In the quaint coastal town of Widow’s Bay, Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys), determined to create a better future for his teenage son, is desperate to help put the town on the map by making it into an attractive tourist attraction, but he must contend with the superstitious locals who believe the island is cursed. Somehow, it works, but he soon finds out that the locals are right and the island is awake and no longer safe.

Recently, production designer Steve Arnold spoke with SciFi Vision about shaping the visual world of Widow’s Bay, including its deliberately remote, out-of-time look to the older technology, creepy welcome videos, and horror homages layered throughout the town. Arnold also discusses designing the sets such as the Salty Whale and Breakwater Inn, changing the town to 1702, and creating detailed props like the unsettling board games in episode two and the grimoire Patricia (Kate O’Flynn) uses in episode four.

New episodes air Tuesdays on Apple TV.

In this week’s episode of FROM, Julie (Hannah Cheramy) gains some new insight when she and Randall (A.J. Simmons) read some of Ethan (Simon Webster)’s books on time travel, learning a new way to potentially control where she ends up. However, when Julie arrives at the massacre in 1978, things don’t go as expected. Cheramy, who spoke with SciFi Vision last week, talked about the experience of filming that scene. “That was an insane day,” said the actress. “It was a big mix of like, prop bodies, but then we had actual people laying in the streets just soaked in blood.” Cheramy also really liked how they dressed the set. “I loved how much they changed the town, all of the little details…They changed a lot to make to show that it's the past.”

The actress also talked about Julie’s drive this season to help her father “Her faith is really questioned this season,” she explained. “…[S]he starts with this place [of] being so determined, but a lot of that comes from just like, she's in so much denial about the loss of her father that, to her, it's almost like he's not even dead.” The actress added that Julie doesn’t know how but thinks she will figure it out, even when everyone around her doesn’t think it’s possible.

One of those characters of course is Randall, who’s been helping Julie out with the storywalking and has become almost like a big brother to Julie. “I love acting with AJ. It’s super cool working with him,” said Cheramy of Simmons.

The six episode limited series The Terror: Devil in Silver is based on Victor LaValle’s novel of the same name and follows Pepper (Dan Stevens), a blue collar moving man, who because of his bad tempter ends up committed to the New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital, an underfunded and deeply unsettling place where the staff, the patients, and the building itself all seem to conceal something terrible, perhaps even the Devil himself. He soon discovers that his only way out may be facing the entity that feeds on the suffering of the patients, but he may find out that the scariest demons of all are live inside of him.

Recently showrunner Christopher Cantwell and LaValle, who also serves as a showrunner, spoke with SciFi Vision about adapting the novel for television.

In the film Deep Water, directed by Renny Harlin, a plane flying from Los Angeles to Shanghai suffers an explosion and goes down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. However, the survivors discover it’s not over yet, as the waters are infested with sharks. Ben (Aaron Eckhart), the First Officer, must fight to stay alive and lead as many of the surviving passengers as he can to safety.

Gene Simmons, who served as a producer on the film, decided to do the project because of the script and director. “I'm 100% sure it's the same thing that got a truckload of creative, wonderful people who wante to get involved in the film, from the bit players to the special effects people to the scenic designer, the cinematographers, special effects, everybody, it's that script,” Simmons told SciFi Vision, adding that Harlin as director is the “heart and soul” of the film.

Harlin also spoke with the site during the interview about creating the crash scene for the film, and highlighted the importance of small details in such a scene. “It's [tiny] details that make it really palpable and makes the audience relate to it and feel the reality of it,” said Harlin.

In this week’s episode of FROM, Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno), was acting a bit irrationally, ready to jump through the faraway tree, which is due to her dealing with her grief over her husband Jim (Eion Bailey)’s death according to Moreno, who spoke with SciFi Vision last week. “I think that's part of grieving,” the actress told the site. “That's part of being broken…she needs to feel useful. She needs to find answers.”

“[B]ut I don't think she's a bad mother,” she added. “I think her drive is always thinking about protecting her children, but she's in this pressure cooker of despair and grief, and she just needs answers. And she got answers once, and maybe she wants to find them again...She's doing the best she can in a crazy place like FROM.”

The actress also spoke about whether Tabitha thinks Ethan (Simon Webster) really saw Jim, how she thinks people in the town might react if they find out what her character and Jade (David Alpay) learned, what it was like filming the scene where Tabitha first saw Jim’s body, and more.

Written and directed by Aaron Davidman, the film American Solitaire follows war veteran Sliner (Joshua Close) after returning home from combat and how he deals with the aftermath. In a country that often celebrates guns and glorifies violence, the journey to return to civilian life and find himself again won’t be easy. The film, which also stars Gilbert Owuor as Auggie and Joanne Kelly as Athena, examines the psychological toll of combat and hidden costs of serving in the military.

Writer and director Davidman, along with stars Close, Owuor, and Kelly, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the emotional film, which is currently in theaters.

In season two of Criminal Record, rival police officers Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty (Peter Capaldi) and Detective Sergeant June Lenker (Cush Jumbo) join forces after a young man is killed at a political rally. But what starts as a tentative alliance as they hunt for the murderer soon shifts to an undercover operation to stop a bomb plot in London.

This season the relationship is less antagonistic between Hegarty and Lenker. According to Capaldi, who recently spoke with SciFi Vision, that shift is partially due to Hegarty needing her help on a current case. “[L]ast season delved into the past,” he explained. “…This season is a happening case. It's an actually live case that they have to deal with, which is getting more dangerous day by day, and he actually needs June to help him.”

“[H]e does have a respect for her as a cop and knows how good she is,” he added, saying that, regardless, he isn’t interested in becoming her friend.

According to Jumbo, for Lenker, it’s because of her reaction to a murder she witnessed. “She feels so incredibly guilty about it and so disappointed in herself having allowed it to happen that I think she'll do anything to try to kind of seek justice for him, even if it means annoyingly having to work with Hegarty again,” Jumbo told the site.

As such, Hegarty is able to use things to his advantage and manipulate her. “I just try and give her a version of the truth, which works in my favor,” said Capaldi. “…He's somebody who is following his own agenda, but he's really good at what he does.

“[He] has to figure out what sacrifices have to be made, who has to be thrown under the bus in order to achieve the result he wants,” he continued, adding that he’s happy to throw Lenker under the bus if that’s what it takes.

Yesterday, MGM+ released the premiere of the eagerly-anticipated fourth season of FROM. In the episode, a teenage girl, Sophia (Julia Doyle), and her father, the pastor (Rhys Bevan-John), arrive into town. At the end of the episode, however, it is revealed to viewers that Sophia isn’t his daughter at all, in fact, she isn’t even human. She is actually a newly transformed Man in Yellow (Douglas E. Hughes), who hitched a ride with the pastor into the town pretending to be lost, causing him to have a seizure and crash his car into the sheriff’s station.

Doyle, in a recent interview with SciFi Vision, spoke about emulating Hughes in her performance. "I wanted to make sure that I stayed true to the performance that he kind of laid out in a way, or the blueprint,” explained the actress, adding that she did however also go beyond what the actor portrayed, using it only as a backboard.

In the episode, the actress is fantastic with her quick flip between sweet and evil, and she enjoyed doing both. “I will say that I love playing both sides, because it  keeps things interesting,” said Doyle. “Also, I do love playing with my eyes and the subtleties of that, but also I love playing creepy, and I've been waiting to get a juicy [role] like this where I'm able to be a creep, and that's very fun for me.”

FROM follows a group of residents trapped in a town they can never leave, trying to unravel the mystery of the town as they fight to survive nightmarish creatures that come out at night and other threats from the surrounding forest.

Sunday, the highly-anticipated fourth season comes to MGM+. In the new season, the group learns that knowledge comes at a cost, and as some new people arrive in town, things quickly go from bad to worse.

At the end of last season, Harold Perrineau, who stars as Sheriff Boyd Stevens, tortured Elgin (Nathan D. Simmons) in order to find out where he was holding his pregnant daughter-in-law, Fatima (Pegah Ghafoori) captive. Will those actions still affect him this season as he continues to try to hold the town together? According to Perrineau, who recently spoke with SciFi Vision, he did what he had to. “There’s no way that he wanted to do that,” the actor told the site. “…but it is the burden of the self-appointed leader to try to figure it out. So, that’s going to sit with him when they get out or if they don’t, like it’s going to last forever. But I think he believes he’s doing everything that he has to do in order to achieve his mission, which is to get everyone home again.”

People could react differently if the truth comes out. “It feels like a little microcosm of what's going on in our society right now," said Perrineau. “You can find out some of the worst things about anybody, and there’re going to be so many different sides that people are going to take. And I think that's exactly what could and will happen with Boyd, which is the reason that we keep watching it.”
