Movie Review: Don’t Move

Synopsis: 

A church group’s annual retreat turns deadly when they wander into the wrong part of the Ozark wilderness, and something starts picking them off one by one. Suspicion falls on Ricky (Russell “Russ” Vitale), the troublemaker of the group. But the real threat is far worse. Deep in the forest, wrapped in a labyrinth of webs, the group is pursued by a terrifying prehistoric arachnid that hunts by vibration. When every step could be their last, they only have one choice: DON’T MOVE. It’s up to Megan (Lyndsy Fonseca) to hold what’s left of the group together and get them out alive.

Review:

Well Go USA’s new horror film, Don’t Move, is a well paced horror film that focuses on its core competencies. The film features a church camping group in Missouri that stumbles upon a horrific monster. The monster begins to feast upon the group and the film quickly becomes a survival tale. At the center of the group is Lyndsy Fonseca’s character, who has overcome the loss of her husband and son in a prior tragedy. The Direction by Maclain Nelson is good. He is working with a low budget film and, oddly, like Jaws, he focuses more on the characters and their fear than delving too deeply into a cheaply constructed monster. This was a good watch, and I recommend it.

The Chronicles of the Chosen Undead: Book 1 – The Gifts of the Dark God

Title: The Gifts of the Dark God

Series: The Chronicles of the Chosen Undead

Volume: 1

Author: Fred Darkness

Genre: Horror/Fantasy/Dark Fantasy

Publisher: Independent

Release: June 2024

Synopsis:

A man has risen from the dead because of a spell of extraordinary power and cruelty. The curse forces him to die and rise again without preserving the memory of his previous lives. Condemned to the contempt of humanity, to an outcast existence without the hope of love, family, friendship, or home, he only remembers one name from his past life: Rhys. 

Not even the Keras, the deities that govern the duration of human life, have been able to explain how he came back to life or who cursed him. However, they recall an ancient legend that tells of an undead who, in the darkest moment of humanity, will decide the fate of the world. But will Rhys be the chosen undead? What fate will he choose for the world?

Now, he wanders the world, supported only by the advice of the Blind Herald. His only comfort is the spectacle of a star shining brighter than a rainbow. Only one other person can see it: Jude. She is also a chosen one, destined to become the Regent of the White Sanctuary, the only place in all the lands where magic is still practiced.

Meanwhile, the sorcerer Radamant, with a stroke of his hand, killed the Emperor of Heidal and took control of the capital and the Primeval Flame, the source of power used by the God of Light to give a soul to men. With his control, the Checkrops, the three immortal demons who empowered Radamant, have cast upon humanity the plague of the undead. In their territories, endless hosts of demons and monsters have awakened after millennia, ready to wipe out humankind, weak and quarrelsome.

To defend them should be the Protectors of the Primeval Flame, the best-trained militia of the imperial army. Krun, their most valiant of all, has been entrusted with the task of recovering the mythical sword Naerling, which belonged to the Dark God, but the man’s soul is shaken by the betrayal of his lover.

The fate of the world is at stake, but everyone seems to think only of their personal goals. Rhys seeks a place in the world, Jude the respect of the other priestesses, Radamant wants revenge for the pain he felt as a child, and Krun hopes to forget the love of his life who betrayed him. Who will succeed in his quest while the age of humanity seems on the verge of collapse?
