Horror icons always seem to be slashers…sure, we work a supernatural in there from time to time like a vamp or something like that. But the indie film Jonah Lives hopes the next icon comes in the rotting, undead variety…namely, their zombie, Jonah.

Written and directed by Luis Carvalho, Jonah Lives stars Brinke Stevens, Cesar Perreira, Jocelyn Padilla, James Barrett, Ryan Boudreau, Nicole Lasala, Rob Roy and Aaron Peaslee. It's a little bit zombie romp and a little bit Pumpkinhead-ish summoned beast revenge flick. Although no official announcement has yet been made, rumor has it that the folks behind the Rock and Shock horror convention were so impressed with what they've seen from Jonah Lives that they've already invited them to screen the film at their October festival in Massachusetts.

Scorpio Film Releasing, creators of The Disco Exorcist and Nun of That, have provided us with the official trailer for their latest feature film, Murder University. It delivers suspense, thrills, and a bloody good time in the spirit of a 1980's slasher.

Synopsis:

A series of brutal, cult-like murders are taking place at a New England college. Josh Greene (Jamie Dufault), a shy freshman, is the lone survivor of a series of murders that are reminiscent of a similar string of killings some twenty years prior. As he seeks to uncover the secret behind the attacks, he is joined by Detective Forrester (Michael Thurber), who was instrumental in halting the bloodshed before, and his daughter, Meg (Sammi Acampora), who had barely escaped being a victim previously.

The film is directed by Richard Griffin (Nun of That), written by Lenny Schwartz, and produced by Ted Marr (Atomic Brain Invasion) and Kristin Kayala...
