It is the last day of August (at the time of typing) and at risk of sounding like a broken record; I really can't get over how fast this year is going. I'm sleeping terrible at the moment, I wish that were due to horrific nightmares, but alas, it is just insomnia. Onwards to a trilogy of terrifying news stories plucked from the darkest recesses of my bloody mail sack.
The 9th annual Scumdance Film Festival returns to The Lost Church in San Francisco on September 27th. Described as the '...ultimate celebration of the weirdest and wildest micro-budget films...', the festival promises an eclectic selection of bizarre movies. Announced so far includes Dead, White & Blue, Good Boy, Rest Stop, Murder in the Park AKA No One Likes You, Soliloquy of One, and Wet Ingredients from the U.S. Also showing is Canadian kink/oddity Diva, Spain's El Encantador, and Scent Of A Shoes from Iran, among others. For more details check out the Scumdance website here.
Cult slasher, The Last Horror Film (Tromatic Edition) is coming to Blu-Ray on September 16th. Starring Joe Spinnell (Rocky, The Godfather) as a taxi driver with dreams of making the ultimate horror movie, this follows his journey to the Cannes Film Festival where he plans to give 'scream queen' Jana Bates (Caroline Munro - The Spy Who Loved Me) his script with the hope she will star in his film. At the same time this is happening, members of her crew start showing up dead, possibly due to an over zealous Vinny? Bonus features include an introduction by Lloyd Kaufman, audio commentaries, interviews, a short film - Mr. Robbie, and more.
Finally for today, psychological thriller Unholy Communion comes to North American VOD platforms and DVD on September 5th. The film follows a police officer (Adam Bartley) as he investigates a series of murders of priests in rural Minnesota, uncovering as he does so he finds evidence that seems to implicate the whole community the murders have taken place in, including the officer's best friend - town dentist Paul Thomas (Vincent Kartheiser). Unholy Communion was written and directed by Patrick Coyle (Into Temptation) and is based on the novel of the same name from Dr. Thomas Rumreich.
