Two couples will head to the altar in the Love Is Blind Season 5 season finale. Will either walk away married? We’ll find out when the episode drops Oct. 13 on Netflix. But what we’re really waiting for is the season 5 reunion, when the Houston cast comes together to rehash all of this season’s juicy drama.

Love Is Blind contestant Tran Dang has hit production companies Kinetic Content and Delirium TV with a sexual assault, false imprisonment and negligence lawsuit, claims the companies and the show’s creator are pushing back against.
Claiming she was “aggressively recruited” to appear on the hit Netflix reality series and “intentionally sequestered for two weeks” in the show’s pods by producers, Dang’s complaint alleges she was attacked by her then on-screen fiancé Thomas Smith on May 3, 2022 while in Mexico shooting Love Is Blind’s fifth season. The filing from Houston law firm Wallace & Allen Llp details that “due to Delirium TV and Kinetic Content’s 24-hour surveillance of Plaintiff and Defendant Smith, most if not all of these traumatic acts were filmed by the production crew and within their knowledge.”

Despite getting engaged on “Love Is Blind” Season 5, there’s a reason Tran Dang and her former fiancé Thomas Smith do not appear in the Netflix series: Dang is suing the dating reality series’ production companies Kinetic Content and Delirium TV, citing sexual assault, false imprisonment and negligence.
In a joint statement received by TheWrap, both companies stated, “We support and stand with victims of sexual assault, but Ms. Dang’s claims against the producers are meritless.”
“We document the independent choices of adults who volunteer to participate in a social experiment. Their journey is not scripted, nor is it filmed around the clock,” the statement read. “We have no knowledge or control over what occurs in private living spaces when not filming, and participants may choose to end their journey at any time.”
“We take any and all concerns of our participants seriously and prioritize their well-being,” they continued.

After Triangle of Sadness won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, writer-director Ruben Östlund ended his acceptance speech by leading the festival audience in a primal scream, just as he’d done a few years earlier when taking the top prize for The Square. The spectacle of Östlund, the ostensibly ruthless parodist of bourgeois mores, entreating this well-fed, black-tie crowd to vocalize some deep-seated rage as if he were a latter-day Howard Beale encapsulates both the pleasures and limitations of Östlund’s particular brand of caustic pasquinade.
All of which is to say that Triangle of Sadness appeals to precisely the same people it professes to deride. Episodic, fabulistic, and self-consciously outrageous, the film introduces us to one comically despicable capitalist after another—including oblivious aristocrats, insipid social media influencers, and self-justifying weapons manufacturers—before subjecting them to humiliation, mostly at the hands of the nonwhite proletariat they barely even deign to notice.

Director/writer: Thomas Smith.
Thomas Smith's The Night Shift is based on a 2009 short, of the same name (review here). Now, Smith has expanded the mythos of a graveyard full of undead and rotting residents to a full length feature film. Currently on the film festival circuit with a showing at the Stanley Hotel May 6th, The Night Shift is hard to classify in genre, but the film is full of campy fun. Rue Morgan (Khristian Fulmer), an obvious reference to Rue Morgue magazine, is in the center of the action, with werewolves, and undead Civil War relics threatening to oust him as cemetery caretaker. The two hours spent in the graveyard is mostly a tame time, with The Night Shift struggling to find some much needed pointy teeth.

Fighting Owl Films has released a new trailer for their independent feature film The Night Shift which will be complete within the next two weeks and is already in consideration for screening in several national and international film festivals. Dig on it here!
The Night Shift is a supernatural-adventure-comedy about Rue Morgan, the undead night watchman at Pinewood Oaks Cemetery. Rue, along with his buddy Herb, a limbless corpse, spends his nights trying to keep the cemetery’s cantankerous residents in and his days dreaming of a date with hard-nosed day-shifter Claire. It’s an okay afterlife until a scourge of supernatural occurrences leaves Rue not only watching the cemetery but also watching his back!

The indie film is like the blood that courses through the veins of the horror genre. Every big time horror personality started making little indie flicks (some of which have become classics) so that's why we pay them so much attention around these parts. You never know where the next Romero or Carpenter will come from. That being said, one flick we've been keeping an eye is is The Night Shift, and now that the movie has wrapped -- it's poster time!
