Human Centipede: First Sequence

Directed by Tom Six

Human Centipede: First Sequence (review) was a sensation ever since its first mention. Stephen Colbert even talked about it at the 2010 Emmys Awards broadcast! The premise cannot be simpler. Two pretty American girls are on a road trip through Europe.

In Best Worst Movie, Michael Stephenson makes his directorial debut by exploring one of the worst and most critically panned movies ever made, Troll 2, which he starred in twenty years ago as a child. In 1989, Italian director, Claudio Fragrasso cast small-town dentist Dr. George Hardy and a group of unwitting Utah actors in the ultra-low budget horror film, Troll 2. Soon after its disastrous release, Dr. Hardy retired from his short-lived acting career and returned to dentistry in his hometown of Alabama, unaware of the legions of fans that would one day recognize him as a cult movie luminary. Twenty years later, Dr. Hardy's days of drilling cavities are met by nights of signing autographs at sold-out revival screenings throughout the world.

• Monogram Releasing has announced that it will release Kevin Tenney’s zombie gorefest Brain Dead in select theaters March 20 as part of The B Movie Nation. See below for a complete list of the venues where the movie will be splattering onto screens.

Scripted by Dale Gelineau, Brain Dead (which has no connection to either the Peter Jackson film a.k.a. Dead/Alive, or the Roger Corman production with Bill Pullman) begins with a meteorite falling to Earth with an organism attached that infects a fisherman and turns him into a brain-eating ghoul. Pretty soon he has transformed numerous others into ravenous undead, and they terrorize a motley sextet of people who take shelter in a cabin in the woods. Joshua Benton, David Crane, Sarah Grant Brendecke, Michelle Tomlinson, Andy Forrest and Cristina Tiberia star; Bad Biology’s Gabe Bartalos created the copious makeup FX. You can check out...
