by Marc Patterson “You’ve got a bad attitude, buster”. Those were words spoken to me with disgust by my first grade recess teacher after I got in a fight with the schoolyard bully. Bullies? Fuck them. No one was going to push me around. I might end up eating dirt, but not without kicking as [...]

by Marc Patterson My traveling lifestyle has prevented me from being as active on here as I’ve liked lately, but nothing warms my bloody innards more than coming home to news that one of my favorite films from 2011 has just cut a distro deal. That’s right dirtbags, Dear God No!, that insanely fun bit [...]

by Keri O’Shea  If nothing else, keeping an eye on the current obsessions and predilections of the British Board of Film Classifications gives us film fans an interesting perspective on our own times. For good or ill, they can be seen to distil certain attitudes; what they heavily censor in one decade, they’ll seem to [...]

by Marc Patterson If you’ve been following this website for any length of time you know I love me some backwoods horror. Sure, you can toss me some Japanese splatter, or Roger Corman schlock any day, but for me nothing is as exhilarating as a well made man vs. nature flick. Lately, Liam Neeson has [...]

by Marc Patterson Where the hell have I been? And how in the hell did I miss this headline two days ago? We love Ti West news around these parts. I must be losing it. The latest news from the town of tinsel is that Liv Tyler, who I will forever associate with Armageddon and [...]

by Marc Patterson Here’s some killer news for fans of Hammer Horror. Yesterday Hammer announced that they would be partnering with several film outlets to bring over 30 of their classic horror flicks to Blu-ray in the coming months and years. This considerable undertaking will result in what appears to be both UK and US [...]

by Ben Bussey Not content with taking over London’s Empire Leicester Square every August Bank Holiday long weekend, Film4 FrightFest also take a bite out of the annual Glasgow Film Festival in February, and they’ve just announced the films to be shown at the event this year at the Glasgow Film Theatre. FrightFest’s co-director Alan [...]

by Ben Bussey I’m not sure how closely any of us having been following the progress of the Hack/Slash movie. The big screen adaptation of Tim Seeley’s comic has been in development hell for what feels like eons; note that the cover to the left mentions Rogue Pictures, who have since ceased to be. Frankly I’d [...]

by Ben Bussey Adam Wingard is one of those filmmakers I’ve long since heard good things about, but whose work I have never yet had a chance to see. Marc sings his praises widely, and I know a lot of people were surprised when his latest – A Horrible Way To Die - didn’t make the main screen selection [...]

by Nia Edwards-Behi Earlier today the trailer for horror legend Tobe Hooper’s latest film Djinn hit the internet. Apparently the Abu Dhabi-based production company Imagenation has had to reassure horror fans that the film is actively in post-production, following rumours that the film would be shelved due to it being ‘politically subversive’. Whether these are [...]

by Ben Bussey Man, we really couldn’t have timed our Japanese Exploitation month better, could we? Somebody up there likes us. The planets have alligned, and the Gods of Bad Taste have bestowed upon us gift upon gift: first the Rape Zombie trailer, then the Red Sword trailer, and now the trailer for Noboru Iguchi’s Zombie [...]

by Marc Patterson I love those guys at Twitch. They showcase the coolest shit. Today, while I’m slaving away in my cube I get an email from Todd Wieneke, the mastermind of Mandom, to check out the ridiculously awesome trailer for Red Sword, Asami’s latest erotica filled splatter fest. This one promises to tell the [...]

by Marc Patterson I thought getting the Zombie 2-Disc Ultimate Edition from Blue Underground last October was the shit. (Well, actually it was), but Anchor Bay just kicked over the most exciting Blu-ray release news this year. (Yes, all 9 days of it). On March 20th Anchor Bay is releasing Battle Royale to Blu-ray for [...]

by Marc Patterson Hey cult cinema film geeks, there’s a new messageboard in town. It’s called A Horrible Place, and it’s a sickening den of depraved lowlifes talking about all kinds of nasty shit. If you like loathsome, ornery, vile and vulgar films like Ichi the Killer, Female Prisoner Scorpion, City of the Living Dead, [...]

by Ben Bussey Well, how’s about this for timing? No sooner do we declare January to be Japanese Exploitation month, than the first trailer and poster pop up for a new Japanese movie that sounds - how to put this - more than a little provocative. But then, it’s the new movie from Naoyuki Tomamatsu, the director behind such sedate and tasteful [...]

by Ben Bussey If I hadn’t thought of that headline I probably wouldn’t even be posting this, but here we go: Bloody-Disgusting reports that Lily Collins (yes, daughter of Phil and his obviously better looking wife) looks set to be the first person cast in the hotbed of gorehound unrest that is the Evil Dead remake. As you [...]

by Marc Patterson I’ve been dicking around all day today thinking about writing five simple sentences but not quite getting a single one out. Then I realized something – just start writing, dumbass! Works everytime. See, I’m almost up to five sentences already. Hey, did all you fuckers know that we just celebrated our third [...]
