From producer Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and director Neill Blomkamp comes a startlingly original science fiction thriller that “soars on the imagination of its creators” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). With stunning special effects and gritty realism, the film plunges us into a world where the aliens have landed… only to be exiled to a slum on the fringes of Johannesburg. Now, one lone human discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology. Hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he will discover what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet.

But when they set up the system inside an abandoned prison used for the torture of post-9/11 prisoners, they discover that someone – or something – has uploaded itself into their A.I. software. A deadly new player has now joined the game: How do you survive the final level of lock-and-load virtual reality when escape is impossible, slaughter is uncontrollable and the enemy is unstoppable? The ultimate battle begins inside the GHOST MACHINE.

A FOUR COURSE MEAL
Rated: Not Rated
Starring Haley Ramm, Laura Bailey, Ilram Choi, Grant James, Mojo Nixon
Directed by Clay Liford
Run Time: 92 minutes
An ancient demon hides out in a death row prison, feeding on the condemned men who will not be missed. In a fairy-tale vision of Russia, a brutish Ogre becomes the guardian of orphaned children destined to be devoured by a trio of ghostly women living deep in the woods. A lowley data-entry clerk finds his job threatened by his company’s new affirmative action policy. One that attempts to properly incorporate the workforce’s new members. The Living Dead! Death may be the end, but its also a great way to get promoted.
These are simply the main dishes that make up A Four Course Meal, a horror-comedy-anthology about the tasty nature of cannibalism.
