SECTOR 7 3D
Meet the Filmmaker
Synopsis
Something awaits 8,000 feet under the sea off the southern tip of Jeju Island.
The Eclipse is the offshore drilling rig stationed at Sector 7, a mining area in the vast open sea located off the southern tip of Jeju Island. The oil drilling excavations end in failure and headquarters gives the order to withdraw.
Captain Jeong-man is sent to oversee the crew's withdrawal from the Eclipse. However, Hae-jun, the equipment manager (played by Ha Ji-won), is adamantly opposed to the headquarters order, as she is certain that oil will be discovered in Sector 7. Motivated by Hae-jun's conviction of finding oil, the Captain suggests conducting one last drilling exercise.
While Hae-jun and the crew are fully engaged in their final attempt, they lose communication with headquarters, and the crew is overwhelmed by the disconcerting feeling that something is out there.
As bodies begin disappearing one by one, the few surviving need to think fast and fight for their lives in a non-stop battle against the mutant monster from the sea. Survival looks unlikely, but Hae-jun and the crew are determined to take any chance to get out of Sector 7 alive.

Julia X 3D
Meet the Filmmaker
Synopsis
Julia is branded X in this well-wrought generic thriller fleshed out in 3D. The depth is enhanced, as well, by a multi-dimensional plot with doses of cheeky humor and verbal panache, as well as in-your-face visual thrusts that make keen use of the format.
Azlynn's willowy and aptly wayward performance as Julia laces the film with sexuality and mania. As her date (and oddly enough, sado-soul mate), Kevin Sorbo is dead-on perverse: With his weathered Fabio-like look and affection for the songs of Karen Carpenter, he's a mesmeric nutcase. Completing the terrible threesome, Alicia Leigh Willis is Lolita-ish alluring as the twisted little sister.

Deadheads
Meet the Filmmaker
Synopsis
In a world of putrid zombie movies, DEADHEADS is a breath of fresh air, says horror icon Bruce Campbell about the debut feature from the sons of Bart Pierce, the special effects photographer on the classic EVIL DEAD. A return to 1980's style comedy-adventure movies like BACK TO THE FUTURE and THE GOONIES, the Pierce Brothers winning combo of gory horror action, smart humour and heartfelt emotion follows zombie slackers Mike and Brent as they travel across country to find the former's old girlfriend and love of his life. But will those nasty bounty-hunting agents with a secret agenda catch them before they do? As a zombieland Abbott and Costello, actors Michael McKiddy and Ross Kidder's chemistry and timing are superb. And you'll just love Markus Taylor as the lumbering Cheese in this Road Trip of the Living Dead that's hilarious and surprisingly sweet
