Centring on the troubled relationship between a father and son, Sebastien Blanc’s feature début Cerebrum, which is screening as part of Frightfest 2022, deals with themes around loss, guilt and the lengths that people will go to to try and hang on to those they love. Tobi King Bakare plays William, a young man struggling to regain both his physical abilities and his memory after waking from a coma, whilst Richard, the father who is looking after him and struggling to find the right moment to break the news of his mother’s death, is played by Steve Oram, one of the UK’s most distinctive actors and a man frequently seen in genre film. Ahead of the festival, Steve and I connected for a chat and began by talking about his approach to choosing roles.
“I've done leading roles,” he says, “but a lot of it comes down to.

Stars: Adam Halferty, Jessie Rabideau, Ryan Kattner, James Russo, DeVaughn Labon, Jerilyn Armstrong, Russell Becker, Flora Rubenhold, Jason Tippet | Written and Directed by Matthew Goodhue
Writer/director Matthew Goodhue’s debut film Woe certainly opens on an intriguing note. An unkempt looking man, Charlie Dennistoun (Adam Halferty) walks out of the back door of an unkempt house surrounded by a swarm of flies and carrying what looks like a wrapped body. He proceeds to bury it as an old school phone rings incessantly. Can he keep our interest for the rest of the film though?
Charlie has been holed up in his father’s house since the old man killed himself by carbon monoxide poisoning in his Crown Vic. While he’s supposedly fixing the place up. He’s using that as an excuse to hide himself away from everyone. That includes his sister Betty (Jessie Rabideau) and her fiancé...

Cerebrum, the debut feature from director Arvi and co-writer Gary D. Houk made its premiere April 25th at the Worldfest Film Festival. The tale of experiments with human memory and father-son estrangement attracted a bit of attention ahead of its screening. Does it live up to the hype?
Tom Davis is forced to move back home with his estranged father Kirk. Tim is not happy about this although Chloe is glad to see him back in town.
Kirk is a scientist, a “cowboy Einstein” as his assistant Bhuvanesh (Anirudh Pisharody; Killer Competition) calls him. And he’s offered Tim a nice chunk of money to be the test subject for something he’s working on. A way to digitize and store the contents of your brain,...

"I don't trust myself anymore..." Glasshouse Distribution has released a new official trailer for an indie sci-fi film titled Cerebrum, marking the feature directorial debut of "visionary new filmmaker" Arvi Ragu. It's premiering at WorldFest in Houston this month, then arrives on VOD right after that. Yet another low budget sci-fi trying to play with big concepts like digitizing humanity and artificial intelligence, with some nods to Minority Report. A test subject at a memory transfer lab commits a crime he cannot remember. The premise explores "what will happen if our memories can be digitized as backups and used to restore it if it ever failed." This stars Christian James as Tom, Alexxis Lemire, John Ruby, James Russo, Andy Pisharody, and Aly Trasher. This has a bit of a Primer look and feel to it, I just hope it's smart and not too cheesy. They often start with a pretty cool idea,...

Any movie that signals its ambitions in an intriguing, oblique manner catches my interest, and that's certainly the case with a new trailer for Cerebrum. Heading for a screening at the 54th annual WorldFest in Houston towards the end of April, ahead of its debut On Demand via Glasshouse Distribution on May 4, Cerebrum starts with a striking premise: "To make ends meet, Tom signs on as a guinea pig at a home-based lab, but when he commits a crime he cannot remember, he must risk his own sanity to reveal the truth." Arvi Ragu directed; Christian James, Alexxis Lemire (The Half of It), and the great James Russo star. Have a look at the trailer below....
