The trailer which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of youths. For them, an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare in Brute 1976.

Drawing inspiration for ’70s horror classics The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, the indie film will be released digitally on August 26 via Cinephobia Releasing.

Set in August 1976, Raquel and her girlfriend have car trouble and break down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. At the same time, a group of people are in the desert for a photoshoot. Soon, they stumble upon an abandoned town where a family of masked psychopaths reside.

Marcel Walz directs from a script by frequent collaborator Joe Knetter. Neon Noir produces.

Here’s all the new horror that released from May 26 – May 30, 2025!

In A Hard Place, the monsters that roam the day and creatures that rule the night are separate entities, and they’re both out to kill genre favorites like Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp).

The indie horror-thriller was released onto VOD outlets this past Tuesday.

"Ohhh how he loved his dolls..." Lionsgate has unveiled the official trailer for this indie horror film called Pretty Boy, made by LA-based genre filmmaker Marcel Walz as one of his latest horror features. This is finally getting a VOD release in May this year four years after it first debuted. Pretty Boy premiered at both FrightFest and the Popcorn Frights Film Festival back in 2021. Suffering from blindness after a botched laser surgery, Hollywood actress Faye is abducted from her hillside estate by a masked lunatic named Pretty Boy. This masked killer takes Faye from her home up in the Hollywood hills and crashes a Valentine's Day party where the bloodshed continues. The indie horror film Sarah French as Faye, with Heather Grace Hancock, Devanny Pinn, Jake Red, Andrew Rohrbach, Sarah Nicklin, Fritzi Marth, Jed Rowen. This looks mostly mediocre & derivative - I guess there's a reason this took four years to finally get released.

We’ve been waiting years for director Marcel Walz’s Pretty Boy, a follow-up to his 2019 “stylish, dreamy slasher” Blind (watch it Here, read my review at This Link) – and now, finally, we know exactly when it’s going to make its way out into the world, as Lionsgate has announced that they’re giving Pretty Boy a VOD release on May 27th! The trailer can be seen in the embed above.

Described as a “gloriously melodramatic suspense slasher,” Pretty Boy is about a masked killer named Pretty Boy, who takes a blind woman from her home in the Hollywood hills and crashes a Valentine’s Day party where the bloodshed continues as he runs amok with his butcher knife. Expect disco lights, glitter, a killer soundtrack, and lots and lots of gore! Here’s the synopsis: Suffering from blindness after a botched laser surgery, Hollywood actress Faye is abducted...

Evil wears a new face in Pretty Boy, a Valentine’s Day-themed sequel to the 2019 indie horror film Blind.

The love letter to ’80s slashers will be released on VOD May 27 from Lionsgate and Grindstone Entertainment.

Suffering from blindness after a botched laser surgery, Hollywood actress Faye is abducted from her hillside estate by a masked lunatic named Pretty Boy. He drags her to a nearby home, where several decadent swingers are throwing a retro Valentine’s Day party. As the partiers meet up one by one with Pretty Boy and his machete, Faye awakens and struggles to plot her escape.

Blind director Marcel Walz (Blood Feast) and writer Joe Knetter (Twilight of the Dead) reunite for more bloodshed along with Sarah French as Faye and Jed Rowen as Pretty Boy.

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.

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

Bloody Disgusting has your first look at exclusive stills from the standalone sequel below, including Tokio Hotel frontman Bill Kaulitz in his film debut.

Gigi Gustin (Night of the Missing), Sarah French (Blind), Pancho Moler (3 From Hell), Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), and Heather Grace Hancock (“Wicked City”) also star.

Dazelle Yvette, Jed Rowen (Blind), Joey Jupiter- Levin, Sarah Kaplan, Mark Justice (Death Count), Matt Wiggins, Ryan James (Mutilator 2), Ramiro Leal (Planet Dune), James Preston (“The Bay”), Scotch Hopkins (Verotika), and Bishop Stevens (Girl on the Third Floor) round out the cast.

Back in 1922, after an extended battle with the censors of the time (who were unhappy with the subject matter of “doctors creating artificial life and attempting to play God”), Goldwyn Pictures released a silent horror film called A Blind Bargain, which starred the legendary Lon Chaney as both Dr. Arthur Lamb and his assistant, the Ape Man. Sadly, A Blind Bargain went on to become a lost film, as MGM destroyed the original negative years after they took over Goldwyn Pictures, and the last surviving print is thought to have burned in the same 1965 fire in Vault #7 on the MGM backlot that also resulted in the loss of London After Midnight and other Lon Chaney films. Now, director Paul Bunnell has made a reimagining of A Blind Bargain, and we have the Exclusive first look at the trailer. Check it out in the embed above!

Plot: When filmmaker Mason Maestro throws a private party after production wraps on his new slasher flick, someone dressed like the killer in the movie starts knocking off the partiers one-by-one.

Review: After working together on the stalker film Blind (read my review at This Link) and its sequel Pretty Boy (which we’re still anxiously waiting to see), director Marcel Walz, screenwriter Joe Knetter, and star Sarah French have teamed up once again to launch a production company called Neon Noir. Their first production is That’s a Wrap, a giallo slasher that takes both clear inspiration from the works of Italian filmmakers like Mario Bava and Dario Argento – especially due to the fact that Walz and cinematographer Marcus Friedlander have soaked nearly every shot in colorful lighting – and from the Scream franchise, in that it’s a meta film where the characters work in the horror business.

As Terry Alexander...

That’s a Wrap begins with a double cameo as Alexis the victim in That’s a Wrap’s pre-title segment takes a call from her manager before making a bloody exit at the hands, and blade, of a killer dressed as The Mistress, the masked killer from the giallo That’s a Wrap.

Confused? Don’t be, That’s a Wrap is an exercise in meta filmmaking set at the wrap party for director Mason Maestro’s latest film, That’s a Wrap. Mason, his wife Lily, and the film’s producer played by Frédéric von Anhalt, best known for being married to Zsa Zsa Gabor will all be there.

Space Wars: Quest for the Deepstar, an action-packed sci-fi adventure movie from Garo Setian, director of the sci-fi thriller Automation (watch it Here, read our review Here), is now available on DVD and digital, and to mark the occasion a new trailer has been released that’s packed with quotes from some of the positive reviews the film has received.

Spoiler Alert… I f**king loved Space Wars: Quest for the Deepstar.

This was quite possibly the most fun I have had watching a sci-fi movie as of late… Any budget! You know you’re in for an absolute ride when in the first 10 minutes the line “I’m going to bathe in your blood and tears” is dropped. Normally a scary thought if it hadn’t been for the massive lava dragon wormy dinosaur thing moments prior.

I will always be a fan of a movie that is fully aware that it maybe doesn’t have the budget it needs to be the movie it wants to be, but does not let that stand in its way of throwing...

Plot: Space scavengers and a group of mercenaries race across the cosmos in a search for a long-lost freighter that is said to contain great treasure.

Review: I have a lot of admiration for filmmakers who don’t let financial limitations stifle their creativity or force them to minimize the scope of their stories. In that regard, there’s a lot to admire about director Garo Setian’s sci-fi adventure film Space Wars: Quest for the Deepstar. Just like the title instantly brings to mind Star Wars, Space Wars is reminiscent of the low budget sci-fi movies producers like Roger Corman pumped out in the wake of the original Star Wars’ success. You know, movies like Battle Beyond the Stars and the movies that featured stock footage from Battle Beyond the Stars. Space Wars just happens to have been made on an even lower budget than those had.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched a low-budget sci-fi action movie that wants to be a big-budget sci-fi movie but that’s exactly what you get with Space Wars: Quest For The Deepstar. The filmmakers did not let a lack of funds get in the way of lots of CGI, huge monsters, spacecraft and futuristic weaponry!

In Space Wars: Quest For The Deepstar we see various groups of people crossing paths across the galaxy all linked basically in wanting to kill each other. Of course, we do get the ‘good guys’, the father and daughter duo of Kip (Michael Pare) and Taylor (Sarah French). They soon get chased by a group of outlaws when they pick up...

Pretty Boy Trailer: "The genre specialized company Black Mandala presents the horror movie Pretty Boy, directed by Marcel Walz.

I’m going to be totally honest here and state that I did not see Marcel Walz’s Blind, of which this film – Pretty Boy – is a direct sequel. A direct sequel in early Friday the 13th style, where this film literally continues exactly after the events of the first movie (which are recapped somewhat in the opening titles) and continue what, I have no doubt, will be an extended series of films featuring our creepy masked-faced killer.

Er, “mask faced killer”, does that sound Just like the Friday the 13th franchise to you? I jest but it seems, given how much this film focuses on blood, guts and gore – much mores than the first (apparently) – that Walz’s is very much following that series footsteps...

One of more entertaining bits of indie horror from the last few years is “Blind,” a gloriously melodramatic suspense thriller that veers into slasher from director Marcel Walz and writer Joe Knetter, that slipped in amid all the chaos of the last half of 2020.

“Blind” focused on an actress (Sarah French) putting her life back together after being blinded in a botched laser eye surgery, but the hook was sex obsessed killer wearing a very Ken doll-esque mask called “Pretty Boy” (Jed Rowen). Filming just wrapped on the sequel, the eponymously titled “Pretty Boy,” and in advance of the first trailer you can enjoy some extremely cool first look images below.

“Social Distance” is a pandemic thriller filmed entirely while in the early weeks of quarantine.

After botched laser eye surgery treatment, actress Faye completely loses her vsion and is trying to get used to life in the dark. We find Faye attending support groups and making visually impaired freinds who are helping her deal with things. She’s also falling for the leader of the support group, Luke, who is a mute and can only communicate through his mobile. We are going to spend the day/night with Faye as she learns she may not be as alone in the house as she thinks.

I am skipping straight to end with this review because, honestly, Blind is pretty average, not amazing but good enough to rave about either. However… Sarah French is absolutely brilliant in the lead role and holds this film up on her shoulders aloine.

Blind Poster and Images: "Love Is “Blind” In The New Horror Masterpiece By Marcel Walz Starring Sarah French and Caroline Williams

Silent Partners has just unveiled the first look poster and new stills from the upcoming feature Blind, the highly anticipated new horror thriller by Blood Feast remake director Marcel Walz.

Blind follows Faye (Sarah French), a former actress that lost her vision due to botched laser eye surgery, struggles to put her life back together while living alone in her dream house in the Hollywood Hills.

Lovers of camp cinema and the Drive-in horror classics of the 1950s have a new reason to celebrate. In 2017, we're getting the sure to be classic I Was a Teenage Wereskunk. Today, we have the trailer for this dumpster diamond. And we have a poster that gleefully screams, 'Half man, half skunk, all stink!'

Beware: This trailer will scare the smell out of you! Neal McLaughlin directs I Was a Teenage Wereskunk as an homage to the works of John Waters. The premise is simple, it follows a teenager who transformers into the murderous wereskunk whenever he gets horny. His monstrous new appearance occurs shortly after getting sprayed in the face by an enchanted skunk.

The movie stars Scott Monahan, Shey Lyn Zanoti, and Charlie Farrell. You can purchase the film now off the film's official website or order it up on Amazon video-to-go. The trailer is really something...

Two bitter TV stars grow to giant proportions due to a scientific accident. They carry on their battle, destroying Hollywood. Naked. Maybe. That's the enticing premise behind the retro-throwback Giantess Attack. We have the first trailer. And it promises the best worst movie of 2017. Maybe.

In Giantess Attack, two unemployable actresses become real superheroes thanks to twin space fairies. This is a true homage to Ultraman, Electra Woman and all those happy 70's Saturday Mornings spent as a kid in front of the TV. This sci-fi throwback stars Tasha Tacosa, Rachel Riley, Christine Nguyen, Jed Rowen, Robert "Corpsy" Rhine and Jay Woelfel. The movie was successfully funded by Kickstarter earlier in the year.

Jeff Leroy directs Giantess Attack, though no screenwriting credits are given. We're not sure why or how that is possible after witnessing some off the great one-liners in the trailer, unless this is all improvised. Leroy is...

Give All Of Your Love To Johnny X!
