A former Britpop rocker who now works on a farm gets caught driving drunk and faces deportation after living in Los Angeles for many years. His efforts to stay in the U.S. force him to confront the past and current demons in his life. Lachlan (Robert Carlyle) is a great choice for a lead in this movie, the film is full of guilt and responsibility with delicate depressing tone. The main character has many behavior elements full of resignation and self-destructive anger especially when he has to face his melodrama with his immigration status in USA. When a bit of behind-the-wheel boozing threatens to get him deported back to the U.K., Lachlan drinks more and suffers more too. Only a reunion with the daughter he never knew can, possibly, save him. Is this would work for this Agriculture worker and ex- rocker? Two thumbs up for this movie.

Fred (Colm Meaney) lives a quiet and isolated life in his car, having lost all hope of improving his situation and re-entering the ranks of society. That all changes when he forms an unlikely friendship with Cathal (Colin Morgan), a dope-smoking 21-year-old with a positive attitude, who becomes his parking lot neighbor. Sharing laughs, and the hard times too, Fred and Cathal find the simple, free pleasures of life.
The screenplay merely hints at everyone’s backstory, but instead of coming off as mysteriously ambiguous but has comedy, melodrama and crime-thriller. Living on the margins is tough but Fred manages to retain its characters’ humanity. The only thing that missed in this movie is a bit of details about both the character’s past life. However, it is a genuinely touching film, both funny and sad moments.

Corey Feldman stars in the new indie horror film, “6 Degrees of Hell,” which was shot at the Hotel of Horror haunted house in Ross Township, Pa., a few miles north of the Slate Belt. “Uncle Jack’s Hotel of Horror” is besieged by a dark presence after two friends of “Uncle” Jack, Chris and Kellen, unwittingly release a deadly evil by transporting local psychic Mary Wilkins’ collection of haunted objects as props for the popular tourist attraction. At the same time, a local TV ghost hunter, confronts an evil that has haunted him all his life-one he believes is responsible for his sister’s death years ago. His search puts him in the path of a rogue police chief and June-a girl who seems to be the eye of this supernatural perfect storm. They all find themselves connected to the old hotel while the threads of their own personal horrors draw paranormal investigator Kyle Brenner (Feldman) to pull all the threads together.
This movie has turned into a total creep but is an excellent film in many takes especially in the hunter times. Two thumbs up!
