R2 Films, distributor of such horror classics as Killer Biker Chicks and They Must Eat (okay that was a bit offside) has picked up distribution rights to Zombie Girl: The Movie and is set to give it a November release.  No specific date beyond “November” has been given yet.
I can’t believe that it was over a year ago that I first saw and celebrated one of the most endearing, and totally NOT horror movies on this site.  No, Zombie Girl: The Movie is not a zombie movie, but …

So Frightfest 2010 is over. It was my first time at the festival, and all things considered it was a rewarding, enjoyable five days, from Hatchet 2 at 6.30pm on Thursday, all the way through to The Last Exorcism at 9.30 on Monday… except, alas, I wasn’t there for that one. Indeed, I regret to inform I missed quite a few of the screenings, including all the post-11 pm shows due to my need to catch the last tube home every night. Who knows, all being well the …

I don’t really know what to say about this.  No really, I don’t.  So I’m just going to ramble while a stream of consciousness washes over me like pollution filled lake water.  When I saw the DVD cover art I literally laughed out loud.  That to your left is probably some of the most funny shit I’ve seen all day.  No synopsis in the world will do this film justice. None. Clearly if you’re a discriminating horror fan of taste or refinement you can fuck off now.  All …

(WARNING: This article contains spoilers for True Blood season 3, episode 11.)
Last night’s penultimate episode set the framework for the explosive and blood-soaked finale. At least I hope it’s blood-soaked – after all this faerie and were-panther-meth business, I’m not sure we’ll get the bang we got with Mary Ann last season.
Sookie is trapped in Eric’s basement, and Bill expectedly arrives to save the day. Pam tries to level with him – they need Sookie to lure Russell in…and this is where I get frustrated. Just tell Bill, …

Hey guys, your international correspondent coming to you once again from London’s Frightfest with a neat little scoop. Adam Green and Joe Lynch, two guys who really, really love Frightfest, announced today that they are collaborating with fellow writer/directors Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City) and Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs) on a horror anthology pastiche entitled Chillerama, which Green and Lynch describe as a tribute to the dying culture of the drive-in.
As Lynch (Wrong Turn 2) summed it up to the Frightfest audience, “It’s the last night in the …

Adam Wingard is one of the few directors I’ve made a point to support at every turn, despite the fact that the majority of his films lean too much towards “art house” for the likings of most horror junkies. I really enjoyed Pop Skull, (review here), a phenomenal psychological horror film shot on a paltry $3,000. We just posted a couple of his ‘Laura Panic’ shorts not long ago. Back in March we got a look at his first production still from A Horrible Way …

According to Deadline Neil Marshall is set to get into the directors seat on a rather unique film of exquisite taste and refinement. The film in question is Underground, a David Cohen penned film that is “set in the world of gourmet underground supper clubs“. I’m pretty sure that by “underground” and “gourmet” we’re not talking about the sequel to Ratatouille.
Marshall makes a good choice for such a film like this, which clearly alludes to cannibalism in the first degree. His taste for …

It’s Friday and that means it’s time for another indie horror round-up. This ongoing feature attempts to shed some light on all the great shit that’s happening outside the churn and burn studio system by focusing on the guys and gals who are pouring their blood, guts, and wallets into carving out cinema for die hard fans of the genre. It’s DIY or Die baby!
This past week featured some rather cool happenings from the land of the independents. We’ve got news, trailers, clips, …

In a move that is surprising, and yet at the same time not, the organisers of London’s FrightFest have announced that A Serbian Film, originally set to be the 9pm show at the festival this coming Saturday, is no longer to be screened at the festival. The news was broken by Screenjabber, who quote Frightfest organiser Alan Jones’ official statement:
Film4 FrightFest has decided not to show A Serbian Film in a heavily cut version because, as a festival with a global integrity, we think a film of this …
