This month felt like it really zoomed by, with the arrival of summer almost taking me by surprise. I have been neglecting my new PSVR2 unit, I need to get back into doing that as there are plenty of horror video games that are on there waiting to be tried out. Especially considering I have yet to play a scary game on the system. Blame goes to The Elder Scrolls Online that I continue to be addicted to.
A new teaser trailer has been released by MegaCity Media for sci-fi action adventure movie Space Goblins. Directed by Ams Overton, and starring Bill Hutchens (Curse of the Blind Dead), and Richard Blenkiron (Guardians of the Galaxy), this tells the tale of two brothers who find themselves pitted against hordes of terrorists and criminals that are attempting to overrun the universe.
The Only Ones is an upcoming indie comedy horror film, and an official teaser trailer and new poster art has been released. Directed by Jordan Miller (the award winning short film Three), this stars Nya Ford, Paul Cottman (Three), Emily Classen (The Forgiving), Zach Ruchkin (We Own This City), Nancy Anne Ridder (Scream), Christopher Inlow (Deer Crossing), Kim Krut (Dawn of the Dead), with voice over work by Brett Wagner (The Crazies). The press release doesn't reveal much, other than to say '...an exciting and original indie movie about distrust, isolation and what happens when situations spiral out of our control'.
Horror film Beneath Us All has been given an official release date of September 19th 2023, where it will be released on VOD and physical media from Painted Creek Productions and Deskpop Entertainment. This won Best Horror Fantasy Film at The International Horror Hotel, where director Harley Wallen was also nominated for Best Director, and Kaiti Wallen for Best Lead Actress in a Feature Film. Described as a 'retro fresh look at Vampires', this sounds like some hapless people will find themselves up against Viking vampires. The cast includes Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs), Maria Olsen (I Spit on Your Grave), Yan Birch (The People Under the Stairs) among others.
Dracula in the Hood is a new vampire film, directed by Will Collazo (Night of the Zomghouls). Telling a typical story, this has two best friends (David Perry and Collazo) forced to call on the skills of vampire hunter Van Helsing (Tim Hatch) after encountering Dracula. Filming is to begin this summer.
Author Shaun Hutson's novel Deadhead is now available in paperback and eBook formats. In this one, Nick Ryan, a troubled detective, finds his daughter kidnapped by a gang behind a series of disturbing murders. Nick begins a race against time to hunt down the people responsible and rescue his daughter. The press releases states '...is a haunting exploration of the depths of human depravity and the indomitable spirit of a father. With its relentless pacing and shocking twists, this novel is set to leave readers breathless and craving for more'.
'Haunting' is the new single from German synthpop project Meersein. The track is about memories of a love that is impossible to forget. The song is available on most digital platforms, including Apple Music.
Beach Day is an experimental fourteen minute long short horror film from Robin Johnson in their directorial debut. This stars Carly Jordan, Adam Grodman and Hannah Marie Fonder, and follows a young woman whose day of 'self care' at the beach goes to some strange places. The film completed post-production in February and has won awards at the Astoria Film Festival, Cooper Awards, and WRPN Women's International Film Festival among others.
Maid Droid is coming this summer from Cinema Epoch Classics. The synopsis has a man recovering from a break-up who decides to hire an android from the 'Maid Droid' agency. The creation is designed to serve the man's every wish, but soon it begins to learn human emotions, as well as recall memories from its past.
Finally for this month's round-up. Los Angeles based The God Bombs have released their latest single and video, 'Bleed', with the video described as a horror film about mental illness. Check out the gothic industrial track below. To me it sounds a little like Korn crossed with Placebo.
