Another month been and gone. In video game terms I have mainly been working my way through Borderlands 3, a much better game than I had been led to believe even if the core story sucks. I also picked up Silent Hill f. I had heard mixed things about that game, but I couldn't in full conscience call myself a huge Silent Hill fan if I didn't grab the new game on launch day. There is a Daft Punk experience later today in Fortnite, so am killing time writing this post while I wait. Such an exciting life I lead! Onwards to the news.
Crazed House Entertainment have announced the Digital release of The Quantum Devil, which was the winner of Film Threat's 'Best Indie Horror' of 2024. The film sees a team of scientists summoned to a remote facility in Eastern Europe where they perform dimension travelling experiments. I saw this one a few years back where I stated in my review '...had a great visual look to it...wasn't a dull film...' with a respectable six out of ten rotted heads as my score. The Quantum Devil released on 12th August.
14th October has Borderline Media releasing Screamityville on Blu-ray, DVD, and select digital platforms. Instead of a film, this is instead an 84 minute tour of various people's decked out Halloween displays. I think its one of those things that is meant to be left on the background. The tours include 'atmospheric music and chilling sound effects'. To be fair, I did enjoy the trailer, some very impressive looking displays.
There is currently an Indiegogo campaign running for Acrostar Productions The Legend of Tinker Hell. Coming from Steve Hermann and Lynn Lowry, this tells a comedic horror story about fairy based Ellie who goes to violent means to try to help out her master. For more details check out the page here.
I'm assuming Revenge Land is a sequel, the press release implies that but doesn't state what the first film would have been called. Anyway, this comes from Maniacal (formally Michael Moutsatsos), and takes place in 1975 where six musicians away at a retreat to work on their new album encounter a furious and vengeful man looking for revenge against everyone for the death of his son.
Short horror film The Crossroads Hitcher has officially entered production, with the film to star Andrew Pierson, Carissa Pierson, and Kristina Lafser. The simple yet effective synopsis states that a woman stopping at a deserted crossroads has a hitchhiker sneak into her car. The film is planned to hit short film festivals worldwide in 2026, with a crowdfunding campaign launching in the near future.
Lost Contact: UFOs After Wartime debuts on Digital platforms on 7th October. This is a new documentary coming from Small Town Monsters and investigates the story of WW2 pilot Thomas Mantrell Jr., the only known person to have died while chasing a UFO.
Found footage focussed streaming platform FOUND TV is celebrating its one year anniversary by releasing 31 films over October, one a day, either a feature film or a short. Highlights include Tahoe Joe 3: Concrete Wilderness, world premieres of I'm Haunted 4 and I'm Haunted 5, as well as the world release of Jabberjaw and the first three episodes of The Poltergeist Diaries.
Finally for today; having enjoyed animated short film Space Goblins, I had to include the trailer for the live-action feature film based on the property, also called Space Goblins. Looks interesting to say the least.
