This month has flown by, I find myself writing another news round-up much quicker than it felt like it should have been. I've gotten a bit lax and doing proper blog writing weekends, I've even struggled to keep to my five blog posts a week. Am hoping I've turned that around this weekend with a decent spread of things to blog about.
Starting off with The Dead and the Damned 2. I don't have too much to say about this, but as it is a zombie film it just had to be mentioned. This was recently released on DVD from Bayview Entertainment, it comes from director Rene Perez and stars Richard Tyson (Battlefield Earth), Raven Lexy (Sleeping Beauty), and John J. Welsh (Alien Showdown). It takes place in the 'savage land', a place where the undead roam. Here, a heavily armed lieutenant is on a mission to give his family a burial at sea. The film can be found here.
The Scottish film company Hex Studios (The Devil's Machine, Lord of Tears) have both announced their latest film as well as their new experimental genre label Hellion Video. The first film for this new label with be Linger. This follows a documentary crew as they explore an abandoned hospital that is said to be cursed. This is written by and starring Tom Staunton, and will be directed by Lawrie Brewster. The press release states that it '...is a unique horror hybrid that blends the documentary style of 'Lake Mungo' and 'Noroi the Curse' with the haunting aesthetic of Scottish folk-horrors like 'Lord of Tears' and 'The Wicker Man'. Films from Hex Studios always have a great similar vibe to them, I imagine Linger will be no different. There is currently a Kickstarter campaign running to fund the final stages of post-production, so check that out here.
Deadlines looks like a vampire film, it is new, coming from director George Demick, and is out now on VOD from Bayview Entertainment. It stars Monica Alexander, Luce Allan and Jacob Anderson and is about a struggling reporter who discovers the reason why the homeless are vanishing in his town.
Coming soon from Matabo Entertainment is Screature, a sci-fi/horror film from Jake C. Young. The synopsis has four soldiers heading into a Canadian forest to stop a top secret project that has gone wrong. It is to star Young as well as wrestler "Superstar" Bill Dundee.
Nicole D.Angelo's Love Crime can now be seen for free on Tubi and on-demand with Amazon and Vimeo. The film is semi-based on the murder of Travis Alexander by his girlfriend, Jodi with the story revolving around her interrogation of the crime. D'Angelo stars as Jodi, producer Shane Ryan-Reid as Travis, and co-stars Lisa London and Sam Dobbins.
Finally for today, the sci-fi/horror cult classic Event Horizon is being released in a new 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray collector's edition steelbook to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The film stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill and Kathleen Quinlan and is about the reappearance of a space vessel years after it mysteriously vanished. Directed by Paul W.S Anderson and produced by Jeremy Bolt, this re-release includes a whole bunch of extras including a commentary and five documentaries about the film's creation. This releases on August 8th.
