The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Thursday 13th March 2025


I am back with another round-up of three horror stories plucked from my mouldy news sack. Spring is here and is much appreciated, the persimmons may be not long for the stores, but cherries are on the way.

Lost Joy is a psychological suspense-thriller that is set for its digital debut for North American VOD platforms and DVD on March 18th. This follows a couple, Jane and Jon, who have headed to a remote woodland cabin in order to try and fix their struggling relationship. Further issues arise when Jane begins to experience strange sights and sounds, something Jon doesn't get himself. This is then further compounded when a stranger appears and claims to confirm the visions Jane has been having. This was directed by Jordan Laemmlen, who also co-wrote this alongside Winter Bassett, both of whom star in this alongside Vincent Catalina.


Director's Cut is a retro-style horror/slasher film that is also to come out on March 18th. Here, a Long Island punk band are lured to the woods by a mysterious director who has offered to shoot their first music video for free. After a night of heavy drinking, the director becomes increasingly unhinged, with him and his assistant's plan being to use the band members as unwitting stars in a snuff film. This was written and directed by Don Capria who stated the director character represents 'the evil in the music business'.


Finally for today, The Apex Predators Club currently has an Indiegogo campaign running. The synopsis sees a group of rich thrill seekers getting the chance to hunt actual monsters, but things soon begin to go wrong. Filming is set to start in June 2025 and will be coming from J.Horton (Craving) and the Mahal Empire. For more information check out the campaign page here.
