It is a conventional stance of Hollywood ingenues to rise to prominence through roles in horror movies, only to disparage their genre origins once presented with opportunities more palatable to the mainstream.

This year, audiences awaiting the return of Eli Roth find an embarrassment of riches. On the directorial end, there’s both werewolf-in-a-steel town Netflix original series HEMLOCK GROVE and his Amazonian cannibal odyssey, THE GREEN INFERNO. The sometimes actor scripted and stars in Nicolas Lopez’s Chilean earthquake picture AFTERSHOCK and most relevantly, has lent a guiding hand to emerging talent, producing Ti West’s upcoming THE SACRAMENT and the sequel to one of the more undervalued of recent American genre films, THE LAST EXORCISM PART II (out March 1st).

Actor Robert Knepper has a long résumé; though he may be best-remembered from TV’s PRISON BREAK, he has also done solid work in horror, science fiction and fantasy. However, Knepper has never had a gig like the new series CULT before. Then again, few if any other actors have, either.

FATHER’S DAY was a breakout indie hit of 2012 and finally put the Winnipeg filmmaking collective Astron-6 on the map after a long time in the trenches of YouTube shorts and experiments in self-released DVDs. A gruesome grindhouse chronicle of a maniac cannibal rapist who only targets fathers, and the ragtag bunch on a mission to end his grim legacy, the film manages to not just entertain but also drive a message about the politics of the rape-revenge genre.
