by Marc Patterson Not too long ago I sat down to a second viewing of Laid to Rest. Back when it originally came out I was underwhelmed by its seeming lack of originality. For me it was just another photocopied and formulated bit of hack n’ slash that I had seen hundreds (yes, literally hundreds) [...]

by Marc Patterson It was March of 2010 that we first got a glimpse of Tucker And Dale vs. Evil when it premiered at the SXSW film festival. If you ask me that’s a damn long time (too long) to have to wait for a film that our own Britt Hayes called “a perfect horror [...]

by Marc Patterson I’ve been trying hard to be good with my cash, but there are quite a few films coming out in the next month that are going to destroy whatever budget I have. 13 Assassins is one of those films that’s compounding my financial situation – because it’s one I must have! Upon [...]

by Marc Patterson We just got our hands on the official hi-res poster for Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. If there’s one thing you can count on – the title to this film is a little ironic. I’m pretty sure this film will actually cause me to piss my pants a little. I am [...]

MPI/Dark Sky Films has just announced the official release date for Wake Wood, one of the first feature productions in more than three decades from the classic horror studio Hammer Films, on Blu-ray and DVD. Wake Wood marks a bold return to the gripping stories and atmospheric visual style that made Hammer productions the gold [...]

by Marc Patterson While I was out at the pub ripping it up with some buddies celebrating the Boston Bruins winning the Eastern Conference Championship, Jeremy Gillespie of Astron 6 was sending me the final trailer for Father’s Day. Seriously, I don’t know about all of you, but my Memorial Day Weekend has gotten off [...]

by Marc Patterson If you were a fan of Joon-ho Bong’s The Host, then you’ll likely want to pay attention. There’s new creature feature from Korea’s CJ Entertainment that is sure to have a few heads turning. The film is called Sector 7, and it is focused on a deep sea oil drilling team that [...]

by Cory J Udler Fuck, guys, I’m sorry. It’s been months since I’ve submitted anything to BrutalAsHell.com and I wish I had an excuse for my absence. Oh, wait. I do. I’ve been shooting my latest movie Mediatrix. I’m still planning on a few shoots, just some pickup scenes and insert shots, but the edit [...]

by Marc Patterson I wasn’t going to bother commenting on the whole Carrie remake/Megan Fox for the role of Carrie (possibly) news. After all, it seemed like the biggest bit of non-news buzzing around the world wide horror web yesterday. Plus, who really gives a shit? I certainly don’t. Like any good horror fan, I [...]

by Marc Patterson Got a few announcements for films you may want to look out for in the coming months. It starts with the film everyone seems to be chatting about as if it were the second coming of Christ. Hell, since the good Lord hasn’t returned it might as well be. (Here’s lookin’ at [...]

by Marc Patterson Any jack off can (and will) make a horror flick with some cheap Wal-Mart special handy-cam. It takes a special sort of jack off to grab some good old 16mm and carve out a sickening and depraved tribute to Bikersploitation and Ozploitation all wrapped up into one oozing good time. The guys [...]

by Marc Patterson Rob Zombie seems like he’s bound and determined to win back the fan base he’s lost with an epic streak of bad films that range from mediocre to downright piss-poor. The Devil knows I love his work in both music and music video’s, but when it comes to getting behind the camera [...]

by Marc Patterson Earlier today IGN premiered the first official poster for Shark Night 3D, which might prove to top last year’s Piranha 3D in water based horror. Now, we have the poster (free of pesky watermarks) for you to enjoy in super high resolution. Take one down, and pass it along. (Click to get [...]

Brutal Talk: Chatting with Drew Daywalt Interview conducted by Marc Patterson, May 2011 It’s always really awesome for us when we get to talk to figures in the horror community who we love, and whose work we admire on a personal level. Drew Daywalt is one of those guys. A talented filmmaker and director he [...]

by Marc Patterson Screen Daily got an exclusive on a new sci-fi/horror film that’s officially sitting on our “must-see” list. Magnet Releasing, a more genre-oriented arm of Magnolia Pictures, has acquired US distribution rights to Beyond the Black Rainbow. No word on timetables for release have been spoken about yet. Beyond the Black Rainbow is [...]

by Marc Patterson Finally we’ve gotten a real teaser at what is in store for us in the upcoming season of True Blood. This is about as close as we want to come to spoiling anything, but if you’re like us you’ve been anxious to get a look at the witches of season four and [...]
