ParaNorman Prize Pack Giveaway!

In ParaNorman, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he'll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse.

Drew Taylor at The Playlist praises, "ParaNorman is a micro-sized masterpiece that wears its heart (and its half-eaten brains) on its sleeve." With voice work by Casey Affleck, Anna Kendrick, John Goodman, Leslie Mann and more, ParaNorman is brought to you by LAIKA (the makers of Coraline) and Focus Features and hits theaters this week.

And now you can win a fun prize pack from the film! More details, inside.

Undocumented Online Giveaway!

In the style of found footage thrillers such as [Rec] and Cloverfield, Undocumented is a horror film that follows a small group of documentary filmmakers who set out to chronicle the trials and inequities faced by Mexican illegal immigrants. When they join a group of families crossing the border to record the experience firsthand, their truck is pulled over and detained. What happens next plunges the group into unimaginable horror.

"Directed with style and intensity by first-timer Chris Peckover," Undocumented is "both a highly entertaining thriller and a somewhat shocking horror film, but it’s also a highly insightful and darkly amusing indictment of America’s contradictory policies on illegal immigrants," notes Scott Weinberg at FearNET.

And now, you can win an access code to watch the film for FREE on Sundance Now!
