Daisy is a creature feature that comes from Michael S. Rodriquez (Last American Horror Show 1 & 2), it draws from both modern events as well as folklore. The film is about an Afghan war veteran suffering PTSD who now works for his fathers vehicle repair shop. The man brought back a creature he discovered while on tour, that turns out to have a thirst for human blood. Bizarrely, the idea for this creature came from talks with an actual war veteran who heard tales of an apparent real life cryptid while out in Afghanistan. The film was created in just six days on a modest budget, and features lots of practical effects. Daisy is currently on the festival circuit with plans to release it on streaming platforms and physically by summer time.
A Quiet Place: Day One is due to arrive in theatres on June 28th. As the title hints at, this will take place during the initial invasion from the noise hating monsters. That is something I find quite exciting as I thought the prologue sequence in A Quiet Place Part II was the most interesting part of that movie. This prequel movie looks set to cast a new group of characters, with actors announced including Lupita Nyong'o, Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff and Djimon Hounsou. I'm a bit late to the party, but near the beginning of February a teaser trailer for the new entry in the series was released.
Thrash metal band Scarefield have released their debut album, A Quiet Country, which contains eleven tracks that the press release states are '...pure melodic, speedy, thrash madness...'. Along with the album release is a music video for their track 'Child of the Corn' which is a track taken from the album.
Cult classic horror film Basket Case is going to get a 4K UHD Blu-ray release for the first time. This is to occur on 30th April where the film will also get a 4K streaming release on ARROW, the streaming subscription service. I have never actually seen this film (I believe I might own it on VHS somewhere), but I have seen the two sequels which were ok. This first film follows Duane Bradley, whose formally conjoined twin, the deformed Belial now lives inside a wicker basket. The pair have headed to New York where they intend to get revenge on the surgeons responsible for their separation.
An official teaser trailer has been released for Bikers vs Werewolves which is coming from Mahal Empire. The film is to star Jake Busey (Starship Troopers), Robert LaSardo (The Mule, Death Race), Michael Pare, Glenn Plummer and James Duval (Donnie Darko). It currently has an Indiegogo campaign running to get funds, though not too long on that, so if you want to contribute to what has already been a successful campaign then head over here to the page.
Fantasy horror film Spirit Riser has released an official trailer as well as premiere dates. The film is to premiere March 30th at Museum of the Moving Image, and Gardena Cinema on April 26th. The film is about two sisters who are put onto opposite coasts of America by a 'terrifying cosmic entity'. It stars Amanda Flowers, Summer Greenberg, Lynn Lowry, and features Michael Madsen as the narrator. Tickets for the April 26th showing can be purchased here.
Indie comedy horror Everwinter Night is out now via Prime Video. The synopsis has two best friends who find themselves at a remote ski lodge where a group of mysterious wealthy men are throwing an odd celebration. This Adam Newman directed film had a strange production as the original planned movie was cancelled at the last moment, and so it was decided that a totally new story would be created on the fly as the cast and crew were two days out from shooting on location in New Hampshire.
Finally for this month's round-up, found footage horror movie Moth came to VOD platforms on March 26th from Bayview Entertainment. This is about a university professor and her student Adam, who have travelled to Central Europe in the hope of finding undeniable proof of the mothman legend. I reviewed this back in 2016 where I stated '...it almost deconstructs the genre in the intriguing way it plays out and makes you think'.
