Trailer For Low Budget Horror “Bath Salt Zombies”

“Bath Salt Zombies” is an ultra low budget horror flick that plays on the modern phenomenon of crazed attacks back bath salt use but to the level of gore trash awesome. Directed by  Dustin Wayde Mills the Indie flick is scheduled to release on February 19th this year.
Present day, United States... The bath salts epidemic facing the southern and mid-western US has been stifled by an unprecedented government crackdown. Head shops have been raided and shut down, component imports from the UK, India and China have been completely stopped, and aggressive penalties for users have been instated.

This has led to a tremendous amount of surplus stock hidden by black market dealers, and a migration of those dealers (and in turn, users) to the northeast and other areas. In New York City, potent strands have surfaced and have attracted the most devoted bath salt junkies. In an attempt to outsell said strands, a young aspiring chemist has developed and even stronger batch... but something has gone horribly wrong.

The new ultra potent bath salt batch has revealed a major side effect... It turns users into violent flesh seeking "zombies." When the zombies are high on bath salts, they are completely unaware of their actions and they seem to float in and out of consciousness. When they kill / eat people, they are unaware of what has happened when they come down off the drug. The drug is also more addictive than other forms, and users feel the need to stay constantly high due to the fact they become incredibly feeble when sober. They come down HARD.

New Clip From “Maniac”

A new clip has landed for “Maniac” as well as an update on release information. We have been waiting what seems like forever for the release of this cult classic remake. It stars Elijah Wood as the notorious killer obsessed with a certain woman.

Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill. A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in present-day LA, MANIAC is a re-boot of the cult filmconsidered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made – an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiraling nightmare of a killer and his victims.”

Psychotic Saturdays! So Psycho Yet So Funny!

These six films that celebrate the psychotic are also so funny. One of the genres that has came out of the horror world is the sometimes dreaded and sometimes loved spoof movie.

1. Student Bodies (1981)

A killer named the Breather terrorizes students at a high school. Whenever the killer finds students having sex, he kills them. He has some intense issues with which to deal. He likes to breathe heavily, and he likes to make prank calls while talking through a rubber chicken. Directed by Mickey Rose and Michael Ritchie this considered “modern original” horror comedy was not the first attempt but it’s one that intentionally focused on spoofing the slasher blood drenched movie. It stars Kristen Riter, Joe Flood, Joe Talarowski, Matthew Goldsby and Jerry Belson.




2. Motel Hell (1980)

“Motel Hell” was a year before “Student Bodies” but even as a parody the film focused on the gory effects of traditional horror films. The film was so exaggerative with over-the-top acting and cheap effects combined with hilarious premise that it is just too funny to take serious. Farmer Vincent kidnaps unsuspecting travellers and is burying them in his garden. Unfortunately for his victims, they are not dead. He feeds his victims to prepare them for his roadside stand. His motto is: It takes all kinds of critters...to make Farmer Vincents fritters. Directed by Kevin Connor and stars Rory Calhoun, Nina Axelrod, Paul Linke and Nancy Parsons.




3. “Scary Movie” (2000)

A group of teenagers including Cindy Campbell and Bobby Prinze, accidentally hit a man when driving, and dispose of the body, but now they are being stalked by a very recognisable masked killer.

In early 2012, filmmaker Billy Chen answered a Craigslist ad looking for someone to document possible paranormal behavior. What he found were two sexually retarded friends scheming to impress a beautiful woman who believed their house was haunted. They were willing to face their darkest fears to get in her pants. She was determined to speak with the dead. No one was prepared for the demon whore they found instead. This film is not for those with weak hearts or strong genitals.

Gory Image From “Backmask”

Bloody Disgusting produced an image from Marcus Nispel’s next film “Backmask”. The supernatural nightmare is in post production and stars Gage Golightly, Michael Ormsby, Stephen Lang, Kelly Blatz, Brett Dier, Nick Nicotera, Nick Nordella and Brittany Curran. Based on the raw and gritty nature of the image this film should be a real treat as far as special effects go, I could be over estimating. The natural post mortem look to the image shows a very concentrated desire for a realistic feel. I could believe this is a decapitated head or dying victim- very creepy! Below is the synopsis as well image from the film.

During a sex, drugs, and rock-fueled party, six small-town teenagers find an old vintage record and decide to play it backwards in order to listen for any subliminal/satanic messages. Lo and behold, a seemingly malevolent spirit quickly infiltrates the group, wreaking havoc as it moves from one body to another. Eventually, however, it’s revealed that the spirit in question is actually trying to convey a message….and that the real source of horror isn’t particularly paranormal, but rather something (or someone) much closer to home.

Check Out The Trailer For “The Stranger Inside”

Probably the first thing I might watch that has William Baldwin in it since “Virus”! The movie is directed by Adam Neutzsky-Wulff and is scheduled to premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on Feb. 9th. It also stars Estella Warren and Sarah Butler. Check out the trailer below.

Promo For “Time To Kill” Released

Mostly Harmless Pictures has released some promo artwork for their homage to 70’s exploitation cinema. “Time To Kill” is currently in production and is being helmed by Indie directed Brian Williams. It stars Ellie Church, Brigid Macaulay, Jason Hignite and promises a pure throwback to cult classic grindhouse. According to Horror Society the plot is being kept hushed for now but will be those final moments leading up to the last hours of Ellie Church’s character-Sarah’s life.  There isn’t a lot to get excited just yet about the project but 2012 showed me a new appreciation for exploitation films and the dreaded “torture-porn” cinema ( I hate that term, not the genre) and as always the heart of Horror lies in Independent companies that deserve more love!
