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 [...]

by Marc Patterson I’ve seen some pretty nasty “underground” gore flicks from overseas during my years as a cult horror fan. The Guinea Pig films and Lucker the Necrophageous rank up there as the most stomach churning of them all, but I have to say – I think The Burning Moon will give both of [...]

by Marc Patterson Fans of the late great Jean Rollin should take note. Back in October it was announced that Kino Lorber had acquired Redemption Films and had plans to re-release their library of Jean Rollin films. Now we have an official date, as well as some info on those releases to share. On January [...]

by Marc Patterson It’s our policy at BrutalAsHell.com that we don’t post clips of upcoming films. Trailers tend to be spoilerish enough. Clips, posted merely for the sake of hyping a film, ruin too much of the fun, and moreso, shouldn’t be newsworthy. But you know what? It’s Christmas and goddammit but people seem to [...]

by Marc Patterson We previously announced the release date and DVD cover art for Adrián García Bogliano’s film Cold Sweat. Today we’ve been sent the official trailer from our friends over at Dark Sky Films. As with his preceding films writer/director Adrián García Bogliano continues to play on the familiar theme of “women in peril” [...]

by Marc Patterson I can’t believe I just sat through this pile of steaming feces. The newly released trailer for Dracula 3D has to be the worst cut trailer I’ve seen all year, and I don’t mean that with any hint of hyperbole. It’s truly horrendous. It makes a laughing stock of Rutger Hauer, Asia [...]

by Marc Patterson As a rule we’re not prone to make posts that center on a “first clip” or “first official still”. For the most part that’s just another form of meaningless hype. But in the case of Stiches, I’m willing to break our rule – or at least bend it a bit. The film [...]

by Marc Patterson I feel like a huge stanky douchebag supreme. It’s Friday and back on Monday I was supposed to share this news with you. But I didn’t. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I’m simply busy and forgetful. If I don’t count the items I need to have whenever I leave [...]

by Marc Patterson Having premiered last April at SXSW, Cold Sweat is finally coming home, courtesy of Dark Sky Films. As with his preceding films (Rooms for Tourists and 36 Pasos) writer/director Adrián García Bogliano continues to play on the familiar theme of “women in peril” with Cold Sweat, his third major feature that creates [...]

by Ben Bussey If there’s one filmmaker we’ve really been missing around these parts lately, it’s Neil Marshall. He’s long since been one of our favourite directors at Brutal As Hell, responsible for some of the most entertaining genre movies to come out of the 21st century thus far. Alas, since his Roman legion ass-kicker [...]

by Ben Bussey I know, few things scream ‘slow news day’ more than some paparazzi cleavage shots. However, in this case it’s worth sitting up taking notice not just because of the cleavage, but also because these are the first images to come from the set of Byzantium, Neil Jordan’s first horror film for some time.  Jordan’s one of [...]

by Ben Bussey So – remember how that Cabin In The Woods teaser poster that came online a couple of days ago seemed all enigmatic, giving barely a hint of what we might expect from the film? Well, what do you know – along comes a trailer, courtesy of Yahoo, that would appear to piss all [...]

by Ben Bussey Is it a lost MC Escher? A new Lament Configuration? The must-have toy of Christmas 2011? Nope, it’s the new poster for the long-delayed The Cabin In The Woods, which premiered today over at Ain’t It Cool. It’s fair to say this is pretty far removed from the initial teaser poster (left) [...]

by Ben Bussey Englund and Forsythe together at last. Is this the horror equivalent of De Niro and Pacino in Heat? Spacey and Jackson in The Negotiator? Diesel and Rock in Fast Five? The debut feature from director Glen Ciano, Inkubus is coming to Region 2 DVD in the new year from Trinity X. They’re [...]

by Ben Bussey When we talk about contemporary extreme cinema, we always seem to be most concerned with pinpointing the films which we percieve to be pushing the boundaries; the ones that challenge everyday preconceptions about what is and is not acceptable, be it on a social, sexual, political, spiritual, moral, ethical and/or ideological level, [...]

by Marc Patterson It looks like Howard and Jon Ford’s African zombie flick – The Dead will FINALLY be hitting DVD and Blu-ray in the US. Anchor Bay Entertainment has announced that they will release The Dead on both DVD and Blu-ray formats on February 14th, which will make Valentine’s Day pretty awesome this year. [...]
