It appears that Adrian Garcia Bogliano’s English language debut got a longer title for it’s DVD/Blu-ray Release, now known as Late Phases: Night of the Lone Wolf. An interesting and sometimes successful throwback to a fine tradition of genre cinema, Bogliano owes a great deal of this to Nick Damici, an actor featured prominently in the films of Jim Mickle. Considering the budget, several of the special effects sequences are quite impressive. Premiering at South By Southwest in 2014, a November theatrical release saw a mixed critical reception.
After the surprising critical success of his 2012 title Here Comes the Devil, the Spanish director makes his English language debut with a somewhat droll werewolf exercise paying heavy homage to several notable genre titles from the 1980s. Entertaining but never as funny or thrilling as this concoction sometimes promises, for those familiar with Bogliano’s earlier titles (this marks his eleventh feature,...

Best known for their work in the horror genre, it is a bit strange to see Larry Fessenden and Brent Kunkle's production banner, Glass Eye Pix, appear at the beginning of a trailer for a documentary titled "American Jesus." Or perhaps not so strange - given the fact that the documentary explores the impact of Christianity on some of the most unexpected places and individuals. In a clip provided exclusively to Indiewire, the film explores the concept of the megachurch and the role it plays in community-building. Providing neither criticism nor praise for the churches - which is rather curious considering the strong feelings that typically accompany any sort of commentary generated around the subject of religion - the film's perspective is akin to that of a bystander. Although the film's trailer makes introductions to a wide range of eccentric Christ-loving characters - including a biker and a tattooed...

The Film:
It’s hard to talk about a new vampire film without canonizing the genre, something that been more of a sell-able product to teens than a source of true horror. The vampire has been a long standing image of the purest images of horror whether it’s been in literature, folklore, or early film. Much like the slasher film burnout from the 1980s and its wimpy (in every sense of the word) resurrection in the 1990s, the vampire film has followed this route. What will shake the hair gel and wimpy attitudes that have de-fanged the genre? Great stories. Pure and simple.
Mulberry Street from director Jim Mickle was a clever and fun little movie. Maybe it was even a damn good movie, but nothing there, in my opinion thanks to hindsight, was an indicator to how great his follow-up in Stake Land would be. And I loved Mulberry Street.

While stumbling around the cyber maze for our weekly Wtf Friday video feature, we came across a pretty bitching untitled viral video that does a hell of a lot more than just bare its fangs.
Upon doing some digging (well okay, all we really did was click the "Show More" button on YouTube), it's become apparent that said viral is actually a video for Jim Mickle’s post-apocalyptic vampire tale Stake Land (review here). Having just watched the flick, we can honestly say this vampire tale is pretty damned epic. As you'll see from the video, these creatures aren't the usual sparkling, brooding, pretty forever-teens that have been jammed down our throats over the last several years. They're blissfully ugly, unabashedly vicious, and just what we needed!
To keep track of this vampire uprising, keep an eye on the On to New Eden website.

IFC will give it a nationwide theatrical platform release and day-and-date VOD launch on April 22nd.

Yet another new image has come our way in promotion of Jim Mickle's highly acclaimed Stake Land, which you'll be able to dig on in theatres April 22nd! Check it out!
The post-apocalyptic Stake Land (review here) stars Kelly McGills as Sister, a nun caught in a crisis of faith who joins forces with vicious vampire hunters Martin (Connor Paolo) and Mister (Nick Damici). But her biggest threat may not come from the bloodthirsty masses — rather from a militia head (Michael Cerveris) who interprets the post-apocalyptic chaos in his own way.
Co-starring are Danielle Harris, Bonnie Dennison, Marianne Hagan, Chance Kelly, Adam Scarimbolo, and Sean Nelson. The film is produced by Dark Sky Films and Larry Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix with producers Derek Curl, Peter Phok, Brent Kunkle, Adam Folk, and Fessenden, who also appears in the film.

There are at least three major horror releases coming out this week, with Bitter Feast, The Last Exorcism and Case 39. Some will cringe at these titles, while others will jump in horrific delight. The independent feature Bitter Feast from director Joe Maggio releases January 4th on DVD and Blu-Ray. This is a tale of revenge, as one chef gives a scathing food critic and blogger his just desserts. This film will release through Dark Sky Films. Other films also release January 4th.
The Eli Roth (Hostel) produced The Last Exorcism did very well at the box office considering its meager $2 million price tag. Yet, movie critics have been ambivalent, with comments like "a nice surprise" (San Francisco Chronicle), "[the film] is thoroughly engrossing until it loses its way about three-quarters in" (USA Today), and "the film’s docu-style and credible improv acting lay the foundation for an eerie and believable horror movie" (Chicago Tribune). So,...

Bitter Feast is revving up for a showing at the Los Angeles Film Festival Thursday, June 17th and now this comedic feature, which involves the dissection of a blogging food critic, has a full trailer available below. If you have ever had a distaste for critics step inside Joe Maggio's vision of "wicked humor" that grows "darker with each course." The trailer is likely rated mature with scenes of violence, torture and murderous delight. Watch at yours and your heart's own risk.
The synopsis for Bitter Feast here:
"'He’s a food blogger,' Peter Grey spits the words out with disdain. A few hours ago, Grey was a chef with a television show, a restaurant, and an endorsement deal for a line of cookware. Now, one overly snarky online review later, he has got nothing. The show is on the verge of being cancelled, his kitchen is in the hands of another chef,...

Larry Fessenden and his production company, Glass Eye Pix, along with their low-budget horror sideline, Scareflix, have been making some of the best indie horror to come out in recent years.
From Ti West’s The Roost in 2005 and the highly acclaimed The House of the Devil in 2009 to Glenn McQuaid’s current period horror/comedy I Sell the Dead, voted Best Indie Film of 2009 by Rue Morgue magazine, Fessenden is on course to being one of the most in-demand producers/directors as well as actors in the 21st Century (check out his IMDb resume – he’s been in everything from the mainstream hit The Brave One with Jodie Foster to the cult horror favorite Session 9).
Dread Central recently interviewed the affable Fessenden about I Sell the Dead as well as future projects which, according to Larry, just may include his script for the remake of The Orphanage.

Dark Sky Films and Glass Eye Pix announced today that Kelly McGillis (Top Gun) has joined the cast of the epic vampire road film Stake Land, which also stars the previously announced Danielle Harris.
The film, written by Jim Mickle and Nick Damici and directed by Jim Mickle (Mulberry Street), takes place following a global spread of vampirism.

Revisionist horror favorite Larry Fessenden (director of Habit, Wendigo and The Last Winter) returned to Montreal’s just-wrapped Fantasia film festival this year with two new films from his indie-horror production company Scareflix: Ti West’s incredibly atmospheric ‘80s horror tribute House Of The Devil (a smash success at Tribeca and a late but great addition to the Fantasia program; see review here) and Glenn McQuaid’s period horror-comedy tribute to British ‘60s/’70s horror classics, I Sell The Dead (another Fango rave; see here; I Sell The Dead goes into limited theatrical release this Friday and is concurrently available as a video-on-demand from IFC Films).
Fessenden was on hand with co-producer Peter Phok and first-time feature director Glenn McQuaid for their award-winning I Sell The Dead, a one-of-a-kind dark adventure film depicting the daily lives and supernatural woes of two lowlife body-snatchers, played by Fessenden himself and Dominic Monaghan...

We’re kicking things off today with an article written by Brian Spears of G&S FX, who did the makeup for the upcoming period zombie movie I Sell the Dead! Hope you guys enjoy it and look forward to more!
