It was recently announced that the Rio Bravo creative team are working on a third film in that series, to be called The Last Heroes of Rio Bravo – but before that goes into production, they’re returning to the horror genre! Cornet is set to direct a horror film called The Ominous, with production scheduled to start in February of 2024. Nevsky is producing the film through his Hollywood Storm production banner and will also be starring in it, making his horror acting debut!

The latest film from director John Fallon, the founder of the Arrow in the Head horror section of JoBlo, is a hardcore thriller that was originally announced under the title Braek – and while it will still have that title in some territories, in others it’s now known as Malicious. That’s the title it will have when 4 Digital Media gives it a VOD release in North America on October 10th… and with that date just a couple months away, a new trailer and poster for the film have arrived online! You can watch the trailer in the embed above. Our friends at Coming Soon got the first look at the poster, which can now be seen at the bottom of this article.
Malicious will also be reaching VOD in the UK and Ireland on October 16th.

MidWest WeirdFest have announced the full program for 2023. The 7th annual film festival – a cinematic celebration of of all things fantastic, frightening, paranormal, and just plain weird – takes place March 3rd – 5th, 2025 at the Micon Downtown Cinema in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Among the fest’s fantastic line-up of horror, sci-fi, underground and documentary cinema, are several fantastic films that will be premiering at the event. One of these is Braek (pictured above), a genre-bending crime caper come rural horror movie. Says Braek director John Fallon:
The making of Braek was a suicide mission and I couldn’t have pulled it off without my small yet efficient cast/crew. Better to go to war with 15 lions than a 100 sheep as they say. We are very proud to have our USA premiere at Midwest WeirdFest, a festival that I’ve always esteemed. Braek is more than just another ‘home invasion’ type...

Rachel Darwin (Sarah Jurgens) is a young, mother-to-be, haunted by nightmares. When she wakes, looming over her is the shadowy image of a dark man with a brimmed hat. Her hotshot lawyer of a husband, Scott (Nick Baillie), doesn’t believe in any of that supernatural nonsense. It’s sleep paralysis. It’s stress. It’s hallucinations. Rachel seeks group therapy, but she’s too weird, even for them. But she’s not too weird for William (Adam Tomlinson), who knows exactly what she’s going through and is even weirder than her. What is the shadow man? Is he the manifestations of a confused and troubled woman? Or is he an extra-dimensional cattle rustler looking to fatten up and eat human souls?

In Eternal, the vampire is a vamp. And a lesbian vamp at that. Indeed, the film's debuting Canadian writer-director-producers, Wilhelm Liebenberg and Federico Sanchez, are so determined to turn their tale of Ms. Dracula into an erotic thriller, they sacrifice all story logic and character integrity at the altar of bondage, blindfolds, fetish worship, high-risk sex and several literal bloodbaths. Bram Stoker would be, well, horrified.
The filmmakers certainly pile on the atmosphere. There's a dark, forbidding stately home hidden away in woods with bonfires on the front lawn, boudoirs and bathrooms dripping with suggestive decor that mingles the sinister with the decadent, an orgiastic Venetian masked ball with painted, semi-nude women. Every female in the movie is dressed to look like a tart or a dominatrix. Occasional lapses in dialogue contain such howlers that one is tempted to treat the movie as camp, but Liebenberg and Sanchez seem to be treating all this with studied seriousness.
Not that any audience will. Eternal is selling sex and horror and young, beautiful women in jeopardy. Nothing new there. This 2003 film, according to the credit roll, will entice young people in the mood for old-fashioned voyeurism, but boxoffice will be fleeting, certainly not eternal. Real payoff will come in cable and DVD.
The hero is a Montreal vice cop, Raymond Pope (Conrad Pla) -- don't you love that name? -- whose approach to his job is to indulge in as much vice as possible. He apparently is willing to have kinky sex with just about every eligible woman in Montreal other than his wife (Sarah Manninen).
Meanwhile, his wife goes cruising for women. Being more discreet than her husband, she does so on the Internet under the handle of Wildcat. Which brings her to a gated mansion that would not be out of place in New Orleans, where she meets the alarmingly alluring Elizabeth Kane (Caroline Neron in a bravura performance). Elizabeth seduces, then slays Wildcat with a sharp metal dagger that slips over one of her fingers.
As Elizabeth drinks thirstily from an open vein in WIldcat's neck, her hapless assistant Irina (Victoria Sanchez) wanders in and says, "I'm sorry. I hope I'm not disturbing you."
Irina soon has more pressing concerns when Pope shows up a few days later -- it takes awhile for him to notice his wife is missing -- and reveals he is a cop. Irina was supposed to vet such troublesome victims before ushering them in to her mistress.
Thankfully for Elizabeth, Pope is a poor cop. For he never bothers to make his investigation official -- after all, a missing person is a missing person -- or to find and follow up on clues. Mostly, he continually confronts Elizabeth, makes empty threats and finally decides what the hell and has sex with her, too.
Meanwhile, bodies pile up and all evidence points toward Pope. Why this would be is unclear because nowhere in vampire literature do the Undead have the ability to fabricate DNA or to cause anyone's body fluids to turn up in places they should not be.
One body happens to belong to the wife (Ilona Elkins) of Pope's partner (Nick Baillie, ) with whom -- you guessed it -- Pope has been having an affair involving bondage and razor blades. Another belongs to his flirty baby-sitter (Liane Balaban). What Pope doesn't seem to realize -- but the viewer does -- is that Elizabeth is really Countess Erszebet Bathory of Hungary, a 15th century woman responsible for the torture deaths of about 650 young women.
Anyway, the movie moves on to a wild climax in Venice that is rife with illogic. That is unless someone can explain how a bunch of Italian cops can capture and imprison a vampire by simply drawing their weapons. The film ends with an enigmatic coda that might signal the desire for a sequel. More Eternity anyone?
