Earlier this month, we heard that one of the movies that will be showing at the 28th edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival (which is set to run from from July 18th through August 4th in Montreal) is the werewolf chiller The Beast Within, starring Kit Harington (Jon Snow from HBO’s Game of Thrones). But if you’re not going to be able to attend Fantasia this year, you’re still going to have the chance to see The Beast Within on the big screen this summer… if you’re in the United States, anyway. Well Go USA Entertainment is giving the film a theatrical release nationwide on July 26th, and you can check out the trailer in the embed above.

*here be some spoilers. Director: Dominic Burns. Writer: Paul Chronnell. Cast: Mark Hamill, Craig Conway, Billy Murray, Sebastian Street, Simon Phillips, Julian Glover, Alan Ford, Gemma Atkinson, Rita Ramnani, and Andrew Shim. Chelsea Films is releasing Airborne across the United Kingdom on DVD July 30th. This is a film that puts a dozen passengers on a doomed flight across the Atlantic. One of their passengers is an ancient Chinese spirit that likes to possess the living. The other flight crew and trapped passengers are understandably shook up when the ghost of Chang starts offing characters via gory suicides. The action is almost laughable as the plot of a cursed vase threatens to ground this aircraft for good. And, something strange begins to happen as you watch this film. If you are a United Kingdom film fan, then you might notice that director Dominic Burns has recruited a few familiar faces.

The film follows Atlantic Sky Airways Flight 686, the last flight out of East Midlands Airport thanks to a severe storm. Shortly after take-off, several passengers become concerned when one of their number inexplicably goes missing. Their anxieties are further increased when it becomes apparent that the flight has veered off course and it is revealed that the plane is carrying an interesting item of cargo: a rare and extremely valuable ancient Chinese vase. The assumption is that terrorists are responsible,...

Stag Night Of The Dead

Stars: Sebastian Street, Rez Kempton, Jeff Rudom, Sophie Lovell Anderson | Written and Directed by Neil ‘Napoleon’ Jones

Dean is all set to get married in the morning and nothing’s going to stop the crazy full-on stag party organised by his mates. Not even the recent zombie apocalypse. Six guys, plenty of booze, a stripper, and Zomball – which is like paintball, only players get to shoot lasers instead of paint and zombies instead of each other. You see, with all the zombies around it turns to provate contractors to get rid of them and what better way than letting joe public blast the life (pardon the pun) out of them for shits and giggles. But what begins as a fun stag do soon turns into a fight for their lives as the zombies just won’t stay dead and the wedding party (and the stripper...

In the UK? Then you could win a copy of the first zombie film of 2012: Stag Night of the Dead! Read on for the details.

Stag Night of the Dead is a hilarious zom-com set after an outbreak of the undead. It sees soon-to-be-married Dean and his boozed-up buddies go on the ultimate stag night experience – a game of ‘Zomball’, like paintball except you get to shoot captured zombies. Of course things go wrong for the lads, and it soon turns into a game of life and death. Get in!

Starring Sebastian Street and directed by Napoleon Jones, the film growls its way into HMV, Amazon, and iTunes on 9th January courtesy of Left Films with a ton of cool extras on the DVD, including "How to Make a Zombie" and an extended "Behind the Screams" feature.

Director/writer: Neil Jones.

Cast: Sebastian Street, Sophie Lovell Anderson and Joe Rainbow.

There are three rules of Zomball in Stag Night of the Dead: 1) stay together, 2) look out for the recharge station and 3) never humiliate a zombie. The characters in Stag Night of the Dead break all of these rules and unsurprisingly, many of the characters do not make it to the end credits. Stag Night of the Dead will release on DVD and iTunes January 9th and this film is a satisfying romp through a zombie apocalypse. The grainy film stock and a few poor character choices are the only elements that hamper a comedic movie watching time.

The film begins with six men on stag. Dean (Sebastian Street) is the groom and he has only one more night of freedom before marrying his very bitchy sweetheart.

The British Horror Film Festival has come to a close for its second year and what a festival it was! Plenty of famous faces turned up for the premieres, including:

Tamer Hassan (The Football Factory)

Gary Kemp (The Bodyguard)

Martin Kemp (The Krays)

Brooke Kinsella (Eastenders)

Stuart Brennan (Risen)

Shane Richie (Eastenders)

Kierston Wareing (Rise of the Footsoldier)

Barbara Nedeljakova (Hostel)

Sebastian Street (Age of Heroes)

Billy Murray (The Bill)

Ah, the stag night: that ritualistic farewell to unmarried life via an evening of unfettered revelry and shit-faced debauchery. While the morning after brings a distinctly zombie-like appearance to all involved, the cast of Neil Jones’ Stag Night of the Dead have a few more of the flesh-eating type to contend with when their choice of celebratory activity goes very, very wrong. Dig on the trailer, some stills, and UK release details right here!

From the Press Release:

Zombie mayhem will be ringing in the New Year as the British zombie comedy Stag Night Of The Dead is to get its UK release on 9th January on DVD and iTunes.

Set in the wake of a zombie outbreak, when private companies are cashing-in on ways to dispose of the undead, Neil ‘Napoleon’ Jones’ film is about a stag party out for a game of Zomball – like paintball except that you get to shoot zombies.

The United Kingdom based distributors Left Films, led by Helen Grace, have picked up the United Kingdom produced Stag Night of the Dead for distribution.
