2011 brought a lot of great horror films. From Stake Land to A Lonely Place to Die, there were a lot of films to watch and enjoy. 2011 also served up a lot of misery as well. Here at 28Dla, this reviewer has learned to dodge a few bullets in the movie world. Admittedly, this reviewer skipped Fred Andrews' Creature in theatres and the latest forced production of the Hellraiser series, titled Hellraiser: Revelations was also missed thanks to some early reviews. However a few films slipped under the radar or were shipped to the 28Dla HQ with little warning or previous info'. These are some of those films.

Some of the elements that made a terrible film this year were the inability to create tension or to create interesting characters. Without tension or thrills what is a horror film? As well, not providing any backstory for a character is a...

Anchor Bay Entertainment has now released, on DVD, the horror thiller "The Rig", starring William Forsythe, Art Lafleur, Stacey Hinnen, Serah D'laine, Marcus T. Paulk and Dan Benson:

"...When a tropical storm forces an offshore drilling company to evacuate non-essential personnel from the 'Charlie' oil rig, the small but experienced crew left behind settles in to ride out the storm. But their routine night is interrupted when a crew member goes missing and an extensive search proves futile.

"Slowly, they discover that a deadly creature is stalking the crew, eliminating them one by one. Surrounded by nothing but raging ocean with no hope of escape, the roughnecks must survive the stormy night with an unrelenting force of death hunting them down..."

Updated with artwork. Special features will include an audio commentary with director Peter Atenscio and producer James D. Benson and a behind-the-scenes featurette. The Peter Atencio-directed The Rig is reportedly hitting DVD this fall from Anchor Bay and we've got the trailer to share below. The film, which falls in line with Deepstar Six and Leviathan , stars William Forsythe, Art Lafleur, Marcus Paulk, Serah D'Laine and Stacey Hinnen. Synopsis: As a hurricane rages outside, the small but experienced crew of an oil drilling rig settles in to ride out the storm. Isolated on the rig, their calm is short lived when a crew member goes missing and an extensive search proves futile. Slowly, they discover that a deadly creature is stalking the skeleton crew, eliminating them...

The Rig BannerHow appropriate is this? An oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico is threatened to go down and take the oil workers in to the depths. Bp will not be getting all the publicity for oil spills as the relatively new director Peter Atencio brings The Rig to DVD in 2010, with help from Anchor Bay Studios. William Forsythe (Dear Mr. Gacy), Art Lafleur ("The Mentalist"), Marcus Paulk (Take the Lead), Serah D'Laine (Parasomnia) and Stacey Hinnen (Sharpshooter) will be those trying to stay alive as a mysterious creature goes about his/her/its business of murder. Watch out Bp there is someone even worse on the prowl.
