Super 8


In the fictional town of Lillian, Ohio, early 1979, a factory worker at the local steel mill changes the number of days since the last accident from 784 days to 1 day. Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney), a 13-year-old boy living in town lost his mother, who had died in the accident referred in the beginning at the mill. Joe sits on a swing set, after the funeral, holding his mother's locket which contains a picture of her holding him as an infant. Louis Dainard (Ron Eldard) drives up to Joe's house disheveled as he makes his way up the driveway, looking Joe in the eye just before entering the house. After a brief moment, the sound of yelling and dishes breaking are heard from within. The front door slams open with Joe's father shoving Dainard down the steps in handcuffs. Placing Dainard in the back seat of his patrol vehicle, Joe's father pauses to look at his son. Visibly upset, he tells Joe to stay put and he will return later. Later in the movie Alice, Dainard's daughter,(Elle Fanning), reveals that her father, an alcoholic, had been drinking the morning of the accident. Since Joe's mother was a kind woman, willing to see the best in everyone and didn't want Louis to be fired, she stayed to cover his shift that day. Unfortunately, doing so resulted in her being fatally crushed by a steel beam.

Four months later, as summer break begins, Alice, even though she has no driver's license, uses her father's car to take Joe and his friends Charles (Riley Griffiths), Preston (Zach Mills), Martin (Gabriel Basso), and Carey (Ryan Lee) to an old train depot. The group is shooting a scene there for Charles' low budget zombie movie on Super 8 film. During the shoot, Joe witnesses a pick-up truck drive onto the tracks towards an oncoming train, which causes a massive derailment. Recovering from the accident, the kids find the wreck littered with strange silver cubes. The kids approach the truck and discover Dr. Woodward (Glynn Turman), their biology teacher, behind the wheel of the truck. He instructs them to never talk about what they saw - otherwise they and their parents will be killed.

Soon, the U.S. Air Force arrives to secure the crash site while the kids flee. However, the commanding officer, Colonel Nelec (Noah Emmerich), finds one of the used Super 8 film boxes that the kids left behind and suspects that Dr. Woodward had someone there to film the derailment. Later Nelec, who seems to know Dr. Woodward, questions him about his research about the creature. When Woodward refuses to cooperate, Nelec has him killed by lethal injection.

Joe and Charles reviews some of their clips they captured on the night and discover that there was something inhuman escaping from the derailed train.

After days of strange phenomena (pets running away, kitchen appliances, car engines, and power lines disappearing; people being abducted), the Air Force commences "Operation Walking Distance" and deliberately starts a wildfire outside of town. This gives them a pretense to evacuate the entire town to the local Air Force base. At the base, Joe runs into Louis, who tells him that a creature abducted his daughter, Alice.

The kids convince the film store clerk, as part of a deal to introduce him to Charles' sister, to drive them back to their school. They break into Woodward's stash of confiscated items, thinking he may have hidden in the stash documentation about his research and clues about the creature that might help them save Alice. In the papers, film, and audio recordings they find, they discover that the government imprisoned an extraterrestrial that crashed on Earth in 1958. The alien only wished to rebuild its ship and return home, but was instead imprisoned and tortured by the Air Force in order to learn from the creature's advanced technology and intellect. One film shows Woodward, a researcher at the time, being attacked by the alien. This physical contact caused him to form a telepathic bond with the creature, through which he learned that the creature only wanted to go home and that everyone would pay dearly for keeping the creature captive and torturing it. By colliding with the train, he hoped to free the creature.

Joe's father, Jackson (Kyle Chandler) makes his way to the air base frustrated by the lack of answers he's receiving about the unexplained incidents in his town. He arrives expecting to meet with Nelec, but is placed under military arrest. While imprisoned, he subdues one of the airmen. Putting on the airman's uniform, and later firing at a propane truck to create a distraction, he slips away from the base and heads to the evacuation site.

Colonel Nelec and his men storm the school and capture Joe, Carey, Charles, and Martin as they work their way through Woodward's stash of files. Upon searching the youngsters, one of the men takes the locket containing the photo of Joe's mother. The airmen, including Nelec, place the children on a security bus and head back to the Air Force base. On the way, the creature attacks them and flips the bus on its side. Nelec's men are killed while Joe and his friends escape by breaking through the vehicle's glass windows. The creature kills Nelec after a brief stand-off, biting his head off. After the carnage is over, Joe recovers his mother's locket from the body of the airman who took it, once again finding solace in the sense of safety it provides him.

The kids head through the town, which is now under heavy fire as the military battles the creature. They enter one of the abandoned houses and are hit by an explosion which leaves Martin injured. Charles stays behind to look after Martin while Joe and Carey go on to save Alice.

Joe finds the creature's subterranean lair near the cemetery where his mother is buried, along with dozens of missing people who have been trapped there by the creature. In the lair they discover that the creature was using the town's missing electronics to create a large magnet, using the town's water tower as the magnet itself. Joe manages to rescue Alice by having Carey use his fireworks as a distraction. They also rescue the town's sheriff and another woman, who had previously been reported missing. As they make their escape, the creature recaptures the sheriff and the woman.

When the creature grabs Joe, he tells the creature: "Bad things happen, and it's no one's fault…I'm sorry." The creature, due to its telepathic ability through touch, understands and lets go of Joe, allowing him and his friends to escape. Shortly after, all the missing metal reappears, as a ship begins to take form around the town's water tower. Joe's necklace, left by his mother as a keepsake to him after her death, is also sucked upwards and, after a moment, he decides to let it go. The movie ends with the star ship blasting off towards the creature's home planet while Joe and Alice hold hands.

While the end credits play, the movie that Charles and his friends were working on (The Case) is shown.

Caprica

Caprica differs significantly from its parent series, due to creative and commercial demands.[3] Ronald D. Moore had strong feelings on the matter, explaining his starting point was, "...you don't try to repeat the formula," and going on to say, "...everything about Caprica was designed specifically to not repeat what we had done in Galactica."[4] Although a critical success, Galactica had a predominantly male audience, and both Moore and the network felt the "war in space" backdrop was a major deterrent to female viewers.[5] With these considerations and Caprica's storyline already focused on events taking place before the two Cylon Wars, the series has a different identity, with its own tone, content, and style. While Caprica contains references that have added significance to previous Battlestar viewers, the series is intended to be accessible to new fans, and no prior knowledge of the other series is needed.[6]

No Ordinary Family

The Powells are your average American family with everyday problems. Well, that is until their plane crashes in the Amazon jungle. That's when things start to get interesting. On Tuesday, September 28, this family will go from ordinary to extraordinary!

The Event

Near the end of World War II, an aircraft of undetermined origin crashed in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska. It carried passengers who appeared outwardly human but are not of terrestrial origin. They have some genetic differences and age much more slowly than humans. Most of the survivors were captured by the U.S. government and held in a secret facility nearby run by intelligence agencies, since they have refused to disclose much about their origin. The remaining survivors, who only sustained minor injuries, were able to escape the crash scene and currently live among the population.
President Elias Martinez learns of the facility's existence shortly after his inauguration and decides, after meeting the leader of the detainees, to release them and disclose their existence to the world over the objections of the intelligence agencies. His plans are put on hold when an assassination attempt on him is foiled by means beyond human technology. The CIA, realizing that this means there are other aliens, secretly plans to find and kill them. The agent chosen to head the effort is himself an alien and that fact is unknown to the agency. The aliens are divided internally on how to respond to this.
Caught in the middle of these events is Sean Walker, whose plans to propose to his girlfriend Leila on a Caribbean cruise are cut short when she mysteriously disappears from the ship. His investigation eventually leads him to uncover the assassination plot.

My Soul To Take

According to legend, a serial killer The Ripper will return to the quaint town of Riverton[4] to murder the seven children that were born the night he allegedly died. Sixteen years after his death, members of the community begin to disappear. All the teens know the Ripper to be dead, but they hold the belief that his soul may have reincarnated into one of their bodies, forcing them to discover who among them may be the killer. Only one of the teenagers knows the answer. Adam "Bug" Hellerman was supposed to die on the bloody night his father went insane. Unaware of his father's terrifying crimes, Bug has been plagued by nightmares since he was a baby. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the Ripper, he must face an evil that will not rest.

Case 39

Social worker Emily Jenkins (Renée Zellweger) is assigned to investigate the family of 10-year-old Lillith Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland), as her grades have declined and an emotional rift with her parents has emerged. Emily suspects that the parents have been abusing Lillith, and proposes to her department to take the child away from her parents' custody. Emily's fears are confirmed when Lillith's parents try to kill her by roasting her in the oven at their home. Emily saves Lillith with the help of Detective Mike Barron (Ian McShane). Lillith is originally sent to a children's home but she begs Emily to look after her instead. With the agreement of the board, Emily is assigned to take care of Lillith until a suitable foster family comes along. In the meantime, Lillith's parents (Callum Keith Rennie and Kerry O'Malley) are placed in a mental institution.
Not too long after Lillith moves in, strange things begin to happen around Emily. Two weeks later another of Jenkins's cases, a boy named Diego (Alexander Conti), suddenly murders his parents, and Barron informs Emily that somebody phoned Diego from her house the night before the crime. As she is suspected of involvement in the incident, Lillith undergoes a psychiatric evaluation by Emily's best friend, Douglas J. Ames (Bradley Cooper). During the session, however, Lillith turns the evaluation around, asking Douglas what his fears are and subtly threatening him. That night while studying he receives a strange phone call in his apartment, Douglas is panicked by the sight of a mass of hornets coming out of his body and kills himself in his bathroom.
Emily gradually becomes fearful of having Lillith in her home, so she heads to the mental asylum for answers from Lillith's parents. They tell her that Lillith is a demon who feeds on feelings, and that they tried to kill her in an attempt to save themselves. Lillith's father tells Emily that the only way to kill Lillith is to get her to sleep. Shortly after Emily leaves the asylum, both parents die in unusual circumstances. Lillith's mother is fatally burnt and her father is stabbed with a fork.
Barron initially thinks Emily should seek psychiatric help, but is later convinced when he receives a strange phone call in his home from Emily's cellphone, which is being used by Lillith. He arms himself at the police precinct to aid Emily in handling Lillith. However, he inadvertently shoots himself when Lillith makes him imagine he is being attacked by dogs. That night, Emily has Lillith drink tea spiked with sedative. While Lillith is asleep, Emily sets fire to her house, hoping to get rid of her. However, the girl escapes unharmed from the burning house.
The police offer to escort Emily and Lillith to a temporary place to sleep. As Emily is following the police cars, she suddenly takes a different route and drives her car at a high speed, hoping to bring fear to Lillith. She then drives the car off a pier. As the car sinks, Emily struggles to lock Lillith (now in the form of her demon self) in the trunk by folding the rear seats against her. Emily then exits the car, but as she swims away, Lillith grabs her leg after punching a hole through the car's left tail light section. Emily struggles to break free until Lillith finally lets go as the car continues to sink. She climbs back ashore, relieved to be rid of Lillith.

Let Me In (film)

In 1983 in Los Alamos, New Mexico, an ambulance is being escorted by the police to a hospital. An unidentifiable and mute man is in a hospital room being guarded by a police officer. A police detective enters the hospital and visits the suspect, tells him that he will catch whoever else is in league with him, but is then called out to the reception area by a nurse to take a phone call. While he is on the phone, a scream is heard from the suspect's room, and when the detective returns he sees that the suspect has fallen out of the window several stories to his death. Before doing so, the man scribbles a note reading, "I'm Sorry Abby."
Flashback to two weeks earlier, Owen is a very unhappy and lonely 12-year-old child, who is neglected by his divorcing parents (who no longer live together) and continually harassed by bullies at his school. While peering at neighbors from his bedroom window with a telescope, he notices a girl named Abby and a man who appears to be her father moving in next door. Abby reluctantly becomes Owen's friend after telling him that they can't be friends, but won't tell him why. Abby and Owen grow closer and closer, hanging out late at night and developing feelings for one another. Abby claims and appears to be 12-years-old. During school Owen writes down the Morse code alphabet for he and Abby to use to communicate to each other through their walls. He encounters the bullies in the bathroom between classes, and Jimmy (the main bully) scars his face with an antenna rod he carries around with him. Owen meets Abby later that night and gives her and explains the system of Morse code. Abby then notices his band aid covering his cut and tells Owen he needs to hit back, and she will help him if needed. Owen scoffs and says that she's just a girl, but Abby assures him that she is stronger than she looks.
Meanwhile, Abby's Father/Protector periodically goes out at night to kill local residents so that he can bring their blood back to Abby, as blood is the only thing she can survive on. His first attempt is successful in getting a victim at a gas station, and stringing him upside down in the snowy woods, but when he is collecting the blood, his leg falls through thin ice and spills all the blood. In a panic from an oncoming car, he flees the scene, returning home to Abby with nothing. Abby, furious that he returns empty handed, goes outside and tricks a neighbor jogging by pretending to be hurt and kills him for blood. She quickly snaps his neck after biting him. On the other hand, Abby continues developing her emotional relationship with Owen by using his Morse code to communicate with him by tapping on the wall from her apartment: we see that Abby rudely tells her Protector to get out of the living room and leave her alone, so that she can use the wall to send the coded messages to Owen in privacy. The Father/Protector meekly cooperates and goes to another room, and we see that Abby has considerable power over her Protector and that she can be demanding. At some point, the Father/Protector asks Abby to stop talking to Owen, and his behavior reveals signs of jealousy that they may have more of a relationship than fully expained, but Abby gently touches his face, alleviating his fears of abandonment, but not expressly telling him that she will not see Owen anymore. He Acts taken aback by this, slamming his tools into his bag. One night The Protector goes out and picks a car at the local high school that he can hide in until the owner returns, although when the owner returns a friend is with him which complicates matters. They stop at a gas station and when the passenger notices The Protector in the backseat, the passenger is attacked and killed, but not before The Protector attempts to drive away and rolls down an embankment on the side of the road. Fearing that his identity will be discovered, The Protector douses his face with acid so that his connection to Abby will not be discovered by the police. The Protector is taken to the hospital with a police officer posted outside his room, and when Abby hears on the news that he is there, she goes to visit him by climbing up the side of the hospital wall outside his window. Abby is stricken with grief over what happened to The Protector and to put him out of his misery, Abby kills him by sucking his blood after The Protector implores her to do so, and he falls out the window to his death.
Abby is traumatized and confused by the loss of her Protector. She goes to Owens bedroom window and while he is asleep, she asks him if she can come in. Owen allows her into his room, and he asks her to go steady and be his girlfriend. She rejects him first, but when Owen tells her that nothing will change between them, she accepts. As the friendship between the Owen and Abby deepens, the police detective gradually learns of The Protector's past and how his connection to Abby. The next day on a field trip at school, Owen stands up to Jimmy and hits him with a pole in the head, splitting his ear badly. When Owen tells Abby about his encounter that night, Abby leans down and kisses him lightly on the cheek. He then takes her down to an abandoned area of the complex as a surprise. Owen is certain the adults have no idea about it. He wants to surprise her and implores that she closes her eyes, he cuts his finger to make a blood pact with her. Abby is taken aback by the blood falling to the ground from his finger and drops to the ground to lick up his blood. She looks up and Owen is able to see her true vampiric face, not wanting to attack Owen. Abby runs from Owen and attacks a woman in the complex park named Virginia. Abby bites Virginia's neck and tries to drink her blood, but shes pushed and chased off by Virginia's boyfriend, Larry.
Owen comes to terms that Abby is a vampire, and still likes her the same, as she is able to provide the affection he could not find in the human society. He goes to her apartment and stays the night there. As Owen looks through Abby's belongings, it becomes clear from the ancient photos that the middle-aged man who was protecting her was not her father, but that many years ago, he once was a young man who became her friend. At the hospital the next morning, the police detective learns from Larry that the girl who attacked Virginia in the complex matches the description of Abby. A few seconds later, Virginia, unaware she is a vampire now, begins to feed on the Blood in her arm from her IV. She bursts into flames when a nurse opens the blinds in the morning daylight, burning them both alive. The police detective heads to The Protector's and Abby's apartment and busts down the door, unaware that Owen is there. The police detective finds Abby in the bathroom and tries to shine the daylight to see, but Owen stops him and gets his attention. Abby then awakens and kills the police detective in the bathroom, he reaches his hand out to Owen for help but Owen simply closes the door in shock. Abby afterward embraces Owen softly, and he leans into her hold. She lightly kisses him on the lips. Abby tells Owen she needs to leave the town and start over somewhere else. Owen is devastated at the loss of her and cries looking out the window periodically, after watching her enter a cab and pull away.
At school during gym class, Owen's teacher tells Owen he will be swimming that day, and is shown to tutor Owen how to breathe properly while swimming. Jimmy, his friends, and his older brother, start a fire outside to distract the teacher. Once the teacher is gone, the bullies turn out the lights and clear out the swimming pool. Owen realizes what is happening, and runs to his locker. He pulls out a very small knife, which he uses to defend himself against the bullies, but it doesn't work. Jimmy proceeds to threaten Owens' life. The boy tells Owen that if he can survive underwater for three minutes, then all he'll do is to cut Owen's cheek, if he can't, then Owen will have one of his eyes cut out. Owen is held underwater by Jimmy's brother and struggles to hold his breath. A minute goes by and Jimmy believes Owen has learned his lesson, and encourages his brother to stop, but is pushed back by his brother. This time Owen is facing death by drowning, but he notices something happening above the water, when suddenly blood starts to fill the pool, followed by screams and the head of Jimmy's brother. Owen pulls himself to the surface and sees blood and body parts of the bullies thrown around the pool: Abby has returned to save him as she promised.
Sometime later, Owen is on a train, getting his ticket punched. The ticket checker looks down at Owen's feet and notices a large chest and asks if it is his. Owen replies it is and the man moves on. Then from the chest comes k-i-s-s tapped out in Morse Code, which Owen gently taps back.

Devil (Film)

The film begins with a worker committing suicide by jumping from a building. The scene is narrated by Ramirez (Jacob Vargas) who mentions that his mother told him stories of the Devil roaming the earth, and it always begins with a suicide. Detective Bowden (Chris Messina) is called to the scene to aid in the investigation. Bowden is a recovering alcoholic devastated by the death of his wife and child in a hit-and-run accident by a driver who was never caught. As this is happening, five strangers, who have committed various crimes in the past, step onto an elevator located within the same building where the suicide has taken place.
The five strangers are Ben (Bokeem Woodbine), a temp security guard with a violent past; an elderly woman (Jenny O'Hara) who is a kleptomaniac; Vince (Geoffrey Arend), a mattress salesman who moonlights as a con artist; Tony (Logan Marshall-Green), a former mechanic who served in the U.S. marine corps during the War in Afghanistan who is now seeking employment within the building; and Sarah (Bojana Novakovic), a blackmailing gold-digger meeting with her lawyer in the building.
Strange things start to occur beginning with the elevator becoming stuck between floors. Then, after the lights go out, Sarah is inexplicably wounded on her back. The remaining occupants of the elevator quickly begin to suspect Vince of having committed the assault. Slowly, one by one, the five strangers start to die. First, Vince is killed by a shard of glass from a mirror which slices his jugular vein. Detective Bowden, sensing a connection between this and the man who earlier committed suicide in the same building, is compelled to further investigate. Checking the building's guest log, Bowden finds that only four people have missed their scheduled appointments that day: Sarah, Vince, Ben, and “Janecowski”. Investigators misinterpret the latter as “Jane Cowski” and assume it to be the old woman’s name, leaving Bowden suspicious of Tony who appears to be the only undocumented occupant.
With the help of the building’s security team, Bowden examines security footage and discovers that the old woman had stolen a wallet prior to entering the elevator. The office building's repairman is sent down the elevator shaft to fix it, but plummets to his death. During a power outage, the old woman is found hung by the neck from an electrical cord. Sarah and Ben turn on Tony, while Bowden begins to suspect that Sarah's husband has hired Ben to kill her. A security guard inspects the basement and electrocutes himself attempting to secure a hot fallen wire. The lights go out again and Ben is dead with his neck completely twisted around. Each thinking the other must be responsible for the murders, Tony and Sarah prepare to fight each other with broken glass, but Bowden seemingly manages to calm them. As Sarah prepares to take out a shard of glass hidden in her back pocket, the lights once again go out and her throat is slashed. The mystery seems solved, when a tattooed woman arrives and informs Bowden that Tony is her fiance, and was at the building for a job interview. Only then is his full name revealed to be Tony Janecowski.
The old woman suddenly rises and appears behind Tony. It is now apparent that she is the Devil who has taken a human form. Having dispensed of the others, the Devil tells Tony it's his turn to die. Detective Bowden watches through the CCTV as Tony confesses to killing two people in a drunken hit-and-run accident. Tony had been trying to grab another beer while driving and had not seen where he was going. Tony says "I'm so sorry," and Bowden had a car wash coupon that says "I'm so sorry" on the back. At which point the Devil is forced to spare him (as he confessed his sin and apologized for it) and disappears as the firemen finish breaking into the elevator. Detective Bowden realizes Tony is the one who killed his wife and son, but expresses his forgiveness en route to the police station following his arrest.
The film ends with Ramirez telling the audience that his mother always reassured him at the end of her stories, "If the Devil is real, God must also be real."
