We return with the latest edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes release details for A Resurrection, the first teaser trailer for Ten, a review of Smiley, and much more:

First Teaser Trailer for Ten: “Ten is a collectivist, post-exploitation psychological thriller devised as a possible explanation for the events of the 1972 Spektor Island Massacre. On a cold December afternoon, ten women arrive at a mansion on Spektor Island, famed for years of reported hauntings and strange activities. Will they live through the night?

The all-female cast film is a response to exploitation, slasher, and thriller films, with particular focus on the kind of storytelling prominent in b-movies and genre films from the 1950s to the 1980s. It explores the meaning and fluidity of identity and takes a number of surprising turns, paying homage to filmmakers and producers such as Alfred Hitchcock,...

Our friends across the pond in the UK have been enjoying Dragon Wasps for a while now, but come March, thanks to XLrator Media, we'll be seeing it on DVD here in the States as well.

Directed by Joe Knee, Dragon Wasps (UK DVD review here) stars Corin Nemec, Dominika Juillet, Benjamin Easterday, and Nikolette Noel.

The Dinosaur Project

Stars: Natasha Loring, Matt Kane, Richard Dillane, Peter Brooke, Stephen Jennings | Written by Sid Bennett, Jay Basu | Directed by Sid Bennett

The Dinosaur Project is the (fictional) story of a missing Congo expedition and the findings of the Cryptozoological Society to audiences around the world. The film features stunning recovered footage of creatures thought to be extinct for 65 million years. As the search for the missing crew continues, questions remain about the source of the missing footage and the manner in which it was discovered.

Before I go any further, here’s the now-defacto disclaimer: This is a found-footage movie. And you all know how much I despise the sub-genre. When it’s done wrong it’s usually done Very wrong and when it’s good… Well I can’t remember the last time it was! What also works against The Dinosaur Project is that you just...

As we get ever closer to the September 17th UK DVD release of Dragon Wasps, the buzz is increasing, and as such, we have a brand new clip for you to feast your mandibles on – entitled "Head Explosion." Yummy!

Unfortunately, unbeknownst to them the land they’re desperate to cross is Government protected, and without the correct documentation they subsequently find themselves stopped dead in their tracks and whisked away to...

Now the British summer has made a belated reappearance, we can expect a few downsides such as hay fever, sunburn and insect bites - but no flying pests in our gardens can rival Dragon Wasps. And a can of the standard repellent probably won't do much good either.

This giant creature feature is written by Mark Atkins. His previous genre outings include numerous hit-inspired 'mockbusters' such as Snakes on a Train, 30,000 Leagues Under The Sea, War of the Worlds 2, Allan Quartermain and the Temple of Skulls, Princess of Mars (an alternative version of John Carter), Battle of Los Angeles and Avh: Alien vs Hunter.

He's also been involved in several dragon-themed productions including Dragonquest, Merlin and the War of the Dragons, and Dragon Crusaders.

Now offering an insect slant on the concept, the cast of Dragon Wasps features Corin Nemec (Stargate Sg-1, Smallville, Supernatural), Dominika Juillet (Dark Angel), Benjamin Easterday...

Chelsea Films are set to unleash an army of dragon wasps across the UK, well I say unleash an army of wasps – they’re actually going to release the DVD of giant-insect flick Dragon Wasps, which stars Corin Nemec (Stargate Sg-1; Smallville; Supernatural), Dominika Juillet (Dark Angel), Benjamin Easterday (Stargate SG1; Fast & Furious 5) and Nikolette Noel (The Expendables 2), in the UK on September 24th.

Written by Mark Atkins, whose work you may know from films such as Sand Sharks, Battle of Los Angeles and Princess of Mars, and directed by Joe Knee (Cult), Dragon Wasps is best described as the ultimate cross breed between timely jungle thrillers like Predator and Anaconda and gigantic critter delights such as Eight Legged Freaks and Lake Placid, in other words it’s a relentless giant-creature action hybrid that blows Roger Corman right out of the water!

Following the release of the first clip in early August,...

Get a kick out of giant man-eating insects? Then you'll want to tune into this new clip from Joe Knee's upcoming creature feature, Dragon Wasps. There isn't a wealth of story revealed in this brief video, but we do get a look at the vicious titular creature, which looks surprisingly cool (that CGI work is actually fairly solid).

There are times when we really, really appreciate our jobs. Instead of slaving away at the usual 9 to 5'er, we get to report on horror movies. The crazier, the better. One look at this second trailer for Dragon Wasps, and you, too, will be grinning from ear-to-ear!

Piranhaconda isn’t the only new b-movie creature trailer dropping today. Gigantic fire-spewing wasps terrorize soldiers in the trailer for Dragon Wasps. Is it wrong I think this looks more fun than Piranhaconda?

Typically wasps are known for their stingers. Stingers look to be the least of your worries here what with these dragon wasps earning their namesake with their ability to project fire like flying flamethrowers.

We could all use an island getaway, am I right? Fun in the sun. Powdery sand. Calm ocean waters lulling us to sleep while the super clean air has us breathing easier. It's just too bad that sometimes even in paradise the shit can hit the fan.

Check out some early art, stills, and even the sales trailer below.

After a group of college kids vanish in the Caribbean Islands, one of the missing girls is found floating on a yacht off the Florida coast.
