Opens Friday, Aug 19, 2011 Synopsis: Join documentary filmmaker Jeff Warrick as he takes an illuminating look at subliminal advertising in mass media and explores its potential effects on our collective consciousness. Some researchers claim that since the 1950s, Hollywood filmmakers and television producers have been barraging the general public with suggestive imagery that -- while often too subtle to be noticed by the naked eye -- may have the power to sway our opinions, fuel bad habits, and even alter the very foundation of our personalities. Others claim that the "War on Terror" itself -- with its convenient color-coded threat indicators -- is a sweeping, subliminal campaign to ramp up paranoia and fear both at home in the U.S. and abroad. Even such rock & roll bands and musicians as Judas Priest and Led Zeppelin have stood accused of using backward masking in music to drive teens to suicide or to commit other reprehensible acts. Is there any truth to these bold, sometimes shocking, accusations? In-depth conversations with media experts and others aim to get us thinking about the array of images that we see on a daily basis -- and their true purpose. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Movie Details Movie Review

Now Playing Synopsis: A team of phony paranormal investigators has their skepticism put to the test in this mockumentary-style horror opus. Collingwood is a mental institution in Maryland that has been closed for more than half a century. Local legend had it that the hospital is haunted, and the former caretaker (Bob Rathie) and a number of folks who live nearby claim that they've seen and heard signs of paranormal disturbances in the night. Jerry Hartfeld (Ben Wilkinson) is a television producer specializing in reality shows who arranges for a team of basic cable ghost hunters, led by host Lance Preston (Sean Rogerson), to shoot an episode of their show Grave Encounters at Collingwood. It doesn't take long for Preston and his crew to tip their hands as fakes who are happy to stage phony interviews and set up special effects "disturbances" for the cameras. But they discover Collingwood really is home to forces beyond their understanding, and they're in very real danger as the night wears on. The first feature film from the writing and directing team of Colin Minihan and Stuart Ortiz (aka The Vicious Brothers), Grave Encounters was an official selection at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Cast: Sean Rogerson, Ben Wilkinson, Juan Riedinger, Ashleigh Gryzko, Mackenzie Gray, Arthur Corber, Michele Cummins, Luis Javier Movie Details Play Trailer Movie Review
