"ALIENS: ZONE-X" Sci-fi Action Finally Completed!!

Park Ranger Don Morgan is torn from his routine life, when he stumbles upon a UFO visitation in the arid, deserted Park Area where he resides. An inexplicable, bizarre power outage knocks out all electronics and communications, stranding a carload of hikers in the park, and downing a small plane. Searching for hydration in the blistering heat, Don must lead the survivors across an apparently abandoned Military Testing area (similar to "Area 51") called "ZONE-X". 

Is it the sun, dehydration, or is something else (a covert government mind control test or possibly aliens) playing tricks on their minds, confusing them with harrowing mirages? In order to end the extra-terrestrial's experiment on humanity, Don must summon newly found paranormal abilities and battle his arch rival "The Madman" (also stranded in the park) not to mention gigantic marauding creature monstrosities (cyborg spiders, flying beasts, huge reptiles) "created" by the Alien Greys.

"Aliens: Zone X" is directed by Thomas R. Dickens and stars David J. Burke, Holly Poplawski, Wallace Dorian, Chris Harper, Travon L. Collins, Jai Johnston, Teresa Giammusso, Jason P. Edwards, Jessica Walker, James J. Zito III. Check out the trailer released back in June for the film. "Aliens: Zone X" is in the process of festival submissions and presenting for potential distribution deals.

Red Band Trailer For "Sinister 2" Proves Horror Movies Can Be Harmful To Your Health

Red Band Trailer For "Sinister 2" Proves Horror Movies Can Be Harmful To Your Health! I mean fictionally speaking of course! Fuck, of course they can't really harm you...eeeekkkk!

Anyway! Check out the NSFW dark, sinister trailer for the sequel to "Sinister". I can't really think of too many film's in the last 6 yrs or so that made me think the sequel was better than the first. I have had films that made me think that the level of sucking was equal for each of the films in a franchise. However I think that "Sinister 2" is probably-based on the material I have seen thus far- will be better than the first!

"Sinister 2" is directed by Ciaran Foy and stars Shannyn Sossamon, James Ransone, Nicholas King, Tate Ellington. The film hits theatres on August 21st, 2015. "Sinister 2" delves deeper into the nightmare creature that is Bughuul.

In the aftermath of the shocking events in "Sinister", a protective young mother and her 9 year-old twin sons move into a rural house that Bughuul is residing in. He tries to convince one of the children to kill his whole family and film the murders.

The Official Poster And Trailer For Fan Film "The Confession Of Fred Krueger" Released

Check out the official poster and the first trailer for fan film "The Confession Of Fred Krueger". The film is inspired by the original 1984 film "A Nightmare on Elm Street" written and directed by Wes Craven. "TCOFK" is Nathan Thomas Milliner and stars Thomas Dunbar, Kevin Roach, Todd Reynolds, Steve Vessell, Eric Huskisson, Kharley Redmon and Corey Ballard.

I love fan films! They don't actually have to adhere to the stringent guidelines or mythos of the franchise they are based on. We do expect that they will hold dear the main crux of the story and creation that these horror movies have given us. Almost always they do! But they do have a bit more freedom to run with their own ideas and fan fiction story based on pure artistic inspiration. These are projects based purely on love of the genre and the monster that has touched them! 

The Springwood Police Department has just arrested a man named Fred Krueger, a janitor at the local power plant whom they believe to be the notorious Springwood Slasher. A filthy child murderer who has murdered 20 children over a 5 year long reign of terror on the nice suburban Ohio town. Krueger has been brought to the station to be interrogated by the department's senior lieutenant. Sit down with one of the most charismatic and sinister man to ever walk the earth and hear him tell his story.

Meet Bruce In First Trailer For "Lake Runs Red"

"Lake Runs Red" is one of those cool indie films that celebrate the glory days of slasher cinema with a fresh new attitude. I have been following the film's production since it was first announced, and with every new bit of info or visual goodie that comes out I get more eager to see what Red Ratio Entertainment has in store. So I am excited to say that the first official trailer has been released introducing us to the film's main character Bruce. Check it out below. From what I have seen this is an instant classic indie slasher horror that is sure to make a mark on the genre.

"Lake Runs Red" is directed by Jason Riesgraf and stars CJ DeVaan, Lauren Morris, Kaci Wegleitner, Michael Hertenstein, Helene Donohue, Troy Antoine LaFaye. In "Lake Runs Red," Bruce (played by CJ DeVaan) is a mysterious and mercurial stranger who brandishes unsavory information from the past.  The film centers on two college girlfriends who go to a secluded northern Minnesota lake cabin to prepare for final exams. An unexpected visitor stops by. He isn't there to study. You can read my interviews with "Lake Runs Red" director Jason Riesgraf and producer Jeff Fuller after you meet Bruce!
