With films like Raze getting a lot of attention lately, the question beckons... will combat horror be the next subgenre to hit it big? Given that Donald Lawrence Flaherty’s Brutal has added aliens to the mix, it just might!

Described as Fight Club meets “The Twilight Zone,” the film stars Morgan Benoit (Forbidden Kingdom, 47 Ronin) and features fight sequences created by two of Hollywood’s top stunt performers, Colin Follenweider (Avatar, X-Men) and Chris Torres (Letters from Iwo Jima).

Synopsis:

Brutal centers on Trevor (Morgan Benoit), who is abducted at the age of fifteen by an unseen alien presence. Forced into nearly two decades of no-holds-barred fights against other abductees, Trevor evolves from an innocent boy into a brutal fighting machine.

Derek (Jeff Hatch), an ambulance chasing lawyer, is the latest lab-rat abductee forced to fight Trevor. As they exchange increasingly violent beatings over the course of weeks and months,...

When we put two good things together, like chocolate and peanut butter, we sometimes come up with something great, like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. But when you put two bad things together, like zombies and Nazis, you always get a nightmare. This is the inspiration for 935: A Nazi Zombie Series.

935 is a web series inspired by the popular Call of Duty: Zombies video game. Jake Akuna directs the series, which he co-wrote with Roxanne Magcalas. Yuri Lowenthal stars along with Nicholas B. Gianforti, Xin Wuku, Sven Holmberg, and Chris Torres.

And here's the great part: if Nazi zombies are your thing, we've got the first two full episodes right here for your viewing pleasure, courtesy of director Jake Akuna himself! What a guy! Check them out below along with the original teaser trailer.

There was tension, and a shoving match, between Ami James and tattoo artist Chris Torres on last week's debut of 'NY Ink' (Thur. 10Pm on TLC). On Thursday's show, James was already contemplating firing Torres, but let some of his staff talk him out of it. Eventually they agreed to settle their differences the old-fashioned way, by sparring in the basement gym of the Wooster Street Social Club. It didn't turn out so well for Torres.

"First kick, he hit my leg, he kicked me with a low kick," said James. That didn't sit well with him, so he returned the kick and split Toress' shin. Tores started out well, but wound up bloodied and pinned underneath James.

The 'Ink' franchise got a new entry with the premiere of 'NY Ink' (Thu., 10Pm Et on TLC). The new series follows Ami James from 'Miami Ink' as he sets up shop back in his roots at the Big Apple. But it's a big venture and a big investment for James, so he needs things to go smoothly.

With all that stress, it's no wonder that tattoo artist Chris Torres kept getting on his nerves. For one thing, Torres has an entitled attitude that would annoy everyone. When he misplaced his keys, he asked fellow artist Megan Massacre if she was hiding them, adding, "You better not be."

When he went to talk to James about it, the latter was still sore that Torres had taken his tattoo machine earlier without asking. So he simply walked away from Torres, telling him it was his problem.
