It is hard not to feel excited this week as I am on the cusp of what I hope will be an awesome week off of work. Rather than going off to some exotic location, I am instead heading inwards, deep within the bowels of The Rotting Zombie HQ. Here I intend to see absolutely no one (with the exclusion of my best friend should they choose to visit), I won't be looking at any type of world news, I won't even draw the thick dusty curtains of my dilapidated mansion. A staycation done correctly where for a week my entire world will consist solely of myself. Of course, during that time I won't abandon this blog, indeed, I intend to create a surplus of blog posts to feed the future when I travel back from my pocket dimension. Onwards to the news!
Final Transmissions is an upcoming found footage anthology series that is currently on an Indiegogo campaign. Taking place in the small town of Eldritch, Illinois in 1999, it follows a local TV host who begins airing strange transmissions he has received, assumedly, these transmissions making up the found footage segments. This was created by husband and wife team Steven Hugh Nelson and Erica Nelson, and features segments from Sophia Cacciola and Michael J. Epstein (The Once and Future Smash), Evan Churchill and Thomas Pardo (Beholder), Nick Cotrufo (The McKinney Family Home Videos), Alex Hera (The History of Analog Horror), the Nelson's themselves (Old Wounds), and Lianne O'Shea and Aviv Rubinstien (Lizzie Lazarus). Check out the Indiegogo page here for more details.
Anima is a psychological thriller that is currently being filmed in Colombia, written and directed by Andrés Beltrán (Tarumama, MalaYerba). Included among the cast are Odette Annable (Cloverfield), Allegra Leguizamo (Tin Soldiers), Julio Cesar Cedillo (Sicario), Tony Revolori (Scream VI), and Andreas Londono (Fear the Walking Dead TV show). The story follows forensic medical investigator Helena (Annable), deep in mourning after the death of her husband Richard (Londono). She becomes obsessed with a strange new case, and starts to believe that hidden within the events of this case is the key to be able to somehow return her husband back to life. Beltrán says of the film "This is a deeply emotional and unsettling story-about grief, denial, and the terrifying cost of refusing to let go". Production runs through July in Bogotá, with post-production planned in both Colombia and the United States for a 2026 planned release.
Finally for today, theatrical metal group Raven Black have released a new single titled 'This Little Piggy'. Described as a 'razor-sharp anthem for the outcasts, the misfits, and the tormented', this promises to be the start of '...a darker, more intense evolution' of the group's sound. Produced by Ulrich Wild (Static-X, White Zombie, Deftones).
