"It's An Ordinary House - But What Waits Inside Is Anything But" Now available on digital from Dark Sky Films, we have an exclusive clip from Gateway just for Daily Dead readers, along with comments from director / writer Niall Owens.
"Mike is a low-level drug dealer in debt to a ruthless supplier. When he and his gang set up shop in an abandoned house, he thinks his problems are solved. But a mysterious locked door inside the house and growing discord within the gang brings old feuds boiling to the surface. As friendships unravel, the house begins to enact its own plan, using the gang’s own deepest dark thoughts against them.
Like lambs to the slaughter, the men are lured one by one into the room and there they are confronted by the evil world that lies within themselves. The once-locked door is now open, and what lies beyond has its own desires.

Prison break movies are always interesting things. Sometimes you get the high-octane thrillers where action is the main focus, but other times you get the more cerebral, that focuses on the plans to escape, and what it took to pull off an almost impossible feat. Maze is one of the more thoughtful prison break movies, made all the more interesting because of the fact it was based around the Irish troubles.
In 1983, thirty-eight Ira prisoners managed to pull off a mass breakout from Hmp Maze, the infamous high-security prison in Northern Ireland. To do this though first one of the prisoners Larry Marley (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) had to gain the trust of prison warden Gordon Close (Barry Ward), a...

Production finished on My Brothers in 2009, but now three years and three Ifta nominations later, the film, the directorial debut of screen writer Paul Fraser (Dead Man's Shoes), working from a script by Cork born screen writer Will Collins, is finally getting an Irish release date. Shot entirely in Cork, the 1987 set film follows three brothers' journey across Ireland to replace their dying fathers watch. The film stars Timmy Creed, Paul Courtney, Tj Griffin, Kate Ashfield, Don Wycherly and Sarah Greene. My Brothers is released in selected Irish cinemas on the 17th August. Source: Iftn...

Paul Courtney got his first movie role by ditching class. A middle-school student from County Cork, Ireland, he was sitting at his desk when it was announced that a filmmaker visiting the school wanted to audition boys for a part in a movie. Figuring that an acting career had to be better than what he was currently enduring, he signed up."The next day, I was sent in, and they asked me if I could come back again in an hour," Courtney says. "I went back, and at the end of that they asked me to come back again the day after."Courtney—red hair, freckles, spectacles and all—was the first of three untrained actors cast as siblings in "My Brothers," which made its world premiere at the just-wrapped-up Tribeca Film Festival. Courtney plays Paudy, the second in age of three siblings with an ailing father, and a comic...

Once in a while a film comes out of Ireland that seems to upend all the ones that came before it. In 2008 it was the midlands epic "Eden" and the shoestring rock musical "Once" that wowed critics and audiences with their simple but affecting storylines and stellar performances. Then last year Irish playwright Conor McPherson’s chiller "The Eclipse" seemed to invent its own genre. In 2010 the drama that looks unlike anything that’s come out of Ireland before is "My Brothers," currently showing at the Tribeca Film Festival. Written by Irish screenwriter Will Collins, 33, and directed by British man Paul Fraser, 37, it’s a tender story about three young working class Cork brothers who take an impromptu road trip together as they struggle to cope with their father’s imminent death. As storylines go, that may sound like a grim one, but the performances by the young Irish cast...

One of the standout movies at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival , at least in terms of narrative films, is Paul Fraser's directorial debut My Brothers , a warm and funny road trip movie about three brothers who travel across the Irish countryside in a broken-down delivery truck to get a new watch for their dying father. Although Fraser's name might not jump out at you, he's the screenwriter behind a number of the movies directed by one of England's finest independent filmmakers Shane Meadows , and he's made quite an amazing debut with material that's not exactly the easiest to pull off well. Besides being a bonafide road movie, Fraser cast three completely new and unknown actors with Timmy Creed, playing the eldest brother Noel whose father is dying, leaving the family in ruins....

Irish writer and director Paul Fraser is comfortable working with non-actors and using improvisation to get great performances, thanks to his work as a writer with the likes of Shane Meadows and Damien O'Donnell. But when it came time to make his feature directing debut, Fraser gave himself the added challenge of directing three boys, all of them newcomers to the screen who didn't just shoot most of their scenes inside a cramped bread van, but had to act like brothers all the while. The wonderful thing about My Brothers isn't just that the family relationship worked, but is the linchpin of Fraser's tender and lovely film. Last week I talked to Fraser and his three lead actors-- Timmy Creed, Paul Courtney and T.J. Griffin-- and Fraser told me it was less important to find non-actors than simply actors who could be honest onscreen. "From my point of views,...

Though the Tribeca Film Festival lineup can be notoriously inconsistent and impossible to predict what will actually be worth watching, I've noticed an impressive track record for Irish films at the festival. In 2008 there was the gut-wrenching family drama Eden, 2009 had the supernatural love story The Eclipse, and this year offers My Brothers, an inconsistent but remarkably tender and affecting story about three brothers on an accidental road trip as they cope with the fact of their father's imminent death. Teenage Noel (Timmy Creed) has been given much of the duty of taking care of his younger brothers Paudie (Paul Courtney) and Scwally (T.J. Griffin) while their mother tends to their ailing father, and it's clearly taking its toll. As a sentimental gesture Noel borrows his father's cheap wristwatch, but it's immediately broken by school bullies, leaving Noel both distraught but with a concrete plan rather than the aimless ...
