Stars: Catherine Bérubé, Lake Delisle, Alex Rice, Margaux Vaillancourt | Written and Directed by Mariel Sharp
At just fifteen minutes, short movie Where the Witch Lives manages to pack a lot into what seems like just the start of a story. A mother and her two young daughters move into old, worn-down and isolated house next to a river. The twelve-year-old and eldest daughter believes that a witch that lives there is starting to torment them.
It’s a perfect short story, in that it fills the run time perfectly and runs well as a short but leaves you wanting more. And it’s easy to see how this could be made into a full-length feature either by continuing the story that is told here or by stretching out the story told here.
You’re quickly thrown into the short and everything is explained right away. It’s a dark story,...

in their remote, rambling house by the waterside, 12-year-old Cassie (Lake Kahentawaks Delisle) and her little sister Phé (Margaux Vaillancourt) live according to strict rules. They have to be in bed by nine every night, and are never to leave the property, because if they do, they are told, the river witch will get them. Mommie Christine (Catherine Bérubé) treats this very seriously. When it emerges that Phé has gone wandering, she is forced to burn her little toy rabbit. Cassie is outraged, reminding Mommie Christine that it’s all she has left, but Mommie Christine says that it’s a necessary sacrifice to keep them all safe.
Seen through the children’s eyes, Mariel Sharp’s latest short Fantasia International Film Festival contribution is rich in the visual language of childhood: full of low angles, a patchwork of light and shadow as lush grass gives way to a shadowy tunnel of trees and.

Being Human He needs a new nail person “Partial Eclipse of the Heart” Air Date: 4/2/12
The action picks up directly where we were left off from last week, with Aidan cornered by Henry and a couple of Mother’s henchman vamps. Instead of staking Aidan, Henry turns on the other vampires and helps Aidan elude capture. Henry wants to help Aidan on the lam, and run away with him (and leave Suren), but Aidan refuses, wanting Henry to move up Mother’s ranks instead and is unable to leave his love behind. He gives Henry a little stake in the side to make his point, and to save Henry from suspicion on returning empty handed. Suren, meanwhile, is starving and restless, wanting to feed and wondering if she made the right decision to leave with Aidan after all. To sate Suren’s hunger, Aidan goes off to find a new...

After many months of speculation, Radio-Canada, a French Canadian TV network, has finally confirm that it will renew the procedural series 19-2.
According to Richard Therrien, a journalist from Le Soleil, Jocelyn Deschênes saved the show by joining it as a producer. After all, even though the first season was produced by Luc Châtelain et Pierre Beaudry, Radio-Canada wanted the inclusion of "an experienced producer" in order to renew 19-2 for a second season.
However, Therrien didn't confirm if Châtelain and Beaudry will return for the second season of 19-2 as producers.
The production on the show will begin in Spring 2012.
With the renewal, we will still follow the daily life of two cops from Montreal who happen to be partners (Claude Legault and Réal Bossé). Even though they hate each other, they learn to work together. Moreover, the first season left us when Ben Chartier (Claude Legault), a mole...

5150 Elm's Way is a French language film that was shot in Saint-Hubert, Quebec and now the film is travelling to the sunnier shores of Newport, California. 5150 Elm's Way is a definitive horror film, as the innocent are tortured, dozens of captives are kept in a dank basement, and one man takes insanity, or religious fervor to ecstatic levels. This film will have one showing. Beginning at 2:30pm on Friday April 23, 5150 Elm's Way will be displayed and this film will likely be the shocker of the festival. Canadian filmmakers will show off their penchant for horror cinema and your attendance, or thoughts on the film would be welcomed. A trailer and further details are below.
The plot line for 5150 Elm's Way aka 5150, Rue Des Ormes:
"At the end of a quiet street in a small town is 5150 Elms Way. Yannick knocks on the door of a house after falling off his bike,...
