Kurt Knight's period horror film The Appearance, will have its World Premiere at Cinepocalypse on Wednesday, June 27th in Chicago.

In the film film that has a definite Game of Thrones vibe (particularly as it stars Kristian Nairn (aka Hodor), “Mateho (Jake Stormoen), an officer of the Inquisition and rational man of science, visits a remote monastery to investigate a bizarre murder of a monk. And you guessed it: something evil is afoot. But is the terror man-made or the result of witchcraft?”

The eerie, medieval thriller is reminiscent also of Christopher Smith's Black Death which is always a good thing in my books.

Zombie apocalypse movies are ten-a-penny these days, so it takes something special to stand out from the crowd. Luckily Zombie Hunter is one such movie. Set in a post-apocalyptic Zombie wasteland caused by the mysterious street drug “Natas”, the film follows one man (the titular hunter) who runs down Flesh Eaters, hunting for sport and redemption, while also running from his past. After crashing into a small group of survivors, who are running low on resources, he decides to lend a hand. But a surprise attack by the Flesh Eaters forces them on the run and puts the Hunter’s skills to the test…

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have a lot to answer for. Ever since their drive-in inspired collaboration Grindhouse,...

Writers: K. King, Kurt Knight

Director: K. King

Synopsis:

When a street drug turns junkies into an army of giant, mutant flesh-eaters, no hope is left – but one man remains. Hunter’s got nothing left but a beat-up Camaro, a trunk full of guns and booze, and a vendetta. He crashes into a small group of survivors, led by an ax-wielding priest named Jesus.

You don’t even wanna know …

Review:

Take a look at this cover.

Stare at Danny Trejo. If you do this for five minutes, you’ll have just looked at Danny longer than his accumulated amount of screen time in Zombie Hunter. This movie...

*full disclosure: a Blu-ray copy of this film was provided by Well Go USA. Director: K. King. Writers: K. King and Kurt Knight. Cast: Martin Copping, Danny Trejo and Clare Niederpruem. There are just so many zombie films out there. So, new films entering the genre really need to stand out to get attention. K. King's first film as director does not really come across as showy. Instead, Zombie Hunter is a low budget affair that offers a laugh here or there, but the film's campiness removes any real tension. The film comes across as very awkward and artificial. Zombie Hunter might find a small audience; but, this film watcher felt it was more of a disappointment. The film begins with the character known as Hunter (Martin Copping). Hunter is alone in a zombie apocalypse and he has outfitted himself a la Mad Max. His V8 Interceptor is more Trans Am,...
