As KillHer opens, Mattie is just days away from getting married and her best friend Eddie has planned a camping trip for the bachelorette weekend. That doesn’t sit well with Jess and Rae who feel like they’ve been pushed aside since Mattie and Eddie became friends.
Also somewhere in the woods is Jagger, Mattie’s fiance. The idea being that they’ll surprise him and his buddies by setting up camp next to them and having a party weekend. Of course, if they’d seen Slashlorette Party they might have reservations about combing the bride and groom’s weekends. And they certainly have some reservations after they set up their tent next to what they think is Jagger’s tent. Only to...

"I want you to make sure you know what you're getting into before saying 'I do.'" Dark Sky has debuted an official trailer for an indie horror thriller called KillHer, another hip modern "what if it was also a hashtag" (#KillHer) film title. Mattie and her friends go on a weekend trip to the woods to plan Mattie's wedding, settled near the camp of Mr. Rogers, and with no phone signal, their trip starts to turn into a bad idea when they start dying and a big secret is revealed. All these girls wanted was a killer pre-bachelorette party... and that's exactly what they got! Ha ha. The indie horror film stars Jenna Z. Alvarez as Mattie, M.C. Huff, Emily Hall, Nicole Lovince, Tom Kiesche, Harrison White, Jack Schumacher, Ron Roggé, and Meredith Thomas. This is opening on VOD in October for anyone to watch - just before Halloween.

In limited theaters and on VOD platforms October 20 from Dark Sky Films is Robyn August’s (Party With Me) indie slasher KillHer, which now has a trailer and art.
In the film…
“Mattie and her three besties–Eddie, Jess, and Rae–head into the woods for a weekend to plan Mattie’s upcoming wedding and bachelorette party. Eddie, Mattie’s roommate and an unrelenting practical joker, leads them to believe they will be setting up camp near Mattie’s hunky fiancé, Jagger, and his friends. They soon realize the tent they’ve snuggled up next to belongs to a mysterious recluse named Mr. Rogers, rather than Jagger, and this is definitely his neighborhood!
“With zero cell reception and only a literal pot to piss in, their weekend camping trip is beginning to look like a bad idea for these unhappy campers. But it only gets worse when people start to...

Nicole Lovince, Emily Hall, and Jenna Z in ‘KillHer’
From the opening scream scene, director Robyn August’s cleverly named KillHer captures the classic slasher film vibe and then finesses it into something original and entertaining. Once the main characters play a game listing stupid things people do in horror movies, it’s obvious KillHer knows exactly which boxes it needs to tick. And watching as those items are checked off is bloody good fun.
The film follows four women who head into the woods for a pre-bachelorette party. Why the woods? Because one of the ladies – Eddie, the outsider of the group – has arranged it so that they’re spending the weekend camping near Mattie’s fiancé, Jagger, and his friends.
The tension between Eddie and Mattie’s two other friends is so thick you could slice it with Michael Myers’ knife. Eddie’s idea of a good time...

The Boys in the Choir: Polk’s Antiquated Rendition of the Rural Gay Narrative
The blatant underrepresentation of black gay characters in film, whatever letter they’re placed into on the inclusive Lgbt spectrum, is simply not reason enough to appreciate the elemental contrivances of Patrik-Ian Polk’s Blackbird, an independent film rife with cliché in its euphemistic depiction of the rural queer experience that does little to elevate the film’s archaic nature.
The title has been inadvertently thrown into a higher caliber pop culture zeitgeist thanks to its distinction as Mo’Nique’s first post-Oscar role since her 2009 win for Best Supporting Actress in Precious. The significant media coverage concerning potential fallout between herself and director Lee Daniels should enhance the film’s shelf-life beyond the trappings of a niche market. Produced by the actress and her agent/husband Sidney Hicks, the project feels very much like the...
