Drugged and isolated in a remote community, the two can only hope that they are able to escape before the "chosen ones'" master plan is complete.

Extras include commentary by Myrick, the featurettes "Introduction to the Facility," "The Teacher " (Hidden Camera), "Io Explains the Formula" (Night Vision), "The Aftermath" (Forensic Video), "Extended Interview With Lina Vance" and trailers.

As Hope is forced to undergo humiliating, violent and degrading trials she fights desperately to escape and discover the fate of her missing daughter. When the man reveals a terrifying news, Hope is forced to initiate a series of drastic events which send the delicate balance between captor and slave hurtling out of control. Hope’s actions lead to a devastating and terrifying conclusion, and a secret so dark that it threatens to destroy Hope entirely. Will Hope escape the clutches of evil, or will she be Broken?

Elisabeth Bathory in all her splendor coming soon

Elizabeth Bathory, the most infamous serial killer in Hungarian and Slovak history, gave a taste of what she was like in Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II (can you imagine an entire movie filled with sequences like the one featuring Heather Matarazzo strung upside down?) The Hungarian noblewoman has been a favorite horror tale figure in Eastern European myth since her demise in 1614.

Now there are not one, but two new films coming that tell the story of the horrific killer.

She's slated to cast her spell in dueling versions, one by Slovak auteur Juraj Jakubisko (featuring Anna Friel) and one by French thesp, helmer and scribe Julie Delpy(An American Werewolf in Paris), each following different instincts in getting down to who and what the powerful countess really was.

Delpy has been mum on details while prepping her 5 million Euro ($6.6 million) shoot of The Countess in authentic locations near where Bathory reigned -- and supposedly bathed in the blood of virgins to prolong her girlish looks -- in what is now Hungary and Slovakia. Her Bathory script examines the mindset of a mysterious, wealthy and cruel figure who is said to have killed some 400 girls. Delpy has said it's not exactly clear whether the countess was really behind all the bloodshed. After all, her vast land holdings and castles were worth a fortune, her husband was away at war with the Turks and some stood to gain substantially from any witch-hunt directed at Bathory.

Jakubisko, co-producer of the U.K.'s Film and Music Entertainment says the rival film Bathory conception of the bloody countess is presented in a more epic setting. Jakubisko portrays Bathory from age 10 until her death 35 years later, puts his distinctive stamp on the battle sequences and constantly moves the action from manor houses to more than 20 different castles and chateaus, with 120 speaking characters and thousands of extras.

The project has completed editing and weighs in as the most expensive production in Slovakia and the Czech Republic since 1989 with a budget of $14.5 million and a run time of 2 hours, 22 minutes. It's also the helmer's first English-language movie.

It seems the mad countess has finally won her bid for immortality -- or at least eternal youth.

Buddy Holly vs zombies?

First Elvis took on the Mummy in Bubba Ho-Tep, now Buddy Holly’s going to sing sweet nothing’s to the reanimated!

Ream Enterprises and CineXperia Productions have announced the curiously titled “Buddy Holly Vs. The Living Dead”, a new film written and directed by Justin Cash Kirkpatrick.

Evil Dead” make-up man Tom Sullivan and Lee Behymer, a prominent and respected make-up effects artist whose resume includes work on Francis Ford Coppola's “Dracula”, are involved in the production.

According to a press release, “At its core the film is about fanaticism in all its forms; from gambling to drinking to false idolization; it opens the flood gates to the subconscious where viewers realize that the real horror element of the film lies not within the ominous flesh eating monsters."

"The movie itself centers on the key players involved in making a 1950’s zombie movie and the effects of living the sort of life that lends itself to such chronic exposure to gratuitous excess. By shifting back and forth between the two plotlines Justin creates the foreboding sensation that the “fantasy” plot bears on the “real” plot. That as things gets worse within the “movie” so too do they get worse in “real life”."

"The impending hordes of undead are cleverly used as an allegory; a rotting decrepit evil descending on a seemingly wholesome town, bent on devouring everyone along with their Americana values and consequently turning them into mindless drones.”:rolleyes:



"Resident Evil" double-feature on DVD

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced a "Resident Evil" double feature collector's set which includes both Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which hits DVD on September 4.

Extras will include a Bridge scene narrated by Milla Jovovich in character and featuring film clips from all Resident Evil films that tie the first two films to the third, a Diary of an Apocalypse behind the scenes featurette, a Zombie Dog P.O.V Test, a Stuntman set tour, an Undead Boot Camp feature, a Memory Retention Division feature, and an Evil Archives photo gallery.

Finishing off the set will be an exclusive sneak peek of Resident Evil: Extinction, and a ticket to see the film when it arrives in theaters.



New "The Invasion" pics solidifying it as a disaster?

While Warner Bros. ramps up the release of the awesome Trick 'r Treat, the studio is also prepping The Invasion, which is sounding more and more like a disaster.

Today another batch of boring stills hit the web. There's nothing here yet to make audiences go see this on August 17.

The Invasion tells the story of a mysterious epidemic that alters the behavior of human beings. When a Washington D.C. psychiatrist (Nicole Kidman) discovers the epidemic’s origins are extraterrestrial, she must fight to protect her son, who may hold the key to stopping the escalating invasion.

If you are still interested, you may view the movie stills here.

Dark Sky's French horror "Them" coming in August

In a summer of big-ticket horror films dedicated to pushing the envelope on blood and guts carnage, the scariest film on the horizon may be Them – a low-budget thriller that proves the adage that what you don’t see can be so much scarier than what you do.

Written and directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud and starring Olivia Bonamy and Michaël Cohen, Them (aka Ils) was a surprise hit in Europe and was an official selection at a number of prestigious film festivals including SXSW and the Philadelphia, Seattle, Vail Colorado and Newport Film Festivals. Them will premiere in New York and Los Angeles on August 17 with additional cities and dates to follow.

The plot follows Lucas and Clémentine, a thirty-something couple, who are expats in Romania. They live in an isolated house in the suburbs of Bucharest. Clémentine, a French teacher, and Lucas, a novelist, live in peaceful happiness. However, one evening in their house, everything is turned upside down. Rain is beating outside. The telephone keeps ringing... distant voices at the end of the line... incomprehensible. The couple are not alone. The nightmare begins. THEY are there....

Don’t go into Them (aka Ils) expecting a hardcore horror film- expect a cold, dark thriller that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.



Additional lost footage, goodies on "Nightbreed" special DVD

While we wait for a new release of Clive Barker's Nightbreed on DVD, today Clivebarker.info posted the next best thing.

If you head on over to the website you can check out all sorts of NightBreed goodies from clips to script pages, all piecing together the lost footage hidden somewhere in Fox's vaults.

In the 1990 film, a community of mutant outcasts of varying types and abilities attempts to escape the attentions of a psychotic serial killer and redneck vigilantes with the help of a brooding young man who discovers them.

Click here for details on the soon-to-be-released DVD.



Tartan Asia Extreme Video bringing "Carved" and "Bad Blood" in August

No matter the time or culture…Always beware the woman who asks, “Do you think I’m pretty?”

On August 14th, Tartan Video’s Asia Extreme label will bring the killer hit Carved (aka The Slit-Mouthed Woman) to DVD shelf space across the country.

Thirty years ago, a suburban town was terrorized by the spirit of a woman whose beautiful face had been grotesquely disfigured by a jealous husband. Roaming the streets wearing a long coat and surgical mask, the spirit would approach young victims and, while removing her mask, ask “Am I pretty?” The victim’s response would almost always lead to their violent death. Now, one by one, children are disappearing again...

Directed by Koji Shiraishi (Dark Tales of Japan, Dead Girl Walking), Carved (aka The Slit-Mouthed Woman) opened theatrically in Japan in March 2007. This film will have a simultaneous US and Japanese DVD Release Date.

In Japanese, with English and Spanish subtitles, Carved (aka The Slit-Mouthed Woman) is presented in anamorphic widescreen, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and DTS Surround Sound 5.1. Special DVD features TBD.

In the vein of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village and Alejandro Amenábar’s The Others, Tartan Video will release it’s own tale of eerie myth and consequence on August 28th with BAD BLOOD, a chilling tale of country life gone horrifically awry.

A prominent and respected family inherits a beautiful home in the country, nestled deep inside a tiny village. Despite protests from his wife and children who have grown accustomed to the finer things in life and believe the house should be sold for profit, the father decides to uproot everyone and move to the new house. Almost immediately the small group learns that the village is overshadowed by superstition, religion and mysterious folklore. Soon strange events begin occurring and family is forced to consider an alarming rumor running rampant throughout the village: by inheriting the house, they have also inherited a dark and menacing curse...

Originally titled Coisa Ruim, Bad Blood is directed by Tiago Guedes and Frederico Serra and opened in the 2006 edition of the Fantasporto Festival in Portugal.

Portuguese with English and Spanish subtitles, Bad Blood is presented in anamorphic widescreen, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and DTS Surround Sound 5.1. Special DVD features are yet to be determined but will include the original theatrical trailer and trailers of Tartan Video’s upcoming releases.



First trailer for Stuart Gordon's "Stuck"

The first trailer for Stuart Gordon's Stuck was released today.

The film is a disturbing thriller about a young woman who commits a hit-and-run, then finds her fate tied to her victim.

The film stars Stephen Rea, Mena Suvari, Russell Hornsby, Rukiya Bernard, John Dartt, John Dunsworth, Mauricio Hoyos, Patrick McKenna, Liam McNamara, Marguerite McNeil, Martin Moreno, Bunthivy Nou, Carolyn Purdy-Gordon, R.D. Reid and Wayne Robson.

You can view the trailer here.



50 Cent to join Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro in "Righteous Kill"

Overture Films has picked up all North American rights to Righteous Kill, a $60 million thriller starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as two detectives tracking a serial killer.

Rapper 50 Cent is in final negotiations to co-star as a drug dealer who helps the detectives with their investigation.

Director Jon Avnet is set to begin principal photography in Bridgeport, Conn., and New York in September. Russell Gewirtz ("Inside Man," "Labyrinth") is writing the screenplay, which has De Niro and Pacino onscreen together for nearly the entire film. The two longtime friends shared no screen time in 1974's "The Godfather: Part II" and only one scene in 1995's "Heat."

Today Amazon scored a first look at the cover art from MGM's upcoming release, which I'm sure is going to disappoint the lot of you. Here it is...



In the film scientists create a resonator to stimulate the pineal gland (sixth sense), and open up a door to a parallel (and hostile) universe.

Keep a watch on this page for further details.

Synopsis - Berlin police apprehend the alleged killer of 13 children, but prime suspect Gabriel Engel (DOWNFALL's André Hennicke) will speak only to Michael Martens, a small town constable (ANATOMY 2's Wotan Wilke Möhring) whose own teenaged son is manifesting the classic early signs of a serial killer.

Also starring Norman Reedus (BLADE II) and Heinz Hoenig (DAS BOOT) with breathtaking cinematography by Hagen Bogdanski (THE LIVES OF OTHERS, 2006 Academy Award® Winner, Best Foreign Film).

This tense, violent thriller from writer-director Christian Alvart (CASE 39) combines elements from the classic mind game thrillers THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and SE7EN and was an audience favorite at the 2005 Edinburgh Film Festival.

Hitchcock's first movie "The Lodger" being remade by Sony

Another Hitchcock film being remade - maybe we all have run out of ideas officially? :rolleyes:

David Ondaatje has signed on to direct a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's first film from 1927, The Lodger, for Sony Pictures Entertainment. Re-imagined as an urban thriller set in Los Angeles, the film marks Ondaatje's directorial debut.

Sony has not yet determined which of its labels will release "Lodger" or if the film will bow straight to video.

Michael Mailer will produce alongside Ondaatje, who also adapted the screenplay from Marie Belloc Lowndes' novel. The novel served as the basis for Hitchcock's 1927 film.

"Lodger" is based on the true story of the hysteria caused by the Jack the Ripper's killing spree that took place over several weeks in 1888.

Ondaatje's adaptation is broken into two converging plot lines set in present-day Los Angeles. The first involves an uneasy relationship between a psychologically unstable landlady and her enigmatic lodger, and the second is about a troubled detective engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with an unknown killer.



Rogue bringing comic series "Lost Squad" to the big screen

Stephen St. Leger and James Mather have found their way to The Lost Squad, coming on board to write and direct the project for Rogue Pictures.

Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter are producing.

"Squad" is based on a Devil's Due comic written by Chris Kirby and drawn by Alan Robinson. The miniseries revolved around the supernatural action-adventures of a squad of U.S. soldiers who take on weird missions during World War II, fighting Adolf Hitler's occult agents and other threats.

The pair are riding into Hollywood on buzz created by "Prey Alone," a high-octane 15-minute short they made digitally using actors and some hand props. It is that technique, similar to the fashion of how "300" was made, that they plan to use in making "Squad."

Fox Atomic scraps "28 Months - Years Later"

Fox Atomic, who made their name as Rothman’s spin-off label for horror features like “The Hills Have Eyes” and “28 Weeks Later”, are apparently cutting back on the amount of horror films they do.

Whether its because they lost money on that whole “Revenge of the Nerds” fiasco or whether they’re just taking some time-out so the oversaturated horror market can clear the backlog, one thing’s for sure, they only have one – yep, one – horror movie in the works at the moment.

Apparently the ONLY horror film in the works right now over at Fox Atomic is their PG-13 remake of The Entity, which is being directed by Japanese filmmaker Hideo Nakata (The Ring Two, Ringu).

What's even more disappointing is that Fox Atomic had planned on taking the 28 Days Later franchise up until 28 Years Later, which as of this moment, will never happen.

Now if DVD sales are through the roof for 28 Weeks Later and horror regains some lost momentum, maybe we'll work our way towards seeing 28 Months Later.



PG-13 scares continue with "Prom Night"

It was already revealed back before the film lensed that Sony Screen Gems' remake of Prom Night would be PG-13, but now a new interview with star Brittany Snow reveals more about the 'supposed' horror film that's less than exciting.

“It’s just taking the same name as ‘Prom Night’ the original, but it’s a different script. It’s actually more in the vein of ‘Fear,’ with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg,” she said.

“[It’s about when] my teacher becomes obsessed, and falls in love with me, starts stalking me, winds up at my prom night and starts wreaking havoc on everyone,” said Snow about the plot.

And after the onslaught of “torture porn” flicks like “Hostel” and “Saw,” the actress insisted that the psychological horrors of the new flick (which co-stars Idris Elba and Johnathon Schaech) will come across like a breath of fresh air. “It’s more of a thriller,” she said of the flick, directed by TV veteran Nelson McCormick. “There’s no blood, guts or gore.”

Night” dances into theaters in April of 2008.



Willem Dafoe as a vampire in "Daybreakers"

Willem Dafoe (Shadow of the Vampire, American Psycho) joins Ethan Hawke and Sam Neill in Lionsgate's Daybreakers, which is currently in pre-production.

He will play a vampire in the film that will duel with Ethan Hawke's vampire character.

It's 2016, and it has been 10 years since the plague transformed ordinary people into Vampires dependent on human blood for survival. As the human race nears extinction and the Vampire population grows desperate for blood, a group of rebel Vampires battle military forces to save the last vestiges of humanity.

The film will be directed by Peter and Michael Spierig (Undead).



First stills for "Outlander" out

Today the first official stills were released from Howard McCain's Outlander, which stars James Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Jack Huston, Ron Perlman and John Hurt.

In the script a human-like alien crashes on Earth in 509 AD who inadvertently releasing a horrible monster that he must destroy with the help of a barbaric Viking tribe.

You can view some of the stills here.



NECA reveals "Cult Classics: Series 6" Look

If you head on over to NECA's official website you can check out the first hi-res publicity photos of the figures from Cult Classics: Series 6!

You'll see the new S-Mart Ash from Army of Darkness, the Hare Krishna Zombie from Dawn of the Dead and both Michael and David vampires from The Lost Boys.

The photos and more details on each figure can be seen here, which hits theaters this fall.



Vertigo-Lionsgate bringing "The Bates Motel"

Production company Vertigo Entertainment (The Invasion, The Strangers, Addicted, The Ring, The Grudge, The Echo) has inked a first-look television deal with Lionsgate to develop and produce scripted programming for broadcast and cable.

Vertigo, which was formed in 2001 by Roy Lee and Doug Davison, has a track record of producing U.S. remakes of Asian films. In addition to best picture Oscar winner "Departed" and "Ring," Vertigo has been a producer on the "The Grudge" and its sequel, "The Ring Two" and "The Lake House."

The company recently entered the TV arena with the MTV series "I'm With Rolling Stone."

It also is making its first foray into scripted television with "The Bates Motel," a re-imagining of "Psycho" that's being developed with Universal Media Studios, and a high-stakes gambling drama created by writer Matt O'Neal that is being shopped to networks.

Vertigo's agreement with Lionsgate expands the existing relationship between the companies, which are working together on "The Eye," a thriller produced with Cruise/Wagner that stars Jessica Alba.

Vertigo also is a producer on the upcoming films "The Invasion," a remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig; "The Strangers," a suspense thriller starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman; "Addicted," a psychological thriller starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lee Pace; and "My Sassy Girl," a romantic comedy starring Elisha Cuthbert and Jesse Bradford.

The company also is in various stages of production and development on such films as the dark comedy "Assassination of a High School President," starring Bruce Willis and Mischa Barton, and "Confessions of Pain," a crime thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
