Ahead of Jurassic World Rebirth, Daniel Baldwin's Indie Dino Horror Movie Jurassic: Reborn Unveils First Look
Image
Hopping on the dinosaur movie train is a new film starring Daniel Baldwin (Vampires) by German director Marcel Walz (That’s a Wrap). The title of the new indie film, Jurassic: Reborn, not-so-subtly pays homage to a certain decades-old, but still popular movie franchise. Per Deadline, production on the upcoming film that also stars Bryan Scamman (The Box), Danielle Titus (When the Night Falls), and Esmeree Sterling (Nobody’s Angel)has just wrapped.

The new movie, written by Alex Heerman (24 Hours to D-Day), is described as a “bloody action adventure.” A summary of the film reads: “When cutting-edge research leads to the creation of living dinosaurs, a team of scientists on a secluded island must risk their lives and confront the now-growing creatures to prevent the animals from escaping and attacking the mainland.”

Image
ITN Studios has renamed their horror movie inspired by Mickey Mouse from ‘The Mouse Experiment’ to ‘Mouse of Horrors.’

This exciting new indie film has released an official trailer and promises a terrifying twist on a beloved character.

The movie, set to hit theaters soon, features a group of friends who find themselves trapped and hunted by a mutated rat named Steamboat Willie at a creepy amusement park.

Directed by Brendan Petrizzo, the cast of ‘Mouse of Horrors’ includes Natasha Tosini, Lewis Santer, Nichaela Farrell, Michelle Bauer, Allie Moreno, and Tessa Wood. It’s important to note that this film is not associated with the so-called “Poohniverse.”

‘Devil’s Triangle’ DVD Review
Image
Stars: Liam Hawley, Morgan Bradley, Alyson Gorske, Torrey Richardson, Fred Williamson, Mark Valeriano, Myron Kingery, Alison Filoramo, Anthony W. Preston, Jordy Tulleners, Victoria Grant, Anna Shields, Alejandro De Anda | Written by Brendan Haley, Joe Roche | Directed by Brendan Petrizzo

Devil’s Triangle is the latest film from The Asylum, kings of the mockbuster, who – this time around – give us an original story, set in that most famous of mysterious “landmarks”, the Bermuda Triangle. And who doesn’t love a good Bermuda Triangle movie? Hollywood certainly does. Hell, we got an entire TV show inspired by the urban legend.

Devil’s Triangle reminded me very much of 1978’s The Return of Captain Nemo – that film, at the time, married old-fashioned tech with modern-day stylings, whereas Devil’s Triangle takes futuristic elements of the Atlanteans and transplants wonder-day folk into them. And given that I’ve always Loved The Return of Captain Nemo, I felt...

Monster Hunters Trailer Locks Tom Sizemore in a Fight Against Insane Alien Creatures
Image
The Asylum has released a new trailer for Monster Hunters just in time for the movie's arrival. We have been faced with a summer movie season that has been truly lacking in blockbuster action. While this fits into the mockbuster category, it may well be able to give movie lovers some of what they have been missing as it sees Tom Sizemore battling alien beasts in a fight for the very survival of Earth. As we can see from the trailer,

The trailer wastes no time in getting to the meat on these bones as it kicks off with a ship crash landing on Earth. We then find the government's Alien Defense Unit, which is tasked with containing any extraterrestrial threats that may come about as a result. But they are unsuccessful in that regard, which ensures that we are going to have a movie on our hands and not...
