The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Thursday 12th February 2026

The second news post of the day I am writing (at time of typing). I found that using one day to watch the films, and the second day to write the news posts has worked out much better than trying to do bits every day. I had intended to watch 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple last Tuesday, but now that is scheduled for today, so fingers crossed I get to see it before it leaves the cinema! Onwards to the news.

As an exclusive world premiere, FOUND TV is going to be debuting Human Hibachi 3: The Last Supper on Friday, February 20th. Once again directed by Mario Cerrito, this latest instalment follows a man who forms a cult, and leads his followers to a ritualized 'last supper' where human flesh is no doubt consumed once again. Once mor in the found footage style, this third entry intends to '...blend(s) psychological horror with themes of religious extremism'. Back in 2023, I reviewed Human Hibachi 2: Feast in the Forest, giving it a respectable 6/10 and saying "...the characters mainly were decent enough, found footage horror films shown from the perspective of the antagonists isn't a new idea, but it does make for entertaining movies". More info for the third film can be found here.

Keeping on the queasy subject of cannibalism; Continuance has been released on Digital platforms worldwide (including to rent/buy on Amazon Prime Video) thanks to VIPCO & BayView Entertainment. Written and directed by Tony Olmos (Hemet, or the Landlady Don't Drink Tea), and starring Tony Gorodeckas, Noor Razooky and Teresa Suarez Grosso -  this tells the story of a cannibalistic serial killer, his wife, and their housekeeper who want to hide from society before an inevitable economic crash, but first need to do one last supply run. 

Finally for today, Italian horror; Through the Deepening Night has also been released on Digital platfroms via BayView Entertainment. Coming from award-winning director Davide Montecchi, this one is about a young woman who rents a remote house, and is then given a method for communicating with the dead from a mysterious woman. Things don't go well and the young woman finds herself in a battle for survival.
