Scott Haze | Movie Roar

Directed by Scott Cooper, Antlers is a horror movie beyond horror movies. In a small-town Oregon, the story follows a young boy, played by Jeremy T. Thomas, who is creepy when he reads his story to his teacher, Keri Russell.

His story is so diabolical that it is undeniably evil and insane. The teacher’s brother is a sheriff, played by Jesse Plemons, and together they investigate the possible horrors within this boy’s life.

The teacher and her brother discover that the boy is harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences relating to ancestral spirits of some kind.

Guillermo Del Toro is one of the producers of the movie. Based on the short story The Quiet Boy by Nick Antosca, the screenplay by Henry Chaisson and Nick Antosca with revisions by Cooper.

“I couldn’t be more excited to begin production on Antlers with Guillermo Del Toro, and reunite with my dear friends at Fox Searchlight,” said Cooper. “They’re incredible filmmakers – not to mention necessary filmmakers – and are extremely passionate and supportive of my vision as I venture into yet another genre, and delve into the unnerving world of ancestral spirits.”

The second trailer is creepy without telling us anything about the storyline.

The third trailer is a redband trailer, but it doesn’t seem that gross or disgusting.

Directed by Jason Hall, Thank You for Your Service follows a group of U.S. soldiers returning from Iraq. They struggle to fit in with a “normal” life, such as being with family and living in general civilian life. It is the memories of a war that threatens to destroy them long after they’ve left the battlefield.

The story is told with a strong ensemble cast led by Miles Teller, Haley Bennett, Amy Schumer, Joe Cole, Beulah Koale, Scott Haze, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Brad Beyer, Omar J. Dorsey, and Jayson Warner Smith. The story is based on the bestselling book by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and author David Finkel.

This is Jason Hall’s directorial debut. He received recognition for his screenplay American Sniper. He also wrote the script for this heart-wrenching drama.

The trailer and featurette with an in-depth interview with Jason Hall are awesome and touches on the battle our service men experience when they return home. Let’s help them by thanking them for their service and using green mental health treatments, not psychotropic drugs, because they are not the answer.
