The Town That Dreaded Sundown Remake/Sequel Trailer Online Now

 
The trailer for the Town That Dreaded Sundown remake has made its way online. Though it shares the same title as the original film and is being called a remake, the plot description makes this sound like a sequel:

Based on a terrifying true story, The Town That Dreaded Sundown picks up sixty-five years after a masked serial killer terrorized the small town of Texarkana, when the "moonlight murders" begin again. Is it a copycat or something even more sinister? A lonely high school girl, with dark secrets of her own, may be the key to catching the murderer.

This sequel and/or remake (sequemake? requel?) looks to be more of a straight slasher film than the original which I'm okay with because the "slasher" parts of the original film are actually pretty intense and suspenseful and while this may be an unpopular opinion; I personally think the documentary voiceovers and the ill-fitting comedy really dragged the original film down. Sure, this could still totally suck ass, but it looks decent enough to me, I'll give it a look when it comes out October 16th. Check out the trailer below:

V/H/S Viral Trailer Promises Plenty of Scary Shit

The Cannes Sales Trailer for the third V/H/S film has hit the internets today. It'll be hard to top the second one - or more specifically Gareth Evans' incredible Safe Haven segment from the second one, but I've enjoyed the first two so I'm certainly down for this one. Check the trailer below:

Heil Five! New Dead Snow 2 Trailer

Wow, I completely missed the fact that the trailer for Dead Snow 2 showed up online last night. I remember being a bit let down by the first Dead Snow, but this one looks like a lot of fun. Plus, Martin Starr looks to have a sizable role in this - I've been a fan of the guy since Freaks and Geeks (Bill Haverchuck was easily the best character on the show) so it's always good to see him in something other than little TV show bit parts.

Also starring New Jason (and Kickpuncher!) Derek Mears and everyone's favorite Jenna Haze-looking commercial actress Ingrid Haas.

Pitch A Tent At Camp Dread

Earlier today Bloody Disgusting posted an exclusive first look at the DVD cover for the upcoming film Camp Dread with Eric Roberts, Danielle Harris and Felissa Rose. The cover art isn't particularly groundbreaking, but the premise actually sounds really cool:

“The “Summer Camp” horror trilogy was one of the most popular franchises of the 1980s. However, the decade ended and so did director Julian Barrett’s career. Now Barrett plans to resurrect his gory series via a modern reboot patterned after reality filmmaking. With his former leading lady and an eclectic group of 10 young “contestants,” Barrett returns to the same locale where his old splatter-fests were filmed. When one of the campers is found savagely murdered, they realize there’s more at stake than just fame and fortune. Each of them is in a fight for their lives as they realize summer is over – forever.”

I'm a sucker for any kind of film within a film scene. A movie scene filmed by characters in a movie like The Mutants of 2051 AD from Strange Brew, or an entire movie that takes place behind the scenes of a movie like Day for Night or Living In Oblivion, I eat stuff like that right up so Camp Dread sounds like something I'll really enjoy.

We'll be able to check this one out April 15th. For now, here's an exclusive shot from Dread Central of Danielle Harris as the cutest cop since Edwina 'Ed' McDunnough:

Machine Head From Anchor Bay March 25th

From the Press Release
Spring Break. The two words together connote those heady days when academia stops for a week and unbridled hedonism reigns. Spring Break means fun, sun, and sex. But in Los Ranchos, CA, it also means… abject terror! From Anchor Bay Entertainment comes the March 25th DVD release of Machine Head.

With a hot young cast including Sharon Hinnendael (Embrace of the Vampire, Rites of Passage), Nicole Zeoli (The Telling, Zoey to the Max), Cristina Corigliano (Last Day on Earth, Sand Sharks), Morissa O’Mara (Hanna’s Gold, Devolved), and Alana O’Mara (The Cottage, Hanna’s Gold), Machine Head promises a permanent rest from studies!

The deserts of Los Ranchos, CA, aren’t your standard spring break destination, but it’s p-a-r-t-y time when a young girl's wealthy father gives her the keys to his amazing desert ranch house. She and her hot girlfriends plan a wild spring break vacation getaway to take full advantage of this lavish vacation oasis. But like all good intentions, the road it paves becomes a living hell…

During the drive to the house, the girls find themselves terrorized by a mysterious black muscle car on the highway. They soon realize they have been lured into a sick game of high-octane terror. Machine Head unleashes a motorized fury unlike anything they’ve ever seen. The girls will do whatever it takes to cross the finish line alive!

Machine Head was chosen as the title when the original title was rejected; The Second Half of Death Proof: The Movie.  Stupid joke aside, that last sentence does make this sound an awful lot like the non-boring half of Death Proof.

Christina Ricci is Lizzie Borden

Weird, a Lifetime movie I might actually watch.

 “It’s not just a disturbing nursery rhyme! Now the true story of how Lizzie Borden murdered her parents (or did she?) in the summer of 1892 is being brought to Lifetime, with Christina Ricci as the eponymous Lizzie. The true-crime case captured national attention when it first happened, proving that Americans obsession with scandalous and sordid tales is nothing new.”

New Trailer For Nurse - In 3-D For No Apparent Reason

Looks like Douglas Aarniokoski's film Nurse 3D is finally set to come out February 7th of next year on VOD and will also receive a limited theatrical run.

This movie's release has been a long time coming, I read about it in Maxim the last time Katrina Bowden was on the cover, which was well over a year ago (the issue also mentioned "the upcoming Piranha 3DD", to give you some idea of how long ago that was). Glad to see it's finally coming out, I always liked Katrina on 30 Rock and she was one of the very few bright spots of Piranha 3DD. Check out the trailer below and try to figure out why this movie is in 3D,

Devil's Due Wins For Most Offensive Poster Of The Year

Bloody Disgusting posted a first look at a brand new International trailer for Devil's Due, and as you can see below, this is one sick and twisted poster.

It's completely disgusting and offensive, and I love it. Be sure to head out to check this one out in theaters January 17th. I'm guessing the poster featuring the bloody pregnant woman being crucified on an inverted cross will not be hanging up on any theater walls here in the US.

“After a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple finds themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy. While recording everything for posterity, the husband begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially write off to nerves, but, as the months pass, it becomes evident that the dark changes to her body and mind have a much more sinister origin.”

Mesmerizing New Trailer For The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears

Brand new trailer is up for Hélène Cattet, and Bruno Forzani's upcoming Giallo The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears, or for the French of you out there "L'étrange couleur des larmes de ton corps". The European theatrical release is scheduled for early next year, no news yet on a US release date.

Megafoot - Coming Eventually To A Theater Near You...

Sadly there isn't a Megafoot movie to go with this fantastic poster yet, but it is in production and should be on the way soon. If the movie is half as great as the poster this could be the best Bigfoot movie ever made.

Gothic Lolita Battle Bear - From The Director of Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead

Take a look at the brand new trailer for Gothic Lolita Battle Bear, the latest bit of what-the-fuckery from Iguchi Noboru, based on a book by Ohtsuki Kenji. Be on the lookout for stuffed animal bondage, titty lasers, and a teddy bear punching a fart out of a zombie.

The Editor - From The Creators of Manborg

Earlier today ShockTillYouDrop shared this outstanding poster for Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy's upcoming giallo-inspired The Edtior. It's glorious.
\

The film concerns film editor Rey Cisco (played by Adam Brooks), a man who works tirelessly and has four wooden fingers on his right hand.  Stress plagues his life and things take a turn when the body count begins to rise at the studio he works for.  As the description goes, "as this meta-movie build to a frenzied climax, you're forced to question everything you've seen."

You're Next - Hits VOD December 27th, Blu-ray/DVD January 14th

From Bloody Disgusting:

Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett’s You’re Next will be slashing its way to home video on January 14, 2014. It will hit VOD prior to video on December 27. Special features include: “No Ordinary Home Invasion: The Making Of You’re Next” featurette, Audio commentary with Director Adam Wingard, Writer Simon Barrett and Actors Sharni Vinson and Barbara Crampton, and Audio commentary with Director Adam Wingard and Writer Simon Barrett.

I missed this one when it was in theaters and I've been regretting it ever since.  Can't wait to check it out in January, just wish it was coming a bit sooner.

Blood, Tits & Satanic Albinos In New Trailer For 'Muck'

A new trailer has just hit for Steve Wolsh's upcoming film Muck, starring a staggering amount of hot women and Kane Hodder as Grawesome Crutal - which bests both Horace Pinker and Clear Rivers on the list of dumbest horror character names of all time. I kid, despite the character name sounding pretty ridiculous character name I think this one looks like it could be a lot of gory fun.

This is apparently the first in a trilogy of films, with the prequel "Offed" already in pre-preduction.

After narrowly escaping an ancient burial ground, long forgotten and buried underneath the marshes of Cape Cod, a group of friends emerge from the thick, marshy darkness, tattered and bloody, lucky to be alive. They have already lost two of their friends in the marsh, presumably dead. They stumble upon an empty Cape Cod vacation house alongside the foggy marsh and break in to take shelter. Whatever was in the marsh is still after them, and soon after one of them goes for help, the rest of the group learns that the evil in the marsh is not the only thing that wants them dead. Something worse, something more savage, was lying in wait just outside the marsh, in the house. What happens next is unspeakable, horror that cannot be unseen. These unlucky travelers spend their St. Patrick's Day trapped between two evils forcing them to fight, die, or go back the way they came.

Get The Muck Out

Chastity Bites This November

Weirdsmobile Productions is thrilled to unleash the Official Trailer for CHASTITY BITES in anticipation of its Digital and Cable release from GRAVITAS VENTURES on November 1, 2013.
CHASTITY BITES has been traveling the world with having its European premiere this past weekend at the 19th edition of the Lund International Fantastic Film Festival in Sweden and even winning the Best Directing Award at 2013 Montreal HorrorFest this past Summer. The film continues to jet-set across the country at multiple festivals with upcoming screenings at the Spooky Movie International Horror Festival in Washington D.C. and Orlando Film Festival. The film will also be available on home video in February 2014 from Grand Entertainment.

The film stars Allison Scagliotti (Syfy's "Warehouse 13"), Francia Raisa (ABC Family's "Secret Life of the American Teenager"), Louise Griffiths (The Revenant), Eddy Rioseco (ABC's "Parenthood"), Amy Okuda ("The Guild"), Sarah Stouffer (Bloomington), Lindsey Morgan (ABC's "General Hospital"), Jennifer Gimenez (Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"), Greer Grammar (MTV's "Awkward"), and Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator).

Synopsis
Elizabeth Bathory believed that bathing in virgin blood would keep her young and beautiful forever. Still alive today, she's found a perfect hunting ground for her "botox" as an abstinence educator in conservative America... but will a brave young blogger and reporter for the high school paper finally put an end to the Blood Countess' reign of terror and save her best friend from becoming the next victim? 

I personally don't love the poster art - it's like a cheap indie comedy-giallo comic or something. I do think this trailer looks promising though,and even if it sucks, hey, Stuart Gordon is in the movie. That's gotta be worth something. I look forward to checking it out when it hits VOD November 1st. Also be on the lookout for the DVD release in February.

Big Ass Spider Trailer Promises A Big Ass Spider. Delivers.

Mike Mendez's Big Ass Spider is coming to theaters and VOD October 18th, and you can take a peek at the full trailer below. Looks like it could be okay, though it is rated PG-13. I don't need tits and gore to enjoy a movie, but the last giant spider movie I saw was Eight Legged Freaks, which was also PG-13 and we all know how that turned out.

Argento's Dracula Gets Misleadingly Awesome Poster

Pretty much everyone who has seen Dario Argento's 3-D Dracula knows that it's anything but awesome. Dreadful, ridiculous and hilarious, sure. Awesome? Nope. For the US theatrical release (why?) IFC has decided to try and dupe everyone into thinking otherwise by commissioning this incredible piece of art for the theatrical poster.

I say avoid this one. As do these people. But for those of you who aren't swayed by those negative reviews and are still interested in seeing one of the worst Dracula movies you'll ever see, you will be able to do so starting October 4th.

Gory & Hilarious Short Turbo Kid Goes Feature-Length

T is for Turbo was one of the films submitted for 26th Director competition for The ABC's of Death. Lee Hardcastle's T is for Toilet ended up being the winning short that made it into the movie, but Turbo Kid has impressed several very important Canadians and a full length film is now in the works. Filming begins next February and should be out before the end of 2014.

"The representatives of EMAfilms, T&A Films, the RKSS Collective and Jason Eisener are proud to announce that TURBO KID, a Canada-New Zealand co-production, has been approved for financing by both Telefilm Canada and the New Zealand Film Commission. The film project will go into production with filming scheduled for late February 2014. The production partners met at the first edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival's Frontières International Co-Production Market in July 2012, where TURBO KID was one of the Frontières projects presented.

The team will complete the financing in the coming weeks to start the prep work in early fall. Currently in discussions with various distributors and broadcasters in Canada and in the USA, the team is also starting the casting process in Canada and New Zealand. The partners are also negotiating an agreement with Films Boutique as their international sales representative.

TURBO KID is the epic tale of an orphaned outcast becoming a hero in a post-apocalyptic world. Fueled with offbeat humor and loads of splatter, TURBO KID will take genre fans to a devastated world where water is in short supply and BMXs are the preferred mode of transportation. TURBO KID is a coming-of-age story with a romantic twist, an action comedy with a heart of gold and a bellyful of guts.

TURBO KID is the story of a lonely orphan obsessed with comic books who scavenges the Wasteland in order to stay alive. When he meets a mysterious girl named Apple, he must confront his fears and look to the hero deep within himself when both are targeted by Zeus, the sadistic and self-proclaimed leader of the devastated world. Armed with little more than blind faith and an ancient turbocharged weapon, the kid embarks on an incredible journey to rid the Wasteland of evil and save the girl of his dreams."

You can check out the 5-minute short below. If you enjoy the work of Jason Eisener or Astron-6 you should absolutely love this.

Squirrels - Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Out Back

Here's a film coming soon that looks too ridiculous not to love:

SQUIRRELS is a new horror-thriller from Bazelevs, Timur Bekmambetov’s production company. The film was written by Daniel Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin, based on an idea by Bekmambetov. Lisa Ellzey and Michele Wolkoff are executive producers. 
  
When a young man’s estranged father is killed under suspicious circumstances, he returns home for the first time in years to get to the bottom of the mystery. Hoping to uncover some logical explanation, he instead finds his mom’s sleazy new boyfriend, a natural gas company buying up the town, an angry female sheriff who happens to be his ex-girlfriend, and an army of flesh-eating squirrels hellbent on destroying everything in their path due to an erosion of their food chain as a result of environmental destruction by the gas company. 

Ghost Shark - More Deep Sea Ridiculousness From SyFy

 

SyFy has found to way to make their movies even more low budget - just remove the monster altogether and say it's a "ghost monster". It's kinda genius in a way, though I'm not sure how exciting a shark attack will be to watch without the shark. If you're wondering which former TV stars they've gotten for this one, the answer is Richard "Bull" Moll and Mackenzie "Little girl from 7th Heaven whose character name I don't know because I've never seen 7th Heaven" Rosman. 

Ghost Shark airs on SyFy August 22nd.

Last Fourth of July, teenager Christy Bruce disappeared from a high school beach party. Her severed arm washed ashore a day later. Drunken sea captain Blaise Shaw became a hero to the small seaside community of Harmony after killing the great white shark that was deemed responsible, but the Christy Bruce murder was no shark attack. Blaise turns to ghost hunter Ava Conte, who is skeptical but intrigued by his ghost shark ramblings. With preparations for a massive July 4th celebration rapidly approaching, they soon find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy of sex and murder involving the town's wealthiest and most powerful citizens. Unprepared to contend with a Ghost Shark that can hunt on land, sea, as well as anywhere there is enough water or rain to sustain its phantom form, Blaise and Ava must uncover the truth about the towns dark past or fall victim to the Ghost Shark.
