The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Thursday 21st August 2025

I really can't get over how quickly time is passing this Summer. It feels like only yesterday it was the start of another work week, and here I find myself back at the weekend and doing another weeks worth of blog posts (at the time of typing). Onwards to the news.

The Justin Sulham directed Nashville creature feature, Big Bad Betty has been acquired by Screamify for worldwide rights. Originally envisioned as a sasquatch story and then a werewolf story, the film instead features an original creation. The story sees a young woman and her friends encountering an unknown creature while restoring her late grandfather's old ranch. Big Bad Betty will premiere later this year as a Screamify Original.

I admit I only include this next news piece due to the fantastic cover art, but electronic metal band The Browning have recently announced the release of new album; Omni (Ultra). This features the original ten tracks from Omni, plus recent singles including the cover of 'Blue (Da Be Dee)' and 'Overlord', and new remixes from Biohex, Jonny McBee, Kaixo, Kodeseven, Darksiderz, Machinyst, and Zardonic. Omni (Ultra) is due to be released on August 27th from FiXT.

Finally for today, a new teaser has been released for Illya Konstantin's horror film Night of Violence. The celebration of a legal victory for a corporation who recently launched a controversial drug is interrupted by masked brutes disguised as caterers. Trapped in their office block, a handful of employees must fight back against their aggressors to survive. Night of Violence has its world premiere at London's FrightFest 2025 on Thursday 21st August at the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square.
