The second weekend of Southend's horror festival was held at the White Bus Cinema last month and kicked off on the Saturday afternoon with 'Dark Awakening' (Dean C. Jones, 2014). This American thriller features a cute young couple with their photogenic little boy who move into deserted mansion in the countryside. Their en famille attempt to live in rural seclusion is marred by the fact the entire town appears to be inhabited by sinister old people who won't stop staring at them. Their little boy starts insisting there are imaginary friends around the place and draws creepy crayon pictures of them, when not investigating the deserted basement against his parents' orders. There's an entertaining backstory of the dad's previous career as a murdering child (pushing a child on a swing then sneaking up behind them with a pitchfork to stick in their back)....

This haunted-house movie, directed by makeup artist Dean Jones, is just a cheap assemblage of tired cliches, ignoble shock tactics and soap opera dialogue
There are scrappy, low-budget projects, and then there’s just plain cheap. Dark Awakening is bargain-bin cinema from the very first frame: its opening credits looking like a television movie from 25 years ago.
The plot feels even older. A man must return to the house in which he grew up – a spooky one riddled with ghouls in the cellar representing sublimated memories of unmotivated, uninspired and, importantly, not at all scary violent moments.

Lance Henriksen is one of those actors we wish could go on making movies forever, and thankfully the genre-friendly thespian shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, word just broke of his new supernatural feature. Read on for the skinny!
THR is reporting that Henriksen is starring in Nevermore, a horror thriller written and being directed by Dean C. Jones. Jason Cook, a mainstay of the soap operas "General Hospital" and "Days of Our Lives," and Valerie Azlynn, who has appeared on shows like "Castle," also are starring in the movie, shooting in Graham, N.C.
Nevermore centers on a couple who experience paranormal activity involving dead children when they move to an estate in Massachusetts. Henriksen will play a parish priest whom the couple turn to, but the move is a mistake because the priest already knows all about resurrected children.
Albert Dickerson, Michele Weisler, and Starr Jones are producing,...
