"The Dead" rise again!

 
The Ford Brothers, the team behind the acclaimed zombie thriller "The Dead", have revealed that the much awaited sequel "The Dead 2" will be shot in India. Chatting to the audience at the FrightFest Halloween All-nighter, Howard Ford unveiled a teaser trailer shot on a recent location recce and said that the film, for which the screenplay is now completed, is anticipated to start production in February/March 2013.
 
Howard went on to say: “Jon and I have been receiving so much enthusiasm and demand for a sequel we owe it to the fans of 'The Dead 1' to deliver something that goes way beyond what we could achieve first time around and the starting point was to find the most stunning and varied landscapes where we have not seen the dead walk before”.
 
His brother Jon added: “Part 2 has to be another journey movie with varied terrains but challenges for our main characters that contain all of the gritty detail that people liked from the first film. There will be a lot more action and more scares along the way but we don't want to loose any of the little details that kept it feeling real”.
 
You can view the teaser trailer on You Tube.

Post-Apocalympic Stratford - Sci-Fi/Horror festival

SCI-FI-LONDON EAST - Starts 9th November!
 
According to the Mayans, it's all over in December this year. So, what better way to prepare than watch monsters, mutants and the military try to make sense of it all.
 
We are delighted to be teaming up with Picturehouse Cinemas and bring our festival to Stratford. We kick off on Friday 9th and run though to Sunday 11th November. We screen some amazing films and have a few special events in the bar.
 
Full details are on the website, but here are a few highlights:
 
ANTIVIRAL
Fresh from its UK premiere at the London Film Festival, we are delighted to be screening this biting satire on the contemporary obsession with celebrity culture, from Brandon (son of David) Cronenberg. Which is also a warning about the powers, and inherent dangers, of the big pharmaceutical corporations.
 
THE HUMAN RACE
UK premier from Director, Paul Hough, who made the award-winning short THE ANGEL. Eighty people from totally diverse backgrounds suddenly find themselves in an undisclosed location where they are expected to compete in a race with the simple rule "Race or die." Will it be survival of the fittest or a show of humanity?
 
Makes The Hunger Games and Running Man look like a Sunday perambulation in the park.
 
ALLNIGHTERS
What would a SCI-FI-LONDON festival be without our notorious all-nighters. Once again we bring you a collection of our favourite MST3K episodes and a superb line-up of new anime titles.
 
Films include TIGER AND BUNNY, JOURNEY TO AGARTHA, GINTAMA and GYO: TOKYO ATTACK FISH!

Hudson Horror Festival 666

One for my US site visitors, On Saturday, December 1st, 2012, the "Hudson Horror Show 666" will present a whopping six movies (for the price of five) along with shorts and vintage trailers, all off rare 35mm films.  It’s a massive, sweaty 12 hour explosion of horror and exploitation!
 
This is by the far the biggest and most diverse lineup of movies we have ever presented.  The show starts and heaven will be torn asunder as you run from, THE DEVIL’S RAIN!  Starring Ernest Borgnine, William Shatner, Tom Skerrit, and an appearance by John Travolta, this is the coolest of the Satan Chic classics from the 70’s.
 
One of the greatest exploitation movies of all time, SWITCHBLADE SISTERS, tells the story of the Dagger Debs, the tough as nails girl gang whose members were hot as hell.  Quentin Tarantino loves this movie, but hasn’t quite stolen from it yet!
 
Not many sequels can equal their predecessors, but PHANTASM II is one of the few. With more action, more midgets, and well, more balls, Phantasm II shatters the myth that all sequels suck.
 
There are no midgets in RE-ANIMATOR, but director Stuart Gordon’s unrated bloodbath has just about everything else.  Mad scientists, zombies, talking heads and the most insane oral sex scene ever committed to celluloid, this film is cinematic proof that Jeffrey Combs got robbed of a best actor Oscar in 1985.
 
Sound the trumpets of Crom, after 30 years; the original CONAN THE BARBARIAN makes it triumphant return to the big screen!  Forget the boring, anemic remake; Arnold Schwarzenegger’s breakout film delivers more blood, blades and boobs than most vintage slasher films.
 
Speaking of slasher films, what’s a Hudson Horror Show without one?  Have no fear as our mystery movie is now revealed to be the original BLACK CHRISTMAS.  Again, screw the remake; this is the original yuletide horror classic from 1974, which many claim to be the very first true slasher film.  And any movie starring John Saxon just kicks major ass!
 
Be sure to bring extra cash as we will have vendors selling more wares than ever before.  Comic books, movie posters, super cool magnets, rare DVD’s, t-shirts, artwork and more will up for grabs at HH666.  Horror author Jason Gehlert will even be in attendance signing copies of his brand spanking new book, Jeremiah Black.  This book sounds even sicker and more twisted than Jason’s other works, for all of his info go to www.facebook.com/jason.gehlert.
 
Advance tickets are $26.00 in advance at our website, if any day tickets remain, they will be $30.00 at the door day of show, cash only.  Doors open at noon, show starts at 1PM and runs until 12AM.  One ticket gets you entry in and out all day long.
 
For more information on the show, head to www.hudsonhorror.com or email us at info@hudsonhorror.com.  Advance tickets are going quick and are only on sale until Monday, November 26th at 11:59PM.  Get your tickets now!  See you on 12-1-12!!

Santa Sangre remastered on UK Blu-Ray and DVD

Mr Bongo Films are delighted to announce the release of one of the weirdest, strangest and visually stunning films you’ve ever seen, appealing to cineastes, horror buffs, drive-in movie fans, heads, freaks and weirdoes… It is Santa Sangre (Holy Blood), a mind trip of a film.
 
Described as one of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s finest films Santa Sangre received huge critical acclaim on its initial release, and now Mr Bongo Films presents the phenomenal masterpiece in a version that fully highlights this visual feast on DVD and Blu-ray on 5 November 2012, which has been extensively digitally remastered and comes packed full of special features.
 
Written and directed by Jodorowsky along with Claudio Argento and Roberto Leoni, Santa Sangre is a terrifying, psychedelic horror. Set in Mexico it tells the story of a boy who grows up in a circus. We follow in flashback and flash forward the young Fenix (played by Jodorowsky’s son Adan) who witnesses a horrifically brutal incident between his mother and father which sends him insane and as an adolescent (played by Jodorowsky’s older son Axel), as he is leaves an asylum into the care of his crazed, vengeful mother.
 
Alejandro Jodorowsky is a Chilean-French filmmaker, playwright, actor, author, comic writer and spiritual guru. Best known for his avant-garde films, he has been ‘venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts’ for his work which is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation. Santa Sangre is the ultimate midnight movie, the cult film to end all cult films.
 
Special Features include.
DISC ONE
• Main feature
• Optional commentary by Jodorowsky and journalist Alan Jones
DISC TWO
• Alejandro Jodorowsky's Cult Cinema
• La Constellation Jodorowsky by Louis Mouchet
• Deleted scenes with commentary from Jodorowsky and journalist Alan Jones Jodorowsky interview at ICA London (2002)
• Echek - A short film by Adan Jodorowsky (Alejandor's son and star of Santa Sangre)

Cockney's Vs Zombies - UK DVD/Blu-Ray review

The nice folks at Studio Canal have been rather generous of late sending me discs to review, so here's another one for you, "Cockneys Vs Zombies", which hits UK video shelves on DVD and Blu-Ray later this month.
 
When a group of builders unearth an ancient tomb on their construction site, it unleashes a zombie plague on the East End of London. Unawhere of what's going on around them, a group of incompetant bank robbers (including former EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan) are attempting to pull of a heist at their local branch, only to discover the neighbourhood being descimated by a zombie invasion when they emerge with their loot.
 
Taking off in their getaway van, they find the undead are on the march throughout the whole of the East end, and the authorities have sealed the area off. But with their grandparents trapped in the nearby old folks home, the group decide rather than lay low, to grab their weapons, tool up and go rescue them, producing a series of slapstick, not to mention exceptionally gory, running battles.
 
Directed by Matthius Hoene (Beyond the Rave) and featuring a stellar British cast including Alan Ford (Lock Stock, The Sweeney), Honor Blackman (Bridget Jones, TVs The Avengers - no not THAT version), Dudley Sutton (The Devils, TVs Lovejoy) and Richard Briers (TVs The Good Life and various films), this is without doubt the funniest damn zombie movie I've seen in ages.
 
Seeing all these elderly veteran British actors shooting zombies in the head with automatic weapons and pump-action shotguns really just has to be seen to be beleived and the scene where they're chasing Richard Briers with his zimmerframe round the back garden was so damn silly I almost cried laughing.
 
Whilst the film is bound to draw obvious comparisons with "Shaun of the Dead", you really need to try and forget that and view this on its own merits as it really has nothing in common with that. There's some hilarious politically incorrect humour, and a few in-jokes that zombie film fans should get and overall is bloody good fun. So if you enjoyed "Shaun of the Dead" or "Doghouse", I would definately recommend checking this out.
 
The film is released to UK DVD and Blu-Ray October 22nd by Studio Canal. Extras on the discs include 7x Behind the Scenes/Making of Features, a "Zombie School" instructional video, which was originally produced to show the extras how to move on camera and the original theatrical trailer!

Chernobyl Diaries - UK DVD review

OK, got another DVD review for you. The "Chernobyl Diaries", which is released to UK disc by Studio Canal, 22nd October.
 
The story revolves around a group of young adults who are touring round Eastern Europe on holiday, when they're given the chance to tour around the former Chernobyl Power Station and the adjacent town of Pripyat, which were evacuated in the 1980s following a Nuclear Meltdown at the plant.
 
But all is not as it seems at the former Ghost town. Initially turned down at the check point for undisclosed reasons, rather than turn back, their guide decides to take them in the back way. But as night falls and they prepare to leave, they find the van won't start and the old town is not as empty and abandoned as they were led to believe and what started as an offbeat tour, turns into a battle for survival.
 
This was actually filmed in and around the real life town of Pripyat and the Chernobyl Power Plant itself, and makes excellent use of its settings. The deserted locations really give the film a genuine creepy feeling, and a real atmosphere of desolation, which I don't think could have been acheived had this been filmed on a studio set.
 
The film is available on DVD and Blu-Ray, extras include an alternate ending, a deleted scene, a "Chernobyl Conspiracy" viral trailer, a fake infomercal for "Uri's Extreme Tours", featuring Uri the Tour Guide from the film, and the theatrical trailer.

Halloween - Back in UK Cinemas.

The ultimate Halloween film is coming back to the big screen where, and when, it belongs. The original version of John Carpenter's hugely successful 70s slasher-film went on to be the benchmark for future films of its type while it took influence from masters of suspense and horror: Hitchcock and De Palma.
 
See once more through the eyes of Michael Myers and feel the tension build with Carpenter’s celebrated soundtrack. One of the most famous horror films of them all, Halloween is back in cinemas.
 
It's Halloween 1963, a 6-year-old masked Michael Myers has just stabbed to death his older sister and condemned himself to life imprisonment. But, 15 years later, he escapes and it's only his psychiatrist Dr Loomis who foresees the horror that will ensue on that fateful Halloween night in 1978.
 
It is left to Dr Loomis to track down Myers and protect the residents of Haddonfield including the young, innocent and oblivious Laurie Strode played by a then unknown Jamie Lee Curtis. This is one Haddonfield homecoming you will never forget.
 
Halloween will open in the UK from Friday 26th October at Apollo West End and will screen across Vue and Apollo Cinemas on 31st October.

The Thompsons - UK DVD review

Lionsgate where nice enough to send me a copy of their new vampire film “The Thomspons” to review which is out on disc later this month.
 
The film is a sequel of sorts to the 2006 film “The Hamiltons”, which sees the titular family from that relocating to England and taking on new identities after being forced to flee the US, following a rather messy incident at a roadside diner.
 
Looking for a long fabled vampire clan rumoured to exist somewhere in the English countryside, one of them stumbles upon the quintessentially English village of Ludlow, only to find the picturesque village is actually harbouring a dark secret that might prove to be the death of them all.
 
Whilst the film is technically a follow up, utilising the characters created in “The Hamiltons”, plotwise its pretty much a stand alone movie as it doesn’t bring too much baggage across from the earlier film.
 
The film is a little on the slow side and is not exactly what I would call an action movie, but is quite enjoyable and brings a few interesting twists to vampire lore, and in many ways has a kind of “Hammer films” vibe to it.
 
Extras wise, the disc comes with 6x behind the scenes, making of features, which include interviews with the cast and crew, plus there’s a stack of bonus trailers for other features which play at the start of the disc.
 
If you liked The Hamiltons, then you should also enjoy this, as should general vampire movie fans.
 
The film is released to UK DVD from Lionsgate on October 15th.

Night of the Punks - Online!!!!

Just in time for the Halloween season, Irrational Films has made Dan Riesser's horror-comedy short film NIGHT OF THE PUNKS available for online streaming via YouTube (see links below).
 
In Night of the Punks, small town punk rockers The Brain Deads have their first out of town show, but there are a few problems: the venue is deserted, the promoter is a creep, their bassist has gone missing and the only kids in the audience turn out to be bloodthirsty punk rockers from Hell.
 
Drawing inspiration from Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demons and the Evil Dead series, Night of the Punks is a blood-splatted love letter to '80s horror cinema. The cast includes industry veteran Luke Edwards (The Wizard, Little Big League, Newsies), sketch comedian Nick Munday, professional wrestler Vic D. Vine and L.A. horror punk band Murderland. The short has been Official Selection at more than 25 film festivals around the world and took home numerous awards and accolades.
 
Director Dan Riesser comments, "Making Night of the Punks and taking it to festivals was an amazing experience, and I'm glad everyone now has a chance to catch it on YouTube." Riesser plans to turn the self-financed, 19-minute short into a feature film. The script is complete and the project is currently seeking funding. In the interim, Riesser is focusing on his feature directorial debut, Stomping Ground. Billed as a scary comedy about love and Bigfoot, the movie enters production this month.

RED LIGHTS is being released on UK Blu-ray, DVD and to download on 22 October 2012 from Momentum Pictures.
 
Two sceptical scientists seek to expose the trickery behind seemingly unexplainable events but face their greatest challenge to their beliefs and their lives when an enigmatic psychic resurfaces.
 
Tenacious Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver), a world renowned investigator of paranormal hoaxes together with her partner Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) study the most varied metaphysical and psychic phenomena with one aim, to prove their fraudulent origin.
 
But when legendary but elusive blind psychic Simon Silver (Robert DeNiro) emerges following a mysterious 30 year absence, the once-fearless Matheson warns her Buckley to leave this case alone for fear that Silver will retaliate and put his life in danger.
 
Empowered by his obsession to disprove Silver, Buckley enlists the help of his star student Sally Owen (Elizabeth Olsen) and uses every tool at his disposal. As Tom gets closer to Silver, whose magnetism becomes stronger with each new manifestation of inexplicable events, tension mounts, and he is forced to question his own core beliefs.
 
RED LIGHTS features an all star cast Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, Sigourney Weaver, Cillian Murphy, Toby Jones, Joely Richardson  and rising star Elizabeth Olsen.
