The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for 25th April 2023


Here is the first of two news posts for this week, with an hour time limit imposed by myself to get both of them written. So, from the bottom of my bloody news sack comes three news tales of terror, starting with something zombie related.

The press releases I get from Acort International and Midnight Releasing are always scant on details, but I couldn't not include this brilliantly titled horror. Ahockalypse is a hockey based comedy zombie film whose synopsis merely states 'After winning the championship cup, Jonsey and his team must survive the zombie apocalypse'. This stars Barry Melrose, Kelly Chase, Jesse Renneke, Squal Charlson, and Kayle Williams, check out the trailer below.


Olaf Ittenbach's Dard Divorce is out now on Blu-ray. Coming from the director of Black Past, The Burning Moon, and Premutos: The Fallen Angel, this 'ultra visceral horror' is about a routine divorce between a couple which devolves into 'scenes of torture, bloodshed and slaughter'. Special features include interviews with the cast and crew, behind the scenes with the director, trailers, and more. Dard Divorce can be purchased here.


Finally for today, MVD Entertainment Group have announced the restored and remastered 4K Ultra HD format premiere of Wes Craven's 1982 superhero flick, Swamp Thing. This is about a former scientist who gets doused with experimental chemicals during a robbery, and is left for dead in swamp land. The chemicals mutate the dying man however, with him becoming a half human/half plant who sets out for revenge. The release includes both the original PG rated theatrical cut, as well as the unrated international cut which goes to North America for the first time. This release comes with a whole host of extras and is due for release on 25th July later this year.
