The destruction is going to be biblical in this weekend’s Syfy original supernatural disaster movie The Terror Beneath when seeds from the Garden of Eden unleash apocalyptic foliage upon our modern world. And to think all these years we’ve been led to believe the apple was the source of man’s downfall.

Synopsis:

Militant environmentalists Kate and Joe witness, and videotape, the rapid growth of a gigantic root system that literally begins mowing through the country like an earthquake. At the same time, government agent Jack Taylor contacts plant expert Jocelyn Snow, who discovers that her ex-colleague, Frame Marcos, is the probable source of the ancient seed that started the whole ecological disaster. Under the growing threat of massive tsunamis should the enormous root system burrow under the ocean, Jack, Jocelyn, Joe and Kate confront Frame in his compound, then return to the place where it all began,...

Much to my disappointment, Ghost Storm is not a disaster-horror hybrid about a supernatural storm cloud that rains ghostly ectoplasm which steals the souls of everyone it touches. Or is it?

No, actually, it isn’t. But doesn’t that sound like a perfect pitch for a Syfy flick? As does the actual plot of Ghost Storm, and not surprisingly, since it happens to be a Syfy original movie currently in the works.

An action packed chase led by Hal and Ashley to save the people on this small island from a strange electrical storm which is led by angry souls from a mass suicide looking for revenge.

Electrical storm? Angry souls? Mass suicide? I hope the ending involves a meteorological exorcism involving the use of Kool-Aid because that would be… I shouldn’t be giving stuff like that away for free; gotta save it for my raining ectoplasm flick.

Director: Paul Ziller. Review: Adam Wing. I don’t know what scares me the most about Stonehenge Apocalypse - the fact that the line “A nuclear attack on Stonehenge will destroy the entire planet” is used, or the fact that I actually quite enjoyed it. On the most primitive of levels of course. I say primitive, I’m trying to remain respected here. I actually enjoyed it because it really wasn’t that bad a movie, note the word usage however - ‘really wasn’t that bad a movie’. At no point did I state that it was a good movie, ok? When a group of archaeologists dig up a human skeleton near the historical monument of Stonehenge, an ancient piece of machinery is discovered hidden beneath the ground. Not knowing what it could be, the workers accidentally trigger the mechanism and start a chain of events that could very...

Scream Of The Banshee Will Become The 200Th Syfy Saturday Original Movie, Premiering March 26 At 9Pm (Et/Pt)

New York – March 1, 2011 – Since 2002, Syfy viewers have experienced mutated sharks, mosquito men, alligators as big as blimps, vengeful demon moths, pterodactyls, werewolves, dragons and really, really big snakes. Plus earthquakes that split the U.S. in half, man-made volcanoes, space storms, tornadoes made of ice, magnetic meteors and plagues of killer locusts — every unnatural disaster imaginable.

Now Syfy celebrates its bi-weekly assault on humanity with the premiere of its 200th Saturday Original Movie, Scream of the Banshee, on Saturday, March 26, at 9Pm (Et/Pt).

In Scream of the Banshee, when a college professor opens a mysterious and ornate box discovered hidden in the tunnels under her university, she and her students hear the horrifying scream of a bloodthirsty Banshee. Everyone who hears the scream is fated to die a strange and terrible death.

Utter ludicrousness arrives in the form of “Stonehenge Apocalypse”, an opportunistic made for TV outing aiming to cash in on the semi success of the considerably flashier and more glamorous “2012”. Director Paul Ziller certainly has a great deal of experience in the low budget disaster movie arena, having helmed the likes of “Solar Strike”, “Polar Storm” and the excellently titled “Ice Quake”, not to mentioned a long list of cheap creature features including “Beyond Loch Ness”, “Snakehead Terror”, “Swarmed” and more. The film has a relatively recognisable cast made up of television stars, headlined by Misha Collins (“Supernatural”), with support from Hill Harper (“CSI: NY”), Torri Higginson (“Stargate: Atlantis”) and Peter Wingfield (“Highlander: The Source”). Coming with an all important behind the Scenes featurette and trailer, the film is out now on region 2 DVD thanks to Anchor Bay Entertainment. The film follows Collins as Jacob Glaser, a formerly respected and...

Stonehenge Apocalypse

Stars: Misha Collins, Hill Harper, Torri Higginson Peter Wingfield | Written by Paul Ziller, Brad Abraham | Directed by Paul Ziller

Whilst hosting his late night talk show, disgraced scientist and conspiracy theorist Dr. Jacob Glaser (Collins) is alerted to the news that the stones of Stonehenge have begun moving of their own accord. Believing that the anomaly is connected to a recent electromagnetic energy burst that spread from Maine to England, he travels to England in the hopes of proving his unfounded theory – that Stonehenge is actually part of an alien terraforming device that is currently modifying the planet for it’s new inhabitants! When scientists at the Stonehenge site discover a countdown clock hidden within the radio waves emanating from it becomes a race against time to prevent the forthcoming apocalypse.

Meanwhile across the globe Joseph Leshem (Harper), a former colleague of Dr. Glaser, has discovered a hidden...

As a movie title alone it’s a work of pure genius. What ends up on screen if you actually decide to watch it, could be a whole different kettle of fish. Director Paul Ziller presents to you - via Anchor Bay Entertainment - the sci-fi fantasy thriller Stonehenge Apocalypse is out on UK DVD next month. Watch the trailer at your peril. Saying that, we have seen worse. Maybe. Synopsis: An ancient prophecy comes to pass when archaeologists unearth an Egyptian chamber in Maine, sparking a devastating electromagnetic pulse that originates in Stonehenge and sends destructive shockwaves around the globe. When the Aztec pyramids crumble and the stones take on a life of their own, a renegade radio host, a team of scientists, and a team of British commandoes race to prevent the same force responsible for creating life on Earth from cleansing the planet in order to herald...

While this weekend brings us the world premiere of the cinematic epic Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, Syfy is already putting out promotional clips for their next offering for February, Iron Invader, which sees Earth invaded by a alien bacteria that not only fatally infects people, it also brings a giant ironworks statue to life to go on a rampage.

Alien bacteria arrives on a meteorite and infects metal, animating a giant iron statue that goes on a killing rampage in a small town. It's up to Kavan Smith ("Stargate: Atlantis", "The 4400"), Chris Gauthier ("Eureka", "Smallville"), Nicole DeBoer ("Haven", "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"), Paul McGillion ("Stargate: Atlantis", "Sanctuary") and Donnelly Rhodes ("Battlestar Galactica", "Charles in Charge") to save the world.

If there's one thing that cast proves, it's that if you've ever starred in a Syfy original series, then you pretty much look to have a job for life appearing in Syfy original movies.

We learned on June 21st, that an ancient prophecy has been revealed…The discovery of an Egyptian chamber beneath the coast of Maine triggers a deadly electromagnetic occurrence at Stonehenge, followed by explosive devastation at the Aztec pyramids. Something within the centuries-old stones has come alive, and a series of terrifying global catastrophes is about to be unleashed, perhaps signifying the apocalypse. Now a team of international scientists, a UK commando unit, and a conspiracy-obsessed American radio host must find a way to stop the cataclysmic power that created life on this planet before it can be reborn to destroy us all.

For centuries, Stonehenge has stood as a silent shrine to Man’s ancient history. Nobody knows for sure why it was built, or for what purpose. In the 21st century, the enigmatic monument may be the harbinger of the extinction of the entire human race! Anchor Bay Entertainment...

With "Heroes" history, that means cast members are going to be looking for work. The good news for anyone who has ever appeared on a popular genre program is that you can always count on getting work in a Syfy original movie. Next year former flying hero Adrian Pasdar will have to deal with a more earthbound horror when he enters Syfy's Garden of Evil.

So what terror awaits Pasdar in this garden of evil? It's actually an ecological disaster flick, but the disaster is being caused by monstrous plants unleashed from ancient times.

Militant environmentalists Kate and Joe witness, and videotape, the rapid growth of a gigantic root system that literally begins mowing through the country like an earthquake. At the same time, government agent Jack Taylor contacts plant expert Jocelyn Snow, who discovers that her ex-colleague, Frame Marcos, is the probable source of the ancient seed that started the whole ecological disaster.

So I get this screener in the mail the other day, and it’s for a Syfy Original movie called Stonehenge Apocalypse. I laughed out loud like a loon when I saw the title printed on the DVD. I thought: How can I not watch this movie? I’ve been to Stonehenge -- twice! -- and of course I was desperate to see just how wrong this movie would get it. Now, we all know just how terrible Syfy Original movies are. This one is worse. And not just because it tries to fool us into thinking that some bad-cgi standing stones in the middle of the mountains and evergreen trees of British Columbia is the ancient monument that sits on Salisbury Plain. (Besides the lack of mountains in Salisbury, there are also some very busy roads right there next to Stonehenge: it’s not in the middle of nowhere.

Debuting this Saturday, June 12 at 9 p.m. on Syfy, Stonehenge Apocalypse stars Misha Collins as a radio talk-show host trying to convince the world that the ancient monoliths are the cause of mysterious cataclysms taking place around the world. Dinocroc Vs. Supergator premieres on the channel Saturday, June 26 at 9 p.m; this Jim Wynorski-directed flick takes place on a tropical island where the titular giant creatures escape an experimental facility and start attacking tourists. Check out clips from both after the jump.

The only people who like destroying the world more than Roland Emmerich are the movie execs at Syfy, and they're always coming up with new and more preposterous ways of wreaking havoc on humanity. Syfy's latest source for our doom hails from the English countryside in the form of a Stonehenge Apocalypse, and you can witness the beginning of our demise in a new clip from the film debuting this weekend.

When a group of archaeologists dig up a human skeleton near the historical monument of Stonehenge, an ancient piece of machinery hidden beneath the bedrock is discovered. Not knowing what it could be, the workers accidentally trigger the mechanism and start a chain of events that may very well end the world as we know it.

Our only hope for salvation comes in the form of an Art Bell-ish radio talk-show host played by Mischa Collins of "Supernatural...

Syfy rocks when it premieres its Original Movie Stonehenge Apocalypse next month. The science-fiction thriller in which the ancient monoliths trigger horrific disasters all over the world was directed by Syfy stalwart Paul Ziller (Snakehead Terror, Sea Beast, Yeti) and written by Ziller and Brad Abraham, the latter of whom spoke to Fango about the project and the Syfy development process.

This past weekend gave us Dinoshark (review here), the trailer for the Syfy bound Dinocroc vs. Supergator just went live, and we're all chomping at the bit for Sharktopus; but what else does Syfy have in store for viewers? Glad you asked. A new slate of Saturday night creature features has been announced, and I can tell you about a few others, too.

First up, let's just quote from Syfy's own press announcement (note that we've previously reported on a few of these):

Mega Piranha—Premieres Saturday, April 10, at 9Pm (Et/Pt)—An unusual alliance tries to stop a mutant strain of giant ferocious piranhas that have escaped from the Amazon and are eating their way to Florida. Stars Barry Williams, Tiffany, and Paul Logan.

Mothman—Premieres Saturday, April 24, at 9Pm (Et/Pt)—The legendary West Virginia monster returns to exact revenge on five childhood friends who covered up an accidental killing.

Syfy announced its slate of original movies for the 2010-2011 season, including the promised "Sharktopus."

"Riverworld," based on the classic sci fi novels by Philip Jose Farmer, is a four-hour movie event that stars "Battlestar Galactica's" Tahmoh Penikett and "Smallville's" Laura Vandervoort.

The story centers on the greater part of humanity that lived on Earth suddenly finding themselves resurrected on a terraformed planet known as Riverworld. Among these people are war correspondent Matt Ellman (Penikett) and his fiancee (Vandervoort), both of whom had been killed and now find themselves alive and kicking, although separated. Matt enlists the help of Mark Twain (Mark Deklin) and a 13th-century female samurai warrior Tomoe (Jeananne Goossen).

Another four-hour movie event, "The Phantom," premieres in June and reimagines the classic comic strip. Ryan Carnes stars as Chris Walker/The Phantom, along with the legendary Isabella Rossellini as the villainous Lithia.

Less serious but...
