March 15th will see the Region 2 DVD release of Not Forgotten, from Anchor Bay. Starring Simon Baker (Land of the Dead), Paz Vega (Spanglish) Clare Forlani (Mallrats), and soon-to-be genre fave Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass, Let Me In), it looks to be very much in the mould of Angel Heart; a hard-boiled tale with a liberal side order of voodoo.
From the press release:
“Successful businessman Jack Bishop (Baker) lives a seemingly perfect life in a peaceful town of Del Rio, Texas with his 11-year-old daughter, Toby (Moretz), and beautiful …

Anchor Bay has acquired Cine Tel Film’s remake of I Spit on Your Grave (aka Day of the Woman). You’d think with Anchor Bay’s acquisition we’d only get a DTV release, but that’s not so. Anchor Bay plans on releasing the film in the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The film will get a theatrical release sometime this fall, with a DVD/Blu release in early 2011 (I’m thinking they’re going for the October/January model).
The original 1978 film was written and directed by Meir Zarchi, and followed …

Two contests in one day? What can I say… It doesn’t happen often so you’re welcome. Frozen is a film we here at BrutalAsHell.com are very excited about. I got to catch an advance look at the film just a couple nights ago and will personally attest that I spent half the film slack-jawed. It was pure insanity. Make sure to check out Britt Hayes review of the film. I joke that Britt and I are like Siskel and Ebert as we rarely …

Right on the heels of our official review of Frozen comes news that Adam Green’s sub-zero horror flick will be getting a wide release this winter! As of this morning this was still up in the air, but thanks to that early review we were able to verify with Anchor Bay that come February 5, 2010  you’ll all be getting to enjoy this intense film in your local multiplex. And – as an added bonus you can get a look at that one-sheet again – this …

Big news day for Adam Green, writer/director of the 2006 slasher film, Hatchet. In an exclusive with Shock Til You Drop, Green says he’ll be back to write and direct Hatchet 2:
“It’s finally happening,” Green enthused. “It’s going to have double the body count, and Anchor Bay is being cool enough to allow me to make the sequel I want to make.”
The first Hatchet film starred Joel Moore (Dodgeball, Grandma’s Boy, the upcoming Avatar) as a guy whose friends drag him to New Orleans on Mardi Gras to …

Last night The Reaper Awards were held, hosted by Home Media Magazine and Dread Central. This morning we hopped online to discover who the esteemed winners were and it looks like some rather deserving folks took home a “Grimmy”.
There were several standout awards that I was very happy to see have gone to the respective recipients. First, was Alien Raiders winning the Best Direct to Video Release award. Without a doubt it was a serious contender as the film was superbly crafted by Ben Rock …

Masters of Horror: Dance of the Dead (2006)
Studio: Anchor Bay Entertainment
Directed By: Tobe Hooper
Cast: Jonathan Tucker, Jessica Lowndes, Ryan McDonald, Robert Englund
Review By: Brian McNail
 
For two seasons the television show Masters of Horror took a famed horror movie director and gave them about an hour to make a television show that resembled a more Rated R “Tales From the Crypt”.  One such episode was Tobe Hooper’s Dance of the Dead.  I stumbled upon this episode while trying to find the 2008 movie of the same title which George Newton (reviewed …

Review By: Annie Riordan
 
What comes to mind when you hear the word “Re-Animator?” Glowing green hypos? Nerdy med students? Severed heads with acute oral fixations? All of the above? You  may never have seen this film – may not even be a horror fan – but I’m willing to bet that you’ve heard of Re-Animator, the instant cult classic that splattered across the big screen in 1985.
 
Based on the 1922 …

A remote village in Cornwall is in the grip of a bizarre, unknown power. Left and right, local people are falling into depression, sickness, and untimely death. The local doctor (Williams), impeded in his efforts by the ‘superstitious’ bereaved who refuse to let him perform any autopsies, turns in desperation to the man that taught him all he knows, Sir James Forbes (Morell). …

Edges of Darkness, that intense looking indie zombie film we reported on some time ago has been picked up by Anchor Bay and is slated to hit DVD this September 22nd.  Edges of Darkness had it’s UK TV premiere late last year on Zone Horror, and now will finally see a proper release stateside.  No word on any extras at this time, but check out the newest poster art to have hit the web!  Looks pretty sweet.
Edges of Darkness seems to borrow bits and pieces from films such as Mulbury …
