"Wolves" comes to UK DVD this March.

David Hayter, screenwriter of X-Men and The Watchmen, proves he’s got some serious bite behind the camera with his directorial debut. Packed with blood, fights and plenty of frights "WOLVES" stars Game of Thrones’ Jason Momoa and X-Men’s Lucas Till, you’d be howling mad to miss this this dark and deliciously sharp horror.

 

When high-school student Cayden (Till) finds his parents have been brutally murdered, he goes on the run and arrives in the small town of Lupine Ridge, where he discovers the hairy truth to his nature…

 

The town is home to feuding clans of werewolves, and when Cayden starts to fall for the beautiful Angelina (Patterson) he finds himself as love-rival of brutal clan alpha and pureblood lycan Connor (Momoa). But can Cayden survive and get the girl as the werewolves prepare for a fight to the death?

 

As no stranger to innovative genre writing, Hayter’s script is packed with razor sharp wit – it not only has fun with the werewolf myth, but also reinvents it for modern horror fans, creating a genuinely original twist in the tail. But while it’s a coming-of-age tale at heart, Wolves doesn’t hold back on the action and horror either. There’s plenty for fans of both old school monster movies and modern horror cinema, while it still feels like a throwback to the bloodline of 1980s teen horrors, such as The Lost Boys. Especially brilliant is "Wolves"’ use of retro practical effects over CGI, recalling the transformations and make-up from classics such as The Wolf Man, An American Werewolf in London and The Howling.

There’s also a hugely enjoyable cast, as rising stars Lucas Till and Merritt Patterson making for a charming leading pair, and genre favourite Jason Momoa sinks his teeth into his villainous role with bloodthirsty relish. It’s a howler.

The film is released to UK DVD March 2nd from Altitude films and contains deleted scenes and a gag reel as extras.

Gods and Monsters release Video Nasties - Top Trump card game

Welcome to a new world of Gods and Monsters! Bringing you the very finest in retro, cult and bizarro entertainment across a variety of formats, from records to games and beyond, Gods and Monsters aims to reach a new high in low taste.

 

 

 

As our debut offering, we bring you the first in an on-going collection of Lurid Trumps – card games from your youth, revitalised and sleazified for a new generation.  The debut set is Series One of our Video Nasties collection. Finally, you can answer those nagging questions about which film would win in a fight – Cannibal Holocaust or Don’t Go In The Woods? Love Camp 7 or Blood Rites?

 

For anyone unfamiliar with the trumps format – each player holds an equal number of cards, and the first chooses a score from one of four categories – Gore Score, Gratuitous Sex, Infamy Level and Nasty Rating. The highest score wins all the top cards, and so it goes. A game of skill and luck, this will keep you battling it out for hours.

 

The cards each feature the original iconic VHS video sleeve artwork from the notorious banned Video Nasties – 72 films split across the two sets (Series Two is out in the Spring).

Lurid Trumps are printed on glossy, wipe-clean card (so feel free to drool on them!) and come housed in a clear plastic keep case. As well as the 36 cards in each series, they come with an original cover card featuring a notorious anti-nasty campaigner rendered in vivid cartoon form!

 

Lurid Trumps: Video Nasties Series One is a limited first run edition of just 200, and is sure to be highly sought after by the nasty collector. They are priced at £8.00, plus postage and handling. Pre-orders are available from January 21st on the Gods and Monsters website, and the sets will also be available from selected outlets.

 

Future Gods and Monsters releases include the recorded works of legendary wrestler Exotic Adrian Street and the lounge stylings of sleazy listening maestro Cy Payne on limited edition, coloured vinyl.

Second Sight to release "The Sleeping Room".

Following its UK premiere at FrightFest, Second Sight is proud to announce the UK rights acquisition of the acclaimed supernatural tale of Victorian revenge, "The Sleeping Room".

The directorial debut of John Shackleton (Writer/Producer Panic Button) the film will make its UK debut On-Demand and Download on 27 April 2015 and DVD on 11 May 2015. Produced by Gareth I Davies, The Sleeping Room marks Movie Mogul's second feature.

Orphaned 19 year-old Brighton call girl Blue (Leila Mimmack – Becoming Human) is sent by her violent pimp Freddie (David Sibley – Downton Abbey) and his blowsy partner Cynthia (Julie Graham – Tower Block) to meet a new punter in Brighton, unaware of the horrifying impact it will have on her life.

As Blue begins to fall for the quirky charms of her client Bill Hepworth (Joseph Beattie – Hex), she's even more intrigued by the grand Regency terraced house that he is renovating; a once infamous Victorian brothel.

Together they uncover a secret room that unlocks many dark and terrifying secrets relating to Blue's murky family past and the death of her mother. A terrible supernatural force is about to be unleashed and nobody will escape its monstrous power unless a score for a heinous felony is settled.

Awakening demons past and present, Blue is forced to confront her own in this psychological gothic nightmare that also stars Christopher Adamson (Pirates of the Caribbean), Chris Waller (Fright Night 2) and horror critic Billy Chainsaw.
