DVD Release Date Announced For “The Shattering”


TSThe DVD release date for “The Shattering” has been set for March 24th, 2015. The film is directed by Jason Boritz and inspired by the 2005 disappearance of six students in Northern California. “The Shattering” stars Chris Jarvis, Liam Mcmahon, Elizabeth Anweis, Jaz Martin, Anna Moore.

In the dead of night, Donovan (Liam McMahon) drives his girlfriend, Lucy (Anna Moore) and four friends to a secret rendezvous in the woods. They believe they are meeting a medicine man who can cure Lucy's terminal cancer, but they grow suspicious when a booby-trap in the road forces them to stop short of their destination, and one of them is brutally killed and dragged from the car. The remaining five run for their lives to a deserted cabin, dodging the enchanted wolves that have slaughtered their friend and the bullets of the paramilitary commandoes that hunt them. As the friends die one by one at the hands of the wolves, they realize too late that Donovan has set them up as bait in exchange for the wolf saliva he believes will heal his beloved's disease. But even Dylan is not prepared to pay the price for Lucy's cure.



DVD Release Date For “The Sins Of Dracula”


TSOD“The Sins Of Dracula” is coming to DVD on March 24th! The film is directed by Richard Griffin and stars Michael Thurber, Jamie Dufault, Sarah Nicklin, Samantha Acampora, Steven O'Broin. “The Sins Of Dracula” is available for pre-order at Amazon.

A tongue-in-cheek tale that satirizes the Christian scare films of the 70s and 80s, The Sins of Dracula is a story of sex, sacrilege, and sin. It’s a world where Sondheim is Satan, Broadway means blasphemy, and where taking the stage just might mean curtains…for your eternal soul.

As the star of his church choir, there’s nothing that brings Billy more joy than the opportunity to sing for an audience. However, as his desire to perform grows, the stalwart youth finds that waiting until Sunday to get his fix just simply isn’t enough. Going against the advice of his pastor, Billy follows his girlfriend into the world of secular entertainment, joining the local community theatre troupe. There, Billy is introduced to a whole new world, where his fellow thespians dabble in drugs, sexual perversion, and table-top game-play. Yet, for all the newly minted depravities Billy encounters, none could prepare him for the darkest truth of them all: The theatre group is actually a front for a Satanic cult intent on raising Dracula from the grave!

My Review Of Zombie Drama Short “Like There’s No Tomorrow”


LTNTKyle Schiffert’s zombie/drama is an emotional character study framed around an outbreak that leaves one man alone, dealing with his own mortality, as he comes to terms with being infected by the zombie virus. The short film stars Owen McCuen and is twenty-five minutes of heartfelt, poignant drama. The story follows Joe as he deals with his fast approaching death, coping with the inevitability of the situation, he struggles through various stages of grief.

The story is a strong, deeply personal piece that emotes with a somber tone. Schiffert takes a thoughtful, restrained approached in bringing the story to life, with McCuen giving a pretty tight performance. “Like There’s No Tomorrow” doesn’t manducate on the zombie aspect, instead the short film chooses to softly, focus on the human experience of coping with infection while isolated from all you know and love. It has heart.

“Like There’s No Tomorrow” doesn’t present new concepts of zombification, there is no actual zombies shown. There is just the simple element of horror as one man deals with dying, framed by the outbreak. Schiffert has real talent and potential in both writing and directing. I felt a real connection with the character, Joe, as he struggled. “Like There’s No Tomorrow” is a nice dramatic tale that captures the emotion of it all, something a lot of the feature films showcasing this side of the zombie outbreak have failed to do in the past.

My Review Of “Bleeding Hearts”


bleeding-hearts_large_800Kenneth Del Vecchio’s  “Bleeding Hearts” is a follow up to the deliciously wicked crime/horror “Scavenger Killers”. The film takes the dark satirical madness to a small town inhabited by psychotic sisters who lure in men to torture, play and kill as a budding documentarian sets out to explore the town’s darker side. “Bleeding Hearts” is directed by Dylan Banks and stars Dustin Diamond, Robert Loggia, Charles Durning, Tony Todd, Suzi Lorraine, Rachael Robbins, Robert Bogue. Melantha Blackthorne, Jamie White, Seregon O'dassey.

Where Vecchio’s last film leaned more toward exploitation/splatter film mixed with crime thriller, “Bleeding Hearts” leans toward black comedy/fetish horror with a psycho killer kink. The story is straight forward, easy to follow and quick witted. Vecchio shines in his writing style and disheveled characters, along with writing partner Rachael Robbins. There is a lot of camp and trash worked into the characters and dialog that makes “Bleeding Hearts” fun, and entertaining. Although “Scavenger Killers” was a much stronger piece than this one.

The acting is decent enough with enough recognizable celebs playing a role in the film, from both the A list and D list. Some of the over-the-top execution of dialog falls flat and feels contrived, but for the most part the cast has great timing, delivers some very amusing lines, and really gets into the story. The story arc isn’t completely solid, but “Bleeding Hearts” isn’t a cerebral piece demanding one to think too hard on what is taking place. It is meant as a wicked, lighthearted slice of horror comedy that almost passes as soft-core porn. Personally I think the sex and nudity could have gone into Lars Von Trier territory but there is plenty o’ flesh a go-go here.

The special effects and kill sequences carry on the fun, high octane attitude of “Bleeding Hearts” using practical effects, plenty of blood, and all sorts of kink as men get beat, kicked, screwed, tied down, caged….you get the point, before eventually facing the slaughter. The scenes are a bit much at times, with the intended humor falling flat as character’s emotions seem forced. It isn’t consistent, nor is it too extreme as to kill the delightful mood of watching this bit of trash-tastic horror homage.

Overall, “Bleeding Hearts” will fail to meet the more serious horror fan’s expectations, but for the peeps-especially the guys-that like shameless cheeky horror, this film offers more than enough camp, fetish, flesh, blood to entertain. The acting is just as you would expect, “less is not more in this situation, more is more” when it comes to the melodramatic delivery of the cast, witty dialog, insane atmosphere, and campy vibe. “Bleeding Hearts”, as I said earlier, isn’t as strong a film as “Scavenger Killers”, but the familiar actors, and twisted humor of Vecchio and Robbins is very much present.

My Review Of “Realm Of Souls”


ROS“Realm Of Souls” is a blended found footage/traditional campy horror film with heavy supernatural overtures. The film is directed by Chase Smith, who wrote the script as well, and stars Lance Paul Hoover, Ella Bardine, Chase Smith, Jon Bailey. The story focuses on a documentary team searching the whereabouts of colleagues who go missing after they set out to document some of Georgia’s most notorious haunted locations.

The story is a multi-layered amalgamation of traditional third person point-of-view, found footage and supernatural-with the classic killer-in-the-woods amping things up. It sounds complicated, and a bit too much, and in most cases these attempts are just that. There is often incoherent story arcs, schizophrenic scene changes, etc., something that Smith managed-for the most part-to avoid with “Realm Of Souls”. The story manages to stay together and move forward as intended. There are some sticky points that sort of irked me, the constant switching between the genre film styles at this rate of transition does distract some from the intense chilling atmosphere at times.

The other aspect of “Realm Of Souls” that was a bit bothersome was the ineffectual supernatural characters, and the fact that the first forty minutes – after an awesomely gratuitous opening sequence-feel flat and seemed to drag on too long. Other than that there is so many more things to like about this one. The fact that Chase Smith is able to make this amount of film stylizing, and different horror elements string together is a sign of real talent and story telling. The cast give decent performances for the most part, bringing the characters closer to “believable”. There are times that many of the cast get shaky and lose the drama in several scenes, but it is inconsistent, which never makes the film un-watchable.

The special effects and creature make-up both are nicely accomplished through practical and standard CGI-only what is necessary to tell the supernatural aspect of the story. There is plenty of gore, blood splatter, and screams in “Realm Of Souls” to entertain most horror fans, provided you get past the cinematic choices that Smith takes to bring this nightmare to life. I hung in there and I am glad. Although the points I mentioned that bothered me-really bothered me, every time the dark, creepy horror took over in the film I felt satisfied. The kills are delightful in this one. Blunt, visceral, and gruesome.

Overall “Realm Of Souls” is a worthy effort to create a more interesting found footage ghost story. Chase Smith takes a chance and on many levels it works to his good. The story is fluid, layered, and dark. The blood and guts get a B from me, although I think he could have upped the ante with more graphic, splatter flick kill sequences. The soundtrack is hit or miss with some good instrumental and music choices pushing against a few really bad ones that just didn’t fit the scene or enhance the moment, other than that “Realm Of Souls” is one that I will watch again.

Stephen King’s ‘Mr. Mercedes’ TV Series


Mr. MercedesDeadline is reporting Sonar Entertainment as adapting a limited TV series of Stephen King’s ‘Mr.Mercedes’. David E. Kelley (Boston Legal, The Practice)  has been tapped to write the script, with Jack Bender (Lost) picked to set in the director’s chair. ‘Mr. Mercedes’ is the first book in a trilogy, with the second book, ‘Finders Keepers’, set to come out this May.


“In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands.


In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes.


In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.


Brady Hartfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands.


Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.”
