In our recent interview with actor/producer Domiziano Arcangeli he told us about some of his upcoming projects, which included a post-apocalyptic styled horror called H1N1: Virus X that he both stars in as well as serves as executive producer.  Well, we just today got a look at the trailer for this upcoming independently produced horror film and I have to admit, for a film that takes the premise of a simple new strain of the flu virus and escalates it to the level of zombie like infection, it …

The Dead

316 pages
Publisher: Permuted Press
Written By: Mark E. Rogers
Review By: Annie Riordan
Zombies. They’re everywhere: on the screen, in revamped Jane Austen stories, in survival manuals and haiku, graphic novels and T-shirts. Their popularity has exploded with the turn of the new century and shows no sign of abating any time soon. I personally tend to the (admittedly small) horror section in the bookstore that is my day job, and I have seen more zombie novels and anthology collections spring up in the last 6 months …

Remember that 3 minute long trailer I posted for you all almost a year ago for a really sweet looking zombie film based in South Africa? No? Okay, well at least I’ve now found validation in bringing you some updated news. Looks like The Dead has finally wrapped and currently the producers are looking for a little distribution love. Not only that but they have a brand new trailer for you to check out.
Personally, I think you’ll get a better vibe for the feel …

Summit Entertainment has just acquired the rights to Warm Bodies, a book by Isaac Marion, and plans on turning it into the next big zombie movie. Expect to see many more of these ‘alternative’ zombie stories popping up, following the success of Shaun of the Dead and the recent Zombieland.
Warm Bodies is the story of a zombie who, much like the titular character from Brit Zombie flick, Colin, retains his consciousness and humanity, along with his desire to eat warm flesh. This zombie ‘lives’ with a pack of …

So here we are, into the second decade of the 21st century at last, and the Best-Of-Decade lists are popping up like cyberspace daisies. And overall, I think it’s fair to say this has been a good decade for horror, one that will be remembered in years to come as a key period in the genre. Yes, the output has naturally been variable, but it’s also been steady. On top of the expected DTV fare, there’ve been horror movies in the multiplexes pretty much constantly. Of course, not …

Thanks to the guys at Twitch, who are always privy to the best in international horror and general cinema, I discovered what is sure to be a wonderfully horrifying new zombie flick, Opstandelsen. Right now there’s not much information on the short, just a fantastically shot teaser that gives us a taste for what is slated to be a fifty minute short film, which will be completed later this year. The film is directed by Casper Haugegaard and as seen in the trailer Haugegaard has an …

Well sonovabeotch! It’s day three of our our Horror In Short film fest. Yesterday we highlighted Terrence Kelsey’s paranormal gore-filled horror (Spek.ter), and Monday we kicked the whole shebang off with a little bit of zombie nu-grindhouse called They Shall Pay With Rivers of Blood. Well, it’s Wednesday and we have another zombie flick to bestow upon you. Unlike They Shall Pay, Plague is a slow building suspense filled narrative a la 28 Days Later, though less with the social sub-text and more with the …

Ah, 2009…we hardly knew ye.
The year is just about over, and what a great year for horror it was. We were given some great original films like Thirst, Drag Me to Hell, and Grace, plus we finally got some bona fide classics released on DVD with the likes of Let the Right One In, Martyrs, [Rec], and Trick ‘r Treat. But, for this writer, some of the best horror this year was found pressed between the pages of some damn fine comic books. This year was filled with some great writers …

In part two of our first annual holiday gift guide, I’ll be giving you foxes a list of great horror-themed t-shirts, posters, and artwork. In part one, I gave a pretty fantastic rundown of horror toys and collectibles, and in part three I’ll be covering DVD/Blu-ray, music, and books. If you have any suggestions, leave ‘em in the comments, or send me a link on Twitter. Once again, I’ll be listing these from least expensive to most expensive.

You know… Studio’s never fail to come up with new inventive ways to hype their films, but I really have to hand it to Sony. They’ve really grasped the whole idea of social media and while I never like to be a victim of ridiculous hype it’s damn hard to not appreciate the genuine nature of the tweets pouring out from lead actress Milla Jovovich. She’s been tweeting like a mad woman – dropping inside scoops and behind the scenes details usually not ever seen until …
