Tape 407 comes crashing to UK DVD

Coming soon to UK DVD. When a plane hits extreme turbulence mid-flight, the relentless weather attack causes panic and terror amongst the passengers until the plane ultimately crashes in a remote government-testing area.

The handful of survivors from the crash, bloody and disorientated, are then insistently pursued in the darkness by unknown predators that, unbeknownst to them, are part of the government’s top-secret Mesa Experiment.

The film is being released to UK DVD by After Dark/G2 Pictures on July 2. No news of what extras will be included on the disc, if any.

Beyond the Grave - in Chicago

Brazilian Horror Feature "Beyond the Grave" (aka PORTO DOS MORTOS), produced by Lockheart Filmes Ltda., will be playing at the Chicago Latino Film Festival on April 21st. Written and directed by Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro (who's also producing with Isidoro B. Guggiana), BEYOND THE GRAVE follows the unstoppable hunt of a vengeful cop (Rafael Tombini) for a supernatural serial killer.

On its film festival circuit, the Brazilian fantasy feature has gained international acclaim, being also selected for the Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano (Cuba) and has won two awards: Best Horror Feature Award, at the Arizona Underground Film Festival, and Audience Choice Award for Best Latin American Feature at Montevideo Fantástico (Uruguay).

Shot in the city of Porto Alegre, south of Brazil, BEYOND THE GRAVE is an art-house mixture of road movie, spaghetti western and different horror sub-genres such as zombie and black magic. "I tried to bring in everything I had learned about cinema and humanity from the beginning of my conscious life till the moment of locking the final cut.  I think we should be respectful of genre, of course, but a rigid tone is more important than a rigid genre. Were in an age where amalgamations are common nature in art. Cinema shouldn't be excluded", believes the Brazilian filmmaker.

The film makers are hoping to secure distribution deals to release the film commercially in the near future.

Clive Owen deals with "Intruders"

The lives of two families living in different countries are disrupted by a menacing faceless intruder who wants to take possession of their children. Although no one can see him, Hollow Face lurks in corners desperately desiring love but only knowing how to spread fear and hate.

In Spain, a mother (Pilar Lopez de Ayala) tries to protect her son Juan (Izan Corchero) from an invasion in her family and home, whilst in Britain a terrifying being creeps into John Farrow’s (Clive Owen - Shoot Em Up) life after his beloved 13-year-old daughter Mia (Ella Purnell) has petrifying dreams of a demon that becomes a real danger. As the presence becomes more powerful, the anxiety and tension increase when the parents also witness the apparitions and it seems that despite all desperate attempts, no security measure can keep Hollow Face out.

This British and Spanish joint project was created by visionary director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later). Kerry Fox (Shallow Grave), Daniel Bruhl (Inglourious Basterds) and Carice Van Houten (Valkyrie, Repo Men) also star.

Intruders creeps onto UK DVD and Blu-ray on May 21, as well as being available for Digital download.

The Horror Channel launches "Horror Club"

The Horror Club, created by Horror Channel, will open its ghoulish doors for the first time at The Horse Hospital venue in London, on Thursday 3rd May from 7pm with a special screening of Alex Chandon’s riotously gore-soaked INBRED.

This special event, open to all horror fans, will be introduced by Horror Channel's Emily Booth and genre expert/ writer Billy Chainsaw. Chainsaw will interview Chandon after the screening. Chandon, an award-winning writer and director, is probably best known for his outrageous genre feature films PERVIRELLA and CRADLE OF FEAR.

Entry is free and seats can be won by entering a competition exclusively through  Horror Channel. Click HERE to enter.

Emily Booth, who has a cameo role in the film, commented: “Horror Club is a chance for Horror Channel to give something back to the fans, who'll not only get to see a cool new horror flick but with an exclusive audience of like minded people. We want to evoke the atmosphere of that midnight movie screening - mates, drinks, laughs and thrills! And on a more serious note fans will also get to meet the director and of course us nice chaps at the Horror Channel."

INBRED, which went down a storm at this year’s FrightFest, is an hilariously warped nightmare with nowt taken out. Four young urban offenders and their two care workers embark on a community service weekend in the remote Yorkshire village of Mortlake. Before you can say ‘Ey up’, they upset the yokels with their city ways and put themselves in the gravest of dangers. This best bad taste un-PC gore-soaked riot is more fun than a ferret down the trousers…oh, wait a minute, that’s in there too…

Cast includes Jo Hartley, James Doherty, Seamus O’Neill, James Burrows & Nadine Rose Mulkerrin

It will be released in the UK by Anchor Bay later on in the year.

TV: Sky 319 / Virgin 149 / Freesat 138
