Filed under: , , ,

Bronwen (not pictured in this blog post) will definitely not be seeing this film but if you are not a “scaredy-person” like her – check it out! Audiences and reviewers are loving it:

“an ingenious horror film. It’s so well made it’s truly scary”
~ Roger Ebert of THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

“SO SCARY! Just when you thought it was safe to close your eyes…GOOD LUCK GOING TO SLEEP!”
~ Harry Knowles AIN’T IT COOL NEWS


Okay so this film is definitely scary but signing up for our e-newsletter (or picking up your winnings) shouldn’t frighten you at all! By signing up for our Biz Bulletin, you give yourself the opportunity to win movie passes like Biz customers Eric Morrison (film editor) and Becky Shrimpton (actress) did just the other day.

When Becky stopped by Biz to pick up the pass she won for the film Paranormal Activity, she told us about her latest gig in Fighting Chance Productions’ One Good Marriage by Sean Reycraft. Don’t miss out on the B.C. premiere of this awesome play by one of Vancouver’s most exciting independent theatre companies!
