As
with English movie channels that are vying for audience
attention on weekends, AXN is also coming out with its own
selection of action thrillers to lure the viewer on Saturdays
and Sundays.
Dubbed the Saturday Weekend Blast and the Sunday

prophecies of Judgement Day and that she has been chosen
as the instrument of the seventh sign that will end all
mankind.
The Fourth Floor starring Juliette Lewis and William
Hurt, will feature on 13 July at the same time - a movie

twist of events when she moves to a new apartment inherited
from her aunt. Horrifying and chilling incidents make her
realise that her new neighbours are the ones responsible
for her aunt's death and are gunning for her life.
The Rendering on 20 July at 9 pm stars Shannon Doherty,
Peter Outerbridge, and John Brennen and has Shannon Doherty
as Sarah Reynolds who has the gift of drawing; a gift that
she uses to put a deranged stalker behind bars. And years
later when this very same man controls the fate of her jailed
husband she has no choice but to help get this man free.
She even indulges his fantasies of having a relationship
with her.

its destructive path across the country.
