"Something happened at the speakeasy." A trailer has arrived for an indie sci-fi thriller titled The Tangle, from actor / filmmaker Christopher Soren Kelly making his feature directorial debut. Described as a "lyrical new science-fiction film" and quotes in the trailer say it's "a chess game of a film" that's both ingenious and ambitious, a complex story intertwining sci-fi with meticulous filmmaking. The film is set in a future where microdrones have been invented, filling the air, the water, and our blood. "In this world, it is impossible to keep a secret anywhere but in your S.O.L. (the "Secure OnTangle Line"), a quantum encrypted hard drive implanted in your brain." The plot follows a murder investigation involving secret government agents and The Tangle creators and more. Starring Joshua Bitton, Christopher Soren Kelly, Jessica Graham, Nicole da Silva, Anil Kumar, Mary Jane Wells, and Bel Deliá. This looks cool, I'm curious to watch.

When the guests show-up, a murder takes place and everyone is a suspect.

The film's trailer has just been released and can be found below. This whodunnit shows guests arriving at the dinner, in the trailer. Their is a bit of bickering as guests take their place.

With The Bride turning 84 this year, the latest episode of Gemr's Collection Complete series explores the female creature and her iconic look, and we also have details on Gemr's Bride of Frankenstein giveaway. Also in today's Horror Highlights: Murder Made Easy Blu-ray and Clownado release details, as well as a Q&A with composer Geoff Zanelli from The Intruder.

Collection Complete Series Details and Giveaway: "As a little kid, she was the first female monster I’d ever seen, and I wanted to be her,” says artist Micheline Pitt on the 84th anniversary of the 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein’s titular character, “and when I got older, I actually met (makeup effects artist) Rick Baker, and he asked me if I’d be interested in working with him on a project where he would make me into his own version of her.”

Unearthed by the docu-series Collection Complete, the show...

108 Media has debuted the trailer and poster for its thriller BnB Hell, which is currently available on Digital HD and VOD in the U.S. and Canada. The harrowing thriller can currently be purchased through iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube and Microsoft Store. This footage may make you think twice about checking out that quaint bed and breakfast you found online, because it might not be as advertised, and may end up costing you your life.

The trailer, which comes courtesy of 108 Media showcases a young woman named Willa (Kimberly Woods), who has been on the hunt for her missing sister, which ends at a rundown bed and breakfast in the Hollywood Hills run by an ill-tempered woman called Mommy (Carol Stanzione). When she discovers a camera in her room, another guest Marco (Victor Dobrev) tells her that it's the house camera, for guests to record video diaries, although it has been mysteriously turned. After checking the camera, Willa finds disturbing messages left by former guests, which suggest unsettling secrets lay buried there.

The supporting cast includes Timothy Lee DePriest as Baby, Victor Turpin as Sam, John Stevenson as Derek, Olivia Steifel as Alex, Jessica Graham as Jackie, Shayla Famouri as Darla, Tallie L. Brinson as Nathan and Stefanie Maxwell as Emily. The film marks the feature directorial debut of director Andrew Jordan, which has been freaking out horror fans with it's terrifying premise and shocking twist ending since debuting on VOD and Digital HD last week. Andrew Jordan previously directed episodes of the web series Chicks Flippin' the Script and the short film Heartprints, which he also produced and edited.

The film was written by Andrea Harrison, which marks her writing debut, although she has been a working actress for several years. She has appeared in films such as American Virgin, Violent Blue, Blue Dream, Mickey's Summer Resort, Caged Beauty and this year's Darling Nikki. She has also appeared on TV shows such as The League, Greek, True Blood and Castle, while also serving as a producer on BnB Hell, along with the TV series Miracle Mile Girls and the feature film A Beautiful Now. It remains to be seen if this writer-actress has more projects in development.

While there is no theatrical release date for this new thriller, it could very well find a home with horror fans on Digital HD and VOD formats. Since this film marks both the director and writer's feature debuts, we could certainly be hearing much more from them in the near future, if fans respond positively to BnB Hell. While we wait for more on these filmmakers, take a look at the trailer and poster for BnB Hell below.

Every once in a while a note comes across our desks about a new horror film that for whatever reason we haven't heard about until just before its release. One such project is Howie Askins' Devil Girl, which is being described as a throwback to 70's grindhouse horror.

The indie feature stars Jessica Graham, Joe Wanjai Ross, Vanessa Kay, Jeff Swarthout, and C.J. Baker and was co-written by director Askins and Tracy Wilcox. Devil Girl will have a limited theatrical release Sept 18th and 19th at Madcap Theaters in Tempe, Arizona, and will play at the Times Square Arts Center in NYC on September 18th. The DVD will be released November 10th, 2009, and starting December 9th you can see Devil Girl on iNdemand.
