Apartment 407 Starring Amber Benson Has Been Released in Cinemas in LA

10/30/2018

A few days ago Amber posted via her official Twitter account that Apartment 407 had been released in cinemas in LA, to see Amber's tweet click here

The movie tells the story of Isobel a young woman abducted and forced into sex trafficking and her harrowing battle to survive. What makes this movie even more powerful is that it’s based on the real-life experiences of actor Frieda Farrell who plays Isobel, this is her true story.

If you're a regular visitor to AmberBenson.TV and this sounds familiar it's because back in 2014 I wrote a small update for the latest Amber news section about Selling Isobel the movie’s original title. It also included a link to an article from movievine.com and had some still photos from the movie, including one of Amber who plays the role of Chloe. I searched the internet but it wasn't until Amber's post a few days ago that I heard more about the movie.

Click the link below for show times. It’s available in two cinemas in the LA area for the next couple of days so if you hurry there is still time to see it.

The book reflects on the iconic moments and cultural trends it inspired. It looks at the elusive reasons as to why all these years later so many people still watch it. The book combines commentary, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and more. Kelsey will also be joining Amber for some of the narration.

As a huge Amber fan and someone who enjoys watching Friends too I am pleased that Amber will be there for me and all her fans.

A Sneak Peek of Brand New Lifetime Original Movie Terror in Woods Written by Amber Benson has Been Released

10/13/2018

0 Comments

Earlier this month it was revealed that Amber has written the script for Terror in the Woods a brand-new original movie for the Lifetime Network. Terror in the Woods will have its world premiere on 14thof October 2018.

Some fans may know that earlier in her career Amber starred in two original movies for the Lifetime Network. She played Danni Hartford in fun festive film Holiday Wishes and Lori Madison in the romantic comedy 7 Things To Do Before I’m 30, still one of my favourite movies starring Amber.

Last year she took on a different role for Lifetime writing the script for Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer. The movie looks at the relationship between former Paralympic Champion Oscar Pistorius and model Reeva Steenkamp leading up to the fateful events on Valentine's Day night 2013 when Reeva was tragically shot to death in Pistorius's home.

Blade Runner Killer also examined the trial that gripped South Africa and the world. Oscar was convicted of culpable homicide (manslaughter). Later following an appeal he was retried and convicted of murder an initial six year sentence was increased to 15 years by the South African Supreme Court. Amber did an amazing job of drawing together trial transcripts, interviews, witness accounts etc in creating a script for the movie.

Amber will be using her considerable writing and research talents to pen the script for Terror in the Woods the second feature she has written for the Lifetime Network.

Inspired by true events Terror in the Woods tells the story of Rachel (Ella West Jerrier) and Kaitlyn (SophieGrace McCarthy) 12-year-old best friends living in a small town in Georgia, USA. They both love ghost stories one in particular caught their imagination, the legend of Suzerain a forest dwelling Demon. Their parents believe this is just harmless fun unaware that the friends are convinced the demon is not only real but will kill their families unless he receives a blood sacrifice. Rachel and Kaitlyn make the horrifying decision to sacrifice their friend Emily (Skylar Morgan Jones) thankfully however she survives the attack. The police launch an investigation into how and why this could have happened. Questions are asked about the mental health of Rachel and Kaitlyn while others wonder if the internet itself is to blame.

Terror in the Woods is set for its World Premiere on 14th of October 2018 on Lifetime in the USA at 8 PM (7 PM central).

Ahead of the premiere Lifetime have released a 50 second sneak peek of movie via Lifetime USA social media accounts. Check out the link below:

https://twitter.com/lifetimetv/status/1050853780173021184?s=21

At the moment we don't know when or if Terror in the Woods will be shown in the UK and another countries. If and when this changes I will do my very best to let you know as soon as possible.

The movie is set to tackle some very difficult subject matter but knowing Amber as I do I'm sure she will deliver an honest and sensitive account of this shocking story. Hopefully I will get a chance to see the movie for myself soon as I always want to support Amber's work.

All of us at AmberBenson.TV would like to congratulate Amber on this project building on her growing body of work writing for television.

I have tried to access this page myself and I keep being automatically redirected to Lifetime's UK website which at the moment has no information on the movie itself. I have to thank my friend and fellow Amber fan Katie for helping me gather information about the movie. Below you'll find an image from Lifetime’s USA website.

Katie helped me pull together enough information for a summary of the movie and I have been able to find some additional information from entertainment website deadline.com below:

“Terror in the Woods— Inspired by true events, Rachel (Ella West Jerrier) and Kaitlyn (SophieGrace McCarthy) are two quiet, shy 12-year-old best friends in small town Georgia. Like many 12 year-olds, they liked having sleepovers and spent much of their time on the internet often looking up scary stories. Their favorite internet spooky story is that of the Suzerain, a clawed monster who lures children to his palace in the forest. To their parents, it seemed like a harmless ghost story, but in reality, the girls believed the Suzerain was real and that he would hurt their families unless they did what he told them to, which was perform a blood sacrifice. Together, they settle on their friend Emily (Skylar Morgan Jones) as their target, stabbing her with a pair of scissors. Miraculously, Emily survives the brutal attack, and Rachel and Kaitlyn are picked up by the police.

As the investigation begins, bigger questions about use of the internet and the state of the girls mental health come to the forefront. Had Kaitlyn’s parents Dani (Angela Kinsey, The Office) and Nathan (Drew Powell, Gotham), and Rachel’s mom Jackie (Carrie Hood, Devious Maids), been aware of the extent of the girls fascination with the Suzerain? Should the ultimate blame be placed on the dark side of the internet or the deeper issue of mental health? Or was there nothing that could stop the hold that Suzerain had over Rachel and Kaitlyn. Terror in the Woods is produced by Thinkfactory Media in association with Swirl Films for Lifetime Television. Executive producers are Leslie Greif, Christina Ricci, and James Heerdegen. Produced by Eric Tomosunas. D.J. Viola directs from a script written by Amber Benson.”

The official trailer has also been released which I have embedded below. Thanks again Katie for pointing me in the right direction.
