Magic Man: First Preview

In the serial killer thriller "Magic Man," Tatiana (Estelle Raskin) and her beautiful girlfriends are on holiday in Las Vegas, City of Illusion. The daughter of a magician's assistant killed tragically during an illusion gone wrong, Tatiana is drawn to Krell Darius' (Billy Zane) extremely popular magic show. Entrancing audience members with the help of his beautiful assistant Samantha (Bai Ling), Darius' charm, wit and magical talent prove difficult for Tatiana to resist. But as she becomes enraptured by Darius, it becomes clear that he may know something about her mother's death, and that it was not an accident. As Tatiana digs deeper into what Darius may or may not know, events take a sinister turn. One by one, Tatiana's friends are found brutally murdered. Fearing Tatiana might be next, Las Vegas police detectives Simpson (Robert Davi) and Orloff (Alexander Nevsky), along with Chief Taper (Armand Assante), seek answers from Darius and Samantha.

Altitude: First Preview

"Altitude" is being directed by Kaare Andrews and stars the gorgeous Jessica Lowndes (The Haunting of Molly Hartley, Autopsy). In the film, lost in a mysterious cloudbank, a rookie pilot and her four teenage friends must contend with a freak mechanical failure that first sends their small plane climbing to an impossible height, and then plummeting through endless mist. After regaining control, the survivors are confronted with a horrifying realization - the very ground beneath them has vanished and a malevolent force lurking in the clouds wants them dead.

The film marks the directorial debut of award-winning comic writer and artist Kaare Andrews, and if the rest of the cast is as good as Lowndes, we could be in for something good here.
