Check Out The Multi-Dimensional Exit Strategies In “7even Styles Of Suicide”

“7even Styles Of Suicide” is a an independent film that explores the breaking point between despair and suicide of someone who’s downward spiral has taken it’s toll. The film is the dark revelation of German Indie company Extreme-scRIPt-crew and currently seeking funding on Euro crowdfunding site StartNext.

Klaus Müller is torn from his heart completely smooth running life. Unemployment, divorce, the debt grows. Severity, depressive tendencies give him the rest he sees only one way out of the rat race of life - suicide!
Sounds simple, but it is not!
Murphy's Law - everything that can go wrong goes wrong too.
How?
 
Well the actual exit strategy that Klaus takes will be left up to whether or not this short film is made which I completely see happening, in which the finality of “7even Styles Of Suicide” will see the despair of this depressed and stressed soul end what I can only imagine will be a fantastically gory finish! Check out the teaser for the film below. And remember Horror is universal!
 

 

 

Check Out Second Teaser For “American Horror Story: Asylum”

The second mysterious teaser for season 2 of ‘American Horror Story’ releases us to a rather unholy allure of life in the habit. The short sequence opens to a white sterile room where a glowing ghostly nun enters to place the powder blue coat  on the wall. The color blue usually represents a desire to bring calm into an environment of chaos or agitation. Something that we know is necessary to quail the restlessness of unsettled souls. As the nun places this garment against the wall and moves to her position of rest we see a black nun in a small cubby praying as she faces the wall. The white nun only casually glances in the black nun’s way before giving a sly glance toward the camera. All this is to tease and make us revel in the wonders that will be an American Horror Story far different from season one. Life in an asylum where Catholicism is king and Jessica Lange is God. It will be a truly nightmarish and intensely twisted show indeed. Season two of ‘American Horror Story’ begins in October!

Satanic Sundays: Six Sinful Movies To Celebrate The Day!

Welcome to another Satanic Sunday. A day of unholy celebration to frighten the soul. For this day I always like to take the time and pick six movies that bring the sin in and show the darker side of spiritual awakening. This week my films deal with the devil and the  consortium of souls that will do anything to show their devotion.

1. Sinthia: The Devil’s Doll (1970)

When Cynthia Kyle becomes a woman she celebrates this change by murdering her parents, because her father’s love was only meant for her. Vivid dreams of Lucifer, orgies, and her parents plague her throughout a nightmarish journey. She then seeks the help of a psychologist in an effort to resolve her torment. Directed by Ray Dennis Steckler the film stars Shula  Roan, Peter Balakoff, Bret Zeller, and Gary Kent.

(could not locate a decent trailer but did find this video of the films highlight moments set to music)


2. Incubus (1966)

Directed by Leslie Stevens “Incubus” has William Shatner fighting the forces of evil on an island that is plagued with demons and spirits. The film also stars Allison Ames, Eloise Hardt and Robert Fortier.

3. Satanico Pandemonium (1975)

“Satanico Pandemonium” is a Spanish film that sees a nun dealing with ravenous visions of lust and forbidden sexual acts in a folly to cross over to Satan. The film is directed by Gilberto Martinez Solares and stars Enrique Rocha, Cecilia Pezet, Delia Magana, and Clemencia Colin.



4. The Devil Rides Out( 1968)

Directed by Terence Fisher and starring Christopher Lee, Charles Gray, Nike Arrighi, and Leon Greene. The film is about the Duc de Richeleau and his friend Rex who discover their young charge Simon has fallen in with the powers of Darkness and is about to be baptized into the service of evil. The Duc is fortunately versed in such matters and finds himself locked in a duel with the deadly Mocata, disciple of the left-hand path.

5. All The Colors Of The Dark (1972)

“All The Colors Of The Dark” is about a woman who has a miscarriage after a terrible car accident. Afterwards she becomes the target of a coven of devil worshipers. The film stars George Hilton, Edwige Fenech, Ivan Rassimov, and Julian Ugarte and was directed by Sergio Martino.

6. Doctor Faustus (1967)

“Doctor Faustus” tells the story of a man who sells his soul for the love of a woman and the price he must pay for his desires. The film stars Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor and was directed by Richard Burton with Nevill Coghill.

(note- instead of the trailer for this one I found a really cool fan made video that takes the best of this film’s intent and sets it to some great classical music)

Hope you all enjoy these movies, as bad as they may seem to most they are awesome to me. So on this holy unholy day enjoy some sinfully bad cinema!

Julian Richards is about to give life to “The Gryphon” a perfect killer first brought to life by New York Times best selling author Brian Harper.

Plus making her feature film debut is model Nikita Esco.

“Shiver” is currently in post production and has a fund campaign that is still on going at Indiegogo. The goal of the campaign is to help with finalizing post production needs, and marketing the completed film to festivals and potential buyers. Based on the trailer there should be no problem with getting this film out to the public. It looks to be an intense, edgy thrill ride and HELLO! Danielle Harris! Check out the trailer for “Shiver” below then jump over to Indiegogo to learn more about this gem. After that hit up the Facebook Page to keep up the deets on this one-I know I will be watching for it.
