Ejecta: Press Release: "From the writer of Pontypool and Septic Man comes Ejecta, the tale of William Cassidy, a man haunted by a lifetime of alien encounters, searching for answers while evading menacing government agents. With an ingenious structure that stylishly interweaves William’s past and present, this sci-fi horror feature will make its Blu-ray debut on August 18th, 2015 from Scream Factory, in partnership with IFC Midnight.
A horrific alien invasion forces two men to fight for their lives during one universe-altering night of terror. This nerve-shredding film stars Julian Richings (Cube, X-Men: The Last Stand) in a tour-de-force performance as William Cassidy, a man who, following decades of frightening extraterrestrial encounters, is now trapped in a living hell of fear and paranoia. On the evening of a massive solar flare, Cassidy invites paranormal researcher Joe Sullivan (Adam Seybold, Exit Humanity) to his secluded home in the woods. What occurs there will change both men—and possibly the Earth—forever. Directed by Chad Archibald (The Drownsman) and Matt Wiele (Septic Man), the film also stars Lisa Houle (Pontypool) and Dee Wallace (The Howling). Ejecta was produced by Jesse Thomas Cook, John Geddes, and Matt Wiele through their genre production company Foresight Features.

The Last Survivors: Press Release: "In a barren, post-apocalyptic America, water is everything - and it's in dwindling supply in the action-packed drama THE LAST SURVIVORS. The suspenseful directorial debut of production designer Tom Hammock (The Guest, You're Next) comes to VOD and all digital platforms from Dark Sky Films on August 4, 2015. The film will also be available day and date on Blu-ray and DVD.
Featuring a sterling young adult cast, visceral in-camera action and hailed by critics and genre film fans on the festival circuit where it played as 'The Well,' the film has been compared to The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Book of Eli, Mad Max and Twilight.
THE LAST SURVIVORS centers on a teenage girl fighting to protect the last working well in a drought-stricken land. At the edge of an expansive, dusty valley, all that remains of the Wallace Farm for Wayward Youth are some hollowed-out husks of buildings. Seventeen-year-old Kendal (Haley Lu Richardson of The Bronze, and ABC Family's Ravenswood) can barely recall when the Oregon valley was all lush farmland. It's been a decade since the last rainfall, and society at large has dried up and blown away.
Kendal and her last friend on earth, Dean (Booboo Stewart, The Twilight Saga, X-Men: Days of Future Past) barely scrape by while dreaming of escape. Dean is ill and can stay alive only by drinking water regularly - luckily, he and Kendal have access to a special well with enough water for both of them. But when a greedy water baron lays claim to what little of the precious resource remains underground, Kendal must decide whether to run and hide or bravely fight for the few cherished things she has left.
Co-starring Max Charles (The Amazing Spider-Man, American Sniper), Jon Gries (Napoleon Dynamite, Taken), Michael Welch (The Twilight Saga), Jacqueline Emerson (The Hunger Games) and genre veteran Barbara Crampton (You're Next, Re-Animator, We Are Still Here). The film was written by Tom Hammock and Jacob Forman (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane) and edited by director Adam Wingard (The Guest, You're Next, VHS 1&2). Billy Federighi and Dante Federighi (Adventures in the Sin Bin) are the executive producers, and the producers are Seth Caplan (Independent Spirit Award Winner In Search of a Midnight Kiss, The Young Kieslowski), Chris Harding (V/H/S/2), Jacob Forman and Tom Hammock."

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
