3 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Earlier this evening, the Laemmle Sunset 5 over in West Hollywood hosted the premiere of the new indie vampire flick The Bleeding with several members of the cast in attendance. We spotted several of the stars on the red carpet including Michael Mattias (who also served as a producer), tough guy Michael Madsen, Tony Schiena, Armand Assante and many more. Luckily for Shock Till You Drop, we got the chance to chat with the two lovely leading ladies of the movie, Rachelle Leah (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and Miss Katherine von Drachenberg aka Kat Von D to all you La Ink fans. In The Bleeding , Michael Mattias plays ex-us Army Ranger Shawn Black who's on the hunt for the brutal killer of his parents when he discovers a terrifying family of vampires led by Cain, The Vampire... »
Kat Von D Talks The Bleeding at the Film's La Premiere
3 November 2009 12:43 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
This scribe hit the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of Crush Film’s The Bleeding last night at Sunset 5 in Hollywood, CA, and chatted with the film’s co-star and tattoo artist extraordinaire Kat Von D of the reality series "La Ink". Von D talked up her role as the sexy vampire Vanya in what is her feature film debut, which was directed by Charles Picerni, as well as riffed on the effects required of her.
"It was very rock n’ roll! The prosthetics were my favorite part, and I made friends with all of the prop guys," Von D told Dread Central of her relationship with the film’s FX team. "The hardest part was when I had to bite this girl’s neck when she was tied up. I felt so bad because she was a really good actress and she was screaming and I was »

30 October 2009 3:46 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
We last told you about Creepshow: Raw over a year ago. Is it just another excuse for Taurus Entertainment to cash in on the good name of yet another Romero helmed franchise? Or could there be something to this? The first episode is available now. Judge for yourselves.
Watch the eight-minute entry starring Michael Madsen and directed by "That '70s Show"'s Wilmer Valderrama below. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to slam my dick in my front door until it looks like a sliver of thinly sliced veal.

Madsen Hit With More Financial Worries
28 October 2009 1:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Michael Madsen is sinking deeper into financial turmoil - the bankrupt actor faces eviction from his Malibu, California home for failing to pay his rent.
The Reservoir Dogs star has been hit with a lawsuit from his landlord who alleges Madsen has not paid four months' rent - and owes $80,000 (£50,000).
According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, the star will be evicted if he fails to catch up with his rent arrears.
It's the latest in a long list of financial woes for the star - he filed for bankruptcy in June and owes thousands of dollars in personal loans to Hollywood pals Pierce Brosnan and Quentin Tarantino. »

DVD Review: Hell Ride
25 October 2009 11:04 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
As twilight descends on Quentin Tarantino’s contribution to nineties American cinema, fewer filmmakers are writing scripts with a copy of Pulp Fiction’s in hand for reference. A new filmmaker might reason that Tarantino is so successfully parodying himself these days that they’d be making a copy of a copy and it’s hardly worth it. But for those still in thrall to the magpie’s ouveur and determined to make knock off versions of the movies that electrified 90’s audiences, there’s still one man in Hollywood who’s willing to back them – er, Quentin Tarantino.
Hell Ride is such a movie – a low rent affair produced by Tarantino and the Weinsteins and featuring Dennis Hopper, the late David Carradine and Michael Madsen in parts so slight that you can imagine their participation was gained for a modest outlay of girls, grams and glug, probably at a »

Ciff 2009: The winners! And our reviews

Tina Mabry's "Mississippi Damned," an independent American production, won the Gold Hugo as the best film in the 2009 Chicago International Film Festival, and added Gold Plaques for best supporting actress (Jossie Thacker) and best screenplay (Mabry). It tells the harrowing story of three black children growing up in rural Mississippi in circumstances of violence and addiction. The film's trailer and an interview with Mabry are linked at the bottom.

The win came over a crowed field of competitors from all over the world, many of them with much larger budgets. The other big winner at the Pump Room of the Ambassador East awards ceremony Saturday evening was by veteran master Marco Bellocchio of Italy, who won the Silver Hugo as best director for "Vincere," the story of Mussolini's younger brother.

Secret Identity: Five Comic Book Characters Bruce Campbell Should Play
22 October 2009 2:02 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Longtime Sam Raimi collaborator and "Spider-Man" cameo aficionado Bruce Campbell is said to have a "meaty role" in "Spider-Man 4," but whether that means he'll play one of the film's villains or just have a larger guest stint is unclear at the moment.
Right now, Splash Page readers have the opportunity to weigh in on who Campbell should play in the fourth "Spider-Man" movie, but the brainstorming doesn't end there!
Campbell—an absolute superstar in the geek genre thanks to the "Evil Dead" franchise, "Bubba Ho-Tep" and more—would be great in a variety of comic book roles outside of "Spider-Man 4," don't you think?
Personally, I think that Campbell works best in a supporting capacity when it comes to established franchises—so given that caveat, here are five supporting comic book roles that I think the actor would knock out of the park.

Michael Madsen’s The Bleeding Trailer
21 October 2009 8:11 AM, PDT | HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news »
Michael Madsen takes on Vinnie Jones in the new vampire movie, The Bleeding, on November 10th. The film also stars Dmx, Kat Von D, Michael Matthias (he kind of looks like Vin Diesel) and Armand Assante. Hopefully this won't be as bad as Steven Seagal's Against the Dark When ex-us Army Ranger Shawn Black searches for the brutal killer of his parents, he discovers a terrifying family of vampires led by Cain, The Vampire King. Tipped off by a friendly cop and fortified with blessed weaponry supplied to him by a boozy priest, Black must infiltrate the vampire's lair - a former chemical weapons factory turned night club where he will finally meet the creature that has changed his life forever. »

The Bleeding with an Official Release Date
20 October 2009 9:49 PM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
The Bleeding, which comes out next month looks like a B-movie from the past with Vinnie Jones donning the vampire make-up and Michael Madsen the priest outfit. Not likely to make too many theatres in three weeks The Bleeding will nonetheless be released this November 10 with Armand Assante, Dmx, Rachelle Leah and others starring in a vampire apocalypse. Is the film just a paycheck, or something more? It is too hard to answer this question at this point, but the trailer is just passable as the narration fades in and out while the best parts of The Road Warrior are replayed onscreen. But stay tuned for more info' as it is too soon to tell whether The Bleeding is a wolf in sheeps clothing, or a disasterpiece waiting to happen.
Release: November 10, 2009.
Director: Charlie Picerni.
Writer: Lance Lane.
Cast: Vinnie Jones, Michael Madsen, Armand Assante, Dmx, William McNamara, Krista Ayne, »

First Look at the Trailer for The Bleeding
20 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Tough guys 'n vampires. We've seen the combo before in cinema, but The Bleeding , from director Charles Picerni, is offering a new concoction of bad-asses with Vinnie Jones, Michael Matthias, Michael Madsen, Dmx and Armand Assante. The testosterone is overwhelming. The Bleeding is officially complete and a screening for us press folk is just around the corner. Today, we've got a look at promo art from Arsenal Pictures (to the left) and a trailer (below). And yes, that's Kat Von D you see vamping it up. Synopsis: When ex-us Army Ranger Shawn Black searches for the brutal killer of his parents, he discovers a terrifying family of vampires led by Cain, The Vampire King. Tipped off by a friendly cop and fortified with blessed weaponry supplied to him by a boozy priest,... »
Vinnie Jones Starts The Bleeding
20 October 2009 2:20 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Vinnie Jones has done a lot of ass kicking in his film career. Usually it's other people who are at the receiving end of his huge boot, but this time it's the vampires who find themselves on the short end of the stick!
The Bleeding directed by stunt man Charlie Picerni and starring Vinnie Jones, Michael Madsen, Dmx, Armand Assante, William McNamara, and Katherine von Drachenberg (aka Kat von D) tells the tale of an ex-Army Ranger searching for the killer of his parents who discovers a family of vampires in a former chemical weapons factory-turned-nightclub.
Sound good? Tell you what ... watch the trailer below, which was originally brought to our attention by Quiet Earth; it looks even better! Dig it!

Trailer and poster for The Bleeding with Vinnie Jones, Michael Madsen, Kat von D
19 October 2009 10:53 AM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Without even trying, The Bleeding looks like the best Grindhouse homage we've seen since, well Grindhouse. It's so completely and utterly strange in its combination of elements that it looks like its from another time altogether.
The Bleeding is also a film that might be for those of you who think Daybreakers looks a little too slick, but still want to see a gritty Vampire apocalypse in action. Not that The Bleeding expressly ever comes out and says it's about vampires mind you, it's just something I pieced together from this trailer.
Synopsis:
Surrounded by carnage, slaughter, brutal crashes and total mayhem, Shawn Black is in a race to save the world from pure evil.
The director of The Bleeding is stunt man Charlie Picerni, which is why there's an abundance of car stunts in this footage.
The Bleeding stars Vinnie Jones, Michael Madsen, Dmx, Armand Assante, William McNamara and »

Based on a brilliant book by Neil Gaiman, Coraline is about a young girl that enters a parallel reality when she discovers a hidden door in her new home. In this world she encounters strange characters that help and hinder her journey back into real life.
Directed by Henry Selick of Nightmare Before Christmas fame, Coraline is another great-animated feature that has been released recently. It can sit proud alongside Pixar’s Up and Fantastic Mr Fox.

Infestation (2009)
9 October 2009 2:43 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »
Written and directed by Kyle Rankin
Featuring Chris Marquette, Ray Wise, Brooke Nevin
First Look Studios DVD
Review by Matthew Funk
Infestation seeks no deeper meaning than an orgy of survival horror against an inexplicable man-eating insect assault. Its title has no profound connotation. It does not attempt social commentary. It is what it is. And what it is, is pretty damn satisfying...
At the core of Infestation is a tried-and-true story arc: The heroic journey. Leading man, Cooper goes from being a hedonistic shirker to getting the girl, getting the glory and getting to butcher a lot of animated bugs. He suffers mightily in the process. This is the same arc that “Chosen Ones” like Cooper have featured in since Babylonians got it in their head to write down some of the mythical mutterings they traded over sacrificial fires. It follows this formula so concisely that audiences craving more »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Henry’ Remains an Indelible ‘Portrait’ of a Sociopath
6 October 2009 10:39 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Twenty-three years after it was made, and nineteen years after its limited theatrical release, “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer” is as potent and relevant as ever. Filmmaker John McNaughton, along with writing partner Richard Fire, proved that true horror is found not in manufactured scares that jolt the audience like a theme park ride, but in the corrupted mind and soul of an evil being. The film truly is a human “portrait,” since it is more interested in behavior than plot. McNaughton used the true story of a Texas killer named Henry as his inspiration for this masterwork, which still stands as one of the finest and most unsettling independent films ever made.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
There are definite echoes of “Psycho” in the film’s unforgettable opening sequence, where the camera focuses on Henry’s recent victims with a quiet horror that evokes memories of Marion Crane’s »

Quentin Tarantino Talks 'Kill Bill 3'... But Not For Anytime Soon
1 October 2009 2:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Quentin Tarantino isn't quite finished with Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman) -- "Kill Bill"'s vengeful Bride -- just yet, not if an interview he did on Italian TV is to be believed. In the director's own words: "The Bridge will fight again!" There's a catch though: it's not happening anytime soon.
"I gotta wait a couple years because I wanted 10 years to pass," he said, as reported by The Playlist. Tarantino offers two reasons for the 10 year wait, which would see the next "Kill Bill" releasing no earlier than 2014. "One: I think Uma [Thurman] and I needed a 10 year break cause the first one was so hard. And second: I really love the character. And I think she deserves a 10 year release of no fighting and being with her [daughter]."
Of course, anything Tarantino says about potential sequels should always be consumed with a shaker full of salt. The Playlist reminds us of "The Vega Brothers, »
