Besides seeing THE HATCHING at a film festival in Slovenia, one of the best things that happened to me this summer was getting to hang out a bit with Joseph Quinn (STRANGER THINGS) in London and Toronto. What a talent! Check out his very different work in season 3 of CB STRIKE.

Two new, fresh horror movies for Halloween! HATCHING, a suburban mother-from-Hell horror fantasy with a superb cast and subtitles. Plus the claustrophobic BARBARIAN with great work from Bill Skarsgäard (IT), Justin Long (JEEPERS CREEPERS) and my buddy Richard Brake. More mommies!
