Back at the end of 2023, we heard that the creative team behind the stalker thriller Blind, its still-unreleased sequel Pretty Boy, the slasher That’s a Wrap, and the upcoming horror film Garden of Eden, had wrapped production on Brute 1976, a horror project described as an homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. We’re waiting to hear when we’re going to have the chance to see that film – but while we wait, it has been announced that filming has wrapped on a follow-up called Brute 1986! With the project heading into post-production, the first batch of images have been revealed, along with the news that Tokio Hotel lead singer Bill Kaulitz makes his film debut in the slasher movie.

Directed by Marcel Walz from a screenplay by Joe Knetter, Brute 1986 tells the story of Leather Kobra, a sunset strip style glam metal band is...

Breaking Glass Pictures is set to release the final installment of Chad Ferrin’s ambitious Lovecraftian trilogy, Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep, on 4 March 2025. The film, which delves into cosmic terror and psychological despair, stars Edward Furlong as Ambrose London, a world-renowned oneirologist tasked with investigating a disturbing case at Arkham Asylum. When his experimental Dream Machine inadvertently opens a portal to an alien force determined to annihilate the world, London is plunged into a harrowing battle against time and his own unraveling sanity.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s enduring mythos, Ferrin’s latest work is a bold fusion of supernatural horror and visceral, practical effects. Alongside Furlong, the film features powerhouse performances from Robert Miano (Donnie Brasco) and Susan Priver, with a supporting cast that includes Bai Ling, Ginger Lynn, Lew Temple, Steve Railsback, and Cyril O’Reilly. This chilling chapter promises to push the boundaries of cosmic horror...

Breaking Glass Pictures has announced they’re handing the worldwide release of Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep, the last chapter in a trilogy of horror films from director Chad Ferrin. Ferrin’s projects, including this one, have been direct adaptions of H.P. Lovecraft stories.

Ambrose London is a renowned oneirologist who handles the toughest cases. They don’t come tougher than this latest one…he’s been summoned to an asylum to check out a seemingly possessed patient. Of course in movies in this “seemingly” means “definitely,” but not in the manner one would think.

The assumption is that the spirit is that of a 122-year-old colonial peasant. London has a special instrument he calls the “Dream Machine” that can extract these spirits from their host bodies. But it turns out it’s not a ghost at all….it’s an alien life form bent on destroying the world,...

Edward Furlong helped save humanity in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and now he has to do it again in Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep.

Based on H.P. Lovecraft‘s 1919 short story “Beyond the Wall of Sleep,” the cosmic horror film hits VOD on March 4 from Breaking Glass Pictures.

It’s the third Lovecraft adaptation from writer-director Chad Ferrin, following 2020’s The Deep Ones and 2024’s The Old Ones.

Renowned oneirologist Ambrose London is summoned to Arkham Asylum to investigate a bizarre split-personality case involving a patient seemingly possessed by a 122-year-old colonial peasant. What begins as a psychological study soon descends into unimaginable terror when London’s Dream Machine unleashes an alien life form intent on world annihilation.

Bai Ling (The Crow), Ginger Lynn (The Devil’s Rejects), Robert Miano (Donnie Brasco), Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Steve Railsback (Lifeforce), and Cyril O’Reilly (Porky’s) round out the cast.

After paying homage to ’70s horror with Brute 1976, the body count continues in the ’80s horror throwback Brute 1986 from director Marcel Walz.

Exclusive: Bill Kaulitz has swapped the concert stage for the big screen by landing his first film role.

The Tokio Hotel frontman, whose band is among Germany’s most successful music acts, has landed a role in Brute 1986, an indie pic inspired by 1980s slasher movies.

In the film, Leather Kobra, a Sunset Strip-style glam metal band films a music video in an abandoned Western town in the middle of nowhere. Ignoring ‘no trespassing’ signs, the rebellious group have no idea they are being watched by the Birdy family, who will meet them with a “level of brutality that is as vicious as it is creative,” according to producers.

Starring alongside Kaulitz are Gigi Gustin (Stiletto), Sarah French (Blind), Pancho Moler (3 From Hell), Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Heather Grace Hancock (Wicked City) and Dazelle Yvette (Garden of Eden).

Underdog sports movies have slowly died down after they became such a huge sensation in the early 2000s. The reason, of course, is the narrative structure that said films follow. There’s always the hero’s journey somewhere in there while also being about the characters who shape the story for them. With time, the trope of this underdog became redundant, but few films every now and then were able to reconfigure or at least reaffirm why such stories are always important. They are rousing, relatable and inspiring. They give us hope in times when we find ourselves corned by our big ambitions. Ty Roberts’ “You Gotta Believe” is not one of those movies, though.

I mean, it does have all the usual tropes that you find in such films. It stars Luke Wilson and Greg Kinner as the co-coaches and dads of kids who are part of a little league baseball team.

The Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox is home to a variety of unique horror content, from originals and exclusives to cult classics and documentaries. With such a rapidly-growing library, there are many hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Here are five recommendations you can stream on Screambox right now.

Evil Dead Trap

Mix up your January Giallo viewing with Evil Dead Trap. Although its title invokes Evil Dead – and there’s a bit of Sam Raimi-esque kineticism in the camerawork – the 1988 Japanese film shares more in common with the lurid Italian thrillers: a mysterious killer, elaborate murder set pieces, gruesome violence, stylish cinematography, a dreamlike atmosphere, and an infectious synth score.

Upon receiving a graphic snuff film, a late-night TV host (Miyuki Ono) rallies a small production crew to investigate its origins at an abandoned military base. The story plays out in a manner that could be considered a slasher, but...

Two years have passed since the release of musician / filmmaker Rob Zombie’s latest film, his update of the classic sitcom The Munsters, and we still don’t know what he’s going to make next (although we do have a wish list of movies we’d like to see him make). While we anxiously wait to hear what Zombie’s going to do next, we have decided to take a look back at all of the movies he has made, from House of 1000 Corpses to The Munsters, to put together a list of some of the Best Scenes from Rob Zombie movies to date.

House Of 1000 Corpses (2003): Home Visit

The feature directorial debut from Rob Zombie (who was born Robert Bartleh Cummings), the horror film House of 1000 Corpses had to overcome production issues, distribution problems, and lost footage on the way to reaching theatres two years later than expected,...

In Seven Cemeteries, a recent parolee (Danny Trejo) gets a Mexican witch to resurrect his old posse so that they can help him save a woman's ranch from a ruthless drug lord.

The movie also stars Sal Lopez, Samantha Ashley, Efren Ramirez, Vincent M. Ward, Lew Temple, Richard Esteras, and Maria Canals-Barrera, and is every bit as delightfully bonkers as it sounds. 

You don't need us to tell you that Trejo is an icon and his many credits include the likes of Con Air, Machete, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Breaking Bad, and Dusk till Dawn. Earlier this week, we had the good fortune to sit down with Danny to discuss his role as Bravo in this action-packed supernatural romp from filmmaker John Gulager.

During our interview, Trejo reflects on his extraordinary career, revealing what brings him back to this genre again and again. And, for this project, he talks...

Almost twenty years ago, viewers of the Project Greenlight reality TV series got to watch as John Gulager was hired to direct the creature feature Feast for a producing team that included Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Wes Craven. Feast went over well enough that Gulager was brought back to helm back-to-back sequels, Feast II: Sloppy Seconds and Feast III: The Happy Finish. Since then, he has gone on to direct Piranha 3Dd, Zombie Night, and Children of the Corn: Runaway. His latest movie is the action thriller Seven Cemeteries, which was just given a theatrical and digital release today, October 11th, and on Amazon it’s available to rent for the price of $6.99 or purchase for $14.99. To help you decide whether or not Seven Cemeteries is a movie you’d like to check out, we have the trailer embedded above.

Directed by Gulager from a screenplay he crafted with Joel Soisson,...

Felissa Rose, Sadie Katz, James Pratt, Eva Hamilton, Lew Temple, Rufus Dorsey, Randy Charach

Michael Merino, ( Acceleration ), is set to deliver another spine-chilling thriller with his upcoming horror film, Texas Nightmare. Felissa Rose and Lew Temple ( The Walking Dead ) have joined the cast which already includes Sadie Katz, James Pratt, Eva Hamilton and Rufus Dorsey ( Pearl Harbor ).

Texas Nightmare is being produced by veteran producer Randy Charach, whose past credits include John Travolta’s The Fanatic, Beyond the Law with Steven Segal, and Wild Oats, with Demi Moore, Jessica Lange, and Shirley MacLaine.

The plot revolves around Angie (Katz), who, in order to complete a novel, heads to an isolated home in Texas Hill Country owned by a mysterious man named Tepes (Pratt). Soon she finds herself at the center of a life-and-death struggle.

Rounding out the cast is Chelsea Newman ( Nope ), Jon Castro ( Stitches ) and David E Bailey ( Clutch...

The director of the Feast trilogy as well as Piranha 3Dd, John Gulager is back with Se7en Cemeteries, an upcoming horror movie from Quiver Distribution starring Danny Trejo.

Se7en Cemeteries will be available in select theaters and on VOD October 11, 2024.

Watch the official trailer below, which sees Danny Trejo raising an army of the dead.

In the upcoming horror movie, “A recent parolee (Danny Trejo) gets a Mexican witch to resurrect his old posse so that they can help him save a woman’s ranch from a ruthless drug lord.”

Danny Trejo stars alongside Sal Lopez, Samantha Ashley, Efren Ramirez, Vincent M. Ward, Lew Temple, Richard Esteras and Maria Canals-Barrera.

Joel Soisson and John Gulager wrote the screenplay.

The post ‘Se7en Cemeteries’ Trailer – Danny Trejo Raises the Dead in ‘Feast’ Director’s New Horror Movie appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

"Save this lady's farm – job's done." Quiver Distr. has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror comedy called Seven Cemeteries, made by filmmaker John Gulager (a Project Greenlight winner who also made Feast and Piranha 3Dd previously). As with everything else horror, this is set for release in October in time for the horror season. A recent parolee named Bravo gets a Mexican witch to resurrect his old posse so that they can help him save a woman's ranch from a ruthless drug lord. The film is loosely inspired by The Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven, as he tries to round up his old gang to get revenge... But of course it's hard to wrangle the (un)dead. Danny Trejo stars as Bravo, with Sal Lopez, Samantha Ashley, Efren Ramirez, Vincent M. Ward, Lew Temple, and Richard Esteras. Not much to see here. Even though they tried to make this all big & crazy,...

Quiver Distribution is releasing John Gulager's action, and I guess horror, Seven Cemetaries in theaters, on Digital and On Demand on October 11th, 2024. It stars everyone's favorite Mexican resteraunteur, Danny Trejo, along with Sal Lopez, Samantha Ashley, Efren Ramirez, Vincent M. Ward, Lew Temple, Richard Esteras and Maria Canals-Barrera.

You Gotta Believe stars Luke Wilson and Greg Kinnear as the coaches of an underdog Little League baseball team. This rag-tag group makes it to the Little League World Series in this semi-uplifting sports movie based on a true story. Unfortunately, You Gotta Believe doesn't transcend or subvert the well-worn genre, opting to tell a disorganized narrative that doesn't develop its characters enough to earn its climactic ending. Directed by Ty Roberts and written by Lane Garrison, You Gotta Believe will likely be a blip on the radar for audiences and the actors in the film.

The Well Go USA Entertainment film follows the true story of an underdog Texas youth baseball team as they make it all the way to the Little League World Series, to the dismay of their naysayers.

Luke Wilson stars as Bobby Ratliff, a father and coach of the team. When his character Bobby suddenly falls ill with cancer, his son and teammates rally around him and find themselves competing among the best in the country in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, at the annual tournament.

This emotional true story reached millions as it gained popularity on ESPN’s news reports 20 years ago — and now the film version hopes to inspire audiences the world over.

“You Gotta Believe...

August 29, 2024 – Hollywood tough guy Michael Madsen shatters expectations in his latest film, Mr. Wonderful, which just wrapped production in Los Angeles. The Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill star trades his signature intensity for surprising vulnerability in this indie dramedy, marking a dramatic departure from his iconic crime roles.

Madsen stars as Prof. Brian Fenton, a jaded academic fighting to keep his job while his world crumbles around him. He’s caught between a millennial son on the run from drug dealers and a father battling senility – who’s harboring shocking secrets of his own. This multi-generational family drama promises to reveal a side of Madsen audiences have never seen before.

Director Mark David (Texas Heart) describes the film as “reminiscent of David O. Russell or Judd Apatow,” adding, “It was thrilling to take a star like Madsen, known for tough crime thrillers, and watch him excel as the lead in...

Stars: Andrew Sykes, Devanny Pinn, Lew Temple, Jeremy London, Lisa Wilcox, Eileen Dietz, Nicky Whelan | Written by Eric Pereira, Brandon Slagle | Directed by Devanny Pinn

The Black Mass, the title of actress Devanny Pinn’s directorial debut is not, as one might guess, a reference to a Satanic ritual. It’s the description one of the survivors gave of the man who, across one long night in 1978, attacked four of her sorority sisters, killing two of them as well as attacking a random woman he encountered nearby.

That man was Ted Bundy. That doesn’t mean that The Black Mass is a typical true-crime film or even a straightforward slasher film. Pinn and co-writers Eric Pereira and Brandon Slagle keep the killer in the background figuratively and literally for much of the film.

While he is in almost every scene, or the scenes are shot from his perspective, for the...

Lew Temple, whose credits include The Devil’s Rejects, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, 31, The Walking Dead, The Third Saturday in October, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, is set to star in the psychological thriller Self Storage, which is based on writer/director Jay Bonansinga’s 2016 novel of the same name (you can pick up a copy Here). Professional wrestler Chris Jericho, who had a cameo in Terrifier 2 and will be returning for Terrifier 3, is executive producing the film and will also have a key supporting role in it.

Self Storage tells the story of a heroin-addicted father and his son who accidentally lock themselves inside a self-storage unit. Surviving will depend on a battle with demons both real and manufactured by drug withdrawal. Temple will be playing the lead character, a guy named Johnny Fitzgerald. I’m a big fan of Temple, so I’m glad...

Professional wrestler, musician, and Terrifier 2 actor Chris Jericho is collaborating with The Walking Dead comic book author Jay Bonansinga on upcoming psychological thriller Self Storage, per Variety.

Based on Bonansinga’s 2016 novel, Self Storage “centers on a heroin-addicted father and his son who accidentally lock themselves inside a self-storage unit. Surviving will depend on a battle with demons both real and manufactured by drug withdrawal.”

“The Walking Dead” and The Devil’s Rejects actor Lew Temple is set to play the lead character, John Fitzgerald.

Bonansinga will direct from his own script.

The film will be executive produced by Jericho’s Babyface Assassin Productions alongside Bonansinga and Jeff Siegel for Delirium Tremens, and Jason Cherubini for Dawn’s Light. Besides executive producing, Jericho will appear in a key supporting role in Self Storage. No additional character details have been announced as of yet, though.

Professional wrestler and rock musician Chris Jericho is teaming with author and filmmaker Jay Bonansinga on psychological thriller “Self Storage.”

The film is based on Bonansinga’s 2016 novel of the same name. It centers on a heroin-addicted father and his son who accidentally lock themselves inside a self-storage unit. Surviving will depend on a battle with demons both real and manufactured by drug withdrawal.

That lead character of John Fitzgerald is slated to be played by Lew Temple. Bonansinga, who previously directed the short “City of Men” (1988) and feature “Stash” (2007), will direct from his own script.

“Self Storage” is the second recent adaptation of a Bonansinga novel, following Lionsgate’s “The Killer’s Game,” based on his 1997 novel, directed by J.J. Perry and starring Dave Bautista. A prolific and bestselling author, Bonansinga is known for co-writing several novels based on “The Walking Dead” comics series, with Robert Kirkman of Skybound Entertainment...

Earlier this month, a serial killer thriller called Squealer was given a theatrical and digital release. You can watch the trailer for that one Here. Squealer drew inspiration from the story of Robert Pickton, a Canadian pig farmer who was charged with killing 26 women (but claimed to have killed 49). He would feed the bodies of his victims to the pigs. Just a couple weeks after Squealer made its way out into the world, another serial killer thriller inspired by the Pickton case has arrived in theatres, and you can watch the trailer for this one, which is called Pig Killer, in the embed above.

"Is any of this real at all?!" Gravitas has revealed an official trailer for an indie supernatural thriller titled Impuratus, from filmmaker Mike Yurinko. The title is, obviously enough, a Latin word meaning "defiled, infamous, abandoned, vile." Always using mysterious Latin words is a trope with these demonic thrillers. A police detective Clayton Douglas is summoned to a remote hospital to hear a mysterious Civil War veteran's outrageous death-bed confession that forces him to consider the supernatural. With Sister Rose providing spiritual aid, Clayton is transported back in time as he uncovers the horrifying truth behind his possession. Tom Sizemore stars as Det. Douglas, with Jody Quigley, Lew Temple, Robert Miano, Silvia Spross, and Airen DeLaMater. This is a pretty wild concept – about a man alive for hundreds of years (and not a vampire) – but will the film actually be any good? Doesn't look like it in this trailer, though you never know.

Exclusive: Ryan Donowho (The O.C.) is set to topline Art of a Hit (fka Excelsis), an indie psychological horror film directed by Gaelan Draper that will begin shooting in France this month under a SAG Interim Agreement. Rounding out the cast are Rob Raco (Riverdale), Charlie Saxton (Hung), Tim Jo (This Is Us), Allie MacDonald (Under the Silver Lake), James Earl (White Men Can’t Jump), and David Valdes (Speechless). Draper and Saxton co-wrote and are co-producing under their Dewey & Bug banner.

Set in 2003, the movie follows a bygone rock band as they journey to a 1000-year-old French chateau to record with a reclusive super-producer in hopes of rebooting their career. But as tensions rise and tempers flare, they realize they are up against more than just the pressure to succeed. Indie rock pioneer Adam Lasus is music directing the ’90s alternative-heavy soundtrack alongside music supervisor Linda Cohen (Licorice Pizza...

Dark Sky Films gave the The Third Saturday in October slasher double feature a VOD and digital release back in May, and while we haven’t heard word of a physical media release just yet, the movies have now made their way onto the Tubi streaming service!

The titles of these slashers are The Third Saturday in October: Part I and The Third Saturday in October: Part V… and if you think it’s confusing that we’re jumping right from one to five, here’s a little more information on exactly what these films are:

What if a lost horror franchise made during the peak of the slasher genre was unearthed today, but only two of the films could be restored? Filmmaker Jay Burleson imagined just that with The Third Saturday in October.

A double feature of terror, The Third Saturday in October: Part V sees unstoppable killer Jakkariah...

When a filmmaker takes on a story based on the crimes committed by a real serial killer, they have to walk a fine line. If they cross that line, it can feel disrespectful to the victims… and can even seem like they’re glorifying the killer. That’s not something Devanny Pinn intends to do with her feature directorial debut a 1970s serial killer tale called Black Mass. Speaking with Rue Morgue, she revealed that Black Mass focuses on the victims rather than the killer.

Inspired by real events, Black Mass is set over a 24-hour period in Florida during the winter of 1978 when college girls were being stalked by a serial killer.

I primarily associate distributor Dark Sky Films with Adam Green’s Hatchet / Victor Crowley slasher franchise – so it seems very appropriate that the company is now home to the old school style slasher franchise The Third Saturday in October! The two Third Saturday in October films have been making the festival rounds in recent months, and today Dark Sky Films has announced they will be giving them a VOD and digital release on May 5th!

The titles of these slashers are The Third Saturday in October: Part I and The Third Saturday in October: Part V… and if you think it’s confusing that we’re jumping right from one to five, here’s a little more information on exactly what these films are:

Paramount Pictures has hammered a multi-year, first-look deal with Parker Finn to write, produce and direct features.

Paramount took Finn’s Smile, which was destined for its streaming platform Paramount+, and turned it into a theatrical success, making it the No. 1 original horror movie of 2022 worldwide with over $216 million in box office. Among other distinctions, Smile was also the first original horror title to repeat at No. 1 at domestic box office since 2016.

Said Paramount Pictures president & CEO Brian Robbins, “Smile’s breakthrough success is a testament to Parker’s unique and fresh filmmaking, and we are thrilled that he will make Paramount his home.”

Lips are sealed as far as deal details go, but Parker is expected to write, produce and direct features in the horror genre. The studio would love a Smile sequel but it’s not clear what Finn’s next movie will be.

“Smile’s breakthrough success is a testament to Parker’s unique and fresh filmmaking, and we are thrilled that he will make Paramount his home,” said Paramount president and CEO Brian Robbins in a statement.
