It's the weekend! I hope you guys are looking for stuff too do because I definitely have recommendations. First off, Dave Made A Maze comes to VOD and select theatres today, and San Francisco happens to house on of those select theatres... It's our very own Roxie Theatre! You can get more of a feeling for this weird little adventure film by checking out our review here. Good Time is also opening today and will be screening all weekend at the Alamo Drafthouse. This one is more of an urban fantasy crime movie, but it's absolutely worth checking out. And of course, the found footage film I've been waiting for for weeks, The Monster Project, is released on VOD today.
And there's more!

In a chilling and inventive take on the classic monster movie genre, THE MONSTER PROJECT follows a group of aspiring horror filmmakers, eager to raise their YouTube subscriber count, who post an online casting call for "real life" monsters to interview for their documentary. They find three participants and choose to film them sharing their haunted experiences in a mansion in the woods on the night of a lunar eclipse. The production suddenly turns into a nightmare when the participants transform into a real vampire, demon, and skinwalker (a type of harmful witch, according to Navajo legends, that can transform into any animal with the intent of harming people), forcing the unsuspecting crew to fight for their lives.

The third in director Sam Raimi's stylish, comic book-like horror trilogy that began with The Evil Dead (1982), this tongue-in-cheek sequel offers equal parts sword-and-sorcery-style action, gore, and comedy. Bruce Campbell returns as the one-armed Ash, now a supermarket employee ("Shop Smart...Shop S-Mart") who is transported by the powers of a mysterious book back in time with his Oldsmobile '88 to the 14th century medieval era. Armed only with a shotgun, his high school chemistry textbook, and a chainsaw that mounts where his missing appendage once resided, the square-jawed, brutally competent Ash quickly establishes himself as a besieged kingdom's best hope against an "army of darkness" currently plaguing the land.
