Alien Mosquito Attacks Brazil In New Creature Feature "Mosquitoid"

The aliens have landed and they are out for blood! Brazil is under attack from mosquitoes from outer space in new creature feature "Mosquitoid". Check out the teaser unleashed for the movie. A crowd funding campaign has kicked off for what looks like one cool ass, entertaining ride into monster horror! The campaign is happening on Indiegogo so go check out all the lovely stuff to pick from by funding this one!

"Mosquitoid" is directed by  André and Marcos de Castro and filmed with the same concept that brought "Grindhouse" to life. The film tells the story of a giant mosquito from Planet Endfly, who finds a crack in a black hole in space and comes to Planet Earth. When he comes to Ribeirão Preto, a city that is experiencing an epidemic of the same mosquito, because of the excess of still water, he promotes chaos. His bite is deadly, it's not like the normal mosquito. His giant stinger kills the person's immediately, however, its venom takes effect. The dead turn into zombie-mosquitos and attack the city's population. In the story there are several characters. The mosquito goes through numerous funny situations because of his personalities. Mad scientist, drag queen in the adaptation process, frenzy in sorority, clumsy soldier, sensual colonel, two crazy hippies, space warrior, among others. All this washed down with very black humor, blood and some sensuality.

Teaser Trailer Released For "Deimosimine"

Check out the teaser trailer for upcoming horror "Deimosimine". The film kicked off a crowd funding campaign earlier this month, with plenty of time left for backers to get in on the project. Directed by Chad Armstrong, starring Rhiana Howell, Tom Hagale, Ashley Coughlin, Darren Cain, Richard Chandler, and Joseph Bodkin, "Deimosimine" now has famed, award-winning actor "Robert Nolan signed on to the project! So yeah this is one to watch for, anticipate, and salivate for!

Cindy is a twenty-something girl who has had a rough life. She believes that her wealthy mother killed her father and got away with it. After years of running from this horrible past, she turns to heroin to cope with her painful memories.

Embarrassed by her daughters addiction, her mother seeks out a doctor who has created a cure for all addictions…a drug that induces fear within the addict, a fear so frightening and real that, theoretically, the patient will not want to go back to those dark places, and thus stop using.

Cindy becomes addicted to this drug (Deimosimine), and starts to believe she is hunting down demons, monsters, and aberrations, but in reality is slaughtering humans, becoming a mass murderer. As she ups her dosage, the drug begins to alter the chemical balance in her brain, and she begins to become enveloped into this dark other world without the heroin.

FilmRise To Introduce North America To Scariest Place On Earth!

Press Release:

FilmRise has acquired North America home media rights from Gravitas Ventures for the hit Sundance documentary-horror hybrid The Nightmare, a terrifying examination of the mysterious phenomenon known as sleep paralysis. The Brooklyn-based distributor will release the film on DVD and Blu-ray on August 4, 2015.

In The Nightmare filmmaker Rodney Ascher – who previously helmed the acclaimed Room 237 – combines captivating interviews, otherworldly bedtime re-creations and heart-stopping scare tactics to explore sleep paralysis, a condition between wakefulness and sleep in which the victim is conscious of his or her surroundings but completely immobilized. The film terrified audiences at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, where it was hailed as “one of the scariest documentaries ever” (Eric Kohn, IndieWire). Variety’s Justin Chang described the film as “a unique hybrid of documentary and horror-thriller… playful, visually inventive… Ascher has pulled off something uniquely impressive.”

Gravitas Ventures will release The Nightmare in select theaters and on Video on Demand platforms beginning June 5, 2015. The film was produced by Campfire and Zipper Bros Films.

“The Nightmare is without a doubt one of the most terrifying and original films of the year, and we are thrilled to be releasing it on DVD and Blu-ray after the incredible buzz it received at Sundance,” said FilmRise CEO Danny Fisher. “The film defies genre boundaries and will frighten and fascinate audiences of all sorts.”

“Rodney Ascher has proven again that he is one of the most innovative documentarians working today,” said Julie Candelaria, Vice President of Marketing, Gravitas Ventures. “We’re very excited to have FilmRise distributing the film on DVD and Blu-ray so that an even wider audience can experience The Nightmare.”

My Review Of "Kruel"

Robert Henderson's "Kruel" is a psychological thriller with hints of horror in one intensely drawn nightmare. The film stars  Kierney Nelson, J.T. Chinn, Dakota Morrissiey, Adam Vernier, Elizabeth Brewster, Ansley Gordon, Cooper Henderson, Keegan Henderson and Tom Riska. It is a horror film without any horror. Yeah I know that that statement is argumentative considering the subject matter, but I didn't feel that "Kruel" had enough horror genre elements to be classified as a real horror movie. 

Now the story that Henderson has devised is captivating and deals with some very horrific realities of society. There is an antagonist that is creepy and nightmarish as all get out. The acting and direction that Robert Henderson takes with this film is stellar on almost all levels of story telling. It is dark, emotional, and often insanely intense. However the story stays in very dramatic, suspense thriller areas where character development and scene building reach a fevered pitch but never deliver any real heat. 

The special effects aren't really present in this "horror" film through 98% of the movie. It is all melodrama, high emotion dialog, and really cool scene transitions that combine with some very retro horror designed sounds. Only there is no real horror present. Everything stays suggestive or just not approached. Which sucks because had Henderson thrown in some noticeable giallo styled gore or graphic violence, then "Kruel" could have been a breakaway hit. Unfortunately everything stays pretty PG-13. There is one singe boob shot and one moment of gushing blood, but that comes "too little too late" for me personally.

Overall I have to say that "Kruel" is going to disappoint almost all horror fans going into this film expecting anything other than a really emotional, dramatic story. As I have said-there is no real horror here. The subject matter is horrific, the drama is intense and the story is well written. It is all just a bit "Lifetime Movie Network Adjacent". I got the same experience while watching this film that I have gotten mistakenly watching a few of the church produced "horror films". Still the acting and story are pretty nice. Just wish that the film was marketed as psychological thriller or dramatic thriller, instead of Horror thriller.
