If you have an interest in Cult Cinema, then you know who Charles Band is. If you don’t, I highly recommend you go do some research before reading any further. And if you don’t know who Charles Band is while claiming to love Cult Cinema, hand in your membership card on your way out. Charles…

A mysterious chunk of magnetic stone buried in the badlands, a couple of geologists, and an ancient consciousness looking for a way out. Yeah, Split Rock has my attention. The new supernatural horror feature comes from writer/director Ryan Glover and stars Clark Backo (The Changeling, Venom: The Last Dance), Drew Ray Tanner (Riverdale), Olivia Luccardi…
