The Old Oak - BLU-RAY

The final film from British master Ken Loach (Sorry We Missed You, Kes), The Old Oak is a deeply moving drama about loss, fear, and the difficulty of finding hope. The Old Oak is the last pub standing in a once thriving mining village in northern England, a gathering space for a community that has fallen on hard times. There is growing anger, resentment, and a lack of hope among the residents, but the pub and it's proprietor TJ are a fond presence to their customers. When a group of Syrian refugees move into the floundering village, a decisive rift fueled by prejudices develops between the community and it's newest inhabitants. The formation of an unexpected friendship between TJ and a young Syrian woman named Yara opens up new possibilities for the divided village.

From the makers of the Last Exorcism comes a boldly original vision of horror THE FRANKENSTEIN THEORY. What if the most chilling novel of all time was actually based on a true account of a horrific experiment gone awry? When he is suspended from his university job for his outlandish ideas Professor John Venkenheim leads a documentary film crew to the rim of the Arctic Circle in a desperate effort to vindicate his academic reputation. His theory Mary Shelley's ghastly story Frankenstein is in fact a work of non-fiction disguised as fantasy. In the vast frozen wilderness Venkenheim and his team search for the legendary monster a creature mired in mystery and drenched in blood. What they find is an unspeakable truth more terrifying than any fiction a nightmare from which there is no waking.

Mia (Camille Sullivan) had been unable to move on in the dozen years since the party led by her paranormal podcaster kid sister Riley (Sarah Durn) ventured into the creepy abandoned town of Shelby Oaks... and Riley's weren't among the grisly remains that were found afterward. Tipped to a potential break in the case, she may regret the choice to check it out firsthand. Chris Stuckmann's reverential scarefest co-stars Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, Michael Beach, Robin Bartlett. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
