The month of June has been flying by quicker than I can even believe, as we’re already a week out from the end of the 2017 Dances With Films festival, which took over the historic Chinese Theater in Los Angeles earlier this month. During Dwf, I had the opportunity to catch several intriguing genre films, including Devil’s Whisper, Inheritance, Imitation Girl, and Central Park, and here’s a summary of my thoughts on these four flicks:

Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with Savage earlier this week, and he discussed the inspirations behind his story, collaborating with his stellar ensemble, and more.

I love any movie that pulls the layers back a little bit, and slowly reveals its hand. Obviously, family is the core theme to this movie, but I would love to hear about what inspired your approach. It's a really fascinating look into the things that bind us to these really horrific tragedies.
Tyler Savage: Well,...
