The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Tuesday 20th January 2026

I'm currently on my second week of attempting to work on this blog full time, though that definition might not so easily fit what I am doing as there are plenty of naps inserted throughout. Of the five days I was doing this last week, only two of those days I would class as fully doing my blog. I'm going to try better this week though! With that out the way, onwards to the news.

Freestyle Digital Media have acquired the VOD rights to supernatural psychological thriller - The Eye. This stars Bollywood actress Shruti Haasan as Diana - a grieving widow who travels to a remote island that her and her deceased husband once stayed at. It is there she hopes to get some closure, instead, she learns of a curse from the locals, one that could bring her husband back to life, though at a terrible cost. Written by Emily Carlton and directed by Daphne Schmon, The Eye is available to rent/own on North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms as well as DVD from today.


Coming from filmmaker David M. Parks, Dracula Eternal is a modern day reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula. It stars Mike Ferguson, Cody Renee Cameron, LeeAnne Bauer, and Denise Milfort, with the plot shadowing the original classic. A woman's summer is ruined with a series of unpleasant events, her best friend becomes strangely ill, her fiancé disappears, and she is forced into a confrontation with an ancient evil. Dracula Eternal had its premiere at the Infamous Unfriendly Studios in North Hollywood on January 15th. That is also when the film came to streaming services, including Apple TV.

Finally for today, horror comic Within currently has a Kickstarter campaign running, with just days left on it to go. This comes from Brian Cochran and is said to be a cross between Rosemary's Baby and the works of Clive Barker. Within is about a young woman who thanks to her father's attempt to outsmart the devil, now carries an unborn entity that both Heaven and Hell state is inhuman. Pursued by enemies who want to make sure the child is never born, the woman becomes convinced that her love for her unborn can alter the course of its destiny. The Kickstarter campaign has been successful, with funds pledged being quadruple the goal amount. For more details, check out the campaign page here.
