We chat to Jon Bernthal about his new film, Pilgrimage, as well as The Punisher, Daredevil and more...
Jon Bernthal is a very busy man. In 2017 alone he’s got seven projects listed and you’d be hard pressed not to catch at least one of them, with Pilgrimage just hitting the shelves, Baby Driver currently across cinema screens, and the rather exciting prospect of The Punisher series hitting Netflix in November.
In Pilgrimage Bernthal plays a mute, channelling his performance through an unspoken relationship with a young, naïve monk (Tom Holland) which gives the film its heart and drive, as they set off as part of a group to try and remove a sacred relic from harms’ way. The film is, for the most part, a tense game of cat and mouse with various threats closing in on them from all sides (including an especially nasty...

If you want a sense of what you’re in for viewing Irish director Brendan Muldowney’s third feature—the Tribeca-premiering Pilgrimage—you may want to look to his 2009 feature Savage as a guidepost. A visceral experience rife with violence, it’s interesting to note that for the director, this preoccupation with violence is entirely subconscious. “I would say that I'm more interested in existential sort of filmmaking questions about why we're here, and I suppose that's where…...

Savage, judging by the trailer, might be the most aptly named film to come along in quite a while. Take a look at this Irish psychological thriller and see if you don't agree!
Written and directed by Brendan Muldowney and starring Darren Healy and Nora-Jane Noone in a film that's already been compared to Taxi Driver, Savage looks to follow right in step with that Straw Dogs, man pushed too far motif. We're digging what we've seen so far.
Watch the trailer, and then check out the official Savage website and while you're at it, head over to the official Savage Facebook page and give them a like. This one looks like it has real potential to knock audiences on their asses!

Pretty much the comic book Oscars, the 2012 nominations for the Eisner awards have been announced. There is quite are large showing from Marvel in the superhero department, not so much from DC. Surprising, considering the company’s high profile New 52 relaunch. Save for Jeff Lemire’s nomination for Best Writer, most of DC’s nomination are pre-relaunch, or from their Vertigo imprint which has been left untouched by the New 52. The nominations are usually as controversial as the Oscars, with books and whole companies being left out, much to fans, sometimes, anger and confusion.
A full list of the nominations are below, courtesy of Bleeding Cool, and the award will take place at this years San Diego Comic Con.

With director Lucky McKee’s The Woman bowing in limited theatrical release via Bloody Disgusting Selects on Friday, October 14th, Dread hit its La premiere last Thursday, October 6th, at Laemmle Sunset 5 in Hollywood, CA, and chatted with the film’s director on the red carpet along with stars Pollyanna McIntosh, Sean Bridgers, Zach Rand and Carlee Baker. We also brought back some ocular candy. Read on!
“It’s pretty crazy!” director McKee, whose previous and touted directorial efforts include the 2002 film May, 2006’s The Woods and the Masters of Horror episode "Sick Girl", said of the buzz surrounding The Woman (review here). “I’m excited. I’m amazed to be here on Sunset Boulevard. When I was in film school (at USC), we used to come here all of the time to see cool stuff.”

Savage
Stars: Darren Healy, Nora-Jane Noone | Written & Directed by Brendan Muldowney
The Irish. A bunch of drunks and fighters, as like to use your face as a bottle-opener as shake your hand, or so the stereotype goes. But that’s exactly the stance Savage takes toward the people, painting most of its characters as violent, unhinged thugs. The film follows freelance photographer Paul (Darren Healy)’s descent into mental instability – and ultimately, violence – after being mugged, beaten and even castrated in an alleyway.
A timid and passive character to begin with, the traumatic event reduces his manhood even further, causing him to start carrying a taser and flinch at passersby innocently asking him for the time. His father’s carer Michelle (Nora-Jane Noone) attempts to help him recover, but the wounds are too deep, and it’s only a matter of time before Paul does something drastic in order to restore his masculinity.

Savage is at times an unrepentant and unpleasant piece which uses a revenge narrative to ask difficult questions on male identity as a whole. Its Dublin setting not only allows for displays of inner city aggression; seen all over cities in Britain/Ireland, but also invokes shards of Ireland’s troubled past.
By intention or not the film raises the idea that there may reside a generation of angry young men who may turn in on themselves to try and quell their primal desires.
Timid Beta-Male photographer Paul (Healy) is viciously beaten and castrated by two violent thugs after a first date with a pretty Nurse Michelle (Noone), who is looking after his ill father. The attack leaves Paul too scared to even leave the house and he starts taking counselling to help him get over what happened.
The nature of the attack also has him taking hormone pills. Soon...

Released on DVD on March 14th, Savage is the debut feature from writer-director Brian Muldowney and stars Darren Healy (Disco Pigs; Layer Cake) and Nora-Jane Noone (The Day Of The Triffids; The Descent; The Magdalene Sisters) in a gritty and brutal “Straw Dogs”-meets-“Taxi Driver” exploration of violence, obsession and revenge that has been described as “uncompromising… utterly compelling… [and] not for the faint-hearted”.
Dubliner Paul Graynor (Darren Healy) works as a freelance press photographer, visually documenting the day-to-day events of a vibrant city that, like many others, is becoming increasingly hostile and threatening. What Paul doesn’t realise is he is about to become front-page tabloid news himself. Walking home alone at night after a date with Michelle (Nora-Jane Noone), the care worker who is responsible for looking after his ailing father, Paul is accosted and violently assaulted by two youths.

Irish indie production “Savage” marks the debut of writer-director Brian Muldowney, and is basically a “Taxi Driver” style tale of urban ills and revenge, showing a distinctly non-tourist friendly side to the streets of Dublin. The film features Darren Healy (“Disco Pigs”, “Layer Cake”) in the lead, with support from Nora-Jane Noone (“The Day of the Triffids”, “The Descent”) and various nasty looking young thugs. Having enjoyed a measure of critical praise at festivals, the film now arrives on region 2 DVD via High Fliers Films, coming complete with commentary by and a Q&A session with Muldowney, plus cast auditions. Healy stars as Dubliner Paul Graynor, a press photographer whose trade often brings him into contact with the worst of humanity. One night, walking home after a date with his elderly father’s care worker Michelle (Noone), the poor man is attacked by a couple of particularly vicious youths, who...

'Savage' hits selected Irish cinemas with full force on Friday, September 17th. Written and directed by Brendan Muldowney (The Ten Steps) in his feature film debut, the harrowing film examines the far reaching effects of a violent attack on Paul Graynor, played by Darren Healy (Eamon). Iftn spoke with Brendan Muldowney about making the move from shorts to features and the unsettling areas of inspiration behind 'Savage'. Main protagonist Paul Graynor is an alienated press photographer who lives and works in an unfriendly and threatening Dublin. Falling victim to a random attack Paul finds himself the subject rather than the purveyor of an inner city tabloid story. He tries to come to terms with the attack but the physical and psychological scars refuse to heal.

There’s nothing like a good revenge flick to get the blood pumping. From the looks of the spiffy trailer provided below, writer/director Brendan Muldowney’s 2009 thriller “Savage” is more than willing to provide cinematic adrenaline junkies with more than their fair share of on-screen intensity. Since I’m somewhat of a revenge flick fanatic, my opinion might be more than a little biased. Don’t take my word for it — thoroughly investigate the synopsis and the trailer for yourself. It’ll be fun! Here’s a rundown of the story, courtesy of Twitch: Finding himself the victim of an attack on the wrong side of the tracks of a crime-ridden city, Paul Graynor, (Darren Healy, Once, Layercake) a press photographer who works exploiting the tabloid news, finds himself the focus of it. He tries to come to terms with his attack, though the scars – both psychological and physical — prove impossible to heal.

It's fair to say that I'm more than a little bit fond of Brendan Muldowney's Irish revenge drama Savage, a film graced by a stellar central performance by Darren Healey. And so I was very pleased to see that international sales agents Cinemavault have prepared a new trailer for the film and that it's available online. Check it below.

Savage is a revenge film, the likes of which no one has seen in quite some time. In the film, character Paul Graynor (Darren Healy) is castrated in a back alleyway. Not a great way to start a weekend, but a great way to start a film, as Paul searches to find what masculinity really means. The attack is random and some viewers, lucky enough to see the film, will empathize with the character despite Paul being "an unlikeable chap" (Quiet Earth). Savage is already set for a showing at the European Film Market Wednesday February 17th. Those unable to jump on a jet to see the film in Berlin can have a look at the very gritty, and brutal trailer here.

Savage is an in depth, quiescent character study of an effeminate, male victim after a brutal attack which leaves him questioning his own manhood. Belying the true nature of the film is it's metallic blue sheen, implying the cold, tasteless world, and polished production which loudly declare something the film is not: a revenge flick. While nothing new for it's genre, it does deliver good pacing thanks to the editing, and in the end it does it's job effectively and satisfies in it's seemingly brush one hour and 20 minutes.
Our main character, Paul, is an unlikeable chap. His job makes him a borderline scumbag, and as a result, I was actually looking forward to him getting his inevitable beating. After little about his job and life we get right into the goods,...

When photographer Paul Graynor (Darren Healy) is horrifically assaulted one night not far from his own home, he retreats into isolation and watches his life slowly destroyed by the fear that eats away at him. While he ponders not only the acts of his attackers but also the state of society itself his feat gradually mutates into anger and a gritty a determination to clean up the streets is born.
If you've never seen Taxi Driver, or indeed are totally unfamiliar with the concept of a revenge movie, this might just seem new to you. For the rest of us however, Brendan Muldowney's Irish thriller offers a satisfactory diversion for an hour and a half, but little more.

The film Taxi Driver has been used in comparison for this Irish flick which looks beautifully shot and revolves around a victim of violence who turns to vengeance. Sorry folks, no trailer yet, but we've got a 3 stills and a review coming up shortly.
