Episode 285: Fight Or Flight, Escape From the 21st Century, Die Alone, Bangkok Dog, Applewood, The Survivors, Puppet Master III

This week Steve is off on holiday so its left to Mike and Rich to tackle five new releases - as always, click the link to see the trailer for each: We kick off with FIGHT OR FLIGHT (Sky), starring Josh Hartnett as a former agent brought back to find a hacker, and then must protect them from wave after wave of assassins! Next is ESCAPE FROM THE 21st CENTURY (Signature Entertainment) - a mind-melting visual experience in which three teen friends find they can jump forward into their adult bodies, 20 years in the future! DIE ALONE (Lightbulb Film Distribution) is a post-apocalyptic thriller in which a man with amnesia tries to search for his missing girlfriend... BANGKOK DOG (High Fliers) is another pairing of D.Y. Sao and Brian Le, who appeared together in Shadow Master. This is a more conventional martial arts thriller and proof that these guys are top of their game. APPLEWOOD sticks out from the pack as the only non-action movie of the week: This is a more low key, supernatural tale about a  recently widowed woman buying a notorious mansion and needing to get to grips with its dramatic history.   Our Short Shot is from the Kirby Brothers (k & K Productions), who helmed the excellent Accident Man 2: Hitman's Holiday, and some other shorts we've enjoyed. Check out THE SURVIVORS - a zombie chase movie! Our DTV Throwback is PUPPET MASTER III: TOULON'S REVENGE, which can be found on Amazon Prime - as well as the other Puppet Master films!
