Sparks

Running time: 97 mins

With great power, comes greater villains. Based on his own cult comic hit, Christopher Folino's groundbreaking superhero noir thriller follows Ian Sparks (Chase Williamson, John Dies at the End), a young man destined to protect others from the grips of evil. He may not have the physical prowess of other Supers, but his lovable charm easily captures the heart of the beautiful Lady Heavenly (Ashley Bell, The Last Exorcism). Together they become the go-to heroes, but after a traumatizing encounter with the villainous Matanza (William Katt, Carrie), Sparks plunges into darkness. Overcome with defeat and self-doubt, will he find his way back to the light or betray all that he once stood for? With a brilliant supporting cast, including Clancy Brown (Shawshank Redemption), Jake Busey (Starship Troopers), Clint Howard (Apollo 13), and Marina Squerciati (Gossip Girls), Sparks delivers action, twists, and excitement. - Sharon Gonzales
