"I think it has some good performances. I liked Cleopatra Coleman. She wrote Hover and she stars in the lead. … And you can never go wrong with Beth Grant. … I enjoyed it." - Rafe "There’s more depth to the characters … and I thought the effects were pretty decent. … Nice effort. … it’s worth a watch." - Jeff "It’s a solid effort."- Doc Director: Matt Osterman Cast: Cleopatra Coleman, Shane Coffey, Craig muMs Grant Vidar the Vampire A Christian farmer searching for a higher purpose to life falls into sin and wakes up as the Prince of Darkness in the city of Stavanger, Norway. "I’ve enjoyed several of the Norwegian horror movies that have come out in the last few years. The humor hits me right and Vidar the Vampire did the same thing … and it starts pretty much right off the bat. ... There are a lot of really hilarious scenes, both visually and in the dialogue. … I enjoyed it." - Jeff "It’s tragic and sad and funny all at the same time." - Doc Director: Thomas Aske Berg, Fredrik Waldeland Cast: Thomas Aske Berg, Brigt Skrettingland, Kim Sønderholm King Cohen: The Wild World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen A feature-length documentary on the acclaimed work and eclectic career of maverick filmmaker Larry Cohen (BLACK CAESAR, GOD TOLD ME TO, Q THE WINGED SERPENT, THE STUFF, PHONE BOOTH) "I think there’s a lot to like here. Even if you just barely know Cohen’s work, King Cohen will pull back that veil and I wouldn’t be surprised if it makes you want to see more of what he’s done." - Rafe "King Cohen is just the most beautiful story about a guy who has had such a positive and sometimes weird effect on a myriad of actors and producers and writers and has nurtured so many people’s careers. … You come out feeling so good after watching this." - Vanessa "Anybody that’s into horror needs to see King Cohen!" - Jeff "Amazing, just the drive and the ambition that Larry Cohen had. He knew what he wanted and just ran out and got it." - Doc Director: Steve Mitchell Cast: J.J. Abrams, Rick Baker, Eric Bogosian
