Director: Chad Ferrin. Review: Adam Wing. With a tagline that reads “Don’t expect Easter eggs”, Chad Ferrin makes it pretty clear what to expect from his holiday horror Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! Chad cut his teeth on films like Unspeakable, The Ghouls and most recently, Someone’s Knocking at the Door. Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! is his fifth full-length feature, blessed with bloodthirsty killings and more crazies than a George A. Romero movie. There’s a good chance Elmer Fudd won’t be chasing down this particular wascally rabbit, but you can buy it on DVD courtesy of Cine du Monde. A murderous grifter (Timothy Muskatell) cons his way into a mother’s heart, unaware that he’ll have to make ‘nice’ with her treasured son, Nicholas (Ricardo Gray). Mindy (Charlotte Marie) has always had a penchant for ill-fitting boyfriends, unlike the little black dress she wears at the start of the movie.

What a coincidence? Today, a screener for Trent Haaga's Chop comes in the mail and also showing is the first teaser trailer for this horrifying film. The film begs the question, what if every bad deed you performed came back to you two-fold? You would become a better person real quick, right? This is the basic premise for Haaga's first film and with this actor and filmmaker, you just never know what to expect. So, welcome the bloodily violent marketing campaign for Chop, by watching the first mature rated trailer below!

A partial synopsis for the film is here:

"Every dirty deed you’ve perpetrated in the past is going to come back and bite you in the ass. Whether it’s that person you cheated on back in high school, that side-view mirror you remorselessly took out this Winter, or the time you thought it would be cool...

Dread Central got exclusive word from director Sean Cain that the website for the upcoming horror flick Breath of Hate has been completely revamped with all sorts of goodies today.

Included you'll find tons of new images, video, easter eggs and more!

Written and produced by Wes Laurie, Breath of Hate stars Ezra Buzzington, Jason Mewes, Lauren Walsh, Jack Forcinito, Monique Parent, Ricardo Gray, and Timothy Muskatell. The story centers around Love (Walsh), a hooker who wants to leave the business because she's fallen in love with Ned (Mewes). When Love tells her pimp Sonny (Forcinito) that she's leaving the business to follow her heart, he forces her to go on one last job before she's "out."

While on the last job, Love has the misfortune of crossing paths with the wrong group - headed up by the maniacal Hate (Buzzington). Now it's up to Ned to find Love before it's too late.

I just finished screening this movie entitled Silent Night, Zombie Night from director Sean Cain. The film co-starred legendary scream queen diva Felissa Rose along with Jack Forcinito, Andy Hopper, Nadine Stenovitch, Lew Temple, Vernon Wells, Sara Tomko, Luke Y. Thompson, Ricardo Gray, John Karyus, Domiziano Arcangeli and Tim Muskatell. Silent Night Zombie Night takes place a week before Christmas, as a viral outbreak turns the citizens of Los Angeles into the feral undead. On the brink of breaking up with both his wife and partner, L.A.P.D. officer Frank Talbot finds himself trapped in a apartment with them. As death closes in, they try not only to survive, but work around the fact both men love the same woman. One thing kept popping up in my mind as I watched the film, the three leads of this film definitely have the presence, the charisma, the acting chops,...

Breath of Hate is the latest film from the production companies ArsonCuff Entertainment and Velvet Hammer Films. Their previous work involved zombies taking over Christmas in Silent Night, Zombie Night, which was reviewed (here). Their latest film involves the prostitute know as Love (Lauren Walsh) attempting to get out of the biz'. Yet, Hate (Ezra Buzzington) wants to draw her back in. An early trailer is below and this co-created production also stars Jason Mewes (Clerks), Jack Forcinito, Timothy Muskatell (Someone's Knocking at the Door), Felissa Rose, and Alexi Zibolis (Plaguers). There is no word yet on the film's release, but lots more info' on this westcoast shot film is below.

The synopsis for Breath of Hate here:

"One last job and Love is out of the erotic escort business. Unfortunately, that final job is with a trio of escaped mental patients, who are looking to change the world one...

In Vegas and looking to get away from the bright lights, noise, and elderly folk slamming down the handle on all of those one-armed bandits? Then have we got a treat for you!

Chad Ferrin's latest sliver of psychotic goodness, Someone's Knocking at the Door, will be screening in Sin City at the Sci-Fi Center on July 24th at 8:00pm. Not in Vegas? No worries! You can dig on the flick On Demand right now!

Someone's Knocking at the Door stars Noah Segan, Andrea Rueda, Ezra Buzzington, Jon Budinoff, Lew Temple, Vernon Wells, Silvia Spross, Elina Madison, Joe Pilato, Timothy Muskatell, and Ricardo Gray.

Synopsis

In this genre-defying grindhouse throwback, a group of drug-addled, sexually deviant medical students are systematically terrorized by Wilma and John Hopper. The Hoppers, serial murderers and rapists, mysteriously return from the 1970s and bring horrifying psychedelia with them. With comedy, subversion, satire, and true gore,...

Director: Chad Ferrin.

Writers: Chad Ferrin and Roham Ghodsi.

Chad Ferrin and Crappy World Films produced Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! for release this year and their latest film is Someone's Knocking at the Door. This feature will release on DVD and Blu-Ray May 25th via Vicious Circle Films and the film stars a number of recognizable independent actors. A giant step up from Easter Bunny, Ferrin gets the right amount of excitement in the film, while creating a unique, horrifying movie watching experience through the use of sexual deviancy and shocking imagery.

The plot is a lot more complex than Easter Bunny; from a reductionist viewpoint the film involves perception and secondarily illicit drug use, hallucinations, and near death experiences. A group of young medical students set out to investigate a pair of deceased serial killers in the hospital's basement only to succumb to an ancient vial of experimental drugs.

Director/writer: Chad Ferrin.

Crappy World Productions have produced indie thrillers like Someone is Knocking on the Door, The Ghouls, Unspeakable and now Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!. Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! was completed in 2008 and did not find a distributor right away, but recently the film was released by Vicious Circle Films on DVD June 1st (Amazon). This is director Chad Ferrin's fifth feature and some strangeness appears early on in the show in the form of plastic wrap. Easter Bunny stays primarily within one set and while the film has been lambasted by other reviewers (Horroryearbook) the film has some charm while falling off in the third act.

Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!, put succinctly, involves a fractured family with mom performing double-duty as a night nurse and caregiver to a mentally retarded child who also suffers from cerebral palsy (Mrcp). Enter Timothy Muskatell as Remington who plays a low-life degenerate.

One of our favorite indie directors, Chad Ferrin (The Ghouls; Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!), has a new movie poised to hit DVD on May 25th via Breaking Glass Pictures, and we couldn't be happier! Why, you ask? Because Ferrin is a friggin' madman and doesn't think twice about pushing any and every boundary he can!

Someone's Knocking at the Door stars Noah Segan, Andrea Rueda, Ezra Buzzington, Jon Budinoff, Lew Temple, Vernon Wells, Silvia Spross, Elina Madison, and Ricardo Gray.

Synopsis

In this genre-defying grindhouse throwback, a group of drug-addled, sexually deviant medical students are systematically terrorized by Wilma and John Hopper. The Hoppers, serial murderers and rapists, mysteriously return from the 1970s and bring horrifying psychedelia with them. With comedy, subversion, satire, and true gore, the students must face escalating attacks, shocking circumstances, and visceral disgust.

It's hard to believe Dread Central readers that it's been about 3 1/2 months since I posted my last video production blog for the upcoming twisted horror flick Breath of Hate, but here we are in January 2010, and I thought what better way to move forward into a new year than by giving you an exclusive look at some more behind-the-scenes shenanigans from the set.

Director Sean Cain is currently in post-production on Breath of Hate and is working diligently right now on editing together the film, which he hopes to find distribution for later this year.

For now, soak in the mayhem that is day nine on set, including an interview with Breath of Hate's resident psychopaths Hate (Ezra Buzzington), Selma (Monique Parent) and Cleb (Ricardo Gray).

Written and Produced by Wes Laurie, Breath of Hate also stars Jason Mewes, Lauren Walsh, Jack Forcinito, Felissa Rose, and Timothy Muskatell. The...

The Horror Chick Heather Wixson took a brief vacation so there was a delay in all of her Breath of Hate goodies. But fear not; she's back, and we've got Day Eight right here for you!

On the eighth day of shooting, the set was filled to the brim with lots of new and familiar faces, including Sleepaway Camp actress Felissa Rose, who was about two weeks away from her due date while working on set. She was such a trooper, she even allowed herself to get tied up for a scene in the back of The Horror Chick's car. We also got to meet a few more of the "bad kids" including Selma (Monique Parent) and Cleb (Ricardo Gray), and director Sean Cain took his turn at doing some of the behind-the-scenes footage himself. Prepare to see Heather run from the camera!

Director/producer Sean Cain (pictured left) sent over a few new exclusive photos (see them below) from his shocker feature Breath Of Hate, with the news that the movie’s official website has gone live. “We are deep into postproduction” on the film, Cain tells us.

The site, which you can check out here, includes scene stills and behind-the-scenes pics, video blogs, cast/crew info and more. Breath Of Hate, scripted by Wes Laurie (also a producer on the project), stars Lauren Walsh as Love, an escort who goes on one last job before leaving the business and becomes the captive of three escaped mental patients. The cast also includes The Hills Have Eyes’ Ezra Buzzington, The Tripper’s Jason Mewes, The Ghouls’ Timothy Muskatell, Jack Forcinito, Monique Parent, Ricardo Gray and Return To Sleepaway Camp’s Felissa Rose; you can track back through our previous coverage of the movie starting here.

Dread Central got exclusive word from director Sean Cain that they have unveiled the website for the upcoming horror flick Breath of Hate today.

Hey, Dread fiends, hope you all had a relaxing Labor Day! Now that you've had some time to reboot, The Horror Chick Heather Wixson has your next Breath of Hate on-set Video Production Blog.

Day Seven marked the last day on set for actor Jason Mewes. Mewes and Breath of Hate director Sean Cain gave Heather a very special introduction for the day. We also got to know two more of the lovely actresses in the flick and had an interesting round of "word association" with writer/producer Wes Laurie.

Welcome back, Dread-ites, to The Horror Chick Heather Wixson's video production blog for Breath of Hate - Day Five. Who knows what mayhem lies ahead!

The cast and crew are headed up to a Malibu mansion to finish out the rest of the shoot. This first day in Malibu was mostly scenes with Jason Mewes so it gave Heather a chance to roam around the mansion and give everyone a taste of the good life (because I know you won't ever see me living in mansion, not in this lifetime anyway!) We also check in with director Sean Cain and see just how much he appreciates his hard-working crew.

Day four was known to all on set as "Strip Club Day." The cast and crew headed over to The Classy Lady for this particular day which meant there would be some half-naked girls on set. And while we can't show ya nudity (hey, we have standards we have to live by too sometimes!), we do have some good stuff in here including interviews with Ted Prior and some one-on-one time with Jason Mewes.

Hey, Dread Central fiends! Welcome to Heather "The Horror Chick" Wixson's production video blog for Day Three of Sean Cain's Breath of Hate.

On this third day of filming Jason Mewes was on set to shoot some of his first scenes with the rest of the cast at Sonny's house. The crew had to contend with an excessive amount of noise interruptions (where I joked that they should just rename the flick Planes, Trains, and Automobiles 2: Electric Bugaloo) but pushed through like the champs they are. It was also 1st A.D. Ted Prior's birthday so everyone got together to give him some Breath of Hate birthday love!

Hello, readers, and welcome to the production video blog for Day Two of Sean Cain's Breath of Hate. On this day genre favorite Ezra Buzzington arrived for his scenes as "Hate." Let's just say that Ezra is not camera-shy, and he's got some wicked cool dance moves to boot!

We got a taste of our first kills on set (but we won't be showing you that because then we'd ruin the movie for you!), and the cast/crew of Breath of Hate got a surprise visit, too.

Fango heard from Noah Segan, the busy genre actor who will soon be seen in Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel’s Deadgirl, Ti West’s Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever and Deon Taylor’s Chain Letter, updating us about Someone’S Knocking At The Door, which he stars in and produced. We also got some new exclusive pics and a festival poster for the Chad Ferrin-directed feature, which we first told you about here; you can see ’em below.

“We are presently about to premiere Someone’S Knocking in competition at Amsterdam’s Imagine festival, where two of Chad’s other films have premiered,” Segan (first photo) tells us. “It is a fantastic relationship to maintain, and Deadgirl will play there as well. We are very shortly going to announce an amazing domestic fest premiere for Someone’S Knocking, at a very well-regarded and hip program here on the West Coast.

It’s early December 2008 and in the a.m. when Fango arrives on the set of writer/director/producer Sean Cain’s Silent Night, Zombie Night. And while there isn’t, at first, much to distinguish this seldom-traveled area of North Hollywood, CA from similar areas of the San Fernando Valley, a certain house on the corner—and its copiously blood-splattered facade—let this scribe know he’s in the right place.

A Velvet Hammer Films production, Silent Night, Zombie Night is shooting day six of a scheduled 12 days, and Fango’s on hand not only to document the carnage being unleashed on the mixed-use...
