We round up the latest horror-tinged Blu-ray and DVD releases....

So, after a brief hiatus, it turns out a lot’s happened in the few months between these round ups. A snap general election has been called, terror has struck at the heart of Manchester and a scandal approaching Watergate levels has hit the U.S presidency. More importantly, Troll 2 has finally come to UK Netflix and is the cherry on the cake made entirely of a series of kind of wonderful, kind of… not films on DVD and Bluray.

So, 1990’s Troll 2, you may or may not be aware of, is generally regarded as one of the very greatest 'so bad it’s good' movies. There are many worse (The Rollerblade Seven or Gary Oldman little person rom-com Tiptoes come to mind), though it’s difficult to think of many other truly awful movies...

Stars: Jennifer Wilde, Graham Emmons, Kathryn Gould, Joe Abplanalp, Troy Alan, Michael Haskins, Taylor Hulett, Louise Macdonald, Patrick Sheridan | Written and Directed by Haylar Garcia

A group of teenage outcasts, who have been picked on by the popular kids one too many times, hatch a plan to get revenge on their tormentors. After a night full of violent video games, drugs, and alcohol, they formulate a plan to kill their classmates at the upcoming homecoming dance. The problem is they don’t have the funds to get an arsenal of weapons for this school shooting. So they hatch an elaborate scheme to steal a cache of guns from a local trash pickup man who has a pro-gun sticker on his truck. While one of the kids continues to prepare for Armageddon at the Homecoming dance, the other two break into the trashman’s home to steal his guns. But the...

A group of friends, bullied and tormented at high school on a daily basis, form a plan to get back at the people who have made their life a living hell. Whilst trying to obtain the weapons necessary for the completion of their pact, they stumble across the twisted underground labyrinth of an crazed mad man. Trapped and being hunted through dark tunnels, their only hope is to escape or be killed as part of the man’s twisted bloody rituals.

An American Terror is controversial with a capital C. The main characters, after all, are planning to murder all their classmates at Homecoming. School shooting is an extremely sensitive subject especially with recent events. That fact alone made me twist awkwardly in my seat as the story began,...

Goldthwait will be on hand for a post-screening Q&A moderated by Film Comment‘s Laura Kern. Also playing on this opening night are a program of scary short films and the feature An American Terror, a post-Columbine fright flick by Haylar Garcia.

As for the other nine nights, sticking true to the “International” in the fest’s name are movies such as the Ireland/France/Sweden co-production Dark Touch by Marina de Van about...

With the indie feature An American Terror currently enjoying its festival run, we caught up with filmmaker Haylar Garcia to get the skinny on the latest. Read on for his comments along with our initial impressions of the flick.

An American Terror was written, directed, and edited by Denver, Colorado, filmmaker Garcia; produced by Sam Sleiman and Tarik Heitmann; and executive produced by Jim Brennan and Roland Salameh.

"We are so flattered and grateful for the response to the film," offered Garcia, "as it was accepted as official selections at Crypticon Seattle, Comic Con Denver, and of course the amazing La Fear & Fantasy Film Fest, where we actually took away awards for 'Best Feature', 'Best Director,' and 'Best Actress'. We are excited to be attending such amazing events with such gracious hosts, audiences, and our badass filmmaking peers. We have our fingers crossed for a great 2013 fest season, especially in September and October,...

Mark your calendars! Haylar Garcia’s buzzed-about feature An American Terror is screening in Los Angeles, CA, this May, and we’ve got the details. Read on!

“We are honored to part of the La Fear and Fantasy Film Festival,” filmmaker Garcia told us of the fest’s selection of his An American Terror. “They have been nothing but great, and they really seem to be behind independent film. We hope that showcasing the film in L.A. will help reach the sales platform we think it deserves.”

Written, directed and edited by Garcia and produced by Sam Sleiman and Tarik Heitmann and executive produced by Jim Brennan and Roland Salameh, the official synopsis for An American Terror reads as follows: Three teen outcasts decide to trade their nameless and bullied existences for internet fame by exacting a sadistic template for the unthinkable, but in their search for the assault weapons to pull it off,...

From Columbine to Sandy Hook, school shootings have truly become a modern American terror, and given horror cinema’s historic penchant for addressing the populace’s real-life anxieties in the wake of such tragedies, it was only a matter of time before a filmmaker reflected on this raw topic.

Just as the Saw series and Eli Roth’s Hostel (debatably reactionary films which perhaps unconsciously attempted to ease our psyches in the wake of the stream of beheading and torture videos which emanated from the Middle East commencing with the first Gulf War) drew audience attention, so did George Romero’s 1968 classic feature Night of the Living Dead, via its thinly-veiled commentary on race relations. The amount of sociological discourse inherent in horror is voluminous, and Colorado filmmaker Haylar Garcia is about to throw his hat into the ring, with his forthcoming feature An American Terror (the film’s trailer...
