The Painter is another tale of a former covert operative forced to pick up his weapons and get back in the game. Can director Kimani Ray Smith and writer Brian Buccellato find a way to give the year a fresh start with the usual assortment of high-stakes espionage mixed with personal and professional betrayals?
Peter was one of the CIA’s top agents until he was sent to kill the same person his wife Elena’s team was sent to bring back alive. She lost the child she was carrying, and their marriage fell apart soon after.
It also destroyed his trust in the agency and in his adoptive father Henry Byrne. He adopted Peter after his parents, who were also agents, were killed in a...

Awkwardly arriving the very same day as “The Bricklayer,” with Aaron Eckhart as an ex-CIA agent with the titular dayjob, “The Painter” has Charlie Weber as ex-cia agent who has taken up … well, you can guess. This more humbly scaled actioner likewise finds its uber-tough erstwhile operative reluctantly forced back into activity amid a conspiratorial hail of bullets. From that shared starting point, Brian Buccellato’s script finds its own path. But neither he nor director Kimani Ray Smith locate much credibility or suspense in an uninspired tale that also features Jon Voight, as well as Madison Bailey from the Netflix series “The Outer Banks.” Lacking in most departments beyond decent pacing and adequate technical polish, this forgettable thriller launches in limited U.S. theaters Jan. 5, and on digital platforms Jan. 9.

It doesn’t take much effort to guess what’s on the menu in “Evil Feed”, an over the top cannibal gore comedy-martial arts hybrid directed by stuntman and stunt co-ordinator Kimani Ray Smith, known for his work on the likes of “Watchmen”, “X-Men”, and other Hollywood blockbusters. Having made the short “Suffer” back in 2011, the film marks Smith’s feature debut, and sees him going the full-on splatter route with a bloody tale that really lets the red stuff fly while packing in plenty of low-brow humour and cheap titillation, all in the worst possible taste. The sketchy plot revolves around the aptly named Long Pig Restaurant, where the customers dine on human flesh while watching death matches beamed live from the “Pit of Gore” in the basement. Mad owner Steven (Terry Chen, “House of Cards”) and his equally psychotic assistant Yuki (Alyson Bath, “Bounty Hunters”) find themselves with...

I have many mixed tastes when it comes to horror and sometimes some movies just don’t work for me. Then there are ones that are crazy enough to not take themselves too seriously and just go for the crazy, and they catch me. Evil Feed is a film that mixes mixed martial arts, cannibalism and sex together in an orgy of cult sensationalism that refuses to let me hate it; I loved every minute of it.
When their friends disappear a group of martial artists are forced to infiltrate a Chinese restaurant where the menu is not exactly what it seems. With a fighting club being used to provide the meat for the dishes and the house...

Review: Adam Wing. Director: Kimani Ray Smith. Evil Feed is a new horror film that blends torture-porn excess with bruising Mma fight choreography. The Long Pig Restaurant, known in the underground world for its cannibalistic cuisine, has a new attraction. The Pit of Gore is where blood thirsty customers get to watch their chosen courses being slaughtered, as captured elite fighters are forced to battle to the death for their 'tendertainment'. See what they did there? Part of me suspects the filmmakers came up with the word 'tendertainment' first and the rest of the movie just kind of fell into place. Directed by Kimani Ray Smith, written by Smith, Aaron Au and Jana Mitsoula, and starring Laci J. Mailey, Terry Chen and Alyson Bath, Evil Feed came from the mind of Horror Film fanatic and prosthetics master Ryan Nicholson. With 'recommendations' from Jeffrey Dahmer, who claims it's his favourite place to eat,...

Found
Written and directed by Scott Schirmer
USA, 2013
In Found, Marty (Gavin Brown), a horror movie-loving, graphic novel-writing suburban kid, discovers the severed heads his brother (Ethan Philbeck) keeps bringing home. Nonplussed at first, Marty soon has his life spiral into the kind of horror film he so dearly loves.
Watching Found can be quite the confusing experience. On the one hand, there’s themes of identity and maturity, with Marty experiencing bullying, sexual awakening, and familial conflict. There’s also a small commentary about the nature of horror movies and how they can desensitize younger audiences (Marty keeps his brother’s severed heads a secret, much like he does his mother’s old love letters from an ex and his father’s rude magazines).
But those qualities are all but made moot by the film’s jarringly inconsistent tone. The acting is stilted and stiff, making for an oddly...

We are now about a week deep into Toronto After Dark 2013, and there are only two more nights left of the festival. As always, I’m starting to really miss my nice comfortable bed, and the thought of a homecooked meal is making me drool, but some of the festival’s most anticipated titles are still in store.
Last night, though, we got a double dose of serious crazy with the Toronto Premiere of Found, and the World Premiere of Evil Feed. The theater was packed for both screenings, and each movie brought it’s own brand of crazy to the audiences.
The night began with a short, Canadian made, film called Liebe (which translates to Love). The film tells the story of a couple who go on a picnic only to find that something is watching them and wants what they have. It ended up being one of the...

Crazy, sexy and bloody hell of a dinner movie! That’s how they already describe the whole thing, but I’m not so sure what to think about this. First of all, Evil Feed is some strange mix of horror, action & martial arts. Which sounds great, but man – I totally hate the rest of the story ’cause if you loose a fight in that underground ring – they will simply serve you in the Chinese restaurant! Wtf?
Well, don’t ask me, Kimani Ray Smith is responsible for the whole thing. He directs the movie from a script he co-wrote with Aaron Au. Today we have some cool photos from this project to share with you, but they won’t fool me! I still think that the story is creepy enough to make me skip my dinner!
I mean, we have the Long Pig restaurant as the ultimate underground restaurant sensation.
