In this latest installment we interview director Jason Connery, helmer of the horror/sci-fi mash-up 51.

After Dark Originals ’11: ‘Husk’ Gets SyFy Channel Premiere This Saturday!
With a limited theatrical run coming to an end this Thursday, After Dark is doing something pretty cool with their originals series as some will arrive earlier than VOD and DVD on the SyFy network. The killer scarecrow flick Husk will be premiering on the SyFy network this Saturday February 5th at 9:00 PM with a special Encore Presentation at 1:00AM. The only question I have is whether or not SyFy will edit out gore? The late showing makes me think we’ll be seeing the film in full. On a side note, I just finished watching Seconds Apart and it was pretty great. I highly recommend it when you get a chance (and so does David). Check out a new promo for Husk that teases the killer scarecrow inside.

After Dark Originals ’11 Review: ‘Prowl’ and ‘Husk’
5 of the After Dark Originals have just hit limited theaters across the country and David Harley has reviews of two of them for you. He found both the quasi-vampire flick Prowl and the killer scarecrow movie Husk disappointing.
“‘Prowl’ definitely succeeds in the gore department, offering up buckets of the gooey red stuff during almost every minute of the final hour, but little else is there for viewers to sink their teeth into.”
“‘Husk’ does nothing to break the streak of bad scarecrow flicks we’ve had for the past thirty years, and insists that you be completely brain dead to not notice the gaping plot holes that drive the story forward.”
You can read both reviews in their entirety by clicking the titles above. Don’t forget to check back this weekend to write your own.
