Arrow Video is proving relentless in their all-out assault on horror! And this is a good thing, mind you. They’ve recently announced FOUR more releases coming up. Since there’s a lot to share we’ll shut up and get to it The Exterminator Blu-ray (Arrow Video) Scorching the streets clean…  Flamethrowers ready as the alleyways of skid [...]

by Marc Patterson There have been a small handful of films made over the years about tattoos taking on a life of their own. I’ve always found these films to be conceptually interesting, since tattoos often carry deep meaning to the bearer, ones that are often tied to a persons sense of identity, but Comforting [...]

by Marc Patterson Some of you will remember that not too long ago we talked to indie filmmaker James Bickert about his return to filmmaking and his latest grindhouse styled project Dear God No!. In keeping with the latest and greatest we’ve learned that Bickert has officially wrapped post-production and Dear God No! is ready [...]

by Marc Patterson Who doesn’t love some Italian gore? Sure, the 70′s and 80′s are long behind us, but good gore is always welcome in this household of horror. For the past few months we’ve been keeping an eye on a handful of titles from EuroObscura, a small film outfit dedicated to making splatter flicks [...]

by Marc Patterson A Lonely Place to Die appears from the outset to be a backwoods survival flick that has tapped into a rare vein of originality. Impressive considering so few filmmakers seem capable of breaking out of that trap. (See the recent French flick High Lane anyone?) A Lonely Place to Die avoids the [...]

by Marc Patterson There are quite a few releases for horror fans this week. To help steer you through the muck we’ve got a few recommended titles we think you’ll want to check out. (I can’t fathom why the hell Dylan Dog is getting any attention anywhere, since it sucked more ass than a German [...]

by Marc Patterson Late last summer I declared Spartacus: Blood & Sand to be my guilty pleasure of the summer, stating “If you took Gladiator amped up the CGI arterial spray, tossed in a crap load of nudity and sex, and dumbed down the entire plot until all you’re left with is a total carnal [...]

by Dustin Hall Saturday was a much quieter day at the con, unusual for what is traditionally the most star-laden and packed day of the event. It was certainly had the fastest selling tickets, but with Sony and Fox having blown their loads the previous days, and WB & Marvel Films sitting this year out, [...]

by Dustin Hall Today was the big film day at the San Diego Comicon, and Hall H was packed to the gills with people wanting to see some trailers from 2012′s cinematic releases. Those who braved the 2-hour wait in line were rewarded, though, with some fine treats. Underworld 4: Awakenings – Leading the pack [...]

by Marc Patterson Bigger doesn’t always guarantee better in Hollywood. But this new trailer for Contagion has kinda got me hooked. Having Steven Soderbergh direct with Matt Damon and Marion Cotillard headlining is impressive, but when supported by a stellar cast that includes Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, and Gwyneth Paltrow we end up [...]

By Dustin Hall Horror is big at the San Diego Comic-Con this year. Real big. While the industry has always been present at Comic-Con, with classic gems like EC Comics and back issues of Famous Monsters of Filmland becoming collectors items. The subculture is ever-present. However, in recent years, horror films seem to be popping [...]

by Marc Patterson Satanism, hitmen, and a high-octane adrenaline pumping thriller set against the eternally drab backdrop of modern Ukraine? Three words: Hell yes, please! Thanks to TotalFilm we got the first look at Ben Wheatley’s newest film, Kill List, and it’s really setting him up to be a powerful director to watch out for. [...]

by Marc Patterson As an avid reader of The Walking Dead comics I’m fully aware that this zombie saga takes a high road through a genre otherwise typified by low-brow splatter effects and cheap writing. The Walking Dead isn’t a zombie series. It’s a series about our humanity under duress, set against a post-apocalyptic backdrop [...]

Fantastic Fest is proud to announce our first wave of programming for the seventh edition of Fantastic Fest, happening September 22-29 in Austin, Texas. This batch of 20 films spans the globe from Japan, Belgium, Mexico, Russia, Hong Kong, Korea and of course the USA. We’re debuting digital restorations of Italian horror classics and a [...]

It’s a summer of sex and violence thanks to Synapse Films. This summer things heat up with the release of Christina Lindberg’s final screen role in Wide Open. Christina Lindberg and Solveig Andersson met before in the violent cult-classic Thriller: A Cruel Picture and Swedish Hellcats. They meet yet again in Wide Open. Taxi driver [...]

by M. Patterson Here’s a case of when a good film gets some garbage treatment. I’m shocked. I thought Magnet Releasing, who has had a stellar track record with horror flicks, could do better. What happened to creating awesome posters like they did for Let the Right One In or The House of the Devil? [...]
