The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for 22nd February 2024


My inbox doesn't get any smaller, I really need to dedicate some time to going through it at some point. Hopefully my monthly news round-up next week will be larger than it was last time around. With that all said and done, on to a trio of news stories.

An Indiegogo campaign is currently running to get funds for a sci-fi horror feature film that currently looks to be untitled. The film is to be about an underground cult who are attempting to discover the secret of immortality by performing experiments on victims. Jamie Langlands is to write, direct and produce this, I recognise him from his acting roles in C.A.M and As A Prelude to Fear. Meghan Adara is on board as the lead actress, and key crew roles have been decided. The campaign is to raise funds for hiring of the final two locations, for props, and to pay the salaries of the cast and crew. At the time of typing this campaign has raised £160 of its £2000 flexible goal with fifty three days left to go. For more details, check out the Indiegogo page here.

Bayview Entertainment have released Asian horror film Binding Souls on Blu-ray (region free) in the USA. This was directed by Pang-Chun Chan and written by Chaohong Huang, and stars Carlos Chan, Esther Huang and Yu-Ning Tsao. The synopsis states that a group of students return to their former high school. There they discover a diary that results in the group beginning to experience strange visions and occurrences, possibly linked to the school's dark past as a Japanese military laboratory during World War II.


Finally for today, cult 1970's  horror film Night of the Blood Monster is coming to 4K UHD and Blu-ray on March 26th from Blue Underground. This is a complete and uncensored version of Jess Franco's horror (also known as The Bloody Judge). This stars Christopher Lee (The Wicker Man, Dracula) as Judge Jeffreys, the Lord Chief Justice of 17th century England, who abuses his position to condemn women as witches for his own 'political and sadistic desires'.
