In the mood for some Neo-Latinxploitation? Then we're certain that writer/director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza's 'Bring Me the Head of the Machine Gun Woman' (Aka 'Traiganme la cabeza de la mujer metralleta') is likely to be right up your street. It heads to UK theatres from 27 September with a subsequently planned DVD, Blu-ray and VOD release courtesy of Clear Vision from 7 October. The action-filled feature from Espinoza stars the gorgeous Fernanda Urrejola ('Whispers of the Forest') as foxy femme-fatale known only as the Machine Gun Woman. Eric Kleinsteuber, Matias Oviedo, Jorge Alis, Victor Gonzalez, Sofia Garcia, Guillermo Saavedra and Alex Rivera also star. Head below to check out the new UK quad poster as well as the trailer....

The face of music in the U.S. is slowly changing -- well, at least its ethnicity is. When the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards released their nominees Tuesday, a familiar category was included: "Best Latino Artist of the Year."

Jennifer Lopez, Juanes, Pitbull, Wisin y Yandel and Romeo Santos are the nominees for the 2012 award and we may actually see them next to Drake, Rihanna and the Biebs live from Los Angeles’ Staples Center during the Sept. 6 broadcast even though the award is on a separate voting site.

While we'll find out the winner of the "Best Latino Artist of the Year" during the MTV Video Music Awards, the winning artist will not be officially crowned until the separate Spanish-subtitled showing on Tr3s: MTV, Música y Más on Sept. 15.

Even though the award winner will not accept the title during the live broadcast, the bigger issue at hand may be the award category itself.

Maya Entertainment will be distributing Jason Daly's (Sigma Die!) Beware on DVD October 18th. This is a backwoods slasher, where a tortured young boy returns to life with an agenda. That agenda is to kill those who trespass in his barren neck of the woods. Maya Entertainment has just released the DVD artwork for this title (left), which shows one female character chained and bloodied. The tagline for this feature is "you've been warned," but is this film original?

The second trailer for the feature, which is hosted below, shows the killer, Shane, for the first time and a curious Sheriff. However, the film seems to be following some of the formulas of the cabin-in-the-woods style of filmmaking, based on the promotional material available. In this genre youths enter an isolated locale like Rob Schmidt's Wrong Turn (2003). Here, they drink and party e.g. House of Wax, before...

Maya Entertainment has picked up Jason Daly's horror film Beware for a DVD release October 18th. The story involves an ancient legend in Shady Grove, involving a boy chained to a tree and left to die. Now, he has returned for vengeance! To stare are Adam Leadbeater (Awakening), Alex Livinalli (Cowboys & Indians), Brandy Whitford (Damaged) and Cecilia Huete (Carpe Diem). The trailer for the picture below shows some terror and fans of the indie horror can check this title out in just a few months.

Maya Entertainment acquires and distributes films that are relevant to a developing Latino market in the United States. They have a vast library and their recent releases of Hunter Prey and Zombie Farm have been entertaining, while Playing House could have used a little more originality. Have a look at Maya's latest and possibly finest film to date, below.

Release Date: October 18th (DVD).

Director: Jason Daly.
