The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Tuesday 16th July 2024


Another week has passed and time is once again flying this year. I've been a bit under the weather this past weekend and so wasn't as able to do as much of my blog as I would have liked.

The top story for this news anthology is that filmmaker Nicholas Michael Jacobs (Two Twisted Tales, Urban Fears) is going to be making one final entry in his prolific Genevieve series of short films. The titular grotesque possessed doll first appeared in the 2019 horror anthology Urban Fears and has gone on to appear in a variety of short stand alone movies. The latest, to be titled Genevieve Burns will have a priest possibly managing to end the doll's murderous rampage for good. Below is a teaser trailer as well as some shots from the upcoming film.





Shane Woodson's sixth feature film - 7 Days to Hell has its West Coast premiere at the Look Theater at 8pm today. This action fantasy is a sequel to 8 Days to Hell. The synopsis has a man, JJ who after making a deal with the devil is tasked with collecting seven souls in seven days.


Finally for today, a first look for Adrian Tofei and Duru YĆ¼cel's apocalyptic feature film We Put the World to Sleep has been released. The film is the second in Tofei's trilogy which began with the found footage cult classic Be My Cat: A Film for Anne and is to end with Pure. While each entry appears to be stand alone they collectively form part of a cohesive universe. We Put the World to Sleep has been filmed over five years across thirteen locations in Romania, Turkey, and Ukraine, featuring a diverse international cast and having four of its five principal cast members being female. Adrian and Duru star in the film as characters sharing their same names but no other similarities. The synopsis states the pair have embarked on a secret mission to bring about the end of the world.
