In my personal life I'm back working in the lab I was exiled from these past four months. It may only be temporary for a little while, but I never realised how much I missed working; it satisfies the soul. Due to working full time again, I've had to re-jig my blog output. Gone are the days of watching one film each night, instead, I'm back to my traditional blog days, albeit, drafts on the Saturday (as my ink-stained hand attests to - by the way, first notepad of drafts filled!), and Sunday will see me write up the reviews. Onwards to the news...
Freestyle Digital Media have acquired the VOD distribution rights to the Abel Danan directed Moroccan based (at least partly) The Curse. This tells the story of a young Moroccan girl who moves to Paris to study. There she lives in solitude in her apartment, agoraphobia preventing her from leaving. It is while there that memories of the past and monstrous visions merge to bring her to the edge of sanity.
Cursed camera horror; Say Cheese, is now available on TubiTV and Fawesome TV. The film is about a strange camera that has the ability to capture the final moments before death, sounding very similar in style to the Final Destination series; no bad thing. Starring Frank Palangi, Cat Alesio, Erica James, Jodie Wells and Jake Navatka, CineDump said of this 'Stylish, eerie, and quietly mean, Say Cheese turns something comforting into something fatal...leaving viewers with the unsettling feeling that some memories are better left undeveloped'.
Finally for today, The Horror Collective/BloodStream have acquired worldwide rights to Last Chance Motel - a desert based horror co-written and co-directed by Danielle Harris and Scout Taylor-Compton, who also star. The film follows a newlywed couple whose choice of dream venue for their wedding turns into a nightmare. I guess it serves them right for choosing a desolate motel deep in the desert run by a 'bloodthirsty family with dark secrets'! Also in the star-studded horror cast are Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Monica Keena (Freddy vs. Jason), Robert Allen Mukes (House of 1000 Corpses) and Shane West (Salem). With Halloween being my favourite horror series, I have a lot of time for anything that Harris and Taylor-Compton are involved in.
