The man who calls himself the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be will be co-starring with an '80s child star in an all-new horror movie. Called Tales from the Dead Zone, the new movie will star wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart alongside Corey Feldman. As an anthology movie, four separate stories will be explored, connected by an overall story arc that wraps them together. It's presented from the point of view of a medical examiner performing autopsies on the victims of a deadly car crash, imagining what their lives must have been like prior to the incident.

Concerning the cast, it appears there are many horror fans not very receptive to the idea of seeing a movie co-starring Bret Hart and Corey Feldman. "We get messages from people, who think it's a disaster," says director Barry J. Gillis.

“Free Fall,” the latest thriller from Anchor Bay Entertainment, is promising to make elevators your worst nightmare.

Six college friends meet up for a carefree weekend that turns deadly. A terrorist attack in a nearby town infects much of the townspeople with a deadly virus that induces rabies-like symptoms, only far more severe. Several of those infected attack the...

Director/writer: Christopher Roosevelt. Cast: Kayla Ewell, Richard Kohnke, Ashlee Brian, Brittney Alger, Sarah Butler, and Michael Welch. The Demented is a straight-to-dvd and Blu-ray outing from first time director Christopher Roosevelt and Anchor Bay Entertainment. This indie features borrows a lot of its material from zombie films like: 28 Days Later, the Dawn of the Dead remake and several others. Are these really zombies, though? The answer to this question is not totally relevant as Roosevelt chooses to focus on the action and stuntwork; characters and backstories suffer. In the end, The Demented is a flashy indie outing, which is meant as light entertainment. The film begins with six friends: Taylor (Kayla Ewell), David (Richard Kohnke), Brice (Ashlee Brian), Naomi (Brittney Alger), Sharley (Sarah Butler) and Howard (Michael Welch). They head out to a summer vacation spot. The cabin is more of a mansion and there are some unexpected visitors.

Anchor Bay Films’ upcoming biological warfare thriller, “The Demented” will be on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack July 30. The film comes from the creative minds of “I Spit on Your Grave” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and stars Sarah Butler (“I Spit on Your Grave”), Brittney Alger (“21 Jump Street”), Kayla Ewell (“The Vampire Diaries”), Richard Kohnke (“The Carrie Diaries”) and Michael Welch (“The Twilight Saga” Franchise). The film starts out innocently enough, but it quickly becomes a scary survival film with the enemy being infected townspeople. Here’s the synopsis of “The Demented”: “The Demented follows six college friends as they meet up for a carefree weekend in a beautiful [ Read More ]

Nothing kills a horror movie more than a feeling of mundane repetitiveness. How many times have we seen “infection” movies about the end of the world? A billion – and it’s always the same set up. A bunch of college kids end up on vacation or together for some reason, disaster strikes, they get caught in the middle of some horrendous scenario where infected people are eating one another, and they try to escape. That’s the plan so many generic horror movies stick to – it never fails. Unfortunately for director Christopher Roosevelt, The Demented doesn’t deviate from that blueprint in the slightest, offering no memorable moments of creative interpretation.

The setting? Louisiana. The characters? A group of insanely good looking hardbodies you’ve seen here and there. The scenario? While vacationing at Howard’s (Michael Welch) rich father’s house, terrorists attack America using biological weapons that turn people into cannibalistic freaks.

Like “The Crazies”, but more zombier, apparently is the idea behind Christopher Roosevelt’s “The Demented”. It’s a moderately budgeted horror movie, to be sure, but after viewing the trailer for the film, I have to say, it looks pretty decent, despite the barfingly generic opening (“Partaaaaaay!!!”). Of course, trailers are like that — they can sell a movie even when the movie is bad. I don’t know if Roosevelt’s movie is bad, but it’s definitely going on my “check it out if you have nothing else to do one Sunday afternoon” list. But hey, don’t take my word for it. See the first trailer for “The Demented” yourself. Your mileage (depending on how you approach these moderately budgeted horror movies) may vary.

The Demented is a zombie film from a trio of production companies. Chickflick Productions, Zero Gravity Management and Hollywood Media Bridge have put together an undead thrill ride, which will release theatrically later this year. This title will also release on home entertainment formats in late July. The film follows several friends on a weekend in the country.

Your first look at the undead mayhem that is on tap in Anchor Bay's The Demented has arrived, and you should run - not shamble - in here to check it out. Though we still do prefer zombies who shamble.

The script was penned by writer/director Chris Roosevelt. Benjamin Sacks and Bryan Sexton serve as executive producers. Zero Gravity’s Christine Holder, Mark Holder, and Damiano Tucci are producing alongside ChickFlicks’ Sara Risher. Shirley Craig, Phil Goldfine, and Steven R. Monroe are also producing.

More details have come in for The Demented, a film we picked up on while attending the American Film Market in October yet had no information one.

Today, we have some early sales art (to the left) and a plot synopsis.  The film stars Sarah Butler, star of the I Spit On Your Grave remake.

A group of friends is confronted by victims of a terrorist missile strike, which has unleashed a virus and turned them into rabid, rage infused demented creatures. 

Terrorist missles?  Yikes.  Helluva set-up there.

With Danish filmmaker Adam Neutzksy-Wulff’s psychological thriller The Stranger Inside currently making the film market rounds, here’s a first look at the flick’s poster as well as an update from star Sarah Butler.

“There’s no trailer yet,” Butler, who starred in 2010’s I Spit on Your Grave and who in The Stranger Inside stars opposite Estella Warren (2001’s Planet of the Apes) and William Baldwin (Backdraft), said of the film, “[but] they had a sales trailer that I saw and went crazy about. It's gonna be so good! I'll let you know as soon as there's anything to report.”

Written, produced (with Michael Aoun and Paul Tilly), and directed by Neutzsky-Wulff, The Stranger Inside filmed earlier this year in Mallorca, Spain, as well as in Copenhagen, Denmark, and New York, New York. Jeffrey Pierce ("Fear Itself"), Kim Bodnia (Pusher), and Katia Winter ("Dexter") also star.

As for the narrative,...

'Saw IV' scribe Thomas Fenton has been tapped for writing responsibilities on announced horror sequel 'I Spit on Your Grave 2'. The writer has officially joined the production with very little else at this early stage known about the project. The movie follows (or may even prequelise) the Steven R. Monroe directed 2010 remake of 'I Spit on Your Grave', based on the original - and brutal - revenge horror tale directed and written by Meir Zarchi. The remake starred the gorgeous Sarah Butler but its unclear at this point if she'll be involved in the sequel if indeed director Monroe will be returning. Butler herself can next be seen in Christopher Roosevelt's new horror thriller 'The Demented'...

Anchor Bay continues to make significant investments in new horror films and has picked up The Demented, with plans to release it in 2013. The movie recently finished filming in Louisiana and was written and directed by Chris Roosevelt.

Synopsis: Six college friends meet up for a carefree weekend that turns deadly. A terrorist attack in a nearby town infects much of the townspeople with a deadly virus that induces rabies-like symptoms, only far more severe. Several of those infected (the title characters) attack the estate where the friends have been vacationing. Can they survive? Where will they hide? Is anyone left? Will we ever get our fill of these flesh eating zombie fiends? (No, to the last question).
