Technically a sequel to 2022’s Remember Me, from this film’s co-writer Christopher Jolley, Remember Me 2: Forget Me Not sees a man, Joe, awake from a nightmare to discover he is in hospital, paralysed and has lost his memory. A Doctor explains he was in an accident and that his body is shutting down, so much so that without a kidney transplant he will die.

Only this doesn’t feel like a hospital, the staff all act strange, seemingly reading from a script and getting perplexed when they don’t have the answers to the questions Joe asks. One of the nurses looks like she’s trying to kill him, whilst a second – played by Louisa Warren, herself the director of numerous...

After sitting through the less-than-satisfying Viking Wolf I wanted a lycanthropic film with a bit more bite to it. As it happened, I had the screener for the new film from writer/director Mark Cantu, Wolf Hollow waiting to be watched. Five minutes into it I’d already seen more gore than in the entire running time of A Norwegian Werewolf in High School as a drunken bonfire is invaded by a pack of werewolves.

A year later two things are happening. Evie and Bart Neuri are meeting with Mayor Schuzmarke about the absorption of Wolf Hollow by the adjacent town. An act caused in part by certain incidents on the Neuri’s property a year ago.

And in the hamlet of Wolf Hollow itself,...

Sam Raimi was attached to direct a sci-fi thriller set in the Bermuda Triangle for quite a while – then when he went off to replace Scott Derrickson as the director of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Derrickson stepped in to take the helm of Bermuda. That was almost three years ago and we’re still waiting to hear further information on that Bermuda Triangle project. In the meantime, Mahal Empire is set to release a creature feature called Bermuda Island on January 20th, and you can watch the trailer for the film in the embed above!

Producers Michael Mahal and Sonny Mahal crafted the story for Bermuda Island, which was directed by Adam Werth (Rancher’s Kin) from a screenplay by Crossbreed writer Robert Thompson. The film has the following synopsis: Passengers on their way to a tropical paradise crash at sea and find themselves on a deserted island.

Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan), Elissa Dowling (Girl on the Third Floor), Rachel Riley (Giantess Attack vs. Mecha Fembot), William McNamara (Copycat), Janet Wang (Arena Wars), Robert Lasardo (The Mule), Vernon Wells (Commando), Vincent M. Ward (The Walking Dead), Hans Hernke (Night of the Tommyknockers), and Mike Ferguson (Amityville Uprising) star in the upcoming horror film Amber Road, which is said to deliver so much gore that it’s being referred to as “splatter-core”. Coming to us from Koa Aloha Media, the film is currently streaming exclusively on AlohaStream and will be reaching DVD and Blu-ray on January 10th. (Pre-order a copy Here). A VOD release will follow on January 30th.

Made on a budget estimated to be around 60,000, Amber Road has “drawn comparisons to Saw, Terrifier, and Hostel for its up-close and personal horror.” It promises to deliver a complex story while also showing off plenty of close-up gore.

Based on the artwork that accompanied the original crowdfunding campaign for this film, I was expecting something of an Italian horror inspired British-lensed horror… After all the title referenced one of the most famous Italian horrors of the 80s and the artwork gave me House by the Cemetery vibes – it also looked a Lot like the old VHS artwork for Sorority House Massacre… All of which got me very excited to see what Demons at Dawn had in store.

I shouldn’t have got so excited.

Demons at Dawn opens with what turns out to be a wraparound segment that is totally unrelated to the main portion of the film. That “prologue” sees...

Pretty Boy: "Pretty Boy, the follow up to the award-winning film Blind, has completed principal photography. Pretty Boy, directed by Marcel Walz and written by Joe Knetter, continues the story they set in motion in Blind.

Pretty Boy just finished the Post Production with Company 3

Marcel Walz (Director)

“Filming Pretty Boy the way we did was a dream comes true for me. It is beautiful, fun, gory and creepy. Seeing our Killer, “Pretty Boy”, slashing through this love letter to the 80s is what I have always wanted to do! Also, as an LGBTQ Director, I could go crazy on set design for the Valentine’s party and overall theme in the movie, so be prepared for a lot of pinks, glitter and some intestines Lol!“

Joe Knetter (Writer)

“Filming Pretty Boy was an amazing experience. Every single person on the cast and crew brought their ‘A’ game. Getting...

FlickLaunch, the first movie distribution platform built on Facebook for independent filmmakers, will premiere the horror thriller The Perfect House on October 1, 2011 as a 7-day rental on the film's Facebook fan page.
