Time flies so quickly nowadays and I wouldn't even say I'm having that much fun. The weeks zoom by with nothing of note to show for them. Halfway through the year and time for another monthly news round-up.
The first video from electro industrial group Tragic Impulse has been released, for their track Oubliette. The ten track album, titled Distant Worlds, released last month via Distortion Productions.
Mario Cerrito III's Human Hibachi 2 is set to premiere this Summer. This sequel to the found footage cannibal horror follows fans of the first movie who set out to create their own flesh eating offering. Michael Joy of Marketing Macabre states "...one of the best found footage movies that I've ever seen...maybe ever."
A 'ten year anniversary' cut of Gregory Blair's psychological thriller Deadly Revisions is due to be release this year with brand new extras. This stars the iconic Bill Oberst Jr (DIS, Devil's Junction: Handy Dandy's Revenge) as an amnesiac horror film writer whose nightmares suggest something horrific occured in his past. Blair says of this new cut "For a long time, now, I was itching to make little tweaks to the film, so I was thrilled to finally be able to do that. It was my first feature and, I think I've learned a lot since then, and so the chance to apply some of what I've learned to help the film shine brighter was very appealing." Deadly Revisions should be out this December, from SGL Entertainment.
It is that time of the month again so here are some of the highlights for the Arrow streaming service's July. This includes a season films based on the works of H.P Lovecraft that include Castle Freak and Lurking Fear (coincidentally I read the short story Lurking Fear this week, was another good one of his). Also coming are the exploitation films Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama and Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.
God Told Me To is an apparently critically acclaimed cult classic that is getting a release on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray. Written, produced, and directed by Larry Cohen, this is about a crime wave sweeping New York with the unlikely attackers all claiming that 'God told me to'. A Catholic NYPD detective discovers an underworld of 'deranged faith, alien insemination and his own unholy connection to a homicidal messiah with a perverse plan for the soul of mankind'. This new release comes out on 19th July from Blue Underground.
If not for the full title Dying Light: An Investigation into Near-Death Experiences, I may have mistook this for a novelisation of the game of the same title. This is by Jason Hewlett and Peter Renn and does what the title implies. The book touches on such subjects as 'paths to reincarnation and past-life experience, multiverse theory and more'. The book can be purchased here.
Set to be released in December from Arrow Films is the festive horror, The Leech. Directed by Eric Pennycoff, this is about a struggling Catholic priest who encounters a homeless stranger. It isn't long before he has offered the stranger and his girlfriend to share his house while they look for new accommodation with a deal that they must open themselves up to God. The priest begins to suspect that the couple have been sent to him as a test from God due to their toxic ways.
Angel is the latest single from Detroit deathgaze duo Vazum. This came out on June 24th and is described as a 'fast-paced punk/deathrock/shoegaze hybrid'. A new album is due to come out later in the year, while they will be touring over Summer.
Finally, not horror based but the email request was polite. The latest music video from hard rock group Pistols At Dawn has been released. Titled The Truth, this comes from the band's upcoming album Ascension, which releases on August 19th.
