The Siege of Robin Hood
First up we have Saban Films' action-adventure "The Siege of Robin Hood," now playing in select theaters and arriving on demand and digital today. The film stars Paul Allica as Robin Hood, Kahli Williams as Freyda, Dave Beamish as Sir Lancelot, Keanu Gonzalez as Tuck, Peter Roordink as Little John, and John Fallon as The Sergeant.
Here is the official synopsis:
When the Sheriff of Nottingham's soldiers brutally attack his family, a young man named Robin vows bloody revenge on the men responsible. He recruits a team of outcasts, mavericks, and fugitive warriors, each has a grudge to settle with the Sheriff and an extreme fighting skill to match. Together they devise a plan to exact revenge and lay to rest the ghosts of his past.
Rondo and Bob
Next is Electric Entertainment's Award-winning documentary "Rondo and Bob," which focuses on "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" art director Robert Burns and his obsession with cult actor Rondo Hatton, available today on streaming platforms. Written and directed by Joe O'Connell, the film features veteran stuntman Gary Kent ("Bubba Ho-Tep," "The Green Hornet"), actress Dee Wallace ("Cujo," "The Howling"), "Re-Animator" director Stuart Gordon, Joseph Middleton, Joe Bob Briggs, "Hills Have Eyes" producer Peter Locke, Edwin Neal of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," filmmaker Fred Olen Ray, and many more.
Here is the official synopsis:
Robert A. "Bob" Burns is a significant name in horror film art direction for his work in the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Re-Animator, The Howling. While attending the University of Texas he edited the Texas Ranger humor magazine and discovered Rondo Hatton, a former Tampa, Florida, sports reporter, who contracted acromegaly, a condition that caused his face, hands and feet to grow out of proportion to the rest of his body. It caused the former athlete and All-American kid to close himself off from the outside world until he met his second wife Mae. Together they went to Hollywood where Hatton became the Creeper in a series of films starting with the Sherlock Holmes story "The Pearl of Death." He died of a heart attack brought on by his medical condition. The documentary weaves together the stories of Burns and Hatton and delves into their horror filmographies and personal life stories. The Creeper becomes a metaphor for Burns' lifelong belief in his inner ugliness, a lack that left him unable to feel true love.
