Mr. Howden’s gorefest, set and filmed in New Zealand, has way too much projectile vomiting of blood for genteel tastes, a series of close-up beheadings and one too many scenes (i.e., one) of a slain human’s internal organs tumbling onto the floor. But the film has its charms. It’s easy to empathize with the handsome young protagonist, Brodie (Milo Cawthorne), the new metalhead in town, who is beaten up by bullies, yearns for the prettiest girl in school (Kimberley Crossman) and explains his taste in music with, “Life is better because somebody else knows the pain and the rage that you’re going through.” Ms. Crossman is appealing, too, as Medina, who shows up with a big ax at the appropriate times and inexplicably knows how to use it. In between the rampant four-letter words and the occasional partial nudity are likable attempts at humor — some sweet, some saucy. As the human villain’s girlfriend (Delaney Tabron) kills him by stabbing him in the mouth, she observes, “Now who doesn’t have a gag reflex?” http://www.delaneytabron.com/news/2017/7/20/the-herald monthly 0.5 2017-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/1500581165640-9LNN1Q0UAIVSXQHFMWL0/image-asset.jpeg Press - The Herald TV2's Step Dave returns to our screens this week for its second season - and there's a new star in town. Kimberley Crossman, 27, was the show's resident mischievous minx last time, but this season Delaney Tabron, the former editor of NO magazine, is playing Xandra, a super-hot mess who always gets into trouble and stirs up drama. From Los Angeles, Tabron told Spy the "messy characters" are always the most fun to play. "Xandra is always getting into trouble and causing a ruckus wherever she goes. She has a big heart and always means well, but you know what they say about the road to hell being paved with good intentions." The show's star, 25-year-old Jono Kenyon told Spy: "There is plenty of sex appeal this time around with Delaney coming into the mix and causing mischief. She's super-hot and super-talented." Tabron, who is the stepdaughter of famous Viaduct Soul Bar restaurateur Judith Tabron, won't be around to enjoy the fame generated over the season as she moved to the US five weeks ago to chase her acting dreams. "There is a whole new world of possibility here," she said. "I have my first LA premiere on October 2 for a metal horror film I was in, called Deathgasm and Desired, with Kim Crossman, who also lives here. "Having two feature films and a TV show all out at the same time is pretty exciting." Despite being a new arrival, Tabron said she was settling well into life in the US city. "You could go out somewhere new every night in LA and never run out of places to go," she said. "We went to a bar in West Hollywood and while we were waiting in the queue, the host mistook me for someone important and famous and apologised profusely that we had to wait in a line. He shuffled us in to a VIP area and bought us free drinks all night. It was really awkward and I'm still not sure who they thought I was." http://www.delaneytabron.com/news/2017/7/20/the-terror-of-delaney-tabron-sunday-magazine monthly 0.5 2017-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/1500580531692-SOMBX3VBAVX3VFXNU3JB/image-asset.jpeg Press - Sunday Magazine - The Terror Delaney Tabron appears in Step Dave, now screening on TV2. You recently relocated to Los Angeles. Initial impressions? I'd only been once before and thought it was a vapid, superficial tourist town, so I was really dreading it. You just hear terrible stories about actors in LA and the things they go through. But it has surprised me. There is so much incredible art and culture I wasn't aware of when I was just visiting. You have to live in a place to scratch beyond the surface. What type of characters do you look to play? What won't you go near? I just look for a good story people can relate to. I also like playing really dark, awful, duplicitous characters. I'm quite a nice human so I like to play characters that are the opposite of that. I don't think there's a character I wouldn't play – maybe if something felt off or demeaning. On Step Dave you play the well-meaning but trouble-making Xandra. Are you similarly wayward? I have a really innocent face which means I get away with a lot of things I shouldn't. But when I go through airports I always get stopped. I think it's because I look so innocent – 'She's clearly a drug mule' – but generally in life it works for me. Career highlight so far? I was in a movie, Desired, by Amanda Phillips, and in 2013 she flew me to Cannes for the premiere. It was incredible – suddenly the whole film business became real to me. I was walking the red carpet behind Johnny Depp and sitting next to Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling. I also went to meetings with distributors and heard the way they sell films. Long before working on Sunday you had your own magazine, No. What story are you proudest of publishing? The interview that was hardest to get, but I'd always wanted to do, was John Lydon of the Sex Pistols. Johnny Rotten. He doesn't have email or a telephone, but I managed to track down his fax number. I sent him these heartfelt letters but he ignored them all, so I started sending through black pages with just one word – 'Please', 'Say', 'Yes', 'To', 'No' – which used up all his ink. He obviously appreciated my persistence and said yes. Do you think independent magazines have a future? Yes. People will always want good content. Magazines will just have to change and evolve. They can exist in a much bigger way now online. If readers trust you as a curator, they'll keep coming back. In the same way people love vinyl, there will be people who collect magazines. Which of your traits do you most deplore? I am scared of everything. I'm in a constant state of terror all the time. Which are you most proud of? The fact I'm brave enough to not let my terror stop me doing what I want to do. Also people tell me I'm kind. I'm quite proud of that. Tell us something about yourself few people know. When I was little, my big dream was to be a professional dancer. I used to put on elaborate shows for my parents, friends, whoever would watch. It wasn't until I was 16 my sister sat me down in a kind, loving way and said, 'You're really just not co-ordinated enough to be a dancer.' I'm glad she told me – I was on the path to being one of those really bad reality TV auditions. http://www.delaneytabron.com/reels daily 0.75 2018-02-19 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/t/5a8b4fce8165f58a19dcfaed/1500582104208/ Reel - Delaney Reel 2017 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/59710ff2c534a5bd3dd8ff78/597110066a4963468e71a41d/1500582104208/ Reel - Delaney Reel 2017 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/59710ff2c534a5bd3dd8ff78/597110459c03e0500d11a5ad/1500581894765/ Reel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/1519079363351-BGV3LNB0QRAWTR26KCF4/Desired.jpg Reel - DelaneyDemoReel_2018 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/59710ff2c534a5bd3dd8ff78/597110aa363d3c757c126da5/1500581957366/ Reel http://www.delaneytabron.com/headshots daily 0.75 2017-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/1500583221351-TIR2V2YZRI0MJXYZL10W/Delaney.jpg Headshots https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/1500583221351-TIR2V2YZRI0MJXYZL10W/Delaney.jpg Headshots https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/1500583250689-PYYZ1J8X2YO2EXZWXIV8/DT_1.jpg Headshots https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/1500583266589-R8V83MGHP9DNEJ44SYFH/DT_2.jpg Headshots http://www.delaneytabron.com/home-miller daily 1.0 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57de16c603596e8da90ae8e0/1500578337004-BKFTVHCER3NNBYWMG28R/Delaney_TommyLee Home - Licks.
