*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by director John Lechago.

Director/writer: John Lechago.

Producers: Vincent Bilancio and Tai Chan Ngo.

This reviewer knows John Lechago mostly from his excellent directing work on Killjoy 3. This was a film with a lot of imagination, putting characters in a hellish, but fun world. This film starred Victoria De Mare and Al Burke. Both of these actors also star in Lechago's latest called Bio-Slime. Previously called Contagion, Bio-Slime has been referred to as a blob movie: "a decent blob movie" (Monster). This reviewer would simply call it a B-movie, or a film likely to see a DVD release and made for under a million. Bio-Slime's budget was much lower than this with much of the finances dedicated to special effects artist Tom Devlin's creations. The appearance of porn stars Gia Paloma and Roxi Devill are merely a...

Here's a brand new trailer for John Lechago's "Bioslime", starring Vinnie Bilancio, Victoria De Mare, Ronnie Lewis, Kelli Kaye, Gia Paloma, Magic J. Ellingson, Micol Bartolucci, Al Burke "Bioslime" revolves around a group of seven people that become trapped in an art studio together after a mysterious glob of slime is accidently unleashed. They fight for survival as they try and formulate a plan to escape the room and out the building before the evil ooze can get them. ...

Writer/director John Lechago gave Fango the first look at the latest trailer for his indie creature feature Bioslime, as well as a couple of new exclusive photos; you can feast your eyes on them below the cut. The movie, on which Lechago also served as cinematographer, editor, visual FX supervisor and set designer, is currently in postproduction.

“I am finishing up the visual effects, but there is still a great deal of work to be done,” Lechago tells us. “I’m getting some help from a colleague of mine who’s an excellent effects artist, and I still have a little more insert shooting for background plates. Other than that, the music score is done and the sound editing is well underway. The polish is a meticulous and labor-intesive process, especially for a low-budget production. I want this thing to look as good as it possibly can!”

Indie frightmeister Jeff (Werewolf In A Women’S Prison) Leroy gave Fango the scoop and some pics (see more below) from his latest furry fear flick, Rat Scratch Fever. “Hide the cheese,” says Leroy, who served as writer, director, cinematographer and editor.

“The film is a homage to 1976’s Food Of The Gods,” Leroy tells Fango. “I picked up *Famous Monsters* magazine every month, and they had a cover story about Bert I. Gordon’s film with all kinds of really cool stills of giant rats attacking people, with oversized rat heads by makeup mastero Thomas Burman. Food Of The Gods didn’t live up to that hype, but it still had a lot of energy and animal attacks. My film has the same energy and better effects. No rats were hurt, but plenty of humans get gnawed to pieces.”
