Echo Chamber - 273 - Part One
This week we go LARGE as EchoChamberFP goes triple the fun!!!
In 'Part ONE', we have two different types of horror from Netflix, we jump back to check out Atomic Monster, Universal Pictures & Blumhouse creepy doll. There's a holiday sequel from Hulu & Disney+. AND we end on a thriller from RLJE Films, Hammerstone Studios & Signature Entertainment.
'Killer Book Club (El club de los lectores criminales)' is directed by Carlos Alonso Ojea and written by Carlos García Miranda. Eight horror-loving friends fight for their lives when a killer clown who seems to know the grim secret they share begins to pick them off, one by one.
'Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead' is directed by Yûsuke Ishida and written by Tatsuro Mishima and based on a manga series from Haro Aso & Kotaro Takata. Akira (Eiji Akaso) is bullied by his boss (Kazuki Kitamura), worked around the clock, he's nothing more than a corporate drone. All it takes is a zombie outbreak for him to finally feel alive.
'M3GAN' is directed by Gerard Johnstone and written by Akela Cooper. A brilliant toy company roboticist (Allison Williams) uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN (Amie Donald, Jenna Davis), a life-like doll programmed to emotionally bond with her newly orphaned niece (Violet McGraw). But when the doll’s programming works too well, she becomes overprotective of her new friend with terrifying results.
'Vacation Friends 2' is written & directed by Clay Tarver. After bonding on their first trip, Marcus (Lil Rel Howery) and Emily (Yvonne Orji) invite Ron (John Cena), Kyla (Meredith Hagner) and Maurillio (Carlos Santos) on an all-expenses-paid trip to a Caribbean resort. But Kyla’s father Reese (Steve Buscemi) turning up is just the beginning of the unraveling!
'Sympathy for the Devil' is directed by Yuval Adler and written by Luke Paradise. After being forced to drive a mysterious passenger (Nicolas Cage) at gunpoint, a man (Joel Kinnaman) finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems.
