Terra Patrick is the "Angel of Darkness".

Iconic adult star Tera Patrick is going mainstream in her second horror film, "Angel Of Darkness The Legend of Lillith". "More and more adult stars are making the transition to mainstream films and mostly horror," explains Robert "Corpsy" Rhine, who is also the Publisher of Girls and Corpses Magazine adding," Tera Patrick is a name that people know are interested in for producing horror films." 

TomCat Films is headed by sales and distribution veteran Ted Chalmers. He has been involved with the sales and distribution of such well-known films as THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION, HELLRAISER, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, ONE FALSE MOVE, RE-ANIMATOR, BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR, SOCIETY and EVIL DEAD 2. Chalmers cast Patrick, Rhine and Hoffman and is going the Kickstarter route for additional financing. "The film is already financed and we have distribution but we are looking for some additional funds for special effects," explains Ted Chalmers, CEO of TomCat Films: http://tomcatfilmsllc.com/

Tera Patrick plays Mistress Selene: the assistant to Master Diablo (Rhine). The iconic and beautiful ex-adult star has a massive fan base. As the role of Selene, is she a flunky, the power behind the man, or maybe the puppet master?  Tera Patrick's Indonesian non-pornographic horror movie, Rintihan Kuntilanak Perawan (Moaning of Virgin Ghost) was Patrick's first foray into horror. Patrick's best selling memoir Sinner Takes All, was published by Penguin imprint Gotham Books

Robert "Corpsy" Rhine (Publisher/ "Deaditor-In-Chief" of Girls and Corpses Magazine) is excited to be playing the role of 'Diablo' in Angel of Darkness, "I am truly excited to be working again with TomCat Films following my roles in: Nazi Dawn, Snake Club: Revenge of The Snake Woman, Disaster Wars and Dracula's Sorority Sisters. Angel of Darkness is a killer script!"

Rachelle Nicole Hoffman (plays Lillith) is a Tattoo Model, and Piercing Artist from Phoenix Arizona. You might have seen her in Off Da Chain, Tattoo Flash or Pain Magazine. She is also the owner and operator of Ritual Addictions Tattoo in Glendale, Arizona.

David Ayres (FX Makeup) Credits: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Hills Have Eyes (1977), Tourist Trap, Empire of Ants, and Suture. He was the maker of the iconic Halloween mask for Michael Myers.

Lifeforce comes to UK Blu-Ray

Arrow Video is pleased to announce the highly anticipated deluxe Blu-ray & SteelBook editions of Tobe Hooper’s cult sci-fi classic LIFEFORCE. The restored Blu-ray discs will be released in the UK on 30th September marking the first time that the movie will be available on this format in the UK.

The carefully restored Blu-ray will also feature an extensive amount of extra features and boasts a restoration of the movie that was overseen by director Tobe Hooper himself.

When a space shuttle crew finds a mysterious spacecraft containing three human-looking creatures in a state of suspended animation, they bring them back to Earth for further investigation.
 
It's only then that scientists discover that they are in fact a race of space vampires that feed off people's life-force rather than their blood. So when they escape and run amok in London, the consequences are apocalyptic - and the shuttle crew's only survivor (Steve Railsback) seems to be the only man who can stop them.
 
Based on Colin Wilson’s novel ‘The Space Vampires’, co-written by Dan O’Bannon (Alien, Return of the Living Dead) and directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist), this lively sci-fi horror romp has a stellar cast including Peter Firth, Frank Finlay and Patrick Stewart - although it's Mathilda May's appearance as a naked female alien that attracts most attention to this day.
