The Horde-2009 (French)



North of Paris. In order to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, four corrupt cops go on a rampage in a condemned building serving as the mobster's hideout. Now trapped, the officers are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of rage-fueled zombies invade the building, savagely attacking everyone. Unexpected alliances are made when their lives are threatened by the unthinkable.

Dorothy Mills

Dorothy Mills is suspected of assaulting a young baby in a contemporary but timeless rural village. She is visited by psychiatrist and outsider, Jane, who discovers that Dorothy may not be responsible for her actions and may be possessed by a horrifying and malevolent force. As she helps Dorothy, Jane is confronted with her own past tragedies - and starts to unravel another terrible secret hidden by some of the local villagers.

This clip is absolutely chilling, kind of an Exorcist/ Village of the dammed feel to it.....enjoy

ESCAPE OF THE LIVING DEAD



For those of you who are fans of the original, the co-writer John A. Russo is finally in pre-production for the film based off the Avtar Comic.
Starring:
Tony Todd, Kristina Klebe, Gunnar Hansen, Kane Hodder
Screenplay By:
John Russo
Directed By:
John Russo
Produced By:
Joseph Majestic, David Mendez, Russ Streiner, Sam Sherman
Plot Outline:
Returning to the themes of the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, John Russo's has based this on the Avatar Comic of the same name, Escape is set in the same universe as Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, picking up many years after the initial outbreak. The theory is that some of the zombies were captured for experiments and have now escaped, causing the dead to come back all over again.

ESCAPE OF THE LIVING DEAD will frighten, entertain, and pay homage to one of the most important horror franchises in film history. WE HOPE. Zombie purist should be elated right about now.

Now there is no trailer for the film yet but I did find the Facebook page which has a teaser trailer based off the scene drawings for the movie (no it will not be a cartoon). Here is that link for some reason I can't make it a hyperlink:

Strange light in the sky

UFO? Ball lightning? Meteor? Some kind of lens flare? Sauron? The last Cylon?

Infestation

Cool new Indie film,


Our hero, Cooper, awakes to find himself nauseous, weak and covered in webbing, hanging from the ceiling of an office where, just minutes ago, he started his new job. As he struggles out of his slimy prison he comes face to face with his opponent - a grotesque, powerful and very angry bug. All 3 ft of it...

And so begins a hideous, nail-biting, all-action adventure to find a safe haven while constantly outwitting an infestation of monstrous proportions. As Cooper embarks on his journey, he befriends a ragtag group of survivors including Sara, a feisty attractive female. Although the situation is dire, Cooper can't help himself from trying to solve his dating problem while trying to save his life. Will they make it to safety before they are picked off ? And what other surprises are in store for our unlikely heroes?

Outlander

As an age old battle rages amongst the stars, Kainan's ship burns brightly as it crashes into the Nordic coast. As his space craft comes to rest in the fjords of ancient Norway, it's with dismay that Kainan realizes that he wasn't the only survivor. A second passenger, a Moorwen also emerges from the wreckage. A Fierce and animal-like creature, the Moorwen is intent on causing harm to those it perceives have wronged it. As the Moorwen kills everything in its path, Kainan must work together with the Vikings to destroy the beast before it destroys them all.

New Pinhead design for Hellraiser remake

Our friends at Fangoria have a first look at the new and improved (I must say) Pinhead.
I've seen it happen too many times, most notably with Freddie Kruger, when a series hits movie number 3 things start to get corny. The maniacal fiend that made your blood run cold becomes a third rate vaudevillian tossing out one liners for yucks.
I like the idea of a grosser, bloody, more serious Pinhead.

Offspring-2009


Survivors of a feral flesh-eating clan are chowing their way through the locals. Amy Halbard and Claire Carey strive to survive their abduction by the cannibals and save their children. A subplot involving Claire's despicable husband, Steven, gives an opportunity to cleverly compare predatory civilized folk to the appetite-driven primitives.
Based on the fantastic book by Jack Ketchum (read it twice).It's kind of a lord of the flies/Hills have eyes/ Wrong turn/Texas chainsaw massacre/Blue Lagoon type of movie. (through that last one in for shits and giggles)
