In the feature documentary FROM THE GROUND UP, former meat-eating college football player Santino Panico goes on a journey to rediscover the athlete within--this time, as a vegan. As he meets with vegetarian and vegan elite competitors, this story about food and sport expands to confront the. All Critics. "From the Ground Up" isn't well organized, and its structural and editing issues are what keeps it from being a more compelling film that could win over those outside its subject.
How does the portrayal of the serial killer in this movie differ from other movie serial killers, like, say, Hannibal Lecter? British and Irish horror has a rich and compelling heritage, from the iconic work of Hammer through to more recent efforts like Corin Hardy's The Hallow World premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, the latest entry in the field of Irish horror is The Hole in the Ground from debut feature director Lee.

In this true story, a police officer responds to a distress call from a motel one night and finds an almost hysterical Cindy cowering in a bathroom, handcuffed and bleeding. The frustrating horror film "The Hole in the Ground" opens with Sarah (Seána Kerslake) driving her elementary-school-age son, Chris (James Quinn Markey) Soon, Sarah notices changes in Chris. He disappears from his bed at night; he buries beloved toys in the woods. Chris is rarely less than polite.
