’m so proud of Jenn Wexler at being a female director and doing such an amazing job in this." - Vanessa

"Chloe Levine and Jeremy Holm create a power duo in this film that really makes the film." - Jeff

"Don’t be fooled. Check this movie out. It is a lot of fun. It has slasher elements, but ... it’s not one thing. There’s a lot of stuff going on with this, but it certainly relishes in the gore and the kills." - Doc

Director: Jenn Wexler (w/ Giaco Furino)
Cast: Chloe Levine, Jeremy Holm, Granit Lahu

THE RANGER opens in NYC August 17th and L.A. September 7th!

WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE

"Another winner from Colin Minihan with standout performances from Hannah Emily Anderson and Brittany Allen. See this!" - Jeff

"It is a very satisfying and rich movie. It is so about the characters and the dialogue. Colin Minihan shows some flare [in What Keeps You Alive]." - Doc

Director: Colin Minihan
Cast: Hannah Emily Anderson, Brittany Allen, Martha MacIsaac
