If there was ever an actor whose career could be aligned with the old Halloween tradition of trick or treat, it would be Nicolas Cage. From Oscar-winning highs to confounding lows, it’s fair to say that the star has served up a fair share of each across his sprawling résumé, and he’ll be hoping to serve up a spooky treat this fall season with Uli Edel’s Pay the Ghost.
Having directed Houdini, Oz and Homicide: Life On The Streets – not to mention a feature film in The Baader Meinhof Complex – Pay the Ghost is somewhat of a departure for Edel, which sees Cage’s Mike Cole scramble across the four corners of NYC in an attempt to find his missing son. You see, upon attending their local festive parade, the young boy is caught up in the atmosphere, capturing the hustle and bustle on his camera,...

Judging by the trailer, it looks like some supernatural elements are in play here. The film also stars Sarah Wayne Callies (“The Walking Dead”) and it is scored by Evil Dead composer, Joseph LoDuca.
Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas) stars in this intense and chilling thriller about one man’s desperate search for his missing child. One year after his young son disappeared during a Halloween carnival, Mike Cole (Cage) is haunted by eerie images and terrifying messages he can’t explain. Together with his estranged wife (Sarah Wayne Callies, The Walking Dead), he will stop at nothing to unravel the mystery and find their son—and, in doing so, he unearths a legend that refuses to remain buried in the past.
Pay The Ghost opens theatrically and VOD on September 25.

This Halloween, there's going to be an extra "treat" waiting for you: another random Nicolas Cage movie, "Pay The Ghost." This one does have some possibility of not just being another movie that will live in the furthest corners of DVD and VOD hell. Read More: The Films Of Nicolas Cage: A Retrospective The picture is directed by Uli Edel, the man behind "The Baader Meinhof Complex," "Last Exit To Brooklyn," plus episodes of "Houdini," "Oz," and "Homicide: Life On The Streets." The story, however, by Dan Kay about a conspiracy of missing children on Halloween seems silly. Here's the official synopsis: Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas) stars in this intense and chilling thriller about one man’s desperate search for his missing child. One year after his young son disappeared during a Halloween carnival, Mike Cole (Cage) is haunted by eerie images and terrifying messages he can’t explain.

It’s not easy being President of the United States, and it’s not easy looking just like him either. In 2008, when then-Senator Barack Obama began his ascent to the White House, Louis Ortiz discovered that he had a rare and potentially valuable commodity: he was the spitting image of the future President. In Bronx Obama, we follow Ortiz as he tries to turn his doppelganger luck into a legitimate venture: from a gag he does for a couple of hundred dollars here and there, to a full-blown career as a presidential impersonator. There are a lot of documentaries about election campaigns, and there are a lot of political sketch comedies, but Bronx Obama is the bizarre love child of both.
Recall that the real Obama was elected in the midst of the worst economic meltdown since the Great Depression, and that there were millions and millions affected in...

We've all seen our fair share of horror web-based shows, but none of them have streamlined the viewing experience like Haunting Melissa. Hooked Digital Media, a next-generation production company, premiered the multi-part horror tale today exclusively on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and ShockTillYouDrop.com got a sneak peek earlier this week as to how the experience worked.
Going in, I had no idea what to expect. We've seen so many multi-media gimmicks hit the horror genre - especially with the advent of mobile devices - yet director Neal Edelstein (producer of films like The Ring) has found a way to channel his story through something that's incredibly smooth, creative and ambitious.
Written by Andrew Klavan (True Crime, Don’t Say A Word), Haunting Melissa stars Kassia Warshawski as Melissa Strogue, Travis Nelson as Brandon, Barb Mitchell as Katherine Strogue, Jasmine Berg as Holly, Greg Lawson as Jack Strogue, Larry Reese as Mike Cole,...
