Mine actually has different Fearnet listings in two different sections of on demand (one area has only the behind the scenes clips you mention, the other has the movie). Try "movies" then "free movies" then "Fearnet" and see if it's there.

That's one of the most innovative things I've seen in a long time, and captures pretty well something that's given me the creeps since I 1st learned of it in the 80's when I saw 'Wolfen" (i.e., that your head can live on for several minutes after being cut off, and how horrifying that must be). But beyond that, I don't find much to recommend in this film. I haven't read the story in years, but from what I do recall it's a fairly faithful adaptation, so there's that. But the DP should be bludgeoned with a maglite. There's a fine line between a film being shot in a DARK manner, and one that is so dark it's annoying. This film crossed that line. I continually found myself wondering what the hell I was looking at, because it's so Goddam dark you can't make heads or tails of what's going on. Maybe there's artistic merit to that (but that's what the CHARACTERS are seeing), but to me this is no more forgiveable, when it's done for so much of the film, than an overuse of the POV shaky cam we saw so much of after "28 Days Later". Remember how annoying that was? Same deal, IMO.

Thunderheart is not horror.

I agree on both points. in fact nobody was crazy about showing Thunderheart, I believe Lionsgate sort of stuck us with it. But, for what it's worth, I do try to use the meager amount of power/influence I have to get better stuff on the air.
