The Hoard is a 2018 Canadian comedy horror film written, produced, edited, and directed by Jesse Thomas Cook and Matt Wiele. The movie was released in Owen Sound, Canada on June 15, 2018.
The adventures and struggles of a production team trying to produce the pilot for a TV reality show called "Extremely Haunted Hoarders".
Anton Bitel from the British magazine SciFiNow called the movie "very, very funny", stating that "the screenplay from Burgess, Cook, and Wiele finding just the right place between smart and dumb, and turning garbage into pure gold". [1] Kat Hughes writing for "The Hollywood News" argued that the film starts well, but finishes badly, saying: "The Hoard starts well, but ultimately gets lost in silliness. If you’re a fan of a certain brand of comedy then you’ll have the time of your life, otherwise you may find the whole affair rather unsavoury." [2] Jennie Kermode from the website "Eye for Film" didn't like the film at all, giving it 2.5 stars out of 5 and writing: "The Hoard is, in many ways, a victim of its own success. It captures the in-your-face style of hoarding programmes perfectly but it's 96 minutes long with no advert breaks, and watching it quickly becomes exhausting." [3]

The Golem is a 2018 Israeli period supernatural horror film directed by Doron and Yoav Paz, and written by Ariel Cohen. It stars Hani Furstenberg, Ishai Golan, Brynie Furstenberg, and Konstantin Anikienko. The Golem is based on the Jewish legend of the same name, and the film's creators felt that the legend, which they referred to as "the Jewish Frankenstein", had never been properly developed into a film since the 1951 version The Emperor and the Golem. Originally it was intended to retain the original appearance of the title character for the film, "In the beginning, when we just started on the idea for the movie, we tried to tell the story as it is. That is with the real giant creature made of mud and clay,". The idea was soon abandoned, however, after realizing that it would not fit with the story they wanted to convey, deciding instead to reimagine the classic tale for a more contemporary audience while staying true to its original themes. Principal photography for The Golem commenced in the summer of 2017 near Kyiv, Ukraine, for a month and a half, with the majority of the film was shot in an isolated outdoor set, "in the middle of nowhere".
