Reviews
  • TheActionElite.com: One of the year’s best action movies with memorable characters, explosive action scenes and brisk pacing that never lets up.
  • Actionreloaded.com: A must-watch for fans of adrenaline-fueled action films. With its powerhouse performances, expert direction, and a gripping storyline, this movie is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
  • Movieweb.com: A deeply engaging character driven story that will have audiences on the edge of their seat. The Channel is bolstered by powerful performances throughout, resulting in an action-packed, bank heist movie thriller, and is not to miss.
  • Thehollywoodoutsider.com: Through blood, violence, and probably more than 3.000 rounds of ammunition per person, The Channel takes the traditional heist formula to another level: fully automatic guns, sulfuric acid, heart-pounding action sequences that last 5-10 minutes, and a blend of family drama. This mission is a non-stop, exhilarating thrill ride.
  • Amovieguy.com: The Channel is an intense and non-stop piece of action, continuing to remind us that when a heist movie is done right, there is nothing else like it.
  • Spectrumculture.com: Kaufman drops the audience directly into a heavily-armed bank robbery and spends the next near half-hour showing why he’s the DTV king of tactical action.
  • Hmuncut.com: high-octane action and impressive display of firepower.
  • Trueviewreviews.com: The action sequences are excellent. There is outstanding choreography, and the military dialogue sounds on point.
  • Voicesfromthebalcony.com: The Channel is the kind of film that deserves to have been picked up by a company like Lionsgate and given the theatrical/digital/hard copy release they give the half-assed thrillers they seem to specialize in these days.

Daylight's End

Actie
Beschikbaar voor VOD: 23 september 2016
Regie: William Kaufman
Cast: Johnny Strong (The Fast and the Furious, Black Hawk Down, Sinners and Saints), Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Millennium), Louis Mandylor (My Big Fat Greek Wedding 1 & 2, One in the Chamber), Chelsea Edmundson (Gangster Squad)

De zon is giftig, het landschap dood. Drie jaar nadat een pandemie het gros van de mensheid in bloeddorstige kannibalen veranderde, gaat eenzame wolf Thomas Rourke (Johnny Strong - The Fast and the Furious, Sinners and Saints) op zoek naar The Alpha (MMA-ster Krzysztof Soszynski), het vampirische monster dat zijn vrouw en ongeboren kind vermoordde. Wanneer hij onderweg een jonge vrouw redt, dwingt zijn knagende geweten hem haar in veiligheid te brengen. Maar zo leidt hij ook een horde zonneschuwe menseneters naar de geheime schuilplaats van haar gemeenschap, aangevoerd door Frank Hill (Lance Henriksen - Aliens, Millennium). Om de rest een overlevingskans te bieden, moet een kleine groep zich opofferen om The Alpha in zijn hol op te zoeken en uit te schakelen...

William Kaufman (One in the Chamber) levert met Daylight's End een wurgende, postapocalyptische actiethriller af met schitterend gechoreografeerde vuurgevechten en toepasselijke desolate visuals. Kenners zullen de knipogen naar het werk van John Carpenter en genreklassiekers als The Omega Man, Assault on Precinct 13 en The Road Warrior zeker weten te waarderen.

Reviews
  • 28dayslateranalysis.com: Daylight's End and the creators know what their strong points are: action sequences and terrifying scenarios. Consistently uptempo and full of great musical selections, the film creates a compelling and thrilling atmosphere. And, this viewer will be first in line, when the film is released in home entertainment formats; this tense film is not to be missed.
  • Joblo.com: Daylight's End is an exceptionally well made film. The budget was relatively low, but that isn't felt in the film, which appears to play out on an epic scale, with its convincing shots of deserted disaster areas and abundance of action and gunfire. Kaufman knows action, that's the genre he has primarily been working in up to this point, and he used that knowledge to make the action sequences in this film as cool and thrilling as possible.
  • Mikefury.net: One of the most striking elements of the film are the visuals. Kaufman has built a reputation creating slick, cinematic and equally gritty character-driven action with a definite air of coolness. This is made much easier when the star is Johnny Strong, who has to be one of the most underrated leading men in movies today. So for true action fans, horror buffs or anyone who still loves an authentic, exciting movie experience by great artists, Daylight's End is a real blast.
  • Theactionelite.com: The movie is action-packed with plenty of violence and some cool weapons too so if you get to see the movie make sure you've got the sound turned up to 11 for maximum impact. Daylight's End brings the action goods with a badass hero in Johnny Strong, fast pacing and an unconventional script.
  • Truthoncinema.com: Pure Adrenaline and Carnage. This film sets a standard for indie projects with vision larger than their budgets. It rolls hard and fast and pays the consequences for that choice, but ultimately walks away a winner; combining the action-oriented sensibilities of Resident Evil with the world-building prowess of I Am Legend. A worthy edition to the ranks of apocalyptic thrillers, Daylight's End is sure for a cult following if not mainstream success.
  • Screenanarchy.com: One of the best things about this film is the action. The gun battles are meticulously choreographed and made with precision. The tactics are sound and the filmmakers have a clear familiarity with the weapons used. The fights are visceral and feel real, making them much more exciting than most of the CGI-laden films that regularly hit our screens these days.
