"This just isn't who I was supposed to be... I think there's a part of me that's always going to believe that." Dark Star Pictures uploaded an official trailer for Riley, an indie drama from filmmaker Benjamin Howard. This originally premiered at numerous film festivals last year including at the Calgary Film Festival, BFI Flare in London, and at Frameline. Dakota is a star on the high school football team, hiding his sexuality, battling between the girlfriend he has and where his desires take him. But when exposed, he is forced to confront his denial and come to terms with himself so that he stops hating himself. The life of a disciplined high school athlete begins to unravel when his true queer identity competes against the idea of who he was supposed to be. Starring Jake Holley as Dakota Riley, with Connor Storrie, Riley Quinn Scott, Colin McCalla, Rib Hillis.

"What evil did you bring here?" Whatever it is, I don't want it in my apartment! Cranked Up has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror anthology feature titled Tenants, featuring "7 Floors of Terror!" This will be debuting on VOD at the end of this month in time for horror season. After waking up in an unfamiliar apartment complex, a woman desperately searches for her sister while being hunted by a shadowy figure. As she makes her way through the building, unspeakable horrors befall the tenants she interacts with. With segments directed by Jonathan Louis Lewis, Sean Mesler, Blake Reigle, and Buz Wallick. The anthology film stars Mary O'Neil, Christa Collins, Myles Cranford, Rib Hillis, Clarke Wolfe, Kathryne Isabelle Easton, and Douglas Vermeeren. The mysterious black smoke creepo in this looks pretty cool, but the rest of the segments seem hit or miss, which is the usual with these fun anthology tales.

There have been forests full of “thrillers” in which one or more people go for a woodsy getaway only to find that they’re pursued by one or more bad guys, just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Kill Shot is another, and it’s nowhere near the top of that heap. It’s not even the best among several previous films bearing the same title.

Two ex-models, Rachel Cook (not Rachel Leigh Cook) and Rib (not a typo) Hillis star respectively as a woman who wants to hunt moose and spread her father’s ashes in the rough terrain of Montana as a tribute to him. Hillis plays her guide. She’s beautiful; he’s ruggedly handsome and his wife just dumped him for spending too much time in the boonies,...

As Kill Shot opens a young Afghan girl walks through a drug processing facility and is handed a briefcase full of cash by an old man. She then trudges through the snow in what feels like real-time until she comes to an armoured truck manned by a couple of heavily armed men in camo. They take the cash and drive off.

After it drives around for a bit the truck encounters a woman, Dina Diablo (Mara Ohara; The Hellenbacks 3), who pulls a flamethrower from under her burka. When the men inside jump out and start firing at her they’re ambushed by Maximus (UFC fighter Bobby Maximus) and his men who kill them, take the cash, and make plans to rendezvous in Canada. Among the footage we see under the credits,...

During a hunting trip in Montana, a wilderness guide and former Navy Seal (Rib Hillis) and his client (Rachel Cook) stumble upon a cache of heist money, unwittingly making themselves the one obstacle standing between a dangerous terrorist group and its lost fortune. Eager to take some of the cash for themselves, the pair learns far too late how easy it can be to make someone disappear in the vastness of Big Sky country.

Kill Shot is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on August 15.

"We're being hunted." Well Go USA has dropped the trailer for an action film titled Kill Shot, formerly known as Hunted, from filmmaker Ari Novak. The plot of this sounds a lot like the plot of Cliffhanger, with a few extra "here's an elite soldier character" and "here's a nearly naked woman" tricks up its sleeves. Posing as hunters, a group of terrorists are in search of $100 million that was stolen and lost in a plane crash en route from Afghanistan. The story follows two people on a hunting trip, a former Navy Seal and his client, who stumbled upon the cash and try to figure out how to get away with some of it without being killed. Rib Hillis who co-wrote the script, stars with Rachel Cook, Bobby Maximus, Mara Ohara, Xian Mikol, and Mark Murphy. This looks hilariously bad, oh so bad, especially when this main blonde woman...

It was bound to happen. Netflix started making and showing original movies, then Amazon, and then Tubi followed suit with Swim. But as Tubi is not a thing here in the UK (thanks Gdpr) we’ve instead had to wait almost two years for the film to hit Blighty. However, don’t get too excited. Given their budget and “free with commercials” format of its source, this isn’t The Irishman or The Tomorrow War. This shark in the house film was made by The Asylum and their frequent director Jared Cohn from a script by Anthony C. Ferrante… so don’t expect Jaws either!

The Samson family Lacey, her father Noah, and kids Charlotte (Brett Hargrave; Weedjies: Halloweed Night) and Tucker (Daniel Grogan) are renting a beach house.

Ari Novak’s action thriller Kill Shot has secured a North American deal with Well Go USA and sales representation with Bleiberg Entertainment ahead of the Cannes market.

Bleiberg will commence talks with international buyers on the Croisette next month on the story of a hunting guide and former Navy Seal and his client in the Montana mountains who encounter terrorists searching for lost loot.

Rib Hillis (Baywatch) and model Rachel Cook (The Hack Job) star alongside Xian Mikol (Time Framed), Todd Gordon (Speed), Mark Murphy (Cowboys vs Dinosaurs), and former UFC fighter Bobby Maximus.

Back in 1986, director Jim Wynorski brought us the cult classic Chopping Mall (watch it Here, check out our Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? episode on the film Here), which was about the robots that have been tasked with serving as the security guards in a shopping mall going on a killing spree. The original title for that movie was Killbots, and a while back it was announced that Wynorski was going to be directing a new movie called Killbots for Full Moon. It would have nothing to do with Chopping Mall, it was just going to be using that discarded original title. Well, the title plans changed along the way. The Wynorski / Full Moon project is now called Murderbot – and you can watch the trailer in the embed above!

Murderbot is scheduled to be released through the Full Moon Features streaming service on March 31st.

I was sold on Psycho Storm Chaser as soon as I read its synopsis. It reads: ‘An at-home care nurse must survive a category 3 hurricane as well as a storm chasing serial killer that uses storms to cover up his heinous crimes’. I was in luck too because the movie is nearly as dumb and ridiculous as that sounds.

That’s not to say I didn’t like it though. I know there are plenty of movie lovers that will read that synopsis and either decide they are not going to bother with the movie or they are watching it expecting to not enjoy it. I was hoping it would it least meet my relatively low expectations and have some fun with its own story.

When massive volcanic storms begin to spew from the Earth, geophysicist Kate Ferris tries to convince the Department of Defense that this is no natural phenomenon. They re the result of a seismic super weapon known as the Hell Storm device; and now that it’s been activated, the shock-waves it sends out will destroy major cities across the globe, killing millions. When her claims fall on deaf ears, Kate teams up with her daughter and estranged husband at the San Andreas fault line to find a way to counteract the destruction. As Kate and her family navigate the fault, they find themselves directly at the epicenter of the largest shock wave yet.

When a rogue scientist discovers an immense egg in the dark recesses of a rainforest he thinks hes stumbled across his fame and fortune. But little does he know that it belongs to a terrifying hybrid monster, known only as the Piranhaconda (a moniker only mentioned once in the Entire film and dismissed as a stupid name!). Soon the beast is on the loose, hunting for its unborn child, rampaging through the country and destroying everything in its path in a mass of CGI-enhanced gory-glory.

A killer-creature B-movie from the Roger Corman staple, Piranhaconda is yet another made for Syfy TV movie suprisingly this one comes from director Jim Wynorski, who is well-known in the horror community for successfully mixing T&A and horror.

If you thought it was only studios like The Asylum who were cranking out giant sea creature flicks for Syfy you’d be completely wrong – Roger Corman and his New Horizon Pictures are still producing the kind of cheap and cheerful monster movies that Corman made his name with to this day. Only unlike The Asylum, Corman and co. don’t seem to want to keep to just giant monsters… Instead they’ve cross-bred their monsters as time has gone on – no longer are they satisfied with plain-old Supergator, their first giant creature flick; nope they’ve brought us the crazy combos of Dinoshark, Dinocroc (who took on Supergator in 2010), Piranhaconda; and their craziest giant killer creature combination, Sharktopus.

First there was Cowboys and Aliens (2011). Then, there was Cowboys vs Zombies. Now, there is Cowboys vs Dinosaurs. There are fewer and fewer cowboys nowadays, but no end of enemies. In Cowboys vs Dinosaurs, an underground explosion releases Earth's largest predators, on a small Western town; there can be only one 10 ton winner. The film stars Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Rib Hillis, Casey Fitzgerald and Vernon Wells. To be released by Monarch Home Entertainment, a preview for the film's Q1 launch is hosted here. The first clip shows lots of CGI terror. As the local mine coughs up more and more dinosaurs, the locals must arm themselves, against these toothed creatures. Cowboys vs Dinosaurs will release soon.

From the Press Release

A Haunting in Thornby is a co-production from Raging Bull Entertainment and Khoury A. Marriot Productions.

Piranhaconda

Stars: Michael Madsen, Rachel Hunter, Shandi Finnessey, Terri Ivens, Rib Hillis, Angie Savage, Chris De Christopher, Kurt Yaeger, Noah Blake | Written by J. Brad Wilke, Mike MacLean | Directed by Jim Wynorski

When a rogue scientist discovers an immense egg in the dark recesses of a rainforest he thinks he’s stumbled across his fame and fortune. But little does he know that it belongs to a terrifying hybrid monster, known only as the Piranhaconda (a moniker only mentioned once in the Entire film and dismissed as a stupid name!). Soon the beast is on the loose, hunting for its unborn child, rampaging through the country and destroying everything in its path in a mass of CGI-enhanced gory-glory.

A killer-creature B-movie from the Roger Corman staple, Piranhaconda is yet another made for Syfy TV movie – suprisingly this one comes from director Jim Wynorski, who is well-known in the horror community...

Piranha not got enough twists and turns for you? Anaconda lacking the requisite bite? Well, why not have the best of both worlds? From Mike MacLean, the writer of Sharktopus (Jaws not tentacley enough... etc.), and with Hollywood exploitation legend Roger Corman behind it, comes Piranhaconda. Somehow the movie passed us by when it aired on Syfy in June, but all 82 glorious minutes are coming to DVD on January 7, 2013. The film is directed by Jim Wynorski (Chopping Mall, Camel Spiders) and stars Quentin Tarantino's Mr Blonde, Michael Madsen, fresh from Celebrity Big Brother. Joining Madsen is Rachel Hunter (The Benchwarmers) and MacLean's Sharktopus veteran Shandi Finnessey. Rounding out the cast is Rib Hillis, who you might have seen on Two and a Half Men and CSI Miami. The plot (more)...

Part snake! Part fish! All killer! And, apparently, a killer with a taste for topless women with shapely posteriors!The first poster art has appeared for Jim Wynorski's Piranhaconda, the Roger Corman produced creature feature with Michael Madsen, Rachel Hunter, Rib Hillis, Teri Ivens and - apparently - an acting role for Corman himself. Can we expect a trailer to follow soon? It is to dream ......

That was a pretty cheap joke, and for that I apologize. The marketing gurus working behind-the-scenes of director Jim Wynorski’s upcoming creature “Piranhaconda” know exactly who their audience is, and they’re not above catering directly to their low-brow tastes. It’s always nice when the people who made the movie are kind of in on the joke. After all, nobody in their right mind is taking something called “Piranhaconda” seriously, so why not have some fun with it? The film, which stars Michael Madsen, Rachel Hunter, Rib Hillis, and Teri Ivens, is set to debut on SyFy this June. The poster in all its, um, glory resides below. If I had a bigger image to offer, I’d certainly slide it your way. Unfortunately, for the moment, this is all I’ve got. Sorry...

Sorority girls are always getting themselves in trouble, in film at least. Their latest misadventures include a weekend trip to get away from it all and they run right into the hands of a "brilliant serial killer." They will have to put away the beer and bikinis and pick up a tire iron as The Sorority Party Massacre completes production later this year.

For now, the film's first poster is here. The concept poster gently blends boobs, bums and austere whites to titillate and excite. Stay tuned for the first trailer for Sorority Party Massacre, which is sure to give horror fans what they want, t & a!

Completion Date: 2012.

Director: Chris W. Freeman.

Cast: Leslie Easterbrook, Ed O'Ross, Louis Mandylor, Kevin Sorbo, Ron Jeremy, Richard Moll, Ed O'Ross, Eve Mauro, Yvette Yates, April Marie Eden, Rebecca Grant and Rib Hillis.

Two scientifically altered creatures eat up all the locals and vacationers on a small island before duking it out battle royale style for supremacy. 

Let's talk about the intent behind a film like Dinocroc vs. Supergator. First off, it is not something to be token seriously or straight forward. It's the kind of entertainment that is supposed to recall all those cheesy monster movies that were produced back in the 50's. The acting is supposed to be campy. The situations are supposed to be exaggerated. The special effects are supposed to look cheap. There is supposed to be an inherent humor about how goofy the film is as a whole. And, of course, it's all supposed to be rather tacky and trashy.
