Tucker and Dale vs Evil star Tyler Labine may have traded in the Hillbilly dungarees for a polo shirt and cargo shorts, but the film’s spirit is alive and well in Cottage Country, a witty woodland comedy horror with more than its own share of laughs. Look, stop reading this and go watch it already. Its twisty, constantly churning story is best viewed unspoiled.

Still reading? Well, if you insist. Taking off to the family holiday home for a week away from work, mild-mannered desk jockey Todd (Labine) and fiancee-to-be Cammie (Malin Akerman) don’t count upon the surprise appearance of his obnoxious brother Salinger (Dan Petronijevic) and horrible girlfriend Masha (Lucy Punch). With tensions quick to rise,...

Gordon Fleming's asbestos removal crew were infected by it in 2001's Session 9, Lance Preston and his ghost investigation team faced it in 2011's Grave Encounters, and soon a group of teenagers will also become immersed in the creepy, haunting, and ultimately mind-bending atmosphere of an abandoned asylum in Marcus Nispel's Exeter (formerly known as Backmask). Featured in our latest round-up, the next film from the director of the Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes has been acquired for U.S. distribution and given a release date. Also included in this go-around is the poster for The Diabolical, a new horror film starring Ali Larter, as well as a look at Super7 and Secret Base's Green Slime Alien soft vinyl figure, going on sale this Friday.

I was doing what many customers of Netflix do, browsing the catalogue of films on offer with a far-away look in my eye, unable to choose what to watch as the evening got later and later. As a fan of Tyler Labine from his work in Tucker and Dale versus Evil, I decided to give this movie a shot.

Also starring Malin Akerman (27 Dresses, Rock of Ages), Cottage Country is a comedy movie with elements of thriller, horror and romance, and is directed by Peter Wellington, who, from what I can tell, has only really been responsible for a few television movies, and random episodes of television shows I know little to nothing about.

Phase 4 Films will also release Peter Wellington's comedy horror feature Cottage Country. This title stars Tucker & Dale vs. Evil cast member Tyler Labine as Todd. Todd finds himself in the middle of murder, while on vacation. Cottage Country also stars Malin Akerman (Watchmen), Lucy Punch and Dan Petronijevic. As well, this film, which blends horror and comedy, will release on April Fool's Day, this year. The official trailer for the film shows Todd dealing with a intrusive brother (Petronijevic). Sibling rivalry ends in bloodshed as Todd takes hostile feelings and events a little too far. Another murder is required and this dark comedy is sure to entertain most film fans. More details on the release are below. Release Date: April 1st, 2014 (DVD, Us). Director: Peter Wellington. Writer: Jeremy Boxen. Cast: Malin Akerman, Tyler Labine, Lucy Punch and Dan Petronijevic.

Distributors throughout the Mena region face a spectacular range of challenges, including a lack of screens, curfews and soaring piracy. Melanie Goodfellow profiles the major players.

The recent period of rapid political and economic change across Mena has resulted in wildly different theatrical fortunes from territory to territory.

Saudi Arabia continues to ban movie theatres but neighbouring UAE and Qatar are witnessing a huge increase in screen numbers and multiplexes and a resulting growth in box office, which is spilling over into Jordan and Iraq.

A 16-screen multiplex, a partnership between Ibrahim Taher’s Al Taher for Cinemas, Eagle Films and Selim Ramia & Co, opened in Amman over the summer. Lebanese exhibitor and distributor Empire is planning a 14-screen venue for the Kurdish Iraqi city of Erbil.

There’s a magical place in Canada, a 306 square mile piece of Canadian Shield dotted with huge, deep lakes set in a beautiful wilderness. It’s a playground for the rich – including Tom Hanks, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn and Martin Short plus politicians, athletes and old money Americans and Canadians. The axe murder horror farce Cottage Country turns its aspirational relaxation vibe on its head as brothers battle it out for cottage visitation rights. Todd (Tyler Labine) plans to propose to Cammie his fiancée (Malin Ackerman) but his brother and his drug addled girlfriend show up unexpectedly.

As of Thursday morning, August 8th 2013, the most recent edition of the Fantasia Film Festival will be a thing of the past. What began with some major, exciting announcements in late June, a press conference on July 9th and tons of public screenings from July 18th to August 7th is in the history books. With so many films shown (around 120), festival veterans and newcomers alike had a stunning choice of movies to discover, be amazed by, be provoked by or just have a great time with.

Naturally, some films will leave an indelible mark on those privileged to see them, whereas others might have left the bitter taste of disappointment in mouths. Having seen just over 30 movies myself, there are definitely a handful which proved to be exceptional examples of filmmaking and may very well offer serious challenge to other movies hoping to make an end of the year list come late December.

Cottage Country

Written by Jeremy Boxen

Directed by Peter Wellington

Canada, 2013

Are people experiencing any fatigue with the decades old ‘cabin in the woods’ horror routine wherein a small party of reasonably innocent individuals opt to spend some much desired vacation in a solitary cabin in the wilderness, only to be chased, mauled, haunted or possessed by the nebulous forces of evil? Evidently not given that so many such movies are still produced on a consistent basis, yet every now and then a creative team cracks the code to making one that feels genuinely different. 2012′s Cabin in the Woods is one such film, and so is the Canadian made Cottage Country, from director Peter Wellington and screenwriter Jeremy Boxen.

Todd and Cammie (Tyler Labine and Malin Akerman respectively) are a couple very much in love who, through the personal reservation website created by Todd himself, have made plans to...

Horror Is Child’S Play – Don Mancini’S Curse Of Chucky (World Premiere)

A rarity among genre franchises, the Child’S Play series (begun in 1988) has retained the sure-handed guidance of original screenwriter/creator Don Mancini throughout killer doll Chucky’s decades’-long reign of horror. Mancini, who will be hosting our “scar-studded” world premiere, graduated to the director’s chair with 2004’s Seed Of Chucky, after having co-written or written every entry in the series. His longevity with the project is, of course, matched by the fiendish voiceover work by...

Cottage Country is a film that made its debut at the 2012 American Film Market. This film fan missed the trailer premiere and perhaps, others might have missed it as well. This comedy focuses on a couple looking for a relaxing time out in the wilderness. Unfortunately, Todd's (Tyler Labine) brother, Salinger (Daniel Petronijevic) comes for a visit. Todd's sibling rivalry rises and a murder takes place, and then another murder and then...the bloody keeps flowing! Fans who missed the trailer premiere for Cottage Country can take a look below. There are no distribution plans for this title, to date. Though, this film has completed production. More details will be posted as they become available. Director: Peter Wellington. Porducer: Frank Siracusa. Cast: Malin Akerman, Tyler Labine, Lucy Punch, and Daniel Petronijevic.

With veterans of such minor modern genre classics as "Hobo With a Shotgun" (producers Paul Gross and Frank Siracusa) and "Tucker and Dale vs Evil" (Tyler Labine) on the roster, it's difficult to see how director Peter Wellington's dark comedy "Cottage Country" could go wrong. In the film's trailer, below, Todd Chipowski (Labine) sees a romantic weekend idyll at his family's lake house turn sour due to his interloping brother (Dan Petronijevic), who he ends up catching in the neck with an axe. Chaos ensues as the hapless Todd conspires with his fiancée (Malin Akerman) to dispose of the evidence and do away with his brother's lady friend (Lucy Punch) before she gets wise. Clumsy and inept in the mechanics of both love and murder, the bloodied pair's deeds become increasingly grisly and frantic. The film, slated originally for 2012 release, is currently seeking a distributor at the American Film Market.

Malin Akerman is ready to go Atomic.

The "Watchmen" beauty is set to show off her singing voice once again as she signs on to play Blondie frontwoman Deborah Harry in "Cgbg," according to Variety.

Blondie was founded in 1974 by Harry and guitarist Chris Stein and is considered a pioneer in the American New Wave and punk scenes that started explode in the mid-'70s. However, Blondie went on to become Top 40 hitmakers after the release of their album "Parallel Lines" (1978), which featured such hit singles as "Heart of Glass," "Hanging on the Telephone," "Sunday Girl" and "One Way or Another."

Blondie were regulars at such New York venues as Max's Kansas City and, of course, Cbgb. "Cbgb" chronicles the rise of this now-defunct hotspot, which was founded by club owner Hilly Kristal (to be played by Alan Rickman in the film). Akerman joins a cast that includes Rupert Grint...

The stunning Swede returned to her Canadian roots - she was raised in Toronto - for the upcoming dark comedy Cottage Country, filmed in the typically picturesque Muskokas that was covered in a dull grey smudge the day Cineplex visited the busy set.

Undeterred by the near-constant rain and freezing temperatures Malin Akerman was all smiles playing the part of demanding Cammie, girlfriend to Todd (fellow Canuck Tyler Labine) who engages in some axe-slinging when plans for the perfect proposal go awry. See? Dark comedy.

While huddled in an upstairs bedroom of the Muskoka cottage where part of the movie was being filmed, Akerman dished about the upcoming Adam Shankman directed musical Rock of Ages where she stars alongside a rock n' roll Tom Cruise who, she assured us, can really sing and who she described as a "such a goof."

'Bad Teacher' scene-stealer Lucy Punch is shivering in the cold cottage country air as Daniel Petronijevic ('Happy Town') takes aim at her with a bow and arrow. Tyler Labine ('Rise of the Planet of the Apes') jumps in to stop the madness, while Malin Akerman ('Watchmen') takes everything in from a safe distance. The four funny people are filming a scene for 'Cottage Country,' a new dark comedy about an eager-to-please yes-man (Labine) trying to create the perfect getaway for himself and his super-hot girlfriend (Akerman).

Whizbang Films has kicked off production on Cottage Country, which co-stars the lovely Malin Akerman, who drove fan boys wild as the second Silk Specter in Watchmen, and Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil‘s hefty and hilarious hillbilly Tyler Labine. As you can probably predict from the pairing of hot chick and schlubby dude, Cottage Country is a romance-centered comedy in which Labine and Akerman are a couple. More specifically, Labine plays Todd, a besotted young man whose looking to craft the perfect marriage proposal by taking his stunning girlfriend Cammie (Akerman) to his family’s quaint cottage. However, his plans are all for naught once his shiftless brother Salinger (Daniel Petronijevic) crashes their romantic weekend along with his dippy gal-pal Masha (the underrated Lucy Punch). Then, things turn dark when Todd’s mounting rage boils over into accidental fratricide, but Cammie sees no reason this needs to get in...
